I was initially concerned about the same thing. BUT, it appears I found a reputable dealer. If you would like to know which one, I would be happy to let you know. As I said in the article, I WAS missing the additional ear clips. But the H800 itself works great.

Are you sure that this headset was a real Motorola? Most of the Moto stuff on Ebay is fake, especially headsets. With that price difference between this one and the retail version I’d be quite suspicious…

Critical is good. It was my first review.

Fit on my ear is good. The retail unit is supposed to come with additional clips for a more custom fit. Mine did not, but is secure.

I have had no difficulty using it in transit. No problems with road noise (although I haven’t tested it at 65mph with the windows down). People I have talked to have not made any comments regarding problems.

Compared to the Motorola H500, and the Jabra 125 (which I own), It is MUCH clearer with no echo. This may be because the microphone is on the extended end of the slider.

Appreciate the feedback.

I don’t want to be too critical here but WTF?

This reads like a sales brochure (I used to write them).

Tell us this, how well does it fit?

How loud is it? I had an H12 Motopure (silly nomenclature) it was great. Tiny, comfortable but, as I drove faster and road noise increased, the digital processing ratcheted the volume ever lower: no good.

So, how is it with background noise?
How is it with wind?
How does it compare to the Jawbone, the SoundID 100 and/ or the Invisio G5?

What other headsets have you used and how is it compared to them?

Give us some useful information. Please.
