 Good Headset, like it!,
29 May 2005
I love this headset, I even brought a second headset for my husband. User friendly, easy to paired up with other phone. I have no problem with the battery life. I had my first one for more than 2 years. That is why I am buying another one. Strongly recommended to other people who is planning to buy one. Make sure you fully charged before you use it.

Great Headset,
23 May 2005
I've been using this now for about a month and I am very happy with it. Quality is good and I haven't had any problem with loudness or battery life. I'm using it with a 7520 Blackberry.

 Works well, but poorly made,
22 May 2005
It works great, but the plastic is flimsy. In about 8 months the first one had cracked in several places. After receiving a replacement from Motorola (since it was still under warranty), the new one lasted just a few weeks before plastic started chipping off (on the hinge where the boom flips out). It's great as far as technology and functionality, but it's really poorly made. I'm not even going to both trying to get another one from Motorola. It's not worth the trouble for such a poorly made device.

Battery life??????????????????????????????????????????,
15 May 2005
An eighty dollar headset. I did all the research and was impressed by battery life etc. But when we talk about battery life we should be talking about how long it lasts also. Well I bought it in September 04 and it is May 2005. It doesn't work anymore and I take care of my things. When you spend your $80.00 remember it is a disposable headset. I did use it though and that's why I gave it 2 stars.

Great Headset, Did Research,
13 May 2005
I purchased the HS810 after much research and I am using the headset with my Motorola v551, no complaints. The setup wasn't too difficult and once it is configured, all you have to do is flip it open and you are connected. Reception is great, volume also excellent and the range extends to about 30 feet. Also, the battery life is excellent, I can use it for at least 4 hours without charge, on average I charge it once or twice a week, wish I could say the same for the v551. I know two others with the headset who also like it. Highly recommend it.

 Pretty decent toy,
06 May 2005
I got my V551 so I could use the Bluetooth with my computer and went looking for a headset since I already had the Bluetooth. I checked reviews all over the web and most were positive. I've had it for 1 1/2 months and the only issue I've had is during two different calls it seemed like the volume was lower than it should have been. I have it turned up all the way since I have a convertible and the road noise is pretty bad. Normally works pretty well. Would be nice if it were louder on the highway but it's fine in stop and go or city traffic or walking around.

Missing Merchandise "In Box",
29 April 2005
What's in the box [WAS NOT all there!]: Motorola HS810 Bluetooth Headset, Neck Strap, Travel Charger, Carry Case, User Manual, and Quick Start Guide.
My order did not have a Carry Case or Neck Strap and it is unclear to me how to report this back to Amazon. Their process of communicating with them about an order is seriously flawed.
Also, when I ordered this item I also ordered two car chargers. The promise date was changed significantly without Amazon telling me or sending my HS810 ahead [since it was in stock] and absorbing the extra shipping cost, since the problem was one that they created. I placed my order on 4/11 and it arrived a few minutes ago [4/28].
Amazon's Quality Assurance and Customer Service have dropped significantly in the last year and I will look seriously for other vendors who have a higher customer service level and who deliver what is offered without the hassle required for the customer to get what they ordered in a timely manner.

Good Build quality, Clear Reception, Great Deal,
20 April 2005
I recently purchased this headset through Amazon.com and I have been very pleased with it's performance. I can leave the phone on my bed and speak from my bathroom over 20 feet away. The headset feels solid and is very light weight. It fits my ear well and hasn't ever fallen off. I was afraid to buy it beacuse of the 2 reviews written by people who siad they purchased it and it broke; however, i highly doub't this headset will break if you handle it with care. Of course if you mistreat any product it is going to break, but i believe that this is one of the sturdiest headsets i have ever used and feel that it will last a long time with proper care. The audio quality is perfect and I have not heard anyone tell me otherwise. I am using this product with the Motorola A630 so your experience may be different from mine.
Overall, I belive this is a good wireless purchase and recommend it to anyone who is looking for a stylish bluetooth headset and has $60 they are willing to spend.

 An okay, somewhat overpriced headset,
18 April 2005
I purchased this for use with the Motorola v551 phone as a hands-free headset. I have no problem synching the phone and the headset, and it's only dropped calls once or twice. sound quality is fair...it's nothing good enough to play music over, but it's clear and I can understand what people are saying.
Unfortunately, the unit feels very flimsy...it's light and made of plastic. The ear clip pinches if you use the headset for any length of time. It uses a series of beeps to communicate everything, which can be confusing...did that series of beeps mean I have an incoming call, or that my battery is running out? There are two buttons for volume and one button for...well, everything else. Answering and hanging up are pretty simple...just push the button. Accessing any of the other functions requires button morse code. It is difficult to get he unit into it's belt holster, which tends to fall off your belt.
Ovaerall, I'd say this is a serviceable unit, but it could use some design improvements.

I've been using it for 4 months,
30 March 2005
I bought this headset about 4 months ago, and am using it with a Motorola V710 with Verizon.
Pros: I love it, but it fits me well. It pairs quickly and easily with the phone, and the standby time is great. I charge it every couple weeks. The sound quality on both ends is very good, as long as you're not in the wind. In my car most times people don't even know I'm on a cell phone. I like the design of the earpiece, because I can wear it and sunglasses at the same time. I don't even notice it's there. You probably couldn't say that about the ones that put all the electronics behind the ear. Big Pro - The blinking light on the side shuts off after 5 minutes of inactivity.
Cons: There's a big blinking light on it that really attracts attention, and it continues blinking the entire time you're on a call. The Blink is particularly distracting in a car at night, because it's fairly bright and you can see it in the rearview. It doesn't fit small ears well. I wanted to get one for my wife, but when she tried mine it kept falling off her ear. When you're in the wind, the other party can't hear you and you can't hear them. It's not good for outside use, just because of that. Biggest con - the battery life on my phone is cut in half when using bluetooth, so even though the standby is 100 hours on the HS810, you better have a plug or extra battery close for the phone.
All in all, I love it. When I'm in a hotel, car, or home I plug in my phone and wear the headset all over the place. You can place and receive calls as long as you're within 30 feet of your phone, and the other user has no idea you're on a headset. Well worth the money, unless you plan on using it outside.
