3 Star Review black HS850

Strengths:

Small, Light weight, Clear & loud enough sound

Weaknesses:

Cheap-looking plastic

Posted Sep 13, 2005 - I bought this for my Moto black Razr V3. They pair very well. Whenever I turn it off and on, it easily reconnects to Razr V3. It sounds clear and loud enough although sometimes my friends are telling me that they cannot hear my voice. Anyway I am satisfied by the most functions.

4 Star ReviewI really like this headset and prefer it over the ...

Strengths:

Bluetooth works flawlessly with motorolla v551 phone. Hands free options work great and sound for the person being called is good and plenty loud. The battery life is terrific.

Weaknesses:

Have to speak fairly loud for voice recognition. The volume on the headset is a little weak if there is alot of road noise but this is not a big problem

Posted Feb 28, 2005 - I really like this headset and prefer it over the jabra bluetooth set. It is very comfortable and easy to take on and off. I set it on the console in my truck with it off and when the phone rings I open the boom and put the unit on. By the time I have it on the headset answers the call (on about the 3rd ring). I would recomend this headset to anyone looking for a good bluetooth headset.

Strengths:

Size / Form Factor, Flipping open boom microphone quickly connects to bluetooth phone and also answers the call

Weaknesses:

Hook based headset doesn't fit well on my ears. Sound volume was too low on motorola e398 phone even when set to highest setting (but was plenty loud on a Blackberry 7290)

Posted Feb 7, 2005 - I used the HS850 and also the Jabra BT250 on and off to compare the two devices. The Jabra was definitely the more comfortable and stable unit when worn on the ear. The HS850 buttons were easier to press and use while worn. Aside from the volume issue (dependent on which phone you use it one), my only complaint with the HS850 is the fit on the ear.

Strengths:

1. Black color and the blue light are very eye-catching. 2. Flip mice is a great feature and allows a very long standby battery life. 3. The ear loop is comfortable and easy to attach to your ear.

Weaknesses:

1. The echoing of your voice makes this product unusable. 2. The device did not feel secure when attached to my ear. 3. Callers complained of a tunnel like sound.

Posted Feb 16, 2005 - I was very excited when I received the HS-850; the color, flip mice, and the size are great features. The reason I'm going to return the device is because of the echoing of my voice. The echoing of my voice is so annoying that I will not use the device and have started the process to return the HS-850 Headset. I was also unhappy to hear that people I called, or those who called me, complained that it sounded like I was speaking from within a tunnel.

Strengths:

Convenient, quick auto-connect, good range, sensitive microphone, Bluetooth 1.2, long battery life, Black color

Weaknesses:

Less effective in noisy surroundings, volume is reduced for the receiver when compared to direct use of phone, need to talk louder for voice dial

Posted Jan 10, 2005 - I have used a Plantronics headset before and I found this one more convenient to use and it connects more easily. It auto-connects well with my phone on opening the boom, maybe because my phone is Motorola as well. I recharge every night and haven't had it run out of charge ever. The piece I received seemed to have been packaged for Asian market since the manual and packaging used Chinese/Japanese in addition to English. The packaged adapter is unusable in the US, but a US adapter was separately included. Overall, very pleased to own this headset. I had done some comparison with other headsets in terms of technical features and comfort before making this purchase. I paid $94 + shipping for this.

Strengths:

loud and clear.

Weaknesses:

The ear hook should have steel wire inside so it can be stayed to the shape of smaller ears.

Posted Mar 21, 2005 - I have owned this for two months so I can have a very thorough review. The unit is very easy to pair with the Motorola model V80. The one nice feature is it will beep when the phone receives weak signals.

Strengths:

Long Battery Life, Clear Reception and Range

Weaknesses:

Sits rather loose on your ear and feels like it will fall off even though it stays in place.

Posted Mar 4, 2005 - I would recommend this model over any of the previous Motorola bluetooth headsets, based on battery life and connectivity. It uses BT 1.2 which filters out a lot more wireless intereference.

Strengths:

Works great, and very easy to setup and use. Phenomenal battery life!

Weaknesses:

Manual doesn't say much about how often to charge the batteries-- I don't want to wear them out.

