Fair product, bad pairing instructions, November 24, 2006
The BT150 seems fair enough as a headset: comfortable, good audio signals for on and off, and no echo my callees have noticed. It loses pairing with my cell (a Treo 700P) frequently. That's a problem. So are the incomplete instructions from Jabra for entering pairing mode. They've stymied two Verizon technicians...but one had the secret:
* press power (and keep on holding...)
* at first blink, press and hold + (while still holding power)
* when solid blue, release all buttons
* pair to phone

Comfortable & Flexible Fit, Great Connectivity, Good Noise Rejection, February 7, 2007
After getting tired of constantly fighting my Motorola H500 Bluetooth Headset, I purchased a Jabra BT150 Bluetooth Headset to replace it and could not be more pleased! Unlike the inflexible Motorola H500, the Jabra BT150 is extremely flexible so that it can be positioned quite comfortably & snuggly against the ear. When I would wear the Motorola H500, my ear would begin to ache after about 30 minutes to an hour of continuous wear, but that is not the case with the Jabra BT150.
Another ongoing problem that I regularly experienced with the Motorola H500 was high noise susceptibility, but the Jabra BT150 is the opposite: it has great noise rejection. People that I'm talking to have no problem hearing what I have to say and I have little difficulty hearing them, unless I'm in a very noisy place to begin with.
The most annoying & regularly occurring problem with the Motorola H500 was its frequent loss of connection with my Motorola Razr cell phone even though the phone was typically no more than 2 to 3 feet away: well within the bounds of H500's signal range. To date, the Jabra BT150 has not lost its connection with the Motorola Razr and the signal quality is actually much better than the Motorola H500.
So, if you're thinking about getting a Bluetooth headset for use with the your cell phone or some other Bluetooth-capable device, I highly recommend that you consider purchasing a Jabra BT150 Bluetooth Headset, which I rate with 5 out of 5 stars. If you're going to get a Motorola Bluetooth headset, don't get the H500.

Good entry-level Bluetooth headset, February 25, 2007
I use this headset with a Samsung a930 phone from Verizon, and I think it is a good value for the money (I got one for $25, which is comparable to a decent wired headset). This is my first Bluetooth device, so I can't compare it with some of the $75-100 noise-cancelling headsets. However, for an economical Bluetooth headset, it works well.
If the volume is turned up too high on the headset, the person on the other end complains of an echo. Also, used in a noisy enviroment, it would probably be a bit problematic to hear and be heard. However, I found that if I turn up the volume on my phone AND my headset to moderate levels, I can usually hear the other person (and vice versa) without an echo.
One quirk of this headset (maybe others too) is that turning it on and off requires holding the button for ~5 seconds. If your finger slips off of the button, it can end up activating voice dial or even dialing the last number that called. However, that is a minor annoyance on what has otherwise been a satisfactory purchase.
