Motorola H790 Bluetooth Headset

Pros: Excellent call quality, lightweight, slim design, simple to use, easy to pair

Cons: Ear piece may not fit everyone well, even with several to choose from

Summary: After a few months with my H790 I would recommend it to anyone in need of a new Bluetooth headset. The call quality is very good on both ends without relying on overly expensive technology found in other headsets. I have it paired with my Motorola Droid and have no problem hearing the person on the other end of the line. I haven't heard complaints from the other end of the line, either. With my last headset it was evident I was using a headset in my car, but the same hasn't been true of the H790.

The slim and light design is very easy to live with, but it took me a while to find an earpiece I liked. I've found that the volume and call buttons are easy to use, and I really like having a power switch, rather than using the call button to turn the headset on and off.

It was very easy to pair this headset with my Droid and my laptop, and I haven't had to reset the pairing since the initial pairing.

The H790 can be used on either ear but it was really set up for use on the right ear due to the placement of the power switch and volume buttons.

I can't say how well voice controls work through this headset but I'll post an update after I install Android 2.2 on my phone.

Overall the Motorola H790 is a solid headset with a simple design and great call quality, especially at a price of $50 or less.

*Update
Voice dialing through the H790 is easy to use and has been as accurate as using the voice dial on my phone without a headset.

I usually get several hours of talk time out of a charge but I really only use it while I'm driving, so battery life hasn't really been an issue for me. I plug it into my car to charge every few weeks and I'm set.
