 "Hard to hear when driving...." | 2008-08-27 |

| I pair this headset with a MOTO Q. No issues when pairing the headset and works fine however I wouldn't recommend this headset if you drive a lot and there's a lot of background noise while driving, it's hard to hear; if I can't hear the other person, they can't hear me unless I speak up. In a quiet room, works fine but I mainly purchased this headset for when I'm driving. |

| It works just fine. The head set is extremely light but also a bit large and therefore feels cheap and like it will fall off your head any minute. I'm concerned about it's longevity and practical functionality. Light can be great but not if the thing is flapping against your head. I'm a much bigger fan of the H700 series or better yet the H710. Much better device but you'll pay more for it. |

I purchased this as a gift for my husband, and I have to say we are both very impressed. No echo, great charge life. 99% of the time when he calls me using the blue tooth I can not even tell it is on. Sounds very crisp and clear.

Well I am on my second HS850 - the first was a gift and the second I bought to replace the first one whose batteries I had exhausted. Well I ordered the black one from a vendor on Amazon (the order confirmation even said black) but when it arrived it was silver and I was pretty disappointed. To make this short the vendor never responded and Amazon did a good job of refunding me the cost and since the vendor did not respond I kept the item - well it is great, just like the first one.
* No one can ever tell they are on a headset
* I used the first one to death and it was so comfortable that I was more than willing to get a second one just wanted a new color to change it up
* Not only does this pair effortlessly with my cell phone(s) but it works great with Skype and my home cordless phone system (Uniden ELBT - This is a great system that I do not think is made anymore but the handsets can be paired with a BT head set so you can cook dinner, do dishes, etc. and talk)
* Well after the let down of not getting a black HS850 I wound up getting a H700 in royal blue - this one is signfigantly smaller than the 850 but the audio clarity is not quite as good (that is my only complaint) however I use this one solely with my cell(s) in a rather noisy car (sports cars are just that and far from a luxury liner)
* In the house the H700 wins simply because it is smaller and easier to use/gague the battery status (has a led that changes color) - the sound quality is fine as long as I am not driving around.
* Both are easy to pair with my cell, laptop/skype, and home phone system so no complaints there - the only quirk seems to lie in one of my cell phones - the BT needs to be reset (soft reset of phone) sometimes to make the BT connect.....
* In the end I like the H700 for its smaller size and slightly easier use but in the end both are great products; the HS850 tends to be a bit heavier on my ear after a while but the H700 is tighter so both rub or are weighty after awhile on the phone but other than that no complaints about either though I would probably go for the 700 next time I need a new one. |

The product arrived on time but was defective. I was unable to pair it with my blackberry or my motorazr. The unit would not shut off even after the boom was closed. I emailed DBroth who asked me to get in touch with customer support in Motorola. There I went through the trouble shooting steps and was advised to return the product.
The service was prompt though and refunded my full amount paid. |

I've had this thing for a few months and almost love it to death. The voice quality is good, people hear me very well. It is light, great battery life, and overall a good headset.
I have a BlackBerry and never got much from voice dialing, until I got this headset. Dialing numerically or by name works great. Getting the status on your battery, coverage, etc was spotty, but considering it didn't work at all on the previous headset says a lot.
The things that detract from it getting 5 stars are the reversible ear lobe gadget can come off if you are not careful. My dog almost had a crunchy treat as it fell off onto the floor a few times. Also, due to the ear lobe gadget, the piece doesn't fit snugly against my ear. That causes me to have to hold it close by hand sometimes with a lot of ambient noises around. Although the other party could hear me fairly well.
The only indicator that the juice is low is degrading call quality. I wish there was an indicator light for that. Although charging goes by pretty quick. |

| Good buy for the price paid. I purchased one for each of my children and they like them. They both complained about the fit but sound quality is very good. |

| i had the h700, which as it turns out is lighter and more streamlined, i thought the product would be super light and barely visible on the ear...but is is a bit bulky for a blue tooth piece for the ear...i would check for lighter products... |

I have this set for a year or so. It works well till date.
But the plastic part close to volume button cracked and broke, which is very close to ear hanging loops hinge. Used the crazy glue.
Lets see how much long it holds on. |
