Amazon.com Hands-On Review

The Motorola HS850 is the company's update to their HS810 headset, one of my personal favorites. The changes made to produce the new HS850 are few, but the effect is relatively substantial. But first, let's start with what is the same.

Like the HS810, the HS850 makes use of a body design that employs a folding microphone boom. The folding microphone boom acts as the on and off switch, as well as just providing a convenient way to make the headset smaller and more pocketable when not in use. When a call comes into your phone, you can turn on and answer the phone at the same time just by unfolding the microphone boom. You can end the call and turn it off by removing the headset and re-folding it. Using the headset in this way conserves battery power, since no battery juice is wasted on standby time - time where the headset sits around waiting to be contacted by a mobile phone or other compatible device. The physical design of the HS850 and the battery savings it imparts is my favorite aspect of the Motorola HS850.

Of course you don't have to remove and turn off the headset between calls. If the headset is already on when an inbound call comes, you will hear the ringing come through on the headset and can answer it by pressing on the main multi-function call control button. You can end the call with this same button, and adjust volume levels with the two volume buttons. If you are using a phone that supports the Hands Free Bluetooth profile, then you can also use the call control button to reject an inbound call or redial the last number.

The HS850's audio properties are also like those of the HS810 before it. The audio quality in both directions is very clear and understandable, but sounds a bit thin. You and the party on the other end of the call will both be able to understand each other easily, it just doesn't sound as full and natural as it might with some other headsets. The HS850 makes up for this small lacking by having great resistance to wind noise, though. That makes the headset perfect for people that enjoy driving with their windows down, or those that work outside. Most headsets are very susceptible to wind noise, the HS850 bucks that trend.

And now for the new stuff. First up, a more powerful battery. The HS850 I tested managed an amazing 7 hours and 50 minutes of talk time. That is a full two thirds improvement over the older model. The truly amazing part is that this new battery life didn't come at the expense of added weight. Like the HS810 before it, the HS850 weighs only .7oz (19.9g).

The next major change perhaps sounds more important than it worked out to be in reality. The HS850 supports the newer Bluetooth v1.2 spec, whereas most headsets support v1.1 only. Motorola claims that when used with a v1.2 compatible phone (there are still relatively few available at the time I write this), the HS850 will be able to connect faster, use less battery power, and offer improved audio quality. While I can see what appears to be a slight improvement in connection speed, I haven't really noticed much of a change in battery life or audio quality.

The last major change is purely cosmetic. The new HS850 headset is blue-gray in color, like a darker version of the HS810's color. I find it more attractive than the light silver found on the HS810.

But regardless of the color, you can't go wrong with Motorola's HS850, which I consider to be perhaps the best value on the market.

2 out of 5 stars Battery life ~40 mins for mine.......2007-09-23

I probably got a defective HS850, but its battery life is really short. It needs to be recharged even when off (after about 3 days sitting there it's flat), and the talk time is 40 minutes tops. After what I paid for this when it just came out (August '06), I expected far more from a Motorola product. Sound quality and connectivity to my LG CU500 is fine, though. I wish it had a mute button---I'm replacing the headset, and it's one feature I will be looking for.

1 out of 5 stars Disappointment.......2007-09-21

I was extremely disappointed to find when I purchased this item that it did not work. As soon as I plugged it in to charge it never took the charge, on top of which the seller tells me to return the item ( not offering to pay for the cost of returning it )and they would replace the item, the reply to my initial complaint took 3 days, I wouldn't say I would not recommend the item, but I would not recomment the seller

1 out of 5 stars Motorola HS850 Bluetooth Headset.......2007-09-17

I received a Motorola HS850 Bluetooth Headset a couple day before, but it
did not work at all when i used it first time. Then I request it,but Amazon still did not respond to me.

2 out of 5 stars Not what I expected from Motorola.......2007-09-17

I have to say that this was a big disappointment. This is my first bluetooth headset and if this is the way they all are .. its not for me. It seems to be fine for me and I am able to hear people very clearly but others say that I am very broken up, almost like a bad speaker phone, where parts of the words are missing. I would think twice before purchasing this item due to this problem. I have a brand new phone and had it checked out and they said it was the headset. It might be just defective or maybe this is normal who knows. I will have to try others to be convinced on this bluetooth technology.

