Plantronics MX153-M1 Mobile Headset For MotorolaStrengths: Clarity and Features Weakness: Only comes with one spare sponge foam cover for earpiece. Can you hear me now? Good! I'm no headset geek, but I like what I hear out of this thing. Definitely way better all around audio quality than the the handset speaker and it's comfortable to boot. I have a Motorola v265 phone and this is the only headset I found that offers one touch operation by pushing the button on the cord to answer/end calls, and operate the voice actvated commands without touching or opening up the handset. Push the button once, and name dial, by saying a stored name, or digit dial, by just saying a string of digits in one continuos sequence, and you're connected! You can also access voicemail, redial, and a calls received list without touching and/or opening the handset through this feature. A lot safer driving as far as I'm concerned. 100% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Plantronics MX153-M1 Mobile Headset For MotorolaStrengths: Extrememly high quality microphone. I was very surprised how clear my voice was to to others. Weakness: Odd fit. Not at all uncomfortable, but unusual. The quality is quite high - for the price, it is fantastic. It is a bit odd to have the headset clip under the ear, not at all uncomfortable, but needs a bit of getting used to. I left myself a few voicemails and was blown away by the quality. At this price, hard to imagine anything better. 67% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Plantronics MX153-M1 Mobile Headset For MotorolaStrengths: Comfortable with glasses, send/end button compatible with Motorla phones, affordable. Weakness: Difficult to put on while driving, wired. I bought this headset for $18 from buy.com. The MX153 clips onto my earlobe. You get used to it quickly, and more importantly, it doesn't interfere with wearing glasses (some of the other brands, such as Jabra, go over the ear). The other main advantage is a button on the cord which allows voice dialing from my Motorola V710. I couldn't find any other non-Bluetooth headsets with booms that had this feature.

Plantronics MX153-M1 Mobile Headset For MotorolaStrengths: Lightweight, comfortable, and reasonably priced. Weakness: Weak microphone, possible flaw in "end call" button Excellent service and shipping time from Upgradesource.com. Takes a little time to find a comfortable position where the earbud doesn't move around and the clip doesn't pinch your ear but once familiarized it's fairly comfortable and secure. I have to speak a little louder than usual for people to hear me with this boom mic. The on/off or answer/send button only seems to work in answering the phone but not ending the call. Instead, when pressed it will re-dial original call or take me to "recent dialed calls" menu. I've followed the Moto T720's manual to no avail in getting the "end call" feature to work. I'm going to experiment a bit more before decidedly saying the button doesn't work as advertised. I'd be happy to hear from anyone who's experienced and/or solved the problem.

Plantronics MX153-M1 Mobile Headset For MotorolaStrengths: Works as expected. Able to answer or end call with one touch button. Weakness: no volume or mute control; Sound quality is very good for both listening and speaking. Although easy enough to use, ear grip does not feel strong enough for stability. I am able to keep it on for an hour or more without any discomfort. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Plantronics MX153-M1 Mobile Headset For MotorolaStrengths: Small, Stays in Ear Weakness: Microphone Positioning for Others to Hear Mic has to be in just the right spot, or others can't hear very well (a few people have said they couldn't hear me well). Can't seem to get the button to work for voice activated dialing. Not a bad product, but you have to work to get it in the right positions. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Plantronics MX153-M1 Mobile Headset For MotorolaStrengths: Clarity & Comfort Weakness: Volume Control Not Adjustable A quality, comfortable, clear sounding, headset. Can't beat the price, available from the Price Grabber link as low as $21.97 delivered. I like the fact that the Answer/End Call Button accesses features with the phone closed, unlike the M150 model. Volume seems adequate so far, but need further testing under extreme conditions to fully evaluate that feature. All in all, very good quality and value accessory which I would highly recommend to enhance safety and convenience, particularly for the road warrior. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Plantronics MX153-M1 Mobile Headset For MotorolaStrengths: The ear piece is comfortable to wear and has good sound quality. Weakness: none I had previously owned the MX150 model of this brand and am very happy with the MX153. It operates just as well as the MX150 model but with an added feature of a voice operation button that can be used to operate a voice command in starting and ending a call.

Plantronics MX153-M1 Mobile Headset For Motorola
Strengths: Clarity,Comfort,noise reduction,adjustability
Weakness: No volume control on the headset. Does not work well with earrings, my wife wants a different model.
I have been using Plantronics headsets for a number of years and this is the best model I have used yet. The hook over your ear is gone. There are no parts to loose. The sound quality is excellent along with the noise cancellation. I don't know how they get the noise cancellation to work but it does. I have used other brands (Jabra) but they don't compare to the quality and comfort you get from Plantronics. Years ago I had the ear clip on a Plantronics headset break I called the local distributor about the problem and they sent me out a replacement part free the next day. I am sold on there customer service.
