Great set, watch out for the fake ones out on web, and get one from real dealers, yea real is expensive, but pays for every dollar you spend.

Pros: Sounds quality.
Quickly connets.
Noise reduction feature.

Cons: Battery life.

I bought an H700 13 days ago for use with my Razr. It worked great for 2 days - I could hear well and callers could hear me. Flipped it open and received the voice command prompt. Then I started getting static at times. Other times I'd open the boom but it wasn't connected to my phone. I had to delete the device, turn my phone off and on, then reconnect and bond them. It has progressively gotten worse. It started disconnected in the middle of calls and now my phone doesn't even recognize it. It's a piece of junk in my opinion. I am taking it back and looking for something else that actually works without the repeated frustrations of the H700.

Pros: Worked great for TWO DAYS.

Cons: Does not work. Disconnects and is no longer recognizable by my phone. Major defect issue, IMO.

I had the HS 850 and it worked on my end reasonably well, my friends and family said it cut out on them. I sent it in for repair as the rubber grommet around the ear piece was tearing and they replaced it with the H 700. The 700 is smaller and has more features than the 850. Multi colored light reflects low battery, pairing, full charge, on phone and active. No rubber grommet on this one, lighter and feels better on the ear.

Pros: Multi colored light, Light weight, easy pairing, looks good, and smaller than previous models. Boom on and off is a nice feature also.

Cons: None yet, but I will come back later and update.

I'm paired with the Samsung a920 and yes there is a bit of ambient noise but they all have this same type of audio quality. Great product

Pros: Light weight
No bothersome ear plug
Long talk time.
Flip mic for on and off
Visual light change to indicate function.

Cons: No lighter adaptor

I pair this H700 to my Cingular/AT&T Razor V3. The static is constant. I can't even use it anymore. I've had it replaced and like others have said, it never gets better. Previously, I was using the HS850 and I have the same problem that is why I bought the H700. I am very surprised that Motorola has put out such a poor product. In theory and on paper, it is great. But, my family and friends hate to talk on the phone to me because of the horrible static. I am very disappointed and feel that I am out $$$$$. I am waiting on another replacement from Motorola, but it will probably be the same.

Pros: Small, lightweigtht, easy to use, long battery life.

Cons: STATIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!, low volume and STATIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love everything about the H700! Watch out for the "fakes" out there on ebay. If it sounds too good to be true...it is! If you get the H700 at a dealer you know your are getting the "real" thing.

Pros: Small, lightweight, fold mic. Nice fit. on my ear. Uses the same battery charger as my Motorola phone.

Cons: None!

Works great. I guess I got a winner. Love the fold down mic so I know when it's on & saves the battery.Fits perfect on my ear. The mic doesn't touch my face at all. If you pay $29.00 on eBay it is probably a "fake". You get what you pay for.Go to a reliable store with a good return policy. You will be glad you did. Go ahead get this H700. You'll be glad you did!

Pros: Lightweight, fold down mic to save battery life. Uses the same battery as my Motorola 325i phone.

Cons: Sometime when I'm on the freeway the caller on the other end says my words break up at times.
