Product summary
The good: The Motorola H500 has a sleek, streamlined design and an ergonomic ear hook, and it feels comfortable against the ear. It also comes with four different color options.
The bad: The Motorola H500 is a bit bulky for our tastes, and the volume buttons are small.
The bottom line: While the size isn't to our liking, the Motorola H500's streamlined and ergonomic design makes it an appealing Bluetooth headset. With decent sound quality to boot, the Motorola H500 makes for a satisfactory product.

- Reviewed on: 02/28/2006
A welcome improvement upon the Motorola H500 is its new ergonomic ear hook, complete with a rubberized back housing designed to fit around the ear. The ear hook is adjustable for additional comfort and can be worn on either ear. As for the earpiece, it's more like a speaker that just rests against the ear. This makes it a lot easier to put on and take off, unlike with headsets that have in-ear buds.
The Motorola H500's controls are another departure from the HS820's, as they are noticeably smaller and take up less room. The multifunction button is in the middle of the headset, while the volume controls are on either side. As named, the multifunction button turns the headset on and off, as well as answers and ends calls, and when it's held down, it doubles as a pairing button. All buttons are easy enough to press, though they're a little too flush to the surface for our tastes, and the volume controls may be too small for larger fingers. On the top of the H500 is the charger port, while the Motorola logo on its surface doubles as a light indicator.