1 out of 5 stars Leftover.......2007-09-14

Seems like for the good price, you get the leftover gear. They sent me a left-handed set...which can be switched around, but the buttons are reversed. Also, the battery life is terrible and it just cuts out in the middle of conversations even though the battery still has charge in it...usually just after charging. I think for this price, we're getting the factory rejects.

5 out of 5 stars Works for me!.......2007-05-29

I have found the HS815 to be comfortable and reliable. And the price was fantastic!!

4 out of 5 stars Great for the price..........2007-05-16

Even though this product seems a little outdated in its appearance, I have been pleased with it. It was good for the price. I use it in the vehice and when I am in my apartment. It frees up my hands to drive and also to multi-task at home. Some of the reviews complain of not hearing on it very well. That was a concern of mine when I bought it, but I haven't had much trouble with the hearing it at all. There have been only a few times. Other than that, it fits on the ear pretty well (although this is my first bluetooth product). Overall, I have been pleased.

1 out of 5 stars Poor Product Not Worthy of Your Money.......2007-05-06

Unreliable product, unfortunately.
The on-off switch to the Bluetooth is wildly inconsistent, sometimes it will work and other times it won't. Sometimes it won't turn off no matter how many times you press the "off" switch. I put this piece of junk away and will buy a better, more reliable piece.

4 out of 5 stars pretty good purchase .......2007-03-25

I've been using the device for three months after I broke a Scalia headset. The device pairs quickly and easily to my RAZR V3. It is a bit difficult to get the thing on my ear at times but once it's on it stays there. The sound quality is okay, not as good as the Scalia. I've never been told in all the times I used it that I could not be heard. So I guess the microphone works well. Overall, for the price, it's a great purchase. You can spend more for others and probably get better features and reception but if you only need it while in the car or when shopping it's well worth it.

3 out of 5 stars Anacrónico.......2007-03-20

Básicamente el auricular es bueno, el problema es que corresponde a una generación de celulares descontinuada. El cargador vigente es el mini USB y este auricular emplea la entrada anterior de Motorola por lo que nos obliga a traer 2 cargadores portátiles y dos para el carro. Por otro lado, es bastante más grande que los de modelo reciente y algo estorboso.

4 out of 5 stars Great for the price.........2007-03-26

I just bought this headset last month and I had a few complaints, BUT was able to work them out on my own. The headset did NOT fit comfortably on my right ear, but fit like a glove on my left. Weird, but it works. The other complaint is that sometimes I don't want to wear the headset and leave it in my pocketbook, and when my phone rings it automatically connects to the headset. Not a major issue. It's great for the price and cute too :)

3 out of 5 stars Good, but could be better..........2007-03-12

The headset is good for answering wirelessly and not being tied to the same location as the phone. It's easy to setup and turn on/off. However, I sometimes hear popping noises and others complain that my voice isn't as clear as it could be. In addition, when the phone isn't in use for a period of time, it seems difficult to get it out of standby mode. Overall, it's decent and has made answering the phone a bit easier, but Motorola should still work out the kinks.

5 out of 5 stars I'M IN LOVE WITH MY BLUETOOTH.......2007-03-12

There is nothing I don't like about this bluetooth. The color is great, even better than I though it would be. It is more a light blue grey. The setup was very easy. The bluetooth is very comfortable, it fits well over the ear. It makes it very easy while walking around or using your hands to do other things while talking. Everyone I talk too says the sound is great and they hear me fine they can't beleive I am not actually talking into my phone. I would recommend this hightly to anyone who wants a cordless bluetooth. I wanted to get a red one but this was $20.00 less on amazon and I am so glad I saved the money.

2 out of 5 stars Disappointed to say the least..........2007-02-22

The H500 was recommended to me by the Verizon salesman who I now think was just trying to get me in and out as quickly as possible. I must be one of those people who's ear this thing just doens't fit right because I can't get it to stay put. It wobbles around like its going to fall off and drives me crazy. The volume is fine when I hold it against my ear but I prefer not to have to walk around looking like a Secret Service agent. Definitely try it on before you buy.

