Samsung HS850 Wireless Cell Phone Headset

Do not buy this headset if you are wanting to use ...

Posted May 3, 2005 - Do not buy this headset if you are wanting to use it with the Treo 650. If you do, the headset take about 8-12 seconds to connect and most people will hang up by then. I thought it was the headset but after dumping the new Treo and getting a Motorola A1000 phone, I can say, "I love this headset!". The convenience is immeasurable. Touch the button on the side once for voice-dialing, automatically answer your calls, and drive and work with both hands while talking. My phone never stops ringing. Before I had to put my customers on speakerphone so I could continue to type, install network equipment or pull network cable through some business's drop ceiling. Now, my conversations are private and I don't have to interact manually with my phone. The only caveat I have with this headset is it's power saving features. Through anecdotal evidence, myself and others have issue with the headset going into some sleep/power saving mode. On occasion, the headset will not pick up a call unless you press the button on the headset - very infrequent and minor inconvenience. Also, it is so natural to wear that you forget that you have to have the mobile phone with you. I'll leave it on my desk while in the middle of a call and by the time I reach the other end of my home or office, I'll remember I don't have my phone with me because the sound quality starts to fade - but we're talking waaaaay more than 30 feet. If I had to buy another one, I'd get the same model.

Posted Mar 18, 2005 - I have an 810 and purchased this 850 for my wife. It is a better unit than the 810 in that it is clearer and it holds a charge much longer. My wife uses her 850 at work and wears it almost all day. It is comfortable for her but so is the 810. They are both good products and if one needs a longer charge on the unit, the 850 is the one to purchase.

Posted Feb 10, 2005 - No one on the other end realizes I'm on a headset. Very compact, light, and well-designed. I purchased a Euro version and use my v551 charger since I live in the US. Had no problems. Note that if you use this with a BT v1.2 device, the call quality and battery life will drastically improve for not only the BT headset but also the BT phone.

Posted Jan 27, 2005 - I am impressed with the range of this headset. I own several Bluetooth devices and the range on this headset when used with my phone (Moto V710) is better than the range I get from anything else (computers, PDAs). I can also connect the headset to my computer to use as a mike and speaker, but the range is diminished. In short, a great headset that I unhesitantly recommend.

Posted May 22, 2005 - I have purchased 2 of the motorola 850 headsets. They definitely work as advertised. I bought one for myself and was so impressed, I bought one for my boyfriend. We can talk for hours with no drop in signal strength. I have a motorola v551 and the headset does drain my battery. My boyfriend has a motorola razr v3 and it does not seem to affect his battery as much. I recommend this product to anyone who talks on their phone alot. You will not be disappointed.

Posted Jan 22, 2005 - Overall I am very happy with the purchase. I have tried almost every product on the market and find this has a nice balance of features and comfort. Every product is a compromise. This one has the fewest of them.

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.

Posted Feb 1, 2005 - Over all I am very pleased with the perfomance of this earpiece. Especially if one is a Motorola user you won't need to buy extra chargers because all the accesories compatible with the phones can be used on the earpiece. Design is not only stylish but also very comfortable to wear. Controls are easy access and simple to use.

Posted Feb 7, 2005 - I love this little headset. Its so convenient, especially w/ voice dail! Sound quality is pretty good even when driving w/ windows down, altho I wish the volume is a bit louder. The flip that doubles as power on/off is a great feature cuz it cuts power waste. And it pairs up w/ the phone very quickly, even in the middle of a call. I am finally beginning to like Moto products...

Posted Jun 15, 2005 - Great product. Makes your life very easy, if you are constantly on the go, and have to drive and take calls at the same time. Highly recommended.

Posted Feb 10, 2005 - Anyone who owns a bluetooth compatible phone and hates earpieces that sit directly in the ear, should invest in this fine Motorola product. No one does it better than Motorola.

Posted May 3, 2005 - This thing is great I have seen 6 hours talk time. The sound is better than a wired headset. It is very comfortable to use.
