Waiting for a milestone? Sorry but not here.
Strengths:Range, on/off feature, easy setup, weight, battery life, device compatibility, size, volume controls work well
Weaknesses:audio quality, connectivity issues sometimes,
Posted Feb 20, 2007 - Bluetooth Headsets are coming a long ways while getting cheaper. I bought this model at a Radio Shack for $49.99 while retail is $99.99. I also purchased a warranty because you never know what might happen. Anyway on with the product; I found this product to be light weight and non cumbersome. When used with voice dialing it seems to miss some sounds sometimes. I really like the flip feature of the boom to disconnect the headset from your device. I’m sorry I am using this headset with a Motorola V3m Product Red Phone. Easy setup! So easy that after the initial setup you can memorize how to set it up. I was bouncing it between mine and my wife’s phone in the car. I found the audio quality wasn’t as good as the Radio Shack sales person was touting about. When it comes to the “Shack” I should know better though. The Range is awesome. I had my phone in my basement while I was in the kitchen upstairs and the device did not lose the phone. One of my issues is that the HS850 does not have a USB mini charger like the H500 so I can not use it with the Motorola SKN6222 Bluetooth Adapter Charger “Y” Cable for RAZR V3 and H500 headset. So I have to go back to two different chargers instead of one and no more hooking my headset to the USB-mini computer cable for a charge. Only reason I say that is because I hate using more outlets than I have to.
I believe that Bluetooth will eventually find its place when the audio is crystal clear and the battery life will last for weeks rather than hours (talk time) and days (stand-by time). For now I believe that this is a good starter headset if you can find one for under $39.99. Thank goodness for Priceline!
Did you find it helpful , unhelpful, or inappropriate?
