I think this product is well worth every cent I've payed for it. The design is nice, the features are fine, and the price is just right.

This is my second Cardo Systems Scala 500. I inadvertently ran over my first one when it fell out of my pocket and onto the driveway. My current one just went through the wash and spin cycle when I left it in my nursing scrubs. And it still works flawlessly! How's that for good quality? I love this item. Highly recommended. I use it with my iPhone.

This is my 3rd bluetooth earpiece and what I have learned is that most earpieces are made for a man's ear. My ears are on the small side and I have yet to find an earpiece that will stay on. This one isn' bad as far as ease of use,easy to charge, sound quality and size. It has a nifty cord to keep it from going astray when you're not using it. It also comes with a holster (another guy-thing I guess) but mine broke the first time I tried to use it and after emailing the seller I got no response as to what to do.

With all that said--it's a decent product, it just didn't work well for me. I'm still looking...

I had paid $10 after instant rebate a while back for this headset. I used it with a Motorola A630 initially and then with my Nokia 9300i. People didn't know I was using a headset and I even was able to use this headset on my way to a train late one night on a blustery Chicago evening walking past the Sears Tower - anyone that has walked past the Sears Tower will know how the wind can really whip around and howl out there. That's not to say the person on the other end didn't notice any wind noise at all, but they could hear me and I could hear them as well. This item is durable as well, I had accidentally left it in a pocket and my wife washed AND dryed it before realizing it had been left in my pocket. We thought it would be ruined, but I took and it powered on and connected no problem, I even made a call and again NO PROBLEM! You get some nice accessories with it as well - an eye glass clip, cd and lanyard to hand around your neck. I actually still have this although I haven't been using it I might go back to it because the Scala 700 doesn't seem to work as well.

Finally found a bluetooth headset that works with my Palm Treo - yay :) I tried 4 others, lots of issues, the main being they wouldn't sinc well with my Palm Treo. This one sinc's 85% of the time, which is a great improvement. It's light, fits well on my ear, especially since I wear glasses, and for the price is well worth it.

Its so comfortable and easy to set up. Once its in your ear, no need to keep checking, its not going anywhere.

Good quality, light, comfortable, excellent talk time, standby time, noise cancelling and sound quality, and options for carrying it around. It pairs easily with my LG-550 Fusic phone. What more can I say, I have 2 (just in case I lose 1).

This is a good product for anyone that small ears this one has a wire you can actually adjust and fit the ear comfortably.

This is the first Bluetooth Headset I'd ever used so I do not have base to compare. It has a good price for a beginner like me that doesn't want to spend a lot of money on the first try. On top of that, it comes with all the accessories needed (wall and car chargers,interchangeable ear and glasses attachments, neck strap and belt clip). The attachment for the eye glasses works ok, the retaining clip that attach it to the glasses leg does not feel 100% secured like the ear loop but it does the job; I personally prefer the ear loop. If you have small ears like me, this is a good headset to buy. I was not so sure about buying a Bluetooth headset at the begining because I was afraid of the headset's ear loop being too big and fall off my ear or stay loose like some wired headsets. The pairing was very easy and fast on my Nokia 6300; so far I haven't got anybody complaining about poor voice sound when I talk, and I sure can hear everybody very clear. That is a lot to say because, normally, I have to set the volume on my electronics a little louder to hear better. With the Cardo Systems SCALA 500 Bluetooth Headset I don't have that problem at all. The battery works fine, it doesn't need to be recharged that often and it holds charge pretty good during calls. Overall, I am satisfied with the value and general function of this headset.

This is a great little unit. It does almost anything you could ask of a moderately priced BT headset. Syncs easily with my Razr V3, offers more volume than the phone I'm using with it, no complaints from the other party I'm speaking with, great reception (in a particularly bad cell location that I live in) and pretty comfortable on my ear for long periods of time. The finish of the thing being my only real complaint; the plastic casing around the speaker boom somehow cheapens the appearence -- reminds me of some of the whistles that came as prizes in CrackerJack boxes that I got as a kid. Otherwise, a flawless product. Sadly, I dropped mine on the sidewalk a half-step ahead of me and accidentally stepped on it, crushing the poor thing. So here's the litmus test question; Would I buy another? I can only say 'maybe.' As much as I like it, I can't help overcome the feeling that there's something out there that's better. Something that performs as well but offers an appearance of substance. I'm going to try a short list of other BT devices but at least I know that if I don't find anything better, I can always come back to the very affordable Scala-500, which is the standard I will refer to when comparing the others.

