Motorola HS850 Bluetooth headset review

It never seems to fail. You are driving along and suddenly your cell phone rings. What do you do? If you know it is an important call for business or from a family member you probably pick up the phone and continue to drive. You may think you are driving safely with one hand on the wheel but in reality you are not. You are placing yourself and others in danger. The answer is remarkably simple. You need a Bluetooth headset and one that is making consumers sit up and take notice is the Motorola HS850 Bluetooth Headset.

One of the best features, or rather aspects, of the Motorola HS850 Bluetooth Headset is the battery. It has up to eight hours talk time on one single battery charge. And you can get double that amount if you are on stand-by. Hopefully, you will not be on the phone that much but it is still nice to know that you have a battery that is going to see you through your important calls.

Another aspect that users find quite nice about the HS850 is the fact that it reduces background noise. So you can be driving with the window down and still be able to communicate back and forth with your caller. Motorola has also taken care of the on/off ability by creating a headset that turns on when you flip the microphone boom down and turns off when you flip it up. This helps conserve that battery life mentioned previously.

There is one technical detail that you definitely need to pay attention to though and that is the technology that it supports. The HS850 only supports Bluetooth 1.1 and 1.2 compliant devices. With so many new phones coming out on the market that are Bluetooth 2.0 capable, you might find yourself with a phone and a headset that are not compliant with each other. Before you buy the headset, make sure your phone can support it.

Price is another issue you may find with the Motorola HS850 Bluetooth Headset. On the website www.amazon.com, it is listed for $35.50 but another online retail store, www.antonline.com, has it listed for $89.49, so you will definitely want to shop around for the best price. All in all, most users are very happy with this Bluetooth headset and there are few complaints.
