I own and have sitting in a box somewhere a Samsung WEP 500, Aliph JawBone, Plantronics Voyager 510, Plantronics Discovery 665, Jabra BT500, the older Motorola HS850, and some Sony Ericsson model that I don't even remember. Crazy, I know. Also I have tried the Apple bluetooth headset (I have an iPhone), the Motorola H9 mini bluetooth, the Motorola slider H800, and the latest MOTOPURE H12 from Motorola. All of these have fit and/or form and/or feature and/or function issues that drive me nuts. The only one I ever use, and my favorite by far, is this Motorola H710 !!
Ever been frustrated because the volume of your headset was too low on even the highest setting, so you had to shove it deeper into your ear (defeats the purpose of 'hands free', I know) ?? Not with this sucker. This is the first headset that is actually *too loud* on the highest volume, so I keep it midway!! Wow. With all the others the first thing I would do is max the volume and never touch it again.
Ever gotten tired of holding down a tiny button for five whole seconds to turn your headset off and on? Join the rest of us. With this, you flip the voice boom open and it's on in 2 seconds; flip the boom closed and it's off just as fast. Brilliant. So easy. Have other companies seen this at all, I wonder? Can I sell this idea to Plantronics and Samsung?
Sick of gimmicky poor-fitting little custom eargels designed for f***ing Shrek or some other ear mutant? Yup, me too. Bypass completely with Motorola H710, and also skip the gnarly plugged-ear sensation before you step out in front of a semi truck coming at you from your headset side because you couldn't hear it.
How about accidental calls? Did the bastards who designed the Samsung WEP500 ever even ONCE try putting that thing in their pocket? Is it some sort of unfunny practical joke? I was blissfully unaware that I was redialing whoever my unfortunate last callee was over and over all fracking day long, and leaving like 5 minute long mostly blank messages (ok, maybe some rustling sounds) all over the place. The accidental redial call is IMPOSSIBLE with this brilliant headset.
GREAT HEADSET!! BUY NOW AND CRAIGSLIST YOUR OLD ONE THAT YOU HATE!! Oh yeah, I gotta run--craigslist awaits! Now where did I put that box full of headsets?
My Favorite!! March 22, 2008

I've owned a number of bluetooth headsets (Jawbone, BlueAnt x3micro) , including the H710's predecessor, the H700. For me, comfort is the most important feature. Both of the Motorola headsets are among the most comfortable headsets that I have owned or tried. They could be worn for hours without a hitch. Voice quality is a close second to comfort, and the H710 doesn't disappoint. I believe voice quality goes hand-in-hand with fit; because the other headsets that I mentioned were "in-the-ear" types, if you cannot get them to fit exactly, their sound quickly deteriorates. This is not the case with the H710, which sits "over-the-ear". The earloop is barely noticable.
I knocked off a star for two reasons: (1) neither myself nor the party I was speaking with while using the headset could tell their was any realistic noise cancellation occurring, even though it was supposedly "improved" from that of the H700; and (2) Motorola changed the charger connector! The H700 has a mini-USB connector. I had a bunch of those mini-USB chargers laying around . . in my car, my office, at home. Well, time to toss them because the H710 uses an all together different micro-USB connector.
 Be Aware - Disappointed - Motorola Design Change to Drive Accessories Revenue March 20, 2008

As a satisfied owner of the Motorola H700 Headset I decided to buy a "backup" and upgraded to the H710.
The H700 uses a standard USB mini power input - you can charge via USB port, or use a standard AC charger w/ mini USB. Great deal - my car charger charges my phone, my headset, kid's MP3.
The H710 uses a different, non-standard jack. I guess Motorola needs the accessories revenue. Too inconvenient.
These headsets are identical in very other way - sole reason for change was to force accessories purchases
Great reception - Easy to use - Comfortable May 20, 2008

First of all I really want to thank the 'Bluetooth pros' for their reviews here. This was my first Bluetooth headset so I knew nothing.
That said, I am very pleased with this and once I figured it all out (I think I was making it more difficult than it really was!) it has been a pleasure. I have a Motorola i880 phone.
The reception I am getting is perfect. It connects right away with a push of the button when a call comes in, or I want to make a call. I'm not super heavy on the phone use, so I get quite a lot of time out of each battery charge (several days anyway).
The comfort is amazing. I wear glasses and it doesn't interfere with that or make my glasses sit wonky. That was a concern I had. Like somebody else mentioned in their review, you don't even feel it there BUT it stays put very well. I love that!
I'm very glad I read the many reviews here, and at other sites, by people who have been through this with many other models before they found this one. I appreciate that because I did NOT want to go through that frustration.
Motorola Bluetooth H710 Headset is Superb in almost every way. May 19, 2008

I bought the Motorola Bluetooth H710 based largely on the reviews I've read about it here on Amazon. I agree with most that the sound quality (hearing and being heard) is excellent. That was the number one criteria for me and nothing else was that important. Any "extra" benefits would just be gravy. While my Virgin Mobile cell phone is not listed on the compatibility lists of Motorola and LG (the cell phone manufacturer), I had no problem pairing the headset and cell phone on the first try. My cell phone has a voice dialing feature and this Bluetooth headset allows for voice dialing (flawlessly).
I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical about the claims of some stating that this unit was so light that they forgot that they were even wearing it. I must apologize for doubting them, because after wearing this headset a few times, I actually DID forget that I had it on. I consider it also to be a huge bonus that this unit is so small and unobtrusive. I've seen some Bluetooth headsets that looked like the wearer had a small brick strapped to the side of their head and I wished to avoid that look at all costs. No worries with this headset. Even with the microphone folded out, this headset is very inconspicuous; with it folded in, even more so.
My other concern was wearing this headset with glasses. Thanks to Lasix, I don't wear prescription glasses anymore, however, my eyes are more sensitive to light now so I wear sunglasses whenever out and about and I take my shades on and off numerous times. This headset easily fit over my ear and I found that I could put on or remove my sunglasses without dislodging the headset.
I was also pleased that it was so easy to convert the headset to wear on either ear. The change over literally takes a few seconds and couldn't be easier.
I have two negative things to say about this headset and they are:
1. I don't wear this headset every day. I only use a cell phone and this headset once a week or so. Since the headset has a fairly long standby time, I expected that with the headset turned off that it would remain charged for quite some time. Wrong! With my headset fully charged (and turned off), I went to use it 6 days later and the battery was completely dead. Why the battery drains completely in a few days (with the unit completely turned off) is a mystery to me and a very unpleasant surprise. I don't know if my headset is faulty or if others have experienced this same issue.
2. My second complain is that before I purchased this headset, nowhere in the description did I read that this headset's battery is not replaceable AND that the battery is only good for a limited number of charges (I don't have the manual in front of me but I believe it stated that the unit was good for about 200 charges). With this headset, after the battery fails, you have to toss the whole thing and buy a new headset. Prior to this purchase, I had narrowed my Bluetooth headset choices down to two different makes and models and while the other headset initially cost more, the battery could be replaced.
Because the battery in my headset completely loses its charge in less than a week, I now keep it plugged into the charger all of the time when I'm not wearing it. I don't know what this will do to the longevity of the battery (especially with the limited number of charges it will take), but usually Lithium-Ion batteries last longer by letting them run down completely before recharging them - not leaving them constantly hooked up to a charger. Only time will tell if leaving my headset plugged in to the charger most of the time will shorten its lifespan.
Bottom line, I really like this headset. Outside of the battery issues, I have nothing but high praise for this model, the Motorola Bluetooth H710. If I can get a full year of use out of this headset before it bites the dust, then I'll consider this a great bargain.