4 out of 5 stars Well Pleased.......2007-01-25

Headset was a little confussing to use at first, but it works very well.
Now that I have used it a little it is so easy & convenient to use.
so glad that I made this purchase.

Product Description

Motorola Wireless Headset HS850 is a superior Bluetooth 1.2 headset offering premium wireless experience with faster connections & better audio quality.

Amazon.com Review

The Motorola HS850 is the company's update to their HS810 headset, one of my personal favorites. The changes made to produce the new HS850 are few, but the effect is relatively substantial. But first, let's start with what is the same.

Like the HS810, the HS850 makes use of a body design that employs a folding microphone boom. The folding microphone boom acts as the on and off switch, as well as just providing a convenient way to make the headset smaller and more pocketable when not in use. When a call comes into your phone, you can turn on and answer the phone at the same time just by unfolding the microphone boom. You can end the call and turn it off by removing the headset and re-folding it. Using the headset in this way conserves battery power, since no battery juice is wasted on standby time - time where the headset sits around waiting to be contacted by a mobile phone or other compatible device. The physical design of the HS850 and the battery savings it imparts is my favorite aspect of the Motorola HS850.

Of course you don't have to remove and turn off the headset between calls. If the headset is already on when an inbound call comes, you will hear the ringing come through on the headset and can answer it by pressing on the main multi-function call control button. You can end the call with this same button, and adjust volume levels with the two volume buttons. If you are using a phone that supports the Hands Free Bluetooth profile, then you can also use the call control button to reject an inbound call or redial the last number.

The HS850's audio properties are also like those of the HS810 before it. The audio quality in both directions is very clear and understandable, but sounds a bit thin. You and the party on the other end of the call will both be able to understand each other easily, it just doesn't sound as full and natural as it might with some other headsets. The HS850 makes up for this small lacking by having great resistance to wind noise, though. That makes the headset perfect for people that enjoy driving with their windows down, or those that work outside. Most headsets are very susceptible to wind noise, the HS850 bucks that trend.

And now for the new stuff. First up, a more powerful battery. The HS850 I tested managed an amazing 7 hours and 50 minutes of talk time. That is a full two thirds improvement over the older model. The truly amazing part is that this new battery life didn't come at the expense of added weight. Like the HS810 before it, the HS850 weighs only .7oz (19.9g).

The next major change perhaps sounds more important than it worked out to be in reality. The HS850 supports the newer Bluetooth v1.2 spec, whereas most headsets support v1.1 only. Motorola claims that when used with a v1.2 compatible phone (there are still relatively few available at the time I write this), the HS850 will be able to connect faster, use less battery power, and offer improved audio quality. While I can see what appears to be a slight improvement in connection speed, I haven't really noticed much of a change in battery life or audio quality.

When it's all said and done, you can't go wrong with Motorola's HS850, which I consider to be perhaps the best value on the market.

2 out of 5 stars Can you hear me now?.......2007-08-04

My boyfriend and I each got one of these in the hopes that it would end our search for a good bluetooth headset. We thought, cool design, good price, Motorola... Didn't quite work that way.

We both agree that the unit is relatively comfortable, and the flip-out boom is a neat feature - makes for a very small unit when not in use. The buttons are also easy to use, and pairing is simple. Having the boom flip be the on/off is also a nice feature.

Unfortunately, the thing that really matters - sound - isn't there. Even in my luxury SUV, I can barely hear anyone at freeway speeds, with the volume at max. He's got a sportier (read: noisier) SUV, so he can hear even less. We also both feel that fit has a lot to do with this. I, for one, ended up pushing the thing up against my ear, which improved the volume. The earpiece won't hold the unit in this position, though.

So, both units will be going back where they came from this weekend. :(

5 out of 5 stars Great Product.......2006-12-27

I have had an HS810, which has been replaced with the HS850, for 2 and 1/2 years. It is still works great. I am a heavy user, and almost never use my actual phone to talk. Now the rubber part of the earpeice is falling apart. I also have 2 small children whom sometimes handle and play with my earpeice. It has been misused and abused over the years. The range works well. Once I was in my bedroom when my phone rang and I finished my conversation and realized my phone was in my car in the garage. I would say it was at least 30ft away. I only wish the HS850 wasn't so big. I guess the H700 is the perfect fix for that, however I tried it and have gone back to my HS810!!

