Motorola HT820 Bluetooth Stereo Headset

Date Published: 3/13/07

The Motorola HT820 Bluetooth Stereo Headset provides excellent audio performance for both phone calls and music. Because the headset's speakers cover your ears, the device is somewhat clunky, but the sound quality more than makes up for this. As long as your phone supports A2DP (which allows for high-quality audio streaming), the HT820 headset lets you listen to music from your phone or your PC. The headsets work under a regular profile as well, but quality suffers.

The HT820 also has a decent microphone for making and receiving phone calls, but noise reduction is only adequate. Meanwhile, the battery provides around 17 hours of talk time and about 500 hours of standby. Overall, the Motorola HT820 Bluetooth Stereo Headset is a good purchase for audiophiles who favor audio quality over telephone features.


Pros: excellent incoming audio, stereo
Cons: microphone, clunky
