 Kind of bulky, confusing controls and sort of works with an iPhone December 26, 2007
Jeffrey Heaton (St. Louis, MO)

I bought this headset to use with my iPhone. If you have an iPhone, read the last part of this review. Overall its an okay headset. Hooked up to my computer and I can now listen to the computer wirelessly. It is a little confusing getting it into pair mode. There are two "M" (Motorola Logos) buttons, one on the left and one on the right. It can be confusing remembering which one you should hit. It does not do much to reduce background noise. I am happy enough with it for the devices that it works with.
If you have an iPhone, this is not the product for you. Really, this is designed to listen to music through. If you want to just take calls a smaller ear piece is better. The iPhone(as of 1.1) WILL NOT play music through this well.
There is a hack that will allow you to play music through it. If you go to voice mail and turn on the headphones, and return to the iPhone, then it will play MONO music through the iPhone. However, the iPhone will still play through its built in speaker. If you plug ear buds in, then it cuts off the wireless headsets.
I do not fault the headset for the iPhone issues. The iPhone is just NOT currently setup(as of 1.1) to play music through headsets. I hope this changes in the future.
 Nice for stereo, great for the phone December 18, 2007
Tim Mackay (West Allis)
The audio quality is the best of any phone headset that I've ever used, but don't sell your audiophile-quality wired headphones just yet. They work great with the phone (LG Fusic), or with the laptop, but seem to get confused if you try both at the same time. For example, receiving a phone call while listening to music from the laptop often ends in a lost call for me. But using MP3s on the phone, or just the laptop without the phone, they work just great. The battery life is longer than my ability to wear them.
They're reasonably comfortable, and they have seemed to get more comfortable with more frequent use. They're big and funny looking on your head. Not a fashion statement, not easily mistaken for earmuffs with a huge pulsing luminous blue M on each ear, just funny looking.
It is what I expected. October 9, 2007
A. Wilson (Santa Monica, CA USA)
It's not particularly comfortable for extended wear and the sound quality is not incredible, but this unit works fine and meets my needs. I am able to move around at my location and the Bluetooth connection (with the paired Motorola DC 800) keeps streaming audio; I haven't measured the maximum distance but such "roaming" connectivity is sometimes convenient.
the sound is a little low September 23, 2007

The sound is a little low; it should be higher. They are large but light at the same time.
 It Sucks! August 30, 2007

I bought this because of the inconvenience of wires connecting my earphones and cell phone. All the other recommendations you read here make this sound like a pretty good product, but I guess they're all written by Motorola employees.
These headphones suck -- completely. First of all, the volume level is great if you only stay indoors away from windows. As soon as you step outside -- even in areas not very noisey -- the volume is totally insufficient to hear your music with clarity.
Then there is the issue of comformt. These headphones, no matter how long you break them in, wear very uncomfortably on the backs of your ears and, in fact, cause severe discomfort. And because the ear cushions are of a plasticy material, they don't allow air circulation and the insides of your ears got steamy and sweaty.
Quality? Nope. If you lift your head more than about 10 degrees, the back band on the headphones rubs uncomfortably on the collar of your shirt or, if wearing a t-shirt, your neck. Worse, however, is that if you turn your head sideways more than 35 degrees the flexible plastic bank connecting the two actual ear speaker devices twists such that it shorts out the wires connecting the two speakers and you get disrupted music.
If you're a corpse and your head never moves and your ears feel no pain, these earphones would be perfect for you. Otherwise, they suck.
