I really love the Motorola Elite Sliver II, but it has a fatal flaw - it breaks apart too easily at the top centerpoint. The original Motorola Elite Sliver I did not have this problem, and held up MUCH longer. Of course, I love the charging clamshell charging case, because it hold two full charges for the earpiece, but I find the newly-added USB connector on the earpiece to be useful, because I don't always want to carry around the charging case, so that's a nice plus. I also find the sound quality to be reasonably good. The volume range is great - it goes from very faint up to very loud, so I don't necessarily need to set the earpiece volume at maximum. A new feature on the Motorola Elite Sliver II is the adjustable length of the swivel arm on which the earbud is located. Good call! Now, Motorola would just solve that weak connection point...Read full review

This is my 4th Elite, including the 1st gen that was my first. They're great compact headsets with great sound, but the join where the two pieces come together is a weak point, and I don't get more than a year out of them before they break. And that's OK; if durability was that important, I'd get something larger. But this time I tried to save money on a refurb and got fair value. Sound to the earpiece is fine, but outgoing sound over the mic is intermittently unacceptable, which is completely unacceptable. I can't use it for calls if I'll not be understood half the time. I've learned my lesson and will buy new in the future.

I’ve had this product before, new and it did very well. The weak spot is in the elbow of the unit. Mine did break and I super glued it back together and used it for another 8 months or so before it finally went bye-byes. (So you do have to be careful with it) It doesn’t help that you have to twist the lower arm in order to turn it on/off so it does add strain to the elbow. I bought this refurbished one and I can only get just over 2 real hours of talk time, despite on full charge it says up to 4. My brand new one I had did give me 4 Hours. It is clear. People hear me clearly, I hear them clearly so the quality is there. If you’re around a bunch of noise, it can be challenging to carry a conversation, but if you’re driving with the windows up as I do, conversations are perfect, no issues. I like that there is no extended boom mic on the unit, like the Plantronics Voyager Legend, although that unit is an awesome unit as well, I enjoy something a bit smaller but because of the stress it puts on the elbow, it makes it less durable and you need to be ginger with this unit. I switch between the Voyager Legend and this because the noise cancelling is better on the Plantronics and if I’m on the field around a bunch of noise, the Legend does work better with its triple mic, but in less noisy environments or quiet office surroundings the Sliver is awesome.Read full review

I really like this earpiece. Good talk time, very comfortable, and easy to set up. The only drawback is the quick wear and tear. Since you have to turn the piece quite a bit, it gets very weak and starts to break apart. If you can, keep it facing the same direction and charge from the bottom instead of the carry case. That will limit the twists/turns and prolong the lifespan. This would be the perfect headset if it wasn’t for this tidbit.

We have used this product for years. It's comfortable and works well with my Samsung phones. Only one problem is the twist and turn on and off switch. As with any moving part, it eventually gets weak and breaks.
