Summary: Best Headset for Lowest Price!
Comment: I've been using the Scala 500 for YEARS! Here's why: After my first one broke, I decided to try several others. I bought a Motorola low-end one, and a Jabra high-end one, and a new Scala 500. I then paired each with my phone. I first paired the Scala - then I called home and left a message while parked at the side of the road. I then paired each of the others and did the same thing. Then I went driving with the air conditioner on, re-pairing the three and leaving new messages, identifying each at the start of my messages. In each case, the Scala 500 easily - not even close - sounded the clearest and most natural. In the case of the "parked" message, if I didn't know the message was left from a headset, I would have thought it was a land line, it was that clear. My call recipients often express surprise that we're talking from my headset, as they would not know unless I told them.
Needless to say, I returned the other two (far more expensive - the Motorola was $89 and the Jabra was $119) sets and kept the Scala 500 - the $27.99 price I got on that one was the best bargain EVER. So don't spend tons of money on other, perhaps sleeker or more stylish models if what you really want is to be able to clearly hear your party, and allow them to clearly hear you. The Scala 500 beat all competitors - no hands!

Summary: This is one you need to try
Comment: With bluetooth headsets, there is much to be said about individual comfort and I have found this Cardo to be very comfortable for me. It functions very well also.

Summary: Good Headset
Comment: I purchased the Scala 500 Bluetooth Headset after looking at other recommendations. I've never owned one before so I'm not familiar with other designs. This headset does really well in windy situations and is very easy to use. It stays active for a long time, is easy to setup, smallish, and functional. Not too many features to confuse a novice and not too little to be ineffectual. I would definitely recommend this product.

Summary: not so great
Comment: I got this headset to replace a Plantronics Explorer 330 Easy-To-Use Bluetooth® Headset for all Bluetooth Enabled Phones that I washed(which was fantastic btw). Over all the functioning is fine. The wind control does not really work but the sound is generally clear and the battery life is good. However, the earpiece is very uncomfortable it is loose and feels like it is going to fall off. Its ok for short-term use but not something you can really wear for any length of time for example when you are not actually on the phone. I am currently looking into other options because I do not use this headset. It is more convenient to not use a headset at all than to use this one.

Take your Bluetooth headset experience to new heights with the thoughtfully designed scala-500. The unit comes equipped with all the high-end features and functionalities you would expect from a leading headset, with the addition of revolutionary technology that is designed to cut wind noise. 
Easy to wear around your neck or on your belt. Take a closer look. | 
An ear-clip and an exclusive eye/sunglasses clip come with the scala-500. Take a closer look. | Equipped with the WindGuard solution, the scala-500 overcomes wind interference significantly better than does any other Bluetooth headset on the market. Whether you're walking the sidewalks of a busy city, or biking or hiking on a windy day, you will appreciate this addition. Click on the demos below to listen to a comparison between headset performance without and with the WindGuard technology (at a wind speed of 9 mph): No WindGuard protection
WindGuard and the scala-500 At a hair more than half an ounce, the sleek and stylish scala-500 is one of the smallest and lightest devices available, but it still offers up to nine hours of talk time. An integrated speaker booster provides substantially higher volume capacity than is common with other headsets. Plus, echo-canceling technology alleviates those annoying voice feedback loops that are common with lesser headsets. An exchangeable ear-loop and eye/sunglasses attachment lets you place the headset where it's most convenient, while handy controls on the device allow you to voice dial, as well as to answer, mute, reject, and transfer calls. A charging cradle ships with the scala-500, offering fast recharging of the headset's internal battery. A carry sleeve is included as well, letting you carry the scala-500 on your belt or around your neck. And last but not least, the scala-500 is Bluetooth 1.2 compliant.
What's in the Box
