Earpiece shreds after a few months, sound is very spotty and noisy-lots more complaints from callers than previous headset which had noise and wind cancellation.

Only feature I like is folding mike to save battery.

use for bizz looks good durable needs better sound and signal

Not impressed with the rubber coming off the ear piece. It feels like it could fall off. Very hard to hear the person you are talking to and they cant hear you well.

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST HEAD SETS I EVER HAD

I've had this bluetooth for a year and and the rubber on the ear starts coming apart. Do plan on going very far from this bluetooth either, it has the worst signal of any bluetooth item I've ever owned.

Have used many different "head sets" over the years. This one is, by far, the best. You forget that it is on your ear...so light, so comfortable.
Sound quality is excellent, both sending and receiving. Not so sure about the 30' though. 10' away is more accurate, but I keep the phone in my pocket, anyway.

Headset works well when you first get it. After awhile the moving mic boom wears out. You start getting drop calls, hang ups, and it starts calling people in your recent calls list randomly

Nobody can hear me when I use this headset. Sometimes they complain that I'm muffled because the mic has somehow maneuvered into my cheek, and sometimes they complain that I'm breaking up. I spent way too much money and totally wish I'd stuck with a wired headset.

out of four bluetoothes this is my 2nd best one- the thing that made not return this one is it's functionality- it cuts on and off with the flip of its mic, takes three way calls, clicks over, clicks over and ends other calls, and has a redial feature, it isn't a bad fit once you get use to it- at first you may not like it but after two days it okay, the signal strength is excellent but with my samsung sync, the clarity could be better meaning there is a lil static- not enough to be irritating- which both me and the other person can hear

One of the primary marketing pushes for the HS850 Bluetooth is the foldable boom mike. The problem is that when the mike is folded it pushes tightly up against the flimsy rubberish earpiece membrane. After a few weeks of use, the earpiece membrane was permanently folded down where the mike hit it each time I turned the unit off. Remember, closing the mike was another reason the marketers said to buy the unit.Now, the membrane has torn away from its base, after six months of casual use. Furthermore, the section that is now exposed, where the earpiece used to be attached, has revealed sharp, serrated plastic. It's like putting a plastic knife up to your ear when you put the HS850 on.If that sounds reasonable to you, buy one. If it doesn't sound reasonable, don't buy one.At the time I purchased mine, it was quite expensive. Sorry, Motorola. It should last more than six months.[...]

this is a great bluetooth

Sound quality started to deterriorate after about 1 month of use, sorry I purchased it, had a Plantronics before did a great job, excelent overall, wish I could say the same for this Motorola Bluetooth....

Really like the foldable boom and the weight of the headset, which makes it comfortable other than it feels like it's going to fall off my ear. Biggest two complaints are that you can't do anything with it on or it will fall off and had volume maxed out and still couldn't hear that good in a quiet vehicle.

This is the best headset. I love it. Very easy to connect. You can fold it and it saves battery. It is great.

The best headset ever!!! I have tried another motorola headset(H500)and couldn't hear cause the volume didn't go up higher. I even tried the jabra BT800 and liked the sound quality, but couldn't hear in the office. I then bought the HS850 and love it!! The sound quality is awsome and like all motorola headsets it was easy to pair to my V3 razr. Even with the volume not all the way up i can hear people very well in every situation, and they can hear me just fine. This is the best headset that i have owned and reccommend it to every one. The price is a little high for a headset that has been on the market for a while, but i like it anyway. The battery life is great and so is the talk times. Also i like the fact that it beeps in your ear to tell you that you phone isn't is service. That is just great!!!!

Got this unit for christmas present, ear hook is too short, feels very uncomfortable and always feels like it is going to fall off. Rubber speaker shroud falling off already 4 months later. Not worth the price.

This headset was fine when I purchased it about 2 yrs ago. Then the membrane around the earpiece came off. Then the one of the hinge ends broke off. Bluetooth is great. But this product is not worth the money.

This is a great Bluetooth! My only problem with it is that sometimes it can have a little static in the background but you can still hear them. Out of all the one's I had this one is the best. Worth the buy!!!

