Customer Review: No frills but adequate at this price point
The only thing that I can add to the the reviews already posted on this device is my own experiences - we ordered 2 of the 'bulk packaged' bundles which include the headset and the charger. Positives: - No earbud going into the ear - this is a BIG positive because I can't stand those and, apparently they are not good for you. - Quick charging. - Easy to pair - in my case with a Razr and a Blackberry. - Easy to turn on/off, by simply folding/unfolding the microphone boom. - Pretty good instructions. Negatives: - My wife complains that the sound quality is not always perfect. - Being as small as it is, perhaps some carrying pouch should have been included. At this time, my wife decided to keep hers but she will give the second one to her girlfriend as a birthday present :)
Customer Review: Very Poor Quality
I got this H700 Dec 08 through an Amazon Re-seller shop4cell. The product shipped quickly and I received it quickly. No complaints about Amazon. The product came in a plastic sealed retail package that did not bear any Motorola insignia. The only way to tell it was a Motorola was that little 'M' on the headset. While researching on the web, I found that there are 'fakes' going around. While I don't know if the product I received from shop4cell was real or not, I would strongly recommend that you pay the few extra bucks and buy it from a physical retail store. Make sure the packaging says 'Motorola'. The product felt extremely flimsy. I had the same problem that so many had reported on the internet - after the headset was fully charged, and when I pressed the button, all I got was a 'lavender' light - not purple, as mentioned in the manual. The moment I extended the boom, the light would vanish. I thought it was some timing issue with my (motorola) cell phone. After many frustrating hours, I figured out that there was some loose contact in the hinge between the boom and the main body when the boom was extended 180 degrees (the usual talk position). When I extended the boom ninety degrees, the lavender light stayed on long enough to pair. I was able to receive calls - but the loose contact made it unusable. I finally called Motorola support who were helpful and immediately sent me a RMA # and free return fedex label. In about2 weeks I got a H710 by fedex, that feels a lot more solid. The pairing process is also easier and the voice clarity is amazing. Bottom line - be careful buying this online through unknown e-retailers. They are either selling refurbished or B-bin (with no indication of this on their website) or downright fake units.
