Motorola Wireless Headset HS810 - 98565

Inconsistant quality

Strengths: easy to turn on and off

Weaknesses: Not real durable, Defects

Summary: The first one I had lasted less than two years, but it worked well for me. I liked the idea that you flip the speaker to turn it on and off. You can carry it in your pocket without worrying about accidentally calling the last person you talked to like some other wireless headsets do.

The mouthpiece suddenly went mute and nobody could hear me when I spoke. Despite the short life and the defect; and the fact that my son had had the hinge on one of these break in the past, I ordered a new one. The new one arrived broken. The charger plug receptacle fell apart the first time I charged it. I sent it back to the vendor, who quickly replaced it. The next one I received was intact etc. but the volume was so low I couldn't use it. I gave it to somebody with better hearing than me and bought a different kind.

the HS810, excellent headset for the price

Strengths: Good signal strength, excellent in the noisy and windy conditions, power on/off determined by boom mic being opened or closed. Excellent audio. The charger can be used with motorola phones

Weaknesses: Big blue light may annoy some, never really sits tightly on the ear and may come into play when walking or jogging.

Summary: Basically what I have listed above. When it's folded up, it barely takes up any space (about 1.75 inches folded, maybe 3-4 unfolded). It's EXTREMELY light, you barely know it's there. Once you get used to positioning it, it's audio clarity is very sharp. It comes with a travel case and headstrap too and the charger can be used with other moto phones. I use it with a v710 and my one gripe is that it's a little harder to get the voice prompts to work with the headset. Also, the use of one multifxn button may confuse some. HEADSET VOLUME IS NOT A PROBLEM! Despite what others say. The headset is also adjustable for left and right ears and is a steal at about $50.