5 out of 5 stars Motorola HS850 Bluetooth Headset.......2006-11-11

This is an outstanding bluetooth headset. It connects immediately with my Motorola RAZR cell phone. What I like most is that the arm is the on/off mechanism. Open the arm and the bluetooth turns on and connects. Close the arm when you're done and it turns off. This is easier than the Motorola 500 headset.

3 out of 5 stars good item but WRONG color!.......2006-08-01

I ordered this product from Amazon and they shipped me a gray one! This may sound really high maintenance but when I order a product that says black headset...I expect a black headset.

However, the headset works well.

1 out of 5 stars HS850 - Terrible.......2006-07-07

The Motorola HS850 is one of the worst built pieces of equipment that I have ever encountered. We bought 4 units as a trial for our field personnel: 2 of them arrived with faulty boom switches, one had a failed power supply after a week, and the other 2 had faulty boom switches in less than a month of use. The mechanism that switches the device on and off via the boom is flimsy and if not highly unreliable immediately, it will become so after moderate use.
Our technical department had the displeasure of repairing one of the headsets and were disgusted by the build and design quality.

I'm not the kind of person who usually writes products reviews, but wish I had read a review like this before I ordered the Motorola product.

Needless to say we will not be buying in this Motorola product for our staff!

Two softly pulsating blue LEDs signal when the headset is in use.

While I can see what appears to be a slight improvement in connection speed, I haven't really noticed much of a change in battery life or audio quality.

The last major change is purely cosmetic. The new headset is sold in this very nice black color and is also available in blue-gray, like a darker version of the HS810's color. I find both colors more attractive than the light silver found on the HS810.

But regardless of the color, you can't go wrong with Motorola's HS850, which I consider to be perhaps the best value on the market.

After a week the headset would hang up while I was talking, also it would dial out for no reason, I use to own a HS850 before it got stolen from me, this one here I threw out the window a couple days ago. I think it was refurbed

the company is good. product as specified, but shipping is a little pricy. With the low original price, the total with shipping is more than reasonable. would do business with again.

3 out of 5 stars Not rating item but buying options.......2007-08-17

As a purchaser, I can tell you this is a tricky item to buy, since it is often bulk-packaged, its price varies greatly and there are even counterfeits. I clarify I'm not rating the headset (thus I give it the average rating, 3 stars) but sharing my opinion on buying it. Uneasy, I bought 8 on July 11 from Amazon/Etronics and when they arrived I was relieved because even though bulk-type they were acceptably packaged. I ordered 2 more On July 24. Then I had to order 2 more on August 2, but the same item was now supplied by Amazon/DLN Enterprises; I had no choice and ordered. Then I had to get 3 more on August 8, but Etronics was listed again, so I ordered again. Today I got both orders (we're overseas) and to my dismay, even though the product is basically the same, there were big differences in packaging and contents:

Etronics: Blister generic packaging from Verizon Wireless with headset, ac charger, manual and a bonus car charger.

DLN: Envelope bubble mailer with identical headset and ac charger, but only a one-page instruction sheet and an useless Motorola booklet, "important Safety and Legal Information". One of the two headsets had a little piece broken off (not a critical piece but still ... so much for bubble packaging) and, strangely, both were set for left ear use.

Conclusion: What you get varies greatly from one supplier to the other.

Wish: That actual pictures of true content and presentation were mandatory by Amazon from its suppliers, at least for this type of "bulky" item.

I know this doesn't say a thing about the HS850, but still hope this is useful in your buying.

1 out of 5 stars Don't buy it.......2007-08-08

Reception is very poor. There is lot of background noise. Its hard to hear that well while driving, i cannot hear my music that well. Sound is not that loud. I own this bluetooth for a year now and i hardly use it because of its poor quality. CERTAINTLY DONT RECOMMEND IT.