Posted Feb 21, 2005 - This headset works really well. I am talking to friends and colleagues who say it is the clearest headset and signal they've ever heard me talk to them from. Many people don't even know that I am on a headset. I highly recommend this device, and I got a superb deal at pricegrabber.com

4 Star Review Functionally excellent, but mechanical reservations.

Strengths:

Connects/disconnects from V3 Razr very quickly and reliably. Remarkably good voice pick-up given distance of mic from mouth.

Weaknesses:

A colleague with the same unit has had to RMA his after it began to exhibit scratchy sound. The soft rubber surround to the earpiece also ripped after being in his shirt pocket for a few weeks.

Posted Jul 13, 2005 - Overall an electrically sound design but I have worries about the mechanical strength of the mouthpiece hinge and have evidence that the soft parts near the earpiece tear with little provocation. I would like to see readily available replacement soft 'plastic' parts. The blinking blue light while it is on the ear draws needless attention. I don't understand why MOT feel their consumers want to draw attention to themselves like this. At best is it a distraction, at worst it is an advertisement of something valuable, portable, and accessible to steal.

Strengths:

easy setting, battery duration

Weaknesses:

sound quality

Posted Apr 15, 2005 - In general a good product but the sound quality was so bad that I had to return it. I had a sonyericsson H-602 that was loosing bleutooth link every 25 minutes, so I change it for the Morotal HS850 because I thought there might be a compatilbity issue with my V600. With the HS850 I didn't experiment any bleutooth link disconnection and I really liked the "enable/disable" feature activation when you flip the boom. BUT people were keep asking me to repeat and I got complains at a point that I was forced to return it. The voice quality was bad even when the headset was in an arm distance from the handset.

Strengths:

No cord between phone & headset, long battery life, light weight, good range.

Weaknesses:

Doesn't fit well on either ear, takes too much time to make it fit well enough to use, sound muffled at receiver's end, can't dial numbers that aren't already programmed, lousy in noisy areas.

Posted Mar 19, 2005 - Nice gadget to have but too much hassle to use. Surrounding sounds are muffled when wearing it causing a sense of imbalance especially while driving. I wouldn't want to wear it while not actively using it -- and that defeats it supposed convenience. If you want to try something like this, get the HS-820 instead (now costs about half as much as the HS-850).

1 Star Review Terrible headset

Strengths:

looks, folds in nicely

Weaknesses:

Terrible reception and range, cheap plastic parts

Posted Jul 1, 2006 - I bought this thinking that with a Motorola phone their headset would be the best in terms of compatibilty. Boy, was I wrong !! It looks cool and is very ergonomically designed but that is about it. When it comes down to what it is supposed to do, it is terrible. Very poor range (I have to hold the phone about 5 inches from the headset for it to work smoothly). If the phone is any where more than 5" from the headset, I can hear all kinds of cracks and pops. Over 3' and the phone loses signal with the headset entirely... I decided to go with the plantronics L510 instead (far far better in all respects than the hs850). What a waste of money and time !!!

Strengths:

small and easy to use! Uses the same charger as my phone.

Weaknesses:

poor signal when i move away from the phone. My Jabra had better distance.Sometime it drops the call.

Posted Mar 6, 2005 - THis bluetooth headset is ok. Looks nice. But doesnt perform as well as my Jabra. Sometimes when I receive a call and i try to answer it thru the headset, it wont. So I have to answer it on the phone itself. All and All I think its just ok for the price i paid for it.

Strengths:

good battery, comfortable, easy to sync with phone, light, flip boom on/off switch

Weaknesses:

poor volume, noise, cheap controls, confusing alerts

Posted Mar 1, 2005 - This should be a much better product. Motorola had time to do it right and didn't quite make it. My biggest complaint is volume, especially while driving. At MAX I can't hear the other party when there is any ambient noise at all. I often drive my pickup and the headset is unusable- different story, of course, in my car. There is also the problem with distortion - I get popping and clicking often that is very annoying. I'm using a BT 1.2 Moto phone and the problem occurs in different setting so it doesn't appear to be related to interference from other sources. The buttons are cheap and you can't be sure you actually operated them because they give no positive feel. Another annoying feature is the tendency of the headset to emit beeps for no apparent reason - still can't figure that one out. Overall this is a "shudda been a contenda" headset instead of a clear winner. I'm sending my back.
