Pros: Price, Sound quality, Volume, Ease of use, Looks
Cons: Static when farther from device, No padding on earpiece
Summary: Finding a headset that works well with the PalmOne Treo 650 was rather difficult at first. It seemed that the quality of Bluetooth reception on the Treo 650 was rather lacking. However despite such shortcomings, I still wanted to have a Bluetooth headset ... read more

Pros: Voice quality, wind cancelation, volume, battery life, included goodies.
Cons: Inconsistent range/static, true of all Bluetooth headsets.
Summary: I have owned a Cardo Scala 500 for nearly 2 years, so hopefully this review will tell you how it is to own this device in the real world over time. My first taste of Bluetooth was my brother's Sony Ericsson cell phone & Bluetooth headset combo. I ... read more

Pros: Sound quality, price, comfort, easy to use
Cons: Occasional static, intermittently stops working
Summary: Bluetooth headsets are cool and geeky at the same time. While it's really cool to be able to talk on the phone without wires or hands, face it, you look like a geek wearing a device attached to your ear that makes you look like you just got off a ... read more

Pros: Small. Car charger included. Customer service.
Cons: Sound quality. Battery life.
Summary: Appearance The Cardo Scala 500 is equipped with a large, bright, flashing blue light that flashes non-stop from the time you turn it on. Sometimes I feel like I'm a walking K-Mart Blue Light Special. I recently purchased a lower priced ... read more

Pros: The Scala 500 greatly enhances cell phone useage.
Cons: Another device to keep charged up.
Summary: Everyone is aware of the potential hazards of using a cell phone while driving. Cell phone users have experienced the problems of holding the phone to the ear while not in a quiescent sitting down mode. Some us more clumsy types have inadvertently ... read more

Pros: Price. Comfortable. Loud speaker. Battery life. Price. Looks cool. Lots of extras. Price.
Cons: Count on some static. Half duplex. Some features don't work with the Treo 650.
Summary: After doing TONS of research on a sea of bluetooth headsets, I couldn't help asking myself: was there really a time when things were simple? When there wasn't so much decision-making to be done? Before the phrase "paper or plastic"? Couldn't there ... read more

Pros: See summary - all good comments on this unit
Cons: None
Summary: I have had four different Bluetooth headsets so far (two Jabras, an Epox HS-02, and the Scala), and this one is by far the best I've tried. 1) It has actually lasted several weeks without breaking, which is more than I can say about the competition (I ... read more

Pros: - Price
- End Call and Voice Memo functionality via 2.5 mm adapter
Cons: - Sound quality
- Distance ability
- Battery life
- Unecessarily complicated
Summary: After reading several reviews of this product, both the headset and the headset with 2.5 mm adapter for non-Bluetooth phones, I thought I'd give it a shot. First of all, the vast majority of reviews are only for the headset. One thing to keep in mind ... read more

Pros: Small, light, good performance, great glasses clip, Windstop, works perfect with my Nokia 6820
Cons: CAN'T DO MULTIPLE PAIRING, ear clip didn't work well for me, changing stand is loose
Summary: After a lot of research, I ended up deciding between this headset and the Logitech Freedom Mobile headset. Since I couldn't find the Freedom Mobile headset for the price I wanted (out of stock) I ended up with this for only $3 more. Two main reasons I ... read more

Pros: Featherweight, clean sound, long battery life
Cons: Lights too bright, position of multi-function wheel can't get into standby mode from Automatic
Summary: I researched for about 700 centuries before I bought this headset (give or take) and I want to give a fairly detailed review of it since I really haven’t seen any (especially for the ones with the 2.5 mm adapter). Function The scala ... read more

Pros: light weight, great battery life, great audio, competitive price
Cons: no external LCD caller ID, blinking light can not be turned off during use.
Summary: I am using the Scala 500 with a Motorola V360 and it works great! Though I haven't really had much experience with using the headset in different environments; it is a great accessory. The Scala 500 is also fairly easy to use and is light weight allowing

Pros: Superior sound quality, comfort, ease of use.
Cons: On/Off button must be held for a few seconds.
Summary: As a gadget perfectionist, I tested a number of bluetooth headsets to go with my Motorola MPX220, including many I tried at the manufacturer's booths during the Consumer Electronics Show, January 2006. I rate the Cardo Scala 500 #1 in the following

Pros: Easy pairing, super tight fit for an loop type of headset
Cons: Staticy when the volume is turned up high, control button a bit small.
Summary: The pairing of the Cardo is a breeze with the Motorola V551. The fit is great. Allows me to turn my head, without feeling like it will flop about. Call quality was ok and no complaints about battery life. Overall a decent deal for

Pros: Light, easy to use, good sound quality
Cons: Doesn't stay on your ear, drops calls
Summary: Must say that I was very excited to receive my BT headset, first one for me. My excitement quickly gave way to frustration. The ear piece will not fit on my ear, falls off as soon as I turn my head... Having something that went into the ear would

Pros: It was cheap
Cons: I didn't work
Summary: This thing was horrible! Extremely scratchy sound quality, and worse, the sound degrades even more when you turn your head! Finally, it won't maintain a connection for anywhere near the 30 feet that Bluetooth devices are supposed to support. The
