4.0 out of 5 stars Great little receiver, October 12, 2002

I've been an electronic hobbyist since 1962, and an amateur radio operator (K8WV) since '63. I have a hard time believing I own the same radio I see reviewed in some of the reviews here. This is a solid and sensitive receiver, with good selectivity.

It is relatively large, compaired to the V60, but relates well size-wise to the V120. The receiver and volume control are in a housing in the cable between the phone and the earbuds. It has a clip on the back to secure the housing to a shirt/blouse. The cables are relatively long, but that allows them to be routed around your body and/or under your clothes - nice when doing yard work, walking for exercise, or bike riding. The telephone microphone is in a smaller housing near one of the earbuds, and is housed with a pushbutton phone answer button. Useful if your phone is in a pocket or "fanny pack" and you don't use "auto answer." The integration of the operation of the radio with the phone is seamless.

I live in a small city with 3-4 local FM stations. I have no trouble receiving them. Two of the stations are on very close frequencies. This receiver has no trouble separating them. I can also receive several stations from neighboring towns. This radio works at least as well as any other small receiver I've used.

This radio will not satisfy everyone, and the list price is a bit high. But it works well, and is flexible in use. I recommend it. Shop for price.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not that great but it has it's uses, September 3, 2002

I'm using a Motorala V60i with Verizon-wireless service so your experiences may vary.

When I first bought this FM Stereo headset, I was hoping I could use it for listening to my favorite stations at work or during boring college lectures.

I am very disapointed; I get nothing but static on this thing everywhere except when I'm in a open field. This thing is very sensitive to movement, which means using this while jogging is not a good idea, except if you want a really big headache from listening to static most of the time.

This thing doesn't work well in most situations. If your planning on buying this thing to use in an office, in a moving car, in a classroom, while jogging, or pretty much in any situation. Don't waste your money. Instead buy a seperate mini AM/FM stearo headset which would work much better.

However; the ear-piece and mic are outstanding. Crisp and clear calls when I'm using the headset. Then again I have only used Motorala headsets so my range of expertise is not all that wide.

This thing is also pretty bulky and the wires get tangled faster than you can untangle them.

The only two uses I found for this FM stereo headset are:
1. listening to my fav radio stations while walking. Which has very little static, if I restrain from moving too much.
2. Using this thing to drain the battery before recharging. Bought a new battery and Motorala batteries work best if you have full charge/discharge cycles for the first 3-5 charges.

Even though the ear-piece and mic are outstanding, I can't stand the bulkyness of this thing. I use my plain and simple Motorala headset for all my hand-free wireless needs.

If a Motorala Rep is reading this, all I have to say is put more into this thing to make it a great product. Put a stronger antenna and find someway to make it less cumbersome.

Hope this review helps in your decisions.
Thanks,
Edrisk

I am VERY disappointed with this product. I bought the
FM adapter to use while working out at the gym. The ear pieces are so uncomfortable and won't stay in my ears. The sound is fabulous when you get reception. Forget about using it in the car unless you like static. It is a great concept, but one that should have been researched better berfore being released.