This is an excellent headset for the price. Speedy delivery. I would certainly buy this same headset again.

Cardo Systems SCALA 500 Bluetooth Headset - Holiday Pack, Free Car Charger Included
I have owned several Bluetooth wireless head sets from Standard to the Mini and they all seem to offer the same basic functions. The seperation is size, weight and fit. This is the one product I can wear all day and not be concerned about it flopping around or causing my ear to hurt after a prolonged session. The shape of the 500 plays a major role in the comfort of this product.
Thank you for your research and effort in making this a usable tool.

This Cardo headset is awesome. Quality is great, easy to pair, and really stands up to the use. Would highly recommend this item or any of the Cardo Scala bluetooth headsets to anyone looking for a bluetooth headset.

This has been the best I have tested. I have two other bluetooth headsets that just didn't work very well. The Plantronics Discovery 640E, it did not do well in my noisy truck, but in quiet areas it was very good, it has an ear bud and did not stay in my ear very well. Then the Logitech Mobile Bluetooth Headset, also not good in the noisy truck, and it would screech when it jumped from tower to tower.
But this Cardo Scala 500 works pretty well in my noisy truck, when I am NOT talking people on the other end hear the truck noise but as soon as I start talking the noise cancelling mic focus' in on my voice and shuts out the backround noise.
It is very comfortable and does not fall off.
the volume can get very loud too, that is good for me in the noisy truck.
I would recommend it, I got it quite cheap,less than the other two, look for sales.

This is my first bluetooth device. Read reviews and considered other headsets costing $50 and $100. Based on reviews and value, got this one. Have used it three days.
It works well and came with a good set of accessories. My only complaint really is that the tone of voices on my end sounds a bit like a tin can phone. Intelligibility is not a problem, but the sound is a bit disconcerting. Most people I talk to say it sounds fine on the other end, but one complained of the "tunnel sound."
But it is a good value. It synched with my T-Mobile Wing right away. I think it dropped a couple of calls, but cannot be certain where the blame lies. I just walked away from the phone and when I came back it reconnected immediately.
Other comments: The eyeglasses clip is a great idea but I'll have to modify it to work with my thin wire frames. The ear clip is fine. The supplied neck cord is a good idea, but I'm not using it. The belt clip seems a bit vulnerable as it sticks out pretty far.
Mine was missing the full manual (a return?), but the online PDF was easy to find.
Overall, I did expect slightly better performance, but am satisfied with the value and general function of this headset.

The headset I received was apparently defective. The sound quality on my end was excellent but everyone I talked to said it sounded like I was in a tunnel. The car charger did not work at all. I returned the set for a full refund.

Clean sound, no static. Fits larger ears as well as small. The ear loop is bendable which makes it custom to you. The eyeglass clip is a bit tricky to use, so I don't. The belt/shirt(or wherever) clip/holder is really great. The lanyard(?)is handy but I don't use it. Overall I am very glad that I got this product.You do not need to pay for high priced gear, that doesn't always mean the product is better. Especially on this headset.

I recently lost my old motorola head set and was forced to find another. I thought that all blue tooth devices had the same issues of hard hearing, bad connections and the lack of ability to do hands free voice calling. The Scala 500 did all of those perfectly. Can control how loud you want it, easy to connect, and great for hands free voice calling! Worth the money!

I have the Cardo 500 and prefer it to the $100 Plantronics that I also own. The sound quality is great, as is the wind noise blocking (though it won't work while I'm riding my bike at 20mph). Great battery life and easy controls. My only wish is that it had a USB charger so I didn't need one other than the USB from my phone. At $30 this is a great value!

