Very Nice 
I’m pretty happy with the H710. I especially like that it’s “on ear” design as opposed to other “in ear” designs of other models I’ve tried. The fit feels kinda loosey-goosey but it hasn’t fallen off yet. Light jogging or standing on my head (yes, I did this), it feels like it’s gonna come off yet doesn’t. Sound quality is clear enough on my end and I’ve had no complaints from people on the other end.
I do wish there was a small hard-case available though.
My Favorite!!
I’ve owned a number of bluetooth headsets (Jawbone, BlueAnt x3micro) , including the H710’s predecessor, the H700. For me, comfort is the most important feature. Both of the Motorola headsets are among the most comfortable headsets that I have owned or tried. They could be worn for hours without a hitch. Voice quality is a close second to comfort, and the H710 doesn’t disappoint. I believe voice quality goes hand-in-hand with fit; because the other headsets that I mentioned were “in-the-ear” types, if you cannot get them to fit exactly, their sound quickly deteriorates. This is not the case with the H710, which sits “over-the-ear”. The earloop is barely noticable.
I knocked off a star for two reasons: (1) neither myself nor the party I was speaking with while using the headset could tell their was any realistic noise cancellation occurring, even though it was supposedly “improved” from that of the H700; and (2) Motorola changed the charger connector! The H700 has a mini-USB connector. I had a bunch of those mini-USB chargers laying around . . in my car, my office, at home. Well, time to toss them because the H710 uses an all together different micro-USB connector.
Be Aware - Disappointed - Motorola Design Change to Drive Accessories Revenue 
As a satisfied owner of the Motorola H700 Headset I decided to buy a “backup” and upgraded to the H710.
The H700 uses a standard USB mini power input - you can charge via USB port, or use a standard AC charger w/ mini USB. Great deal - my car charger charges my phone, my headset, kid’s MP3.
The H710 uses a different, non-standard jack. I guess Motorola needs the accessories revenue. Too inconvenient.
These headsets are identical in very other way - sole reason for change was to force accessories purchases
I have already tried every bluetooth heaset you’re thinking about buying, and this one is the best one! 
I own and have sitting in a box somewhere a Samsung WEP 500, Aliph JawBone, Plantronics Voyager 510, Plantronics Discovery 665, Jabra BT500, the older Motorola HS850, and some Sony Ericsson model that I don’t even remember. Crazy, I know. Also I have tried the Apple bluetooth headset (I have an iPhone), the Motorola H9 mini bluetooth, the Motorola slider H800, and the latest MOTOPURE H12 from Motorola. All of these have fit and/or form and/or feature and/or function issues that drive me nuts. The only one I ever use, and my favorite by far, is this Motorola H710 !!
Ever been frustrated because the volume of your headset was too low on even the highest setting, so you had to shove it deeper into your ear (defeats the purpose of ‘hands free’, I know) ?? Not with this sucker. This is the first headset that is actually *too loud* on the highest volume, so I keep it midway!! Wow. With all the others the first thing I would do is max the volume and never touch it again.
Ever gotten tired of holding down a tiny button for five whole seconds to turn your headset off and on? Join the rest of us. With this, you flip the voice boom open and it’s on in 2 seconds; flip the boom closed and it’s off just as fast. Brilliant. So easy. Have other companies seen this at all, I wonder? Can I sell this idea to Plantronics and Samsung?
Sick of gimmicky poor-fitting little custom eargels designed for f***ing Shrek or some other ear mutant? Yup, me too. Bypass completely with Motorola H710, and also skip the gnarly plugged-ear sensation before you step out in front of a semi truck coming at you from your headset side because you couldn’t hear it.
How about accidental calls? Did the bastards who designed the Samsung WEP500 ever even ONCE try putting that thing in their pocket? Is it some sort of unfunny practical joke? I was blissfully unaware that I was redialing whoever my unfortunate last callee was over and over all fracking day long, and leaving like 5 minute long mostly blank messages (ok, maybe some rustling sounds) all over the place. The accidental redial call is IMPOSSIBLE with this brilliant headset.
GREAT HEADSET!! BUY NOW AND CRAIGSLIST YOUR OLD ONE THAT YOU HATE!! Oh yeah, I gotta run–craigslist awaits! Now where did I put that box full of headsets?
Low Profile and Holds Tight
My new Mortorola Bluetooth H710 headset is just what I needed. Originally I went for the Mortorola headset because my wife had been using the previous generation H700 for over a year with good service.
My primary selection criteria was that the headset couldn’t be too big or robot-like and the Mortorola H710 continues the tradition of being a low profile headset. It also holds tight to my ear without looking like a large old-tech hearing aid. Overall a five-star purchase!
