Hi Alan and others,
David Chittenden posted a review about this earpiece just 8 days ago. Please note that Bill and David both say it's a Bluetooth "earpiece" which means it's a single ear earpiece not a stereo headset. It is also useful to read the reviews on Amazon. Apparently there is a "retail packaging" and non retail packaging" version, the latter being cheaper. Interestingly, the non retail packaging version which has a lot less reviews, only gives it 2.7 out of 5 Stars and the reviews are quite negative. The retail packaging version has 3.7 out of 5 Stars with 89 reviews, almost 60 5 and 4 star reviews, some 3 Star and some 2 and 1 Star. Mostly the low reviews are from people who experienced problems with the headset dropping calls and connection altogether from the iPhone 5, not so good echo cancellation/sound quality for the other person etc. Anyhow, here is David's review: Today I received my new Motorola H19-txt Bluetooth Earpiece. This is one of the smallest earpieces I have worked with. I am using it on my iPhone 5. This earpiece has a flip-out boom mike which turns it on when open. It also uses Rapid Connect to quickly switch over to Bluetooth. The H17-txt supports up to Bluetooth 4.0, which means a couple things. When I have my iPhone in the opposite pocket across my body from the ear that the earpiece is on, the connection remains solid. With all preceding Bluetooth earpieces, the signal would break up because of the water in my body. With Bluetooth 4.0, this is not a problem. Also, the delay between touching a spot on my iPhone screen and receiving feedback is significantly less than any previous earpiece. For typing with the on-screen keyboard, I am now coming very close to my somewhat slow typing speed. The unit has a 9 hour battery life. It also has voice prompts telling you it is ready to be paired, and what the pairing code is if your phone requires it. The iPhone pairs automatically without the pairing code. The unit has very good volume. It displays the Bluetooth battery charge on the iPhone's status bar. On one side is both volume up and volume down. If in your right ear, these volume buttons are on the top, whilst in your left ear, these buttons are on the bottom. On the outside is a somewhat long and skinny raised button. This button answers and ends calls, and activates Siri. According to the specs on Amazon where I purchased it, the range is up to 100 feet. I have not tested this yet, but the fact that it remains fully connected when the phone is across my body is a good sign. The unit comes with two behind the ear hooks, and two silicone grips for in ear, so you can choose how you want to wear it. Thus far, this is the best Bluetooth earpiece I have owned, and I recommend it very highly. Note: you must get the Motorola H19-txt. The Motorola H19 does not support the A2DP profile that VoiceOver requires.

Does it talk? Is it a single ear peace or are there 2 peaces like a head set. That kind of stuff. I'm still using my Plantronics Voyager Pro 520ear peace. It is just for phone calling. The big advantage is, it gives you 7 days so standby time and 8 hours of continuous talk time. I've had the ear peace for over 2 years. If there were any complaints about it, in my opinion it could use a tad bit more treble but it may be my aging ears too. ------- Regards, Alan Go Chicago Bears in 2013!

I suspect that, for whatever reason, I'm partial to the Motorola product line; I am extremely satisfied with this unit and would give it a 5 out of 5 Stars rating. The "Speaker Boom" (such as it is) is very comfortable and the sound is tremendously clear. All in all, an excellent extra for my iPhone 5. ---------------- Holland's Boy, Bill - "Last week I was diagnosed with insomnia, and now I'm just so tired of it." - Source Unknown -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
