Features I liked on it: You could answer the phone by flipping open the boom, thereby turning on the headset and linking it to the phone. The back of this is flat and covered in a thin sheet of a rubber-like substance, which makes it easy to use with an in-ear hearing aid and has an edge that tends to block outside noise. It has about the same degree of loudness as the Cardo. It makes a little blip in my ear when the phone rings. from Amazon.com I was forced to return this item directly to cardo because of a defective battery. I purchased this headset because of two prior headsets I had from them which served my faithfully until I dropped one in water and lost the other one. from Amazon.com This is by far the best headset that I've ever owned. The talk time is outstanding and the fit is exceptional. from Amazon.com I used to have an LG H500(can't quite remember the model number) and used it with my LG Voyager phone and the quality was decent on my end of the conversation but terrible on the other end. So I decided to get something new that the people on the other end can actually hear me. I searched around for a little bit looking at Motorolas and Plantronics among others and found sparkling reviews on this Cardo Scala 500 bluetooth headset. So I took a chance at it even though I've never heard of that company and the so called wind protection but it actually does work great. from Amazon.com 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. from Amazon.com 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. from Amazon.com 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. from Amazon.com 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. from Amazon.com This Cardo headset is awesome. Quality is great, easy to pair, and really stands up to the use. from Amazon.com 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. from Amazon.com
