My sister just got a new Bluetooth compatible phone (I forget what make and model) and the thing that caught my eye was this Motorola H500 wireless headset.
I have wanted to get this for a while now and now was my chance to try it before I buy it. I tested this headset with my new LG VX8100 (also Bluetooth capable). I myself use the Motorola HS850 headset so I could not wait to try this one out. I some how convinced my sister to let me use this for a week (I offered her to use mine for a week).
I checked online for the price and found that Motorola has it for about $70 dollars, but of course you can get a better deal at other online stores or eBay. My sister bought this from a wireless store somewhere; I do not know where (somewhere local though).
WHAT'S NEW? :
There is not much that is different in this new H500 model; there is the new compact design that makes it look sort of like the older HS820 model. Since Motorola made it smaller, the weight is less also. It is the same color at the HS850 but there is not boom to unfold to automatically connect; instead you press the multifunction button. I did notice that the sound quality is a little better and the volume is a bit louder than my HS850, but I really do not think it makes that much of a difference.
BLUETOOTH VERSIONS :
Even though Bluetooth technology has been around for a number of years, it has just recently gained popularity when wireless phones and laptops required wireless connectivity. Throughout these years many different versions of Bluetooth have been developed as newer technology evolved. So far the most popular versions are 1.1 and 1.2; the HS810 has version 1.1, the HS850 and H500 are compatible with 1.1 and 1.2.
