I bought this headset along with a complimentary car charger from the Costco over the holidays for $50. Price-wise, that was about as high as I was looking to. This being my first bluetooth device, I was concerned about lack of crystal clear sound and constantly dropping calls.

Pros:
- Ease of use. Click the dial to call the last person you dialed. Click again to end the call. Click the dial to answer calls on your cellphone.
- Ease of setup. Between 5-10 seconds for my phone to find the bluetooth. A little longer if you're responding to a call.
- The headset has a multi-color indicator that goes from red --> yellow-->green when its fully charged. That in itself is eye candy.
- indicator lights blue when it has charge-- however, fails to indicate how much charge is remaining. The indicator lights up either red or blue. Hopefully you don't find out during an important phone call.
- The device looks great and feels great. Very light and comfortable to wear for extended period of time. I wore the device around my right ear for most of a 7 hour drive from San Diego to San Jose without any complaints.
- no dropped calls.

Cons:
- The sound isn't as clear as it could be. I think this is very noticeable especially when you're driving, you have fits telling the other end to 'say that again.' Also, I wouldn't recommend going outside a 5-foot radius from your phone as there appears to be some pronounced noise.
- Noise-canceling feature seems to be more of a marketing gimmick.
- battery life could be better. After about 3 hours of usage on a recent trip, I stowed the headset away and turned the headset off by moving the boom to the closed position. Two days later I went to use it and the entire battery was drained. Remember that the lithium ion battery is non-replaceable.
- It does take awhile to fully charge. About 1 1/2 hours seems a bit much for such a small device.

Overall, I'm pretty happy about the size, weight, and comfortability of the device. The sound could be clearer --It's noticeable, but not a significant issue that should dissuade anyone from using this headset effectively.

Highly Recommended (just)

I jumped on this headset because I'd read so many good reviews from many different sources, the voice quality is good, the headset fits well and is very light, quick to connect.. but I didn't properly review the other Motorola models.
Turns out that the only difference between this model H715 and the previous model H710 is the color.
If color doesn't mean anything to you, like it doesn't to me, look for the H710. I waited all of 30 minutes to go back and cancel my order, after I'd found out, but I was too late... they'd already started packing it for shipment. I shipped it back 3 days later.

Bottom Line: It doesn't hurt to look at previous models to see what upgrades you're getting and where the technology is being implemented by the manufacturer.
If you buy this H715, you're paying almost 20% more for the same device (H710), only a different color.

This review is from: Motorola H715 Bluetooth Headset (Wireless Phone Accessory)

I bought one of these to replace a plantronics. I was going to buy a Jawbone 2 or a BlueAnt but both of these were "in ear" devices and I was tired of the "squishy" feeling I got after repeatably putting a thing in my ear. So I went looking for an on-ear headset. This one works great

Pros:
It connects very quickly w/ my Blackberry upon opening
Sound is good, loud and volume easy to control
The flip to-open-and-turn-on is great - no more messing with a single button hoping it turns on.
Also, i can answer the phone, flip the 715 open with one hand and it connects quickly so I don't have to drive w/ a mobile to my ear and risk a ticket.

Cons:
Its the only device I have w/ a micro USB connector so I have yet another charger!

For those who want an on- ear headset this is great and a good price. So far battery life is fine. I keep a charger in my car and one on the counter so I can keep the charge up all the time.
