The headset's version of CrystalTalk technology--previously only found in select Motorola handsets--is always on to enhance the audio experience without any sort of user intervention. The MOTOPURE H15 uses dual microphones to separate your voice from background and wind noise, enhancing the your voice, and channeling clear, natural sounding audio to the caller.

The MOTOPURE H12 also assures extended wear comfort thanks to its TrueComfort ear bud design. The design is driven by Motorola's extensive ergonomic measurement study of the human ear, with research that included two years of digital assessments that spanned age, sex and race.

5.0 out of 5 stars Watch Out Jawbone, October 24, 2008

By 

Jones (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Motorola H15 Noise Canceling Bluetooth Wireless Headset (Wireless Phone Accessory)

Don't you get a little tired of every bluetooth headset being compared to Aliph? I suppose there is a reason for that so I will get this part out of the way. Jawbone 1 was a brick on my head and no way to carry it either. Jawbone II has about 3 hr talk time and has fitment issues (just about any piece does but there is usually a work around). Anyways, they are both top shelf noise killers as long as that little thingie touches your face.

With all that said the H15 has the most amazing noise killing ability I have ever used and that would be quite a list of maybe 25 headsets or so over 4 years. My wife could not hear my radar detector (it's pretty loud, it will scare you) or door chimes or seatbelt warning (ooops) and I don't think any unit ever passed that test clean. But here is the real killer...wind...outdoors...only tested light wind so far but that would be enough to kill others. I don't test by cranking a 1000 watt stereo or putting my face in front of a chainsaw running wide open, let the lab boys at Moto do that stuff...I just use it real world and try to evaluate it. Moto has this one dialed in.

Fitment and alignment is very important for proper volume and noise cancel features. It's designed that way...It's not a ear ring, not supposed to just hang there. there are at least 10 combinations provided by Moto for fitment so play with it. I chose no ear loop using the alternate type ear bud that looks like they have 1/2 a o-ring behind them. Might not stay on my head in a boxing match but not too bad. This same solution worked for my wife too (yeah, had to buy her one). Stick it in your ear! lol Mine stays there and comfort is decent. It's recovery charge is fast and is mini-USB so it can charge off USB port from laptop or phone charger in your car, whatever

Tip: After I achieved fitment I could hear a very very slight hiss at max volume...1 click off that it went away. PLEASE don't read into this it has a hiss issue, I have to be in total library silence and listen for it. Since I am somewhat deaf I assume others will hear this after they get it fitted correctly. I have found I can use it at quite a bit less volume than other headsets because it is so clear. My truck has Flowmasters on it and I drive 80 on the highway and still don't need max on all calls...play with it.

Tip: You can always get a custom ear gel. Many people have done this with Jawbone II with excellent results but that does not solve the short battery life issue. This unit might be worth it if you can't get it to fit...do try losing the earhook...mine fit better with out it and so did my wife's The earhook seemed to keep pulling it out of my ear and killed the volume performance. Use the optional ear gels it comes with for this.

Tip: Just for the record I have used the H15 with 3 phones so far, Moto Q9H Global upgraded to WM 6.1 Standard. Moto Z9. Moto V3xx. AT&T GSM Network. Works perfect with all.

Close: Your mileage may vary just like opinions. I trust my opinion because it's scientific not emotional. I've seen folks run motorcycles into trees and say motorcycles are dangerous, but I suppose you could say trees are dangerous too. I think that's what happens in some of these reviews. So which is it? The motorcycle or the tree at fault? Or is it *maybe* the rider? H15 seems to be working fine after 1 week for 2 people here on my planet. Oh, and it's way better than the H12 if you have one of those. Also one final note, the flip boom is great, it seems to grab the call as soon as I open it, but it takes a second before you can talk...plays a little tone so you know. Haven't lost a call to voice mail yet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Motorola H15, November 21, 2008

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Motorola H15 Noise Canceling Bluetooth Wireless Headset (Wireless Phone Accessory)

Lets start by saying I've purchased approx. 10 bluetooth in about a 2 year period. This Motorola H15 is the best bluetooth I've ever had PERIOD. People can actually hear me and understand me when they CAN hear me. I've never used the Jawbone, but the noice canceling feature on this headset is amazing. Everyone I've talk to since I've purchased the headset said they hear nothing in the back ground. I come through crystal clear. It also fits perfectly in my ear, its small, lightweight and I really forget I have it in my ear. I could type all day about this item, i say that cause u dont know my frustration with headset, I'm constantly on the phone and it's so frustrating when people on the other end can't hear you or understand you. I recommend this product and would give it 10 stars if I could.

One more thing, I've read other reviews and the volume issue that other people have spoke of, I've haven't notice that at all. The headset come with optional ear gels so u have to find the one that fits you. I used this headset with the Iphone and it paired quickly and easy.

3.0 out of 5 stars Comfortable But Diffucult To Hear/Low Volume At Maximum, October 22, 2008

By 

Jonathon "Jonathon" (California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Motorola H15 Noise Canceling Bluetooth Wireless Headset (Wireless Phone Accessory)

I love the fit of the H15 by Motorola. The mic boom lowers and operates as a ON/OFF switch as well for total ease.

Great fit with the ear loop and excellent selection of various included ear buds.

Yet where this fails is the maximum for volume means you MUST push the unit into your ear canal for your ability to hear the other party. This applied to all calls and all ear buds. The H15 simply has sub-standard volume even at maximum.

Those I was talking with said they heard little noise while I was in the car or even knew I was using a Bluetooth. That's a positive.

I had to always use one hand to push the H15 into my ear to be able to hear and one hand on the wheel of the car so it defeated the purpose of a hands-free device altogether.

Not a good choice for $129.
