Excellent and Works well with two Phones
I have had many bluetooth headsets and have preferred the Motorola H series flip boom because it is a simple-to-use on/off switch. The H730 has some nice features over its predecessors including:
- Ability to pair with up to two phones simultaneously. If you have two phones like I do (personal and work supplied), the H730 does an excellent job of pairing both phones and allowing communication switching between the two including voice dial.
- Voice Status. The H730 provides voice status on battery level as well as phone connection; well done.
- Voice Quality. I've never understood why Bluetooth voice quality has never been great, but, the H730 is as good as I've experienced with a bluetooth headset. No complaints from callers on the other end.
- Battery Life. Very good as I have come to expect from the past H series devices. I have not completely drained the H730 nor received any battery warnings even after talking well over an hour.
Room for Improvement
- Once feature I miss from the older H series units is a color coded LED battery strength signal (green, yellow, and red). I have not experienced a low battery status, so the unit may provide a visual low battery signal and I'm unaware of it.
All in all, this is an excellent device and comes recommended based on my experience with many bluetooth headsets.
UPDATE: After a few years of experience with the H730, my opinion remains that it's a 5 Star product. I recently bought the newer Motorola HX550 thinking maybe it would be an upgrade; it's not. The H730 is better in every way including:
- wearing comfort,
- slipping on and off the ear,
- call quality for me wearing the H730,
- call quality for the person I am talking to (yes, I have compared both units with multiple people on the other end; the H730 was preferred each time), and
- button controls (the vol buttons are better on the HX550 but the large command button most used is superior on the H730).
I have had plenty of bluetooth headsets and the H730 as of March 2013 is still the best I have tried and I have tried units that cost nearly $200.
