Positive Review

Reviewed by: mfretz33 on 10-Mar-09

Strengths: Excellent battery life. Good sound. Music and phone controls on ear pieces.

Weaknesses: The neckband is a bit flimsy. I had a pair of Samsung headphones designed the same way. The neckband broke near the ear pieces after a few months. Only time will tell how long these last.

Summary: These are more comfortable than other behind the neck style headphones I've owned(Insignia and Samsung). This style of headphone tends to dig into the side of my head(maybe I just have a big head). I wouldn't say these are perfect, but much better. Also, an on/off toggle switch would be nice, opposed to holding down a button for a few seconds to turn on an off like this model. Overall, they're the best bluetooth headphones I've owned.

Strengths: Crazy low price, easy to use & great sound quality.

Weaknesses: Can be a little uncomfortable if used for a long time, but this is minor all things considered.

Summary: I was really just looking for a pair stereo bluetooth headphones. But these work as a hands-free headset as well. The controls are straight forward and easy to use and the sound quality is great. Battery life is very good too. The headset can get a little uncomfortable if worn for a long time, but it's not real bad. They are a little bulky, but the size is ok. I bought from Original Wireless and headphones come wit a carry bag, charger and cable to use them as a standard set of wired headphones too.

Strengths: Excellant sound quality

Weaknesses: Not adjustable to head size.

Summary: Best money I have ever spent. The sound is very good for both the listening of incoming transmissions, and voice sending quality to the receiving person.

Strengths: Excellent sound and mic, plenty of buttons and functionalities.

Weaknesses: Not the perfect ear/neck adjustment, but good enough.

Summary: I was really impressed with the sound quality. Loud and clear. It seal nicely the ambient sound. It worked fine when I was 40 feet away from my Treo. Easy to pair with other devices. I did not so far manage to connect to my PC though. I recommend it. Very nice price. Excellent product.

Strengths: Wireless, lightweight, holds a charge longer than expected

Weaknesses: One size doesn't really fit all

Summary: I use these headphones whenever I'm commuting. I wish they were comfortable enough on my large head to wear them longer, but I still like them.

Reviewed by: mimas01 on 06-Aug-08

Strengths: Decent sound quality, fairly confortable, excellent battery life

Weaknesses: A little bulky, volume does not go high enough.

Summary: I use these daily at the gym. They are comfortable, and did not break after 3 months use, so I got a second pair just in case. These are the only pair of bluetooth headsets out of 4 that I had that didn't break or were unusable for one reason or another. Never had a problem with pairing them, connection breaking, etc.

Strengths: Sturdy construction and controls...great sound

Weaknesses: Takes a while to get used to putting them on, getting hair out of the way (woman's haircut)...and I could see how they could split because of the inflexibility of the band if one stretches it too far.

Summary: I absolutely love my HT820 wireless headphones for what I bought them - walking and running outdoors and at an indoor track. They don't fall off my head (as long as my hair is moved out of the way before donning them on my ears); their construction is such that I find them comfortable even wearing them more than a couple of hours at a time. The controls feel very sturdy. (I'd tried the new, red Motorola Motorokr S9 headphones and felt, though the most comfortable of all wireless headsets I've worn, the controls seemed like they would not be long-lived and did not work all the time.) The controls on this headset work every time I press them. The only time I do not find them to be comfortable is when I'm sitting back in a chair, watching a movie on my smartphone; for that someone would need an over-the-head band on a bluetooth device. (I tend to use wired ear buds for movie watching as I'm not moving around and don't find the wires cumbersome for this purpose.)

Strengths: Good sound and voice pickup

Weaknesses: slightly heavy if not adjusted correctly

Summary: This was bought as a gift for my son in law, who uses this in his office. He says that people say he sounds better on the earphones than on his cellphone alone

Negative Review

Reviewed by: thanhvcobleverizonnet on 19-Dec-07

Strengths: Audio sounds very good. No messy wires to tangle with.

