HS850

Pros: light with good sound quality. can find for less than $50 if you look.

Cons: not quite loud enough in some situations. INADEQUATE holster/pouch

Review: Got one with my phone at a discount and loved it. Great sound quality although a bit quite while on the road. It doesn't have quite enough volume to overpower road noise. Now for the real bummer. The little pouch that is supposed to be holster type ...

Pros: Set up easy, operates well.

Cons: Poor sound quality

Review: This unit is highly recommended and I would have to agree. The big drawback is that the volume is very low. I took mine back for a refund because I had a hard time hearing while driving in my car. I bought the Plantronics Explorer 320 for $50.00 and ...

Pros: Battery life, comfort

Cons: VOLUME VOLUME VOLUME!

Review: This is my first Bluetooth headset. The unit is comfortable, has a decent range, and the battery life is great. My only gripe with this unit is the volume. When I'm driving with the AC on I can somewhat hear, with the windows open on a nice day, I ...

Pros: Light, simple setup, good sound quality for user.

Cons: Unacceptable amount of reverb for "other person".

The Bottom Line: Not good enough for constant use. I would not recommend it and would choose to wait for something better to come along.

Review: This is part of an overall review of bluetooth headsets including the HS850, HB820 and Jabra BT250V. A friend and I tested using an LGVX8100 and a Palm Treo 650) Overall: Reverb/echoing seems to be a function of the mic picking up sound from the ear ...

Pros: looks good but bulky

Cons: very bulky, loose on ear, heats up quickly, background noise and echo

The Bottom Line: motorola customer service is horrible they are cold to customer needs and are unapproachable my friends very good experience with plantronix headset it specialize in headsets excellent customer support

Review: I had the motorola hs850 for nearly 10 months. 1) I have had trouble with the headset heating up after using for 10 minutes. 2) Even there was annoying background noise when the headset volume was increased. 3) The headset would hang off my ear and ...

Pros: Lightweight. Good sound, in the beginning. Very functional.

Cons: Echo. Wears out quickly. Echo. Not loud enough. ECHO.

Review: Don't get me wrong, Bluetooth is one of the greatest creations since the telephone itself. This headset will work just long enough to suck you in. After only a couple of months, I started getting more and more complaints about echo. I was annoying ...

Pros: looks nice, more 'sex' appeal than 820

Cons: poor quality, high drop rate

Review: I own both of them, and I'd buy the 820 over again a dozen times. The neat feature is the flip-out mic piece which helps save battery life, but otherwise it drops out the sound, and is generally very ...

Pros: Very compact design, boom "power switch" is nice, excellent battery life.

Cons: Action button seems to be half-broken, very poor volume, mic seems very poor too.

Review: I used this BT headset for 8 months together with a Motorola RAZR V3 phone. Finally decided I have to get rid of it and seek something better. The volume is just terrible. Also, I get a lot of complaints from the other side during conversations, ...

Pros: small, light weight, able to turn it off, directional boom, easy controls

Cons: not loud enough, controls are small and hard to find, can't shut off blue light

Review: The size and weight of this unit attracted me. Being able to turn it off by closing it is a great feature as well (saves battery). But then I kept trying to turn it up and it just doesn't get loud enough and it gets static even at close range. I wouldn't ...

Pros: It looks cool. . .for a bluetooth headset.

Cons: Can't hear out of it, nobody can understand you. It's bad.

The Bottom Line: This was one of the worst electronic devices I've ever purchased. I wouldn't recommend this headset to anybody.

Review: Holy cow, what a piece of junk! If you look at my other reviews, you’ll see that I’m usually pretty positive about products I’ve reviewed, but I just can’t think of anything good to say about the Motorola HS850. First of all, I use my cell phone ...
