Conforming to Bluetooth v1.2, the Motorola HS850 is at the forefront of Bluetooth headset design. Finished in black, with silver detailing, the 20g HS850 is superb to look at, as well as use. With the specification comes adaptive frequency hopping (AFH), which ensures that the connection with your phone is impeccable by shifting frequencies to avoid interference from other radio sources. The HS850 also delivers in the longevity department - an amazing 8 hours of talk time and 200 hours of standby time from a full charge a market leading figures, much like the rest of the HS850.

The Motorola HS850 Wireless Bluetooth Headset needs improvement in sound and for that major characteristic I cannot recommend this product.

Strength
Looks cool, great battery life and sound, very easy to use, innovative folding mic
Weakness
Possible size issue
Bottom Line
If you need a small, long-lasting bluetooth headset with great audio quality, then this is perfect for you. You might want to try it on before you buy though.
Cliche statement: I changed cellular providers, and as a consequence, had to get a new phone. After lots of research, it was determined that I needed a phone with both expandable memory and bluetooth capability. That being said, I ended up acquiring this...

This is my second blue tooth headset, the first being the Motorola H500 that I thought I had lost. I bought this as a replacement off of eBay, and got a good deal off of it. I had bought this headset by mistake, and realized that the H700 was the more...
Strength
Folding boom microphone doubles as on/off switch, better sound quality than H500
Weakness
The outside ear design may not fit all people well
Bottom Line
Good quality sound both ways, but may not fit all people's ears. Try the fit in a store before buying.
Although I try best to not use my cell phone in the car, it sometimes is hard to avoid when the call is important. Most people may know that it is very hard to steer with one hand, try to keep the phone up to your ear and shift at the same time. It...
Strength
Very easy to use, light, small, easy to answer calls
Weakness
Bad voice dialing, weird charger, bad battery life.

This is a great product, but the battery life isn't sufficient. The product is very easy to use. I would recommend this for anybody who wants talk while driving.
This is the first Bluetooth headset I've ever used. I'm happy with the decision! I hated untangling wires - I didn't realize how much I hated wires until I got this headset! It's really nice to be wireless! Not just from the standpoint of the wire...
