Had significant issues with 2 different of these units. Lots of echoing, lots of background noise and it died after about 2 months. The insert they give you for your ear is crap and continued to fall off.
Operating the buttons also takes some getting used to. Charging from usb is easy and the charge holds a long time.
Virtually no static up to 9 feet from paired macbook pro. Pro:Excellent reception.
The gel piece can easily be omitted. Normal outgoing voice quality.
Comfortable either with or without gel piece. Con:Not very easy to put on, takes some getting used to (not terribly difficult either).
Cant say anything about outdoor or in car usage; have not tried yet.Longer term usage is also unknown for me.Conclusion:Recommended so far.
Also, it comes with two of them, so if you're a germ freak and you ever share your headset, you have an alternate ear piece. The earpiece is very comfortable and adjustable.
Setup was easy and straightforward. I don't usually play for more than 3 hours at a time and it's never died on me.
I only use this when I play co-op on the PS3. away and around a corner, it does cut out.
No one has complained about the sound quality of my voice. The range is fine since I don't sit too far from my TV, but if I go down the hall, maybe 25 ft.
I also like the rubber cover you can put over the earpiece as it adds comfort. Because of the over-the-ear design, the mic essentially sits under the earlobe and I was worried that it would be too far from my mouth, but it actually picks up my voice just fine.
This headset is easy to use and sounds great, but if you have small ears, it falls off when you bend over.
The headset broke after a few weeks of gentle handling - the earpiece literally fell apart when I picked it up one day. I bought the BT5020 based on its' Best Buy recommendation from Consumer Reports. I'm very disappointed with my decision. Absolutel junk. I'm going back to Motorola.
