Motorola H700 Bluetooth headset review (Silver)

With cell phones such as the Motorola Razr and the Slvr, Motorola is all about making things smaller. And now the same is true with one of its newest Bluetooth headsets, the Motorola H700. Although its basic design is very similar to the Motorola HS850's, the H700 is almost 30 percent smaller. At 1.69 (2.51 when the microphone boom is open) by 1.06 by 0.66 inches and weighing an incredibly lightweight 0.2 ounce, the H700 is shaped in an adorable pebblelike form factor that won't take up much room in your pocket. Its gray and silver color scheme is also pleasing to the eyes. While its $100 price tag seems pretty affordable already, you can easily get it for $80, thanks to discounts online.

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.
