Summary: Not bad
Comment: I paired this with a Treo 700p, overall it was a pretty decent product. The positive things are that the sound quality is good, streaming mp3s, and listening to Pocket Tunes are both very clear, and the volume is sufficient. The range is also very good, I could walk very far from my phone and still be able to talk on the phone or hear music. The built-in radio was also a plus. The negative aspects of this device is that it's difficult to pair to my phone every single time. At times it would not connect to my phone at all, and I found this very frustrating. The buttons are somewhat confusing, and do not respond properly at times, making it difficult to find the necessary functions. Also the lanyard is very uncomfortable and not cosmetically appealing. If you can get this item on sale for around 30 bucks then it's definitely worth it. I returned it and purchased the Jabra BT3030 which I enjoy much more.

Summary: Motorola S705
Comment: Having stereo for your telephone is nice. The ability to use your favorite earphones is wonderful. Music streaming is good but you have to keep the volume limited to avaoid distortion. As with most other bluetooth devices the sound of your voice on the other end of the line is lost. Microphone placement is the issue. In a moving vehicle it's only inteligible to the party you're talking to if you hold it right in front of your mouth. Hardly hands-free.

Summary: Great for Bluetooth Stereo, but deaf people cant hear you when you use your Cell Phone
Comment: I bought this for use with a LG Chocolate 2 and it works great for playing music off the cell phone. Taking phone calls is another matter all together. You can hear people great, but people claim that Im in a tunnel. But hey, Bluetooth Stereo head phones right? Especially nice since you can use whatever headphone you like which is nice. I use noise cancelling earbuds when mowing the lawn and sport clip earbuds when working out or playing disc golf.

Now here comes the best part... its a Bluetooth Class 1 device! Say what?!?!? Bluetooth has classes? yea, sure does. Class 1 is better than Class 2. Class 2 has a range of 33 feet, so my LG Chocolate 2 is a Class 2 transmitter. This means limited distance. However, my Zoom/iHiFi 4355 Bluetooth Adapter for iPod is a Class 1 device. This means that outside or in an indoor line of sight (meaning no walls) i get 300 feet worth of distance before the signal drops! SAY WHAT!!!! Exactly. This thing is great for tooling around the yard listening to tunes especially if you have a Class 1 transmitter. Or as I use it, in the Disc Golf bag that I set near the next hole while I walk to my next shot or putt. I even just place this near the basket while I practice, all while being in range.

Summary: Wow. Missed it by _that_ much!
Comment: Loved the A2DP, hated the microphone. They were sooooo close! Had microphone problems with one, and everything else worked great when connected to my LG VX8300, so I figured I'd exchange it for another. Even tested the voice command and made a call on the new one. Worked once, and I took it home. The next two times, the mic was so bad I couldn't do a call by voice command and the person on the other end couldn't understand me.

I would have given 3 stars, since the MP3 player control was great, stereo sound was great, and the radio was a total bonus. But Motorola tech support was horrible. I emailed and the first thing they asked was "when did you buy it?" Lady, the product hasn't been out long enough to be out of warranty! And the second response was "ship it back". That's the best Moto can do with an early adopter? Geez, glad I didn't buy a Moto phone!

I see the Sony/Ericsson pendant has gotten great reviews, maybe I'll try that one.

Summary: Not A Bluetooth Car Kit Replacement
Comment: The idea for me to purchase this product was to connect T-Mobile Dash (WM6) phone to my car audio's 3.5mm stereo line-in port. So that I can
1. Use the phone's voice recognition software to dial/receive calls through S705's microphone while listen to the other end of the conversation via car audio's speakers.
2. Listen to mp3 that is on the phone's microSD card, so I can get a rid of the crappy "iProduct" I use for podcast.
3. I would never missed a phone ring, since the mp3 will pause automatically while the phone rings through the car's speaker.

Pros:
Good stereo sound quality using the supplied headphone, my own headphones, home stereo speakers and my car speakers. I did not experience the same "audio phase" problem as the other reviewer.

Cons:
1. There is an echo during phone conversations. I can hear the person on the other end perfectly fine, and the other end claims my voice they hear is loud and clear too. However, everyone I talked to all heard an echo of their own voice while I am using S705. The echo can be heard on calls to both mobile numbers and land lines.
2. The voice recognition software have a hard time recognize my commands through S705. In a quiet room setting, my phone and S705 can recognize my commands perfectly. However, during driving at any speed. My phone can still recognize my commands fairly easily, while S705 failed to recognize any of my commands. I did not have the same problem while driving using Motorola HS820 and H300 Bluetooth Headset. In my phone's manual, it specified to "turn off Automatic Gain Control and set the microphone gain level to a medium level" if Voice Command have problem recognize voice. However, there is no such settings in S705.

If your main objective is to listen to stereo music through headphone/home stereo/car audio while at home or jogging outdoors, this is not a bad choice. If you are looking for a "Bluetooth car kit" replacement, look elsewhere.
