From the different color options on the H500 to the unique flip boom mic on the H700, Motorola is no stranger to eye-catching Bluetooth headset designs. Yet it's quite possible that the Motorola Razr H3 Bluetooth Headset is the most fashion-forward headset to date. Undeniably styled after the Motorola Razr V3, the headset's sleek and rectangular design makes it look like a tiny Razr offspring. Along with a comfortable earpiece and an ergonomic ear hook, the headset would complement not just a Razr but any Bluetooth-enabled cell phone. The Razr H3 comes in both black and silver, and it retails for $80, but you can get it for $68 after online discounts.
The face of the headset looks a lot like the front flap of the Razr V3, with a sleek, uncluttered surface save for the lone Motorola logo in the middle. Despite its namesake, the Razr H3 isn't the smallest headset we've seen (even the H700 is smaller). At 2.4 by 1.0 by 0.6 inches, it's a hair thicker than the 0.5-inch Razr, but it isn't bulky either, thanks to its slim form factor and its lightweight 0.6-ounce mass. A blue LED on the front of the device lights up when the headset is turned on, though this can be disabled. Much like the H500 and the H700, the Razr H3 has an ergonomic ear hook on the back of the headset. It sports a rubberized tip and attaches via a flexible hinge for easier fitting, plus it can be configured to fit on either ear.
Moving to the controls, the face of the headset bears a large multifunction button that turns the device on and off, as well as answers and ends calls. On either side of the headset are two tiny volume controls; if you wish, you can swap their orientation, changing the volume-up control to volume down, and vice versa. While the multifunction button is easy enough to press, the volume controls prove too skinny and small to press without some difficulty, especially if you have large fingers. On the top of the device is the charger port.
