Summary
I believe the performance of the headset is directly related to the phone in which it is paired. I replaced my BT250v with the BT500. Jabra headsets tend to fit my ear very well, and do not make my ear hurt after wearing for hours. I use the headset...
Strength
Comfortable and discreet
Weakness
Volume controls are are a little difficult to find and use.
I have this Jabra BT500 and a Motorola H700 headset and I greatly prefer the Jabra. I have large ears and the Jabra's around the ear design works perfectly for me. The sound quality is excellent both in listening and in speaking. The unit has a dedicated...
Strength
Excellent sound comfortable for people with large ears, dedicated paring, excellent battery life
Weakness
Large by today's standards
Bottom Line
Excellent sound quality, ease of use, excellent battery life, and the fact that it can be used under at hat or bicycle helmet more than compensates for it's size.
I never wanted to be one of those Trekkie-looking people with the Bluetooth headset attached to my ear jabbering on the phone. Then I ended up with a Blackberry, which is a great e-mail device and a fairly cumbersome telephone. So it made sense then...
I bought the Jabra largely because of the eargel which actually fits into the ear canal. This was important to me because I could not hear my callers when I used wireless headsets such as the Moto H500 which sit on top of the ear. I purchased the...
Strength
Light weight, good fit, excellent volume
Weakness
Perspiration and humid conditions disable it.
Bottom Line
Excellent headset in dry conditions, avoid it if you tend to perspire.
I am disappointed in the performance of what should be the improved successor to BT250v that after only a month of use I am looking at replacements. The comfort & secure fit of this style appeals to me so I upgraded when BT250 stopped charging fully...
The above reviewer is dead wrong. I have been a very happy BT250 user and have recommended that unit to lots of people. Everyone is thrilled with the BT250's performance. I needed to replace my 250 so I went the next step and bought this unit. BIG...
I like the headset, but Jabra needs to do something about the quality control. I have had two of these headsets breakdown on me within 7 months. The first one no longer accepted a charge after 4 months. Jabra replaced it under warranty, but the second...
Strength
Light weight, nice fit and can be worn comfortably for long periods.
Got a very prompt replacement for my DOA BT500 from Newegg. However, the replacement suffered the same fate. Plugged in the charger & no response. No charge indicator light, red or green. Left it plugged in several hours anyway, and it still would...
I bought my unit approx 2 months ago. It is comfortable and the sound is clear. I have had no problems with people complaining about noise while on the highway or outside. No echo complaints either. My complaint, and it is huge, is that it has quit...
Strength
Good quality sound on both ends, snug to face, comfortable
Weakness
Not loud enough for me when on highway.
Problematic, Customer service
I've owned this BT500 Headset for almost a year and it has been great. I use it with my Razr 3XX phone. It has a good range, clear sound, and is comfortable. It comes with a couple of mini gels so you can adjust it for comfort and if you need a louder...
Strength
Plays the music player songs, comfortable, comes with all accessories.
