I've owned and loved the Motorola H7XX series bluetooth headsets (H700, H710 and H715).  Between them, I've also purchased and returned the Plantronics Voyager 510 and PRO due to how functional the Motorola's H7XX series as been for me.  I've always enjoyed the fact that all I have to do to pair a phone is open it up and enter the code on my phone.  When I want to turn it off, I simply close it. When I want to store it, it nicely fits in either the small or normal jean pockets (I never really got that from Plantronics and a reason for always coming back to the H7XX series.

One thing I will note though is that all my headsets have gone bad within that 1 year warranty (not sure if its because I use it like hell or what).  Motorola's warranty has been excellent and they have always stood by their warranty every single time.

About 9 months into my H715 the mic stopped working.  Others could not hear anything regardless of which phone I paired up with.  I called Motorola and explained the situation, we did some further troubleshooting and then they put together an RMA for me.  One draw back was that they are no longer manufacturing the H715's (bummer).  So they were going to replace it with a H720 (no way).  I explained to Motorola that I purposely purchased the H715 due to its ability to pair with (2) phones which I use extremely everyday (iPhone and Bold 9700) but the H720 does not have that feature.  She talked things over with her manager and they suggested that they could send me a H17 (I've never tried any other Motorola bluetooth headsets other then the H7XX series so I was somewhat hesitant).  They explained to me that it also had a boom mic similar to the H7XX series and the option of placing it in the ear (one reason Plantronics never really worked out for me) or placing outside the ear with an ear loop similar to the H7XX series.  They also explained that the H17 could pair with (2) phones.  So, I agreed.  When I received the phone, I thought they had sent me like an iPhone.  The packaging has changed from a regular headset box to what I would call... simply... Art (when you get the retail packaging you'll know what I'm mean).

So, the in ear thing didn't work for me, I guess its just me, but the over the ear loop worked for me exactly like the H7XX series.  The H17 has really cool voice prompts when you open the boom, "You are paired with Phone 1, battery is high, you are paired with Phone 2".  The H17's volume is LOUD (coming from the H7XX series it is LOUD).  I actually have to lower it now.  The H17 is extremely small and even more compact then the H7XX series.  One cool thing it does is that it allows you to call from either Phone 1, by pressing the call button or call from phone 2 by pressing the call button and the volume button.  Non of the H7XX series headset had this nice feature.  I would normally have to hold the call button to redial from the previous phone but if I had to call from phone 2, I would have to start the call from the phone itself (great feature).

I will continue to update this review if anything comes up.  I hope this H17 last way beyond the 1 year warranty if not, I know first hand that Motorola stands by its warranty.  One final note, the representative did tell me that the H730 would be coming out soon and is designed after the new H720 but with more features one being the ability to connect to (2) phones.  Depending on how things go with the H17, I might convert to the H1X series.

***UPDATE 02/07/2011***
I still stand by the review for this product and I can't fault it for the following update and thus I cannot take a STAR away from it.  This updated is geared towards professionals or those whom use their bluetooth excessively on one sitting.  As mentioned above, I have personally have used the  H7XX series and battery life is great with up to 12 hours of talk time.  I did not notice this "feature" on the H7XX until I was "moved" over to the H17.  As stated previously, the H17 is smaller and thus will have less talk time.  But I need talk time to be in the 6-8 hour range which the H7XX gave me but the H17 cannot.  Come to think of it, I will remove a STAR for one reason.  On the H7XX series, once I was hitting the battery "limit", the headset would worn me with various tones but whomever I was working with could still hear me crystal clear.  In the same scenario, the H17's voice quality is degraded significantly without any type of warning while wearing the headset.  People with whom I'm working with continuously say I'm cutting out around the time the H17 hits its battery "limit".  No type of warning, very annoying!!!

Finally, I've gone out and purchased the H730 (w00t) and hopefully Motorola kept it the "same"...
