Consumer review by: sanoran_t (cnet.com)

Range not class 1

I bought this ONLY because it claimed to be class 1 (300ft range). So I tried two different class 1 dongles and a PCI bluetooth card, all of which are class 1, -but all I got was about 35 feet range (instead of 300). Is motorola deceiving us or do I...

It works well, and battery life is good. Pairing is easy but the joystick control is not very good

Range is NOT class 1 (300ft) but slightly better than class 2 (30 ft)

Well designed & good build quality

Setup was simple and straight forward. Having a mic built into the unit helps the design so that we can use our favorite head phones with SoundPilot. Needless to day that sound quality is top class when using good ear pieces like Sennheiser MX-500,...

Simple intuituive operation, good sound volume, decent bass & more than 10m bluetooth range

Larger than normal size when compared with others

Great for music, terrible for phone

I liked this initially, though had a hard time finding a location I could clip it to be heard on a phone call. The sound quality is good, and I like the display idea, but you can't see what the song list is on the screen, only "streaming". It is also...

Great sound

Terrible if you want to be heard on a call, Tangled mess

The best I have found!

Great sound and range and the volume is way more louder than other bluetooth stereo headsets I have tried, better than the S9 headset for sure. Works flawlessly with my enVy! I love it!

This one has volume

None really

Anyone get it to work with an iPad?

I can get this to pair with my iPad, and the sound works fine, but the controls do nothing. I can't pause the music, play, fast forward, or rewind. Has anyone gotten this to work properly with an iPad?

Great device.

I have been using this device for over 2 years. I paired it with the Motorola DC800 which is connected to my stereo. It allows me to wirelessly listen to any device connected to my stereo. I use it every day to listen to TV since my room has a high...
