TreoCentral's James Hromadka reviews the Motorola H700 bluetooth headset.

Read on for the full review.

Terminal year, I reviewed the Motorola HS850 Headset [Review|Buy] and loved its retractable boom mic that made information technology easy to turn the device on/off. The visitor has an updated headset called the H700. Is it a worthy update?

Features

Rarely will you observe the words "Bluetooth headset" and "fashionable" in the same judgement. After several years, at that place are still headsets on the market place that are a cross betwixt Robocop and a Borg from Star Trek. Not with the H700, which comes in two flavors: your typical dark gray headset and a fancy Dolce Gabbana Golden headset. Bling Bling!

The two are substantially the aforementioned, so I chose to review the DG one since in that location is a dearth of gold headsets in my expanding collection. The headset has shiny gold chrome on the front, and matte gold accents on the mic and ear residual. The "DG" logo is adjacent to the action push, which has an LED circling it. The LED flashes blue while in use and green when the headset is fully charged. Speaking of charging, the H700 came with four dissimilar electrical plug adapters, so this is a headset that's ready for international travel.

The box of the Dolce Gabbana H700 is shiny aureate also, and makes for an "Ooooh" feeling as you lot remove the headset and materials from it. I don't want to spoil the surprise, then I'm not going to include a photo of it in this review, but the amount of thought that went into the box's presentation is rivaled only by Apple and its products.

The volume controls are on the superlative and bottom of the headset. The earloop is hands removable in social club to switch the headset to fit either ear.

Usability

My favorite feature of the H700 is the folding boom microphone. Flip it open up to rapidly plow the device on, and when you're washed, flip it airtight. One of the problems I have with headsets is forgetting to turn them off (yes, even with the annoying lights). The H700 erases that event. I don't even know why it needs to take blinking lights at all when the device is in use. When folded, the H700 is small enough to toss in a handbag or pocket.

The earloop is fabricated of comfortable rubber - remove information technology and flip it around if you want to switch over to the left ear. The H700 headset is very light, and then it is easy to forget that you are wearing it. When doing the "shake head violently back and forth" exam, the H700 bounced against my caput simply never fell off.

I was impressed with the sound quality of the H700, particularly when I was exterior. Dissonance cancellation is sometimes one of those hit-or-miss features, but on the H700, when I was outside and talking to someone, they couldn't hear whatsoever of the groundwork street noises. Audio was clear and well-baked on both ends of the call.

I was very impressed with the Dolce Gabbana H700 Headset. Its clear audio and diminutive size make information technology a great headset for everyday use. If you know someone that has a DG RAZR phone, this headset volition complement information technology nicely. If you don't care nearly style or are more cost witting, the Gray H700 is an excellent, less pricey option.