I bought this headset for my wife and I try to use it every chance I get. It's much better than my motorola HS850. The original shipment didn't contain the free car charger as advertised, but the seller set it to me within a couple days. I would by from this seller again.

This headset worked great the first week, but the plastic piece around the speaker kept falling off and eventually lost. Once it was lost the earpiece that goes to your ear moves too much and now it is all in the garbage cause the speaker has fallen off and all less then a month old.

We are very pleased with the prompt service. We received the item within a few days, and it was in excellent condition.

I searched the market for a month or more before purchasing this headset. It is a great value for the money and comfortable to wear. No complaints from clients but my wife states I sound like I'm in a barrel.

Excellent products for the price. I did have to send an email asking for my free car charger. It came within a few days. No complaints from me. Still using it almost a year later!

People were always complaining they could not hear me on my previous bluetooth. My brother recommended this one. No more complaints that I can't be heard and I hear very clearly. I love the little case with the clip on it--very helpful. It works really great with my phone.

I only can use my unit for about 1 hour per day. 1/2 hour on standby and 1/2 hour in use and it has to be recharged. Also, it has to be close to the phone. No farther away than a pocket.
It does work well when the battery is fresh but I would not buy another one.

I've had this headset for over a week. Ordered it after seeing so many good reviews about it. Unfortunately, I should have trusted all the complaints by a few users, 'coz they are all true! This headset works, but sure not as good as advertised. My friends on the other end complained about noises, breaking up and that they cannot hear me well. Don't even think about talking in the wind. It does not sit well on my ear either, feels like it is falling off. And it sure doesn't look as cute as in the pic - too big!

I bought it through AccessaryOne without noticing their return policy excludes ALL bluetooth headset, and have not being able to reach their customer service, by phone or email. The phone number provided was even out of date. My advise, don't buy it, and not from this seller.

I have been using this bluetooth headset for about 1 month. Thus far I am pleased. It needs to be recharged about once a week and reception is good. Great value, IMO.

I wish they had more than a 5 star rating. Anyone who drives and talks on the phone should definitely get one of these. Voice activated so you never need to take your eyes off the road. Great for walking, too! Make sure your cellular phone is blue tooth capatible - most of them are now.

This is the best headset of all I've used. And I tried it finally because of all its good reviews at Amazon! After many trials and failures, I couldn't find one at Best Buy, Fry's or Radio Shack that would work dependably for my Razr phone. But this one does.

Had this headset for 3 months. Worked pretty well, nice sound volume and people didn't complain about not being able to hear me. I was pretty happy with it overall until today, when the speaker fell off the body of the headset. Both wires separated from the main body (the adhesive failed, then the wires came un-soldered).

I had a couple of small complaints prior to the unit failing. The unit hurt my ear after a couple of hours of wear. It would randomly lose the bluetooth connection to the phone, and was kind of a pain to set back up.

I won't be buying another Cardo Scala product.

This headset was referred to me by a guy that works on commission!! He swore to me that it would be more reliable than the High Dollar headsets out there. It just so happened that I knew 2 people that had to send their High Dollar headsets back to the manufacturer because they were malfunctioning! This inexpensive alternative has been as reliable as promised, and I highly recommend it to anyone that believes that more expensive doesn't always mean better!!

I have the Scala 500. I have had it since last July. People I talk to say it sounds better then when I use the actual phone by itself. No one has ever said "What did you say?" The button started to act up. So I called Cardo. I sent it in and received the new one in about a week. The only problem is it drops the connection some times, while in stand by. I have not had it drop an actual call.

Some times the person on the other end hears crystal clear other times person says it sound like you are in a empty room on speaker phone with kind of a echo.

Wonderful product:-) However, DO NOT purchase from DBROTH. There policy is "THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS WRONG." Parts were missing from package and after exchanging 11 emails there was still no help from dbroth. I finally contacted the manufacturer and got immediate results.
Other than the lousy NON customer service from DBROTH, the product is fantastic and worth 5 stars.
