Samsung HS850 Wireless Cell Phone Headset

Hi, I got the motorola hs850 headset for my moto ...

Posted May 9, 2005 - Hi, I got the motorola hs850 headset for my motorola v710 phone (verizon service provider) from pricegrabber. I have a couple of questions. 1) when i'm travelling in my car , i normally wear it in my ear .The design of the headset is such that you cannot open or close the boom without removing the headset from the ear. So the boom is always open when i wear it in my ear even thought i'm not making or receiving any calls. Is it supposed to be like that. Doesnt it utilise the charge, keep the connection always on because of that. Any comments on this . 2) Also i have a transflash card in my v710 phone from which i can play mp3. when i play on my mp3 songs , the audio doesnt come thro my headset. Do you know the reason, do i need to do any other setup. When i disconnect(close the boom) and play it through my phone speaker directly it plays fine. Any quick help/comments on these would be greatly appreciated as i can return it if there is any problem. Thanks, -sridhar

Motorola HS850 Bluetooth Wireless Headset

Posted Jan 4, 2006 - I purchased this product for my son who is a long distance truck driver. The handsfree feature for cellphone use is obviously a must for his use in communications with his dispatcher. The ability to hear through the earpiece was a concern for him, not met by other handsfree products. The Motorola HS850, however, worked ideally with both clarity of reception as well as tranmission and provided sufficient volume for him to hear clearly over outside road sounds. He was quite pleased, and I have since purchased one for my own cellphone.

So so

Posted Jan 23, 2007 - Battery life with the it turned off (boom closed) was about 5 days. Charge light stopped working correctly on the 5th charge. This unit might be defective and I am sending it back to the reseller for another one.

Posted Jan 22, 2007 - I don't know if this is a Europeon or Asian model, but when the box came in, it was different then the one I had before. I figured it was ok, so I plug it in, wait a day, and I try to use it. Didn't work, so I tried a friends phone. Didn't work either, so I try my sisters phone. No luck there, so I try my mom's...still nothing. To make it worse, a lot of the parts fall off, which makes me think that this one was counterfiet.

Don't buy it

Posted Jan 9, 2007 - Any money I saved, buying online has been wasted on shipping (for the purchase and the return) and I have nothing to show for it. I am still waiting for my credit from Shentech.

Poor Product

Posted Oct 24, 2006 - This headset broke almost immediately upon receipt of this product. It will no longer connect to either of my Bluetooth phones or even turn on. I am very unsatisfied and would like a refund.

Wireless Bluetooth Headset HS850-98656H

Posted Oct 1, 2006 - Once again I have learned the lesson that you get what you pay for. While this headset appears to be like the higher priced silver model it is far from it. The first headset I recieved did not function at all and the second one had poor volume and voice quality. After three days the boom became totally nonfunctional in the sense that it would not disconnect and all calls would be routed to the headset unless it was powered down. I finally gave up and purchased a silver HS850 from a local electronics store and it works great. This item is oiously manufactured for the Asian market since the packaging is different and all the instructions are in Asiatic text as well as english. Long story short, bite the bullet and go for quality rather than price.

These Suck

Posted Jul 19, 2006 - Horrible little creature. This is one of the worst purchases, I've made in awhile. I was buying this to replace an hs820 that I was pleased with. I purchased two of these and both stink. You buy one of these, you'll be using your phone to your ear before the week's out. Bank on it.

Wireless Bluetooth Headset HS850 - 98656H Review

Posted Jun 16, 2006 - Definitely not up to the standards I expected from a Motorola product. Design looked good and the features attracted me to this headset. I wish it performed as well as it looked.

Not as good as it looks

Posted Jul 8, 2006 - I use to have the jabra bt800 but I accidently broke it. I wanted to try something different but this motorola hs850 is not for me. The earpiece does not sit snug against my ear so if you turn your head it moves. It's not loud enough. In the car I can hardly hear. I'm at a point where I don't use it much. Would not recommend.

Huh? 10-9 Hang on

Posted Nov 26, 2005 - Unless you're dog-boy or like saying "huh" allot, buy something that works. I bought 3 after reading warnings about volume from others. You can too now. The best thing I got out of the deal was 3 extra chargers for our Motorola phones.

Pretty but not functional

Posted Nov 7, 2005 - I but this headset almost 40 days ago, perfect deal comparing to the store prices which runs around $100. The very first problem I noticed while using it with my Audiovox VX6600 was the static. Ofcourse I don't blame Motorola, the problem probably is my handset. Then I really don't like the loose placement of this device, somtimes I have to push it toward my ear to hear the other partys voice. I guess the main reason people buy hands free headsets is to have their hands free while talking :-)
