User Ratings and Reviews
1 Star Junk
Let me start off by saying I am not a negative person. I have thoroughly enjoyed using Amazon up until this point. I saw this headset and liked the price, saw that it was a Motorola, so I ordered it, thinking I got a great deal. Well, when it came, it looked used and after I plugged it in, it didn’t do a thing. I had it plugged in to charge for a half hour – nothing. So, giving Amazon the benefit of the doubt, I asked for a replacement and sent the first one back. The second unit came and it looked worse and also didn’t do anything when it was plugged in. So, I’m not sure if they’re aware they’re selling used junk or what but they really need to pull these off their “shelf”. They’re garbage. They’re even too light to make decent paperweights! Needless to say, I sent the second one back and asked for a refund. I guess the hunt continues…
5 Stars Great Headset for $20 – Paired with Sanyo Katana II
Works great paired with my Sanyo Katana II; I can’t see how a $100 could be too much better.
It is not super comfortable, so if you want to wear one all the time (ie. “The Borg”), I might try some on at the store.
4 Stars Excellent buy
I used to have a Motorola H700, but lost it. Bought a Jawbone replacement, which was a complete waste of $100 (I’m not reviewing Jawbone here so I won’t go into details). I always liked the way the Motorola H700 fit on my ear so I shopped around ’til I found this one – the HS850. Looked like a good deal, and it was. People would tell me, with the H700, there would be delays in the transmission – they would say something but there would be a delay in my response. It was their biggest complaint. Once I had the HS850, I asked if they heard the delay, they said no. They tell me it sounds clear, and I hear them clearly. It IS a loose fit on the ear, but that’s what I like. It goes on/off easy, so I don’t have to leave it on my head. If I’m expecting a call, I may wear it until the call is completed. But if I’m not wearing it when the call comes in, it’s easy enough to pick it up, turn it on, and put it on my ear. No fighting with snug ear loops and putting something IN my ear. NOTHING goes into the ear canal (yay!). And unlike the Jawbone, I can always tell when it’s turned on or off – the mic boom is open, or it’s closed. Very simple, easy to use. Love it. I prefer it over my $100 Jawbone ANY day.
4 Stars Great Headset
I used the original HS820 for years which was a great headset. This HS850 seems to match the quality of the original HS820 — not the cheaper ones rolled out later — with added convenience of the boom for on/off function. Sound quality is good and device connection is very easy. I’ve connected it to my Treo 680 and Blackberry Curve. I take this over the smaller dysfunctional brands or models any time.

In regards to the above, please be advised that the above bluetooth 1. not new. 2. can barley hear the caller at the highest valume. 3. there was a double order for the above , which I called customer service and advised them that I was billed 2 times for the bluetooth and was told to refuse the second delivery and I would receive the credit for it as of today May 29,2009 no credit whice has been over 2 weeks I have send your customer service an e-mail to this effect with no response. That left a bad taste in regards to amazon.