Weaknesses: - The HT820 will not pair up with another HT820 Bluetooth headset. - Ear-cushions come off too easily.

Summary: Overall I'm satisfied with the quality of the HT820 Headset. The audio sounds are very clear. I got it to work with my cell phone. I was planning to use two sets as a communication device, but had to give the other one away. Unfortunately, cannot pair-up with another HT820 or use more than two HT820 at a time on any playing device. The Motorola RAZR V3xx cell phone will only work with one Bluetooth headset HT820 at a time. Be careful of the ear-cushions because they have tendency to pop off.

Strengths: Very comfortable, very stylish, easy to pair up with my MP3 and Razor

Weaknesses: Have not found one yet!

Summary: I bought this headset hoping to be able to pair it up with my Samsung P2 MP3 player and my Razor phone. I had no problem pairing it up with my Samsung Bluetooth MP3 !!! Of course it paired with my Razor being both Motorolas. It is AWESOME to be able to listen to my MP3 and hear that beep that a incoming call is coming in. So, so, so easy to take the incoming call. All you do is press the circular M on the headset. Just touch the M again to hang up and it automatically takes you back to your music! I wear glasses as well and these are still very comfortable and steady on the head. The sound quality is great also. I have nothing but praise for this HIGH QUALITY product. Great investment!

Strengths: Good reception, easy conection

Weaknesses: none

Summary: People keep talking about the blue light. It can be SHUT OFF, Read the manual. The range is OK, other bluetooth devices are about the same. I wear glasses and have found them comfortable. Not bad on price, if you find them on sale.

Strengths: Very simple to pair to my AT&T 8525 ? Sound for music and calls is excellent ? Seamlessly switches automatically between music and incoming calls and back to the music when you are done with the call ? Comfortable to wear ? very good range.

Weaknesses: None that I have found

Summary: If you are looking for a great bluetooth stereo headset look no further, they perform even better than I expected! I purchased a earbud style set and could not stand the wires fro the earbuds to the doggle. These are very comfortable, so comfortable you almost forget your wearing them.

Strengths: excellent sound quality. good volume. comfortable

Weaknesses: ear pads can come off and get lost.

Summary: This headset is an excellent buy. The sound is outstanding and they are comfortable to wear. The ear pads do have a tendency to come off and could easily get lost but other then that I would highly recommend them.

Strengths: Audio, Changing Songs & Volume All From The Headset

Weaknesses:

Summary: The Audio Sounds Much Better Then I Thought It Was, Very Convenient To Answer Phone Calls And Use It As A Wireless Headset As Well... Don't Feel So Comfortable With Glasses On And Do Get A Bit Annoying After Wearing For Long Hours Of Play/Work

Negative Review

Reviewed by: shilly on 03-May-07

Strengths: Connects with my Motorola Q phone easily, sound is very clear and I love being able to listen to Sirius Radio over the internet on my Moto Q while commuting on light rail.

Weaknesses: I purchased these for use on the light rail and they are barely loud enough to listen to with a lot of background noise. They are very heavy, bulky and hard to story in a backpack when not in use.

Summary: Generally I am pretty satisfied with the function of these headsets but I have not used them with the phone function - just as a wireless headset. I use it to listen to Howard Stern over a Sirius Internet feed over my Motorola Q phone. I love not having wires and the bluetooth connection is very easy to use and connects immediately 90%+ of the time. Even when it does not it is fairly easy to get them talking to each other through the phone menu. The issues I have with the headset are noted in my Weaknesses - The volume is not loud enough at Maximum, the headband is tight against the back of my neck and the top of my ears. They could be much more comfortable and I wish that they weighed less. I bought these without much research based upon the Motorola brand name. These are really awesome technology, but there are newer ones that will work just as good or better, would be easier to store and more comfortable. If I knew then what I know now, I would have spent additional money on the newer Motorola headphone earbuds.
