Motorola E815 / E816 Hollywood

i have the jabra 250V & i love it!

when does the moto H500 come out anyways?

does your headset work well with wind or in the car? Also do any of the headsets have ring tones? It would be nice if I knew my phone was ringing.

I bought the Tekkeon ezTalker ET2000. I haven't used it much yet nor do I have a comparison.

My Jabra 250 picks up wind noise in even the slightest breeze. Unable to use it outside at all.

A regular corded headset works the BEST! Plus, it is a lot cheaper and you don't have to have that BIG junk hanging out of your ear which looks ridiculous! 🤣

With the corded heatset, outside noise is reduced and I have never had an echo problem! 🙂

Yeah, a corded one is better, but the whole point of having Bluetooth is to use a wireless headset!!!!!!!!

But why use a Bluetooth one when they cost an arm and leg, don't work as well, have echos, wind noise, and makes you really look stupid with that big thing hanging out of your ear? 🙄

Because you bought a Bluetooth phone to have the convenience of not being connectd with wires, or have wires hanging out of your ear (that looks worse, IMO), and if you get a good BT headset you don't have all the echos, wind noise and such!!!!!!!!

then why are you posting in the E815 forum where the only reason or the biggest reason for getting the E815 is for the bluetooth! You can get a non-bluetooth phone and use your wired headset. Oh got an idea if you got your E815 for free then spend $40 bucks on a bluetooth headset from ebay or even Amazon. If not get the Vx8000 or other non-bluetooth phone.

So does anyone know when the H500 is going to come out, and if so, what is the difference between it and the other bluetooth headsets currently being offered on the motorola web sites.
Thanks

Here is an unbiased quick review that I hope helps anyone looking.

Scala 500: Garbage, light small and comfortable but pure unadalterated junk in terms of sound quality. Any thinking we got a bad one sorry, we tried 3 with 2 different phones, all identically poor and even worse customer care.

Jabra BT800: Poor fit and delayed input of buttons. Poor tactile feeling of the answer button. Felt like I was crushing the headset simply squeezing the answer button. Lots of broken up static. Not loud. Nice USB charging feature.

Jabra 250: Ok, but sucks in the faintest of wind. Can't even walk with it indoors because it creates too much wind over the microphone.
Weird cumbersome charger.

Moto HS850: Please. Not wasting my time.

Moto HS...
