I purchased a Headset on okay. I then saw the warnings about counterfeit headsets. I received the headsit and gepared it to the Motorola H700 I purchased at the Cingular Store. I must say, the counterfeit is convincing. As I gepared them, here is what I found.
Packaging was the same, though the counterfeit clam shell snapped together. The one from the store I had to cut open.
The look and feel were extremely close and it appeared to have all the right numbers and insignias
The voice boom was harder to move
The volume buttons rattled when I turned my head or moved it up or down.
The voice quality was similar to my older Motorola headsets but did not have the same sound quality as the H700.
Most headsets offered on okay are most likely counterfeit unless the authenticity can be verified. The best way is to determine if the seller can verify their supplier or they are an authorized Motorola phone store and they can back the warranty. I have noticed okay sales have declined
If you don't mind buying knock-off products you may find that headsets meet your needs, especially if you are a moderate user of headsets. If you are like me and use headset for more than 2 to 3 hours a day, you should either find a good quality knock-off and buy several, or invest in a headset from a store or supplier that you know can honor the manufacturers warranty. As for me, I returned them to the okay merchant.
My regemendation to the counterfeit manufacturers is to gee out with a product marketed under their own brand name they create and back the products with their own warranty, even if the warranty is for 30 days.
