I use a Motorola H500 BT head set with my BB 8700C. When I call people on it they tell me to shut off the dot matrix printer in the background. I have used this head set on my wife's Razr and it was perfect but on my 8700 and an earlier 7100 it is bad. If I use the wired headset that came with the 8700 no real problem.

I have 2 questions; 1: Has anyone else had this problem and how did you correct it if you did. and 2: Can anyone recommend a BT headset that does not have the static problem.

Hi,

1. I have the same problem with the H350 on my BB 3700c... and have not been able to rectify the problem... it also gets worse if I am moving my BB around such as holding it in my hand as I open doors etc. It is slightly better if I hold it a few inches away - kind of defeats the objective!!

2. I'm also looking for a good replacement!

I just returned my brand-new H500, for exactly the same reason. I actually got the same request about turning off the printer!

Replaced it with the newer H700 ($100), which has a noise cancelling circuit. Works MUCH better.

I had a similiar problem with the H500 BT w/ my 8700g; but, more significantly, the earpiece wouldn't properly fit around my little ears (guess I'll need cartlidge implants I returned it and purchased the Nokia BH-200 BT Headset and absolutely love it! I have not had any problems with static, background noises, etc..and my callers state that it has very clear reception. Also, the price is much more affordable ($40 @ Best Buy)
