The good: The Motorola H700 has a small and stylish form factor, a foldable boom mic that turns the headset on and off, and solid call quality. Plus, it feels comfortable against the ear.
The bad: The Motorola H700's buttons may be a bit small for large fingers.
The bottom line: The Motorola H700 wins plenty of points with its design; not only does it have a small form factor and sleek color scheme, but it also has a foldable boom mic that turns the headset on and off. Ergonomic comfort and great sound quality make this an exceptional Bluetooth headset.
Arguably the best feature on the Motorola H700 is its PowerFlip foldable microphone. As with the HS850, folding the boom mic out turns on the headset, while folding it back in turns it off. This makes it incredibly easy to answer and end calls; you just flip it down to answer and flip it up to end. The reversible ergonomic ear hook has a rubberized back designed to cradle the ear, making for a very comfortable fit. Also, because the earpiece rests against the ear instead of inside it, you'll hardly realize you're wearing it.
There are three buttons on the Motorola H700: the large multifunction button is in the middle, and there's a volume control on each side. The multifunction button starts and ends calls, doubles as a pairing button, and glows blue when it is turned on. The buttons are all easy to press, although the volume controls may seem a bit small for larger hands. On top of the H700 is the charger port.

"An otherwise OUTSTANDING design marred by a MAJOR flaw" By goonta
Pros good looks, light weight, comfort, compact design, flip-to-connect feature
Cons idiotic mic positioning muffles your voice for the person on the other end
Summary Only days after misplacing my last Motorola BT headset, the HS850, I missed it so much that I almost went right out to buy a new one -- that is until I heard about the impending release of the new H700. All signs indicated that this new version of the ... Expand full review
