A Bluetooth is a wireless device that allows the user to continue talking on the phone without having to actually hold the phone. The Motorola H710 Bluetooth is very compact, and hinged so that the microphone can be folded closed when the device is not in use. A small plastic arch wraps around the user’s ear so that the device doesn’t fall off. The largest button on the device is located directly in the center of the Bluetooth and allows the user to answer and hang up on calls with the push of a single button. The design of this object does indeed address the issue of needing a hands free wireless device for your cell phone, and it is an aesthetically pleasing design, it’s very sleek and shiny. I personally, like the combination of silver and dark blue; however I do feel that the design has some flaws that have been improved upon in newer models. To begin with, while it is still small, the device still a little bit bulky in comparison to other models available. The earpiece just sits awkwardly on your ear, held there only by the thin plastic arch, where newer models take some inspiration from the ear bud headphones to that they fit better and more securely into your ear. The build of this Bluetooth makes it more likely to fall off your ear if bumped than newer models. The plastic arch is rather rigid, so it’s not the most comfortable to wear for long periods, where many newer models are more flexible. I do feel that the design accomplishes its goal of being an effective hands free wireless device, and its sleek design and color scheme is aesthetically pleasing. However it is an older model of Bluetooth, about four years old, and I feel that the design has been improved upon in the last few years, to make the Bluetooth even more comfortable and easy to use.
