Amazon.com Product Description
The long-awaited update to the wildly popular Jabra BT250 is here, and it's got great new styling, comfort, and features. A one-touch pairing button makes pairing your mobile phone simple, while multi-color LED lights keep you informed about your Bluetooth connection, as well as charging and battery status. With the BT500 you now also have the convenient option of charging directly from your PC via a USB cable. No matter how fancy or powerful a headset may be, it's not all that useful if it isn't comfortable. Fortunately, the BT500 has comfort covered. The ergonomic design fits comfortably behind your ear. Plus, it's significantly slimmer than its predecessors, offering the ultimate in lightweight comfort for a Bluetooth headset. In fact, the BT500 weighs just .67 ounces. All the functions you use most often on your phone are conveniently available on the BT500. A single button controls answer/end functions, as well as call hold/wait, call reject, and mute. You can also voice dial from your BT500, as well as re-dial the last number. Note that some of these features require that you have a Bluetooth compatible phone that supports them. A dedicated pairing button makes it easy to connect the BT500 to your phone at a moment's notice. Plus, multi-colored LED lights provide Bluetooth, low battery, and battery charging status. With eight hours of talk time and up to 240 hours of standby time, you can talk all day if you need to. As mentioned, you can charge the BT500 via a USB connection, or via an included AC adapter. Charging takes about two hours. What's in the Box

 For callers' sake! September 21, 2008

I've now owned the Jabra BT250, BT250v, and the Jabra BT500. I suspect those who have nothing but rave reviews for this model have either never used other Jabra models or never had those they've called compare the difference or know how clear a phone call can be with another model.
The first time I made a call from the BT500 to someone who was used to hearing me on the BT250, they immediately asked, "Are you on speaker phone?" I was given nothing but complaints from those I called about the low quality sound on their end ...all the muffled voice and background noise. I always ended up explaining how I accidentally destroyed my other Jabra and gave this new model a try. I was always told, "You should buy another one ...the other one you used to use."
I once even talked to someone who was using this earbud and everything my callers said were true. It DID sound like I was talking to someone who was on a speakerphone!
Yes, this item has all the great features ...but when your on the other end of the phone it lacks.
I would recommend purchasing the BT250 or BT250v ...for your callers' sake!

On the plus side it fits well.
It has 2 major negatives:
1. It dose not signal when the connection is lost between the phone and headset.
2. After dialing it is also necessary to press the answer/end button on the bluetooth to connect--should be automatic.
 happy in ca September 9, 2008
this is more comfortable than i expected an over the ear pice to be, and the sound is great, in my old loud car. i had a Minolta one that really sucked and am so happy with the jabra in comparison. its totally worth the money and in california its the law now.
Ok indoors. Virtually unusable in the car. September 2, 2008

I purchased this headset to replace the Jabra 250 that I had for years and worked superbly until it recently started refusing to pair with my new phone. Assuming this was simply the newer version of the same model, I purchased it without hesitation. What a mistake! For some reason, the sensitivity level on the 500 model is exponentially greater than on its predecessor. Although you might think that's a good thing, believe me - it's not. When I drive in the car (with the windows closed, the AC off, and on local roads) people on the other line say that they can barely hear what I'm saying, even though I'm actually almost yelling! They say it sounds like I'm standing on a very busy street in the city. While inside, even running the water to wash your hands proves to be significantly annoying to those on the other end of the line. Even when the water is not at full pressure, people on the other end of the line say they can barely hear anything I'm saying. In short, the increased sensitivity is actually a significant detriment to this new model. With regard to weight and general comfort, this model is just as good as the Jabra 250.
 Love it!!! July 8, 2008
This bluetooth has great sound quality and comfortable fit - even with glasses! Easy to use.
