I have owned an H700 revision B that was always difficult to pair with my Motorola RIZR phone, and I was never really happy with it overall. It was always flaky and finally died, so I took it apart to see if I could repair it, it's dead. It has a Broadcom Bluetooth chipset. My brother has the same model Revision C that still works and has been a much better unit overall. I bought both units from different vendors about a month apart, about three years ago at holiday time.

When I looked hard at the various new models I could find very few that sit against the ear, which is what I like. I strongly dislike the kind that fit in the ear canal. I decided that I would try Motorola again but I was really looking at other brands. Motorola has done a fantastic job with this new H720. I have owned it for about a month now and I really like it. It pairs very easily, fits well around the ear and the sound quality is much better. Overall I am very pleased with the new H720.

Buyers should take notice that the new H720 wall charger comes in MICRO USB and they may need or want to purchase new car chargers or MICRO/MINI adapters that convert to MINI USB. All my past Motorola gear (except new H720) has the MINI USB plug.

This is the BEST bluetooth I have ever owned.

I had the H710 before this, but my car was broken into and it was stolen. I immediately purchased the newest model of the same Motorola series - this H720 - and am thrilled with it.

First of all, this bluetooth does NOT stick INSIDE your ear. I can't stand the bluetooths that do that. This unit has nothing to stick inside your ear. It is flat and lays flat against your ear. It is also loud and clear so you don't have to worry that you're giving up on sound. As a matter of fact, sometimes it's too loud and you can lower the volume easily. The sound is nice and clear, and there is no lag time - you don't miss the first few seconds of the conversation - it picks up immediately.

The other thing that I really like about this unit is the flip open design for turning it on or off. You flip it open to turn it on, and flip it closed to turn it off. Simple. No guesswork involved. I love the simplicity of it.

This bluetooth has a GREAT battery life, both for talktime and standby.

Another improvement that I really like for this bluetooth over the H710 was that they changed that big round light ring, and replaced it with a small dot light. This way I don't walk around looking like I'm a plugged in robot (as I am WEARING this and the H710 would blink as I walked around!). On the H720 there's a little mini dot light which is enough for me to see if the unit is on or off, and is enough for me to see if it's red (which means that it needs to be recharged). Great design improvement! I can look like a human and not like a blinking android.

And another nice feature is that it sounds a tone when the bluetooth battery is running low and needs to be recharged.

Once you use this bluetooth, you wont want to go back to any of the others on the market. I'm spoiled now and can't imagine ever go back to using the others out there. This one is a keeper!

Had the H715 and loved it but unfortunately it died. Purchased the H720 and it's ok but I have almost daily problems getting it to connect. I also do not understand why they replaced the nice big indicator light that the H715 had with the teeny tiny pinhole light on the H720. If you're having any problems and are trying to read the lights while going down the road, you're going to have a wreck because you cannot just glance at it like you could the H715. And if the sun is bright, you can just forget being able to see it at all! Other than that, sound quality is great, comfort is excellent, talk time and standby time are exceptional.

I can not stand having 'in the ear' bluetooth's. This product fits over the ear and provides great sound quality both to the caller and to me from the caller.

This bluetooth headset stands out from the rest because it's very comfortable! It comes pre-configured for your right ear, but you can change that to your left ear if you prefer. It paired easily with my iPhone, my Blackberry, and even my Play Station 3. The battery life is very good. However, I tend to charge this every night.

The unit lights up with a blue light when it's in pairing mode and a red light when it's out of battery. You can click and hold the top and bottom buttons to mute the phone, and you can also turn up/down the volume that way.

The thing that I like best about this headset is that I can push and hold the call button one time and Siri on my iPhone responds! It makes it very easy to interact with my iPhone without holding the phone.

I highly recommend this bluetooth headset!

I've owned Motorola headsets for years--H860, H700, H710, H715, and now the H720. My best one was the H700, but after 5 years, the battery no longer holds a charge longer than 3 years. I've had problems with the H710 and H715 stop working just after the warranty ends. The H720 seems to be just fine--using it with an Motorola V3XX phone. No one complains about my voice quality, I was driving my old jeep with the top off and answered a call, and all the caller heard was a slight wind noise over my voice. Talk about hands free in an exteme environment!

I have had two H710's, one H715, and now this H720.

I really love this Motorola design. The H720 is the best of the bunch. With all units, the the sound quality starts out excellent and degrades after about a year to a year and a half of use. If your sound quality is not up to par, your headset may be beyond its useful lifespan. Based on my experience, during this useful (12-18 months) lifetime, all these Motorola's have excellent sound quality both incoming and outgoing.

The H720 edges out my previous H715 in one key way. When answering a call using the H715, there was a lag time between when the call was answered and when the H715 would wake up and connect to the phone. This made for a short delay in which callers would wonder if anyone was there (hello?). They would also miss hearing my first words. With the H720, this delay is gone. Tap the answer button and you are live. Great!

I keep coming back to this style of Motorola over-the-ear flip-open-to-turn-on because, for me, it is way more comfortable than are the kind that stick inside my ear. Personally, I don't like things inside my ear--they make me queasy. This one, like its predecessors is easy to turn on/off and easy to put on and take off. It is comfortable to wear for hours at a time.

Device is so light and compact that you can hardly tell it is on your ear. Audio is very very good.

I never thought that I would buy a bluetooth. I always thought that people who walked around with a bluetooth in their ear looked crazy. No offense. I decided I'd be Bluetooth free until one day I almost rear-ended someone trying to switch my phone to speaker while having a conversation. That was the wake-up call I needed.

It was super easy to connect the Motorola H720 Bluetooth to my Droid 2. The sound is crisp. I have no problems hearing the person I talking to and they have no problems hearing me. There's a volume control on the side of the bluetooth that's a little difficult to adjust. On accident, I discovered I could control the ear volume using my phone which is what I now do.

The button in the middle is to answer and hang-up. With just one touch I can answer a call. No fiddling around trying to find the button. It's the perfect size and doesn't require a heavy hand to activate it.

The battery life is phenomenal. I've only charged it once since I bought it. Granted, I don't talk on the phone a lot and I only charged it because I was getting paranoid that the battery was going to die on me even though there was no indication that it was.

The earpiece is comfortable. It's very light and sometimes I forget that I'm wearing it. My only complaint is that it's kind of big for my ear (I guess I have small ears) so instead of sitting snug against my head, it kinda dangles a little.

Thanks to this great earpiece, I've been converted.

I've only had this headset for about 1 week but I'm returning it in exchange for the H721 model since I can't pair this with 2 phones. It's partially my fault for not reading the specs carefully but I'd like to bring this to your attention if this is a big deal to you. It's disappointing when manufacturers take out features that exist in a lower model. I had the H710 before and I could pair it with 2 phones, so I just thought this newer model would have that feature as well. The H710, though working beautifully for me for about 8 months, died prematurely. Hence I'm hesitant in going back to that model.
As far as this H720 goes, so far the sound quality seems great and all of its other features seem to work properly as advertised.
