Motorola HS850
|
|
| Overivew | |
| The HS850 had a sound that was more toward
the tenor end of the scale with less bass than other headsets. It was
clear and had sufficient volume on my end. It sounded better to the
other party when used on the 7250 than did the BT800; especially, in a
noisy environment. It was comfortable to wear but tended to flop a
little. I would say that it could work for a couple of hours without too
much of a problem. The folding boom mike is its biggest plus feature
with it acting like an on-off switch. I could not recommend it for
either phone after 2 weeks of usage. Too often the other party
complained of having difficulty in hearing me or understanding what I
was saying. It appeared to be nicely made and looked very nice in shiny
black.

| Results | |
| Comfort was very acceptable and it worked ok with glasses. Build quality was typical Motorola and seemed solid. In a quiet environment the sound was good but not great. It was primarily in a noisy environment that it failed. The noisier the worse it got. Once in an airport waiting to get my luggage and away from the luggage belts I tried to have a conversation with my wife and she hung up on me because she couldn't stand the noise and garbled speech. I liked that it came with a belt pouch and a neck strap giving you flexibility and how to carry it. | |
| Conclusion | |
| The bottom line was that I could not recommend this unit. The price was around $99 which is on the high side and for that price you expect outstanding performance. Too bad, you don't get it. Maybe with some other phones you get what it promises but not with the BB7100t or BB7250. | |
