Great Accessory [Posted on 2008-06-03]
A great product. Some of the reviews mentioned that the piece will go dead and wont charge after a month. I was a bit concerned at first, but luckily after about 8 months of usage, it is working great.
I have a touchscreen smart phone that has to be carried in a case on the belt. the BT piece makes answering calls so easy. I dont have to pull my phone out, fiddle with buttons or anything.
The piece comes with interchangeable ear buds. I first tried out the longer ear buds. But storing it in pockets can be a problem, so went with the smaller ear bud and it fits just as well.
one press /one beep of the button to end the call (when call in progress), one press/two quick beeps to redial last dialled number, one press / one beep to activate voice command.
best of all, you avoid the 'cockroach on ear' look.
I do wish this had a regular mini usb port for recharging. The piece comes with a proprietry port that requires a seperate charger or a seperate USB cable. If they had used a mini usb port, it would ahve made life simpler. if that was there, this review would have five stars.
Still, the enclosed USB cable is quite useful. helps you to throw that charger away and not use it at all.
Excellent item, easy to put on and comfy! [Posted on 2008-06-05]
I have owned a few of these hands free bluetooth headsets, including the most expensive one, the jawbone. This Jabra one is far better. First of all, it is the only one that I am able to put on quickly to answer a call (i refuse to walk around all the time with the thing on my ear!!). The sound quality is excellent. You can walk pretty far away from your phone and it still works. The most important part is that it is very comfortable to wear because of the fact that most of the bulk of it fits behind your ear. In fact, people can't really tell that i have it on.

Easiest bluetooth headset ever [Posted on 2008-06-05]
I love the way it fits on my ear... easy and comfortable. It works great too. What more can you ask?
Love it!!! [Posted on 2008-07-08]
This bluetooth has great sound quality and comfortable fit - even with glasses! Easy to use.
Ok indoors. Virtually unusable in the car. [Posted on 2008-09-02]
I purchased this headset to replace the Jabra 250 that I had for years and worked superbly until it recently started refusing to pair with my new phone. Assuming this was simply the newer version of the same model, I purchased it without hesitation. What a mistake! For some reason, the sensitivity level on the 500 model is exponentially greater than on its predecessor. Although you might think that's a good thing, believe me - it's not. When I drive in the car (with the windows closed, the AC off, and on local roads) people on the other line say that they can barely hear what I'm saying, even though I'm actually almost yelling! They say it sounds like I'm standing on a very busy street in the city. While inside, even running the water to wash your hands proves to be significantly annoying to those on the other end of the line. Even when the water is not at full pressure, people on the other end of the line say they can barely hear anything I'm saying. In short, the increased sensitivity is actually a significant detriment to this new model. With regard to weight and general comfort, this model is just as good as the Jabra 250.