This product works great. It is easy to pair, sound quality is good, features are nice, and talk time is great. It is a bit larger than many of the headset on the market now...it was not when I acquired it. It does get uncomfortable if you are not used to wearing a headset, or if you do not know how it is supposed to fit on your ear. Overall, this is an above average product.

Frequency response setting tends to pick up more bacground noise than audible voice. Microphone location next to face seems poor. Disappointing product for the money with poorly designed circuitry for voice pickup.

I acutally work at radio shack and I have tried literally every single headset we have had in and honestly this is my favorite awsome sound and very comfortable and the boom for turning on and off is really handy.I highly reccomond this product!

I have had static trouble out of all the motorola Bluetooth headsets I have used I am satisfied with the way this one functions

I can barely hear anyone on this ear piece and vice versa. The instructions that came with the device is not that useful, I wish the store would let me trade it in for a different one, one that the callers can hear me on without yelling at them, it does not even fit my ear comfortably, it's a mess.

I've been unable to pair this with my phone since I bought it - only the salesman can do it. When calling from my house I'm unable to hear if I go outside or move around. I'd love it if I could turn it on and hear better.

what a terrible product! i can't hear anyone with it unless they are almost yelling. it makes my voice echo, and if you are a man and don't shave every day, the microphone makes scratching noises in the other person's ear constantly.

This bluetooth is the best and Is way better than the H700. I bought 9 of these bluetooths tne (HS850) for my employees and they have never complained about them once!

i ilke my Bluetooth Headset

I love the convenience of the earpiece..Especially when driving..I like the idea that you can answer the phone without opening the razer..I highly recommend this for anyone that receive calls while driving..

This is a great device except for the fact it doesn't last for much over 1 year. It is a lot of money to pay for a device that doesn't operate for very long.

Once paired up with my Motorola E815, it is a no brainer... turn it on and it works. Sometimes receiving a call while still on another call may not work totally correct, but I think it is more operator error than a hardware problem. I am very happy with this product.

Very buggy when used with a Sony/Eric S710a. Try something else. Both Sony and Moto support no help in resolving many issues.

Very light and user friendly. Sound quality is great and you can increase volume from both the headset and the phone. A good choice and reliable too!

I liked the weight of the headset, but it never felt totally secure on my ear, and after less than a year, it broke. I pulled it apart and the battery cable connection was faulty so I couldn't fix it. Also, it was hard to hear much of the time.

The only problem i have is that he volume isn't loud enough. Battery life is very good.

I have had multiple headsets, and this is by far the worst. Poor design for volume, and highest volume is far too low in most environments. Finally, regardless of how good I got at wearing it, it would still fall off with the slightest movement sometimes.

The main reason I got this headset is because I had another one and every time I charged it I had to reconnect it to the phone. This one I don't, just open the mic and go. The sound quality is also good. I talk to my mother who is very hard of hearing and wears a hearing aid. She always had trouble hearing me while on the phone but she has no problems hearing me on this headset.

The man reason I bought this headset was to listen to my mp3's on my phone, but sadly you can not hear your mp3's, nor hear my v cast.

I LUV THIS BLUETOOTH! I bought this Bluetooth and it works wonders! It works so good that one day I got out of my car and I left my phone in the car and my bluetooth on my ear without my phone! Works good for when you are in an activity and cant hold your phone to your ear like while cooking, cleaning, or driving!

I LUV IT!!! I purchased this bluetooth to use with my Sony Ericsson phone and it works great. It was easy to set up, easy to put on and easy to use. I would recommend this to everyone I know

I bought this headset to work with my Samsung A900. I'm taking it back because the volume doesn't go high enough - I can't hear very well at all in a quiet room, let alone driving in the car. Also - I wish Motorola would have put a little spring on the hinge so it wouldn't fall off your ear.

Great headset, I recommend it to anyone with a bluetooth phone.

Not bad if you are in a quiet room. Maximum volume is too low. Device will fall off if your reaching for something or move too quick. The only good thing is that my clients heard my voice clearly.

I purchased the Motorola HS850, and I must say that I could not be more satisfied with the product. It's lightweight, convenient while driving (or performing any other two-handed task) not to mention stylishly worn in the work or social setting. Definitely recommend to anyone looking to go hands-free wireless!

This has been the best investment I've made. Coupled with the Motorola V3 RAZR, this headset provides the best wireless communication available. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone!
