Motorola HS850 Bluetooth Headset
Date Published: 9/21/06
The HS850 is a well-made mobile headset offering wireless connectivity with Bluetooth phones. The boom microphone flips down, engaging or hanging up on the call, which also saves on battery life. And this is the truly exceptional thing about the phone. Though it is only 20 grams total in weight, the HS850 delivers 8 hours of talk time or 200 hours of standby before recharging is required. This is far better than industry standards.
Otherwise, the HS850's microphone has excellent noise reduction and a sensitive microphone. Range is also quite good, with clarity still acceptable where Bluetooth generally lists as the maximum (30 feet). The only downside of this product is that the incoming sound could be richer. Overall, this is a lightweight headset that should please most consumers, especially those that talk for extended periods before they can recharge.
Pros: extraordinary battery life, lightweight
Cons: incoming audio a bit weak
