Good looks aren't enough.

The Bottom Line: Completely unacceptable fit. Couldn't keep it in a workable position. Constantly readjusting.
This is another in a series of Bluetooth headsets, in my hunt for one that fits my needs. I was extremely disappointed in this one.
It's pretty, I'll give it that. I also liked that I'd be able to disable the blinking "look at me, everybody" light (what is that light for, if not to just draw the attention of others to what you're wearing? - since the wearer certainly can't see it!).
It took two attempts to pair up with my phone, despite the fact that my phone is also by Motorola, but on the secont try things went well in that regard. That's where the fun ended.
I could not get the blasted thing to fit securely. The speaker is inside the device, meaning the speaker "grill" is flush on the side of the device, so the only way to affix it to anything is the use of one of the hear hooks.
They were comfortable enough - that wasn't a problem - but that's all you have to work with. No ear buds with gels to snug into your ear, just a hook with this thing hanging down in front of my ear and moving back and forth as I moved my head. Even things like a big grin or a yawn would push it too far out.
There was no way to get used to it because I was constantly repositioning it. Finally, I reached up to do so and it fell off in my hand, having worked its way forward or something. At that point, I removed it and wrote it off.
I gave up on it because I know myself and I won't use something that requires that much ongoing attention, especially when the whole point of it is increased convenience. Because I bounced it so early in the experience, I can't say anything about how well the sound quality might or might not be. For me, the bad fit was a deal-breaker.
