Cardo Scala 700 Bluetooth Headset

Date Published: 3/27/07

The Cardo Scala 700 offers very impressive performance and a few handy extras. There are two features that set the Scala 700 apart from other products: battery performance and a headset locator. While most Bluetooth headsets will give you a few hours of talk time and a few days of standby, the Scala 700 offers an impressive 10 hours of talk time and 240 hours of standby. Meanwhile, call clarity in both directions is quite good and you have the choice of six volume settings that are easily toggled. The headset itself is reasonably lightweight and comfortable to wear and the product can be paired with multiple phones.

The other exceptional feature is the headset locator. Simply making a call and pressing your phone's volume button will immediately buzz the missing headset. Adding this into consideration, the Cardo Scala 700 offers impressive performance at a reasonable price.


Pros: battery life, headset locator, call quality/volume
Cons: none
