Motorola HS805 Bluetooth Headset
just got an 805 from fry’s for 49.99. i like it because it uses an AAA battery. i can just use my nimh rechargeables. don’t have to get a separate car charger or even worry about the battery diminishing. so lets go for the pros and cons.
using with a samsung D500. my first bluetooth headset.
+plenty loud at max volume. seems like most of the time for normal conversations i’ll have it at 50-75%. just fine in the car with windows up of course.
+friends say i sound fine. wouldn’t have known i was on a headset.
+connects fine.
+buttons seem straight and to the point. connect, disconnect, power on/off, then volume up/down. just the way i like it.
+light. super light in weight.
+estimated 22hrs talktime with AAA battery! wow. even half that would be great.
-looks bulky. i like the look of the samsung hbh-300. but who cares really, as long as it works i say.
-big downer- gets static when the phone is in either of my pants pockets. isn’t this bluetooth v1.2? c’mon, all i need is one more foot of clarity. otherwise, it must be in the line of sight.
-feels like it’s flimsy and may fall off my ear, but i can shake my head and it doesn’t fall off. i think at worst is it tilts out and in if you shake. i guess i just gotta trust that it’s secure over time.
========
:final words: i can live with it if i had to. the price is reasonable compared to the others, although i would like to find one for cheaper if i end up sticking with this model.
:recommendation: well.. i haven’t tried others yet, but if you can get it for cheap and don’t mind that it needs to be in the line of sight of the phone, sure.

Ok, for $29 this is not bad!! It was easy to pair with my Motorola V710-about 1 minute after I found the correct menu, I think it was “connection”. Made lots of calls (from house, car and outside) Everyone I spoke to said I sounded great. It looses 1 star because it is not the smallest or lightest. Good fit on the ear-and I wear glasses. Battery is still going strong-better than charging.

I bought this headset for internet chats with my husband, when he travels for business. I find it comfortable to wear and easy to use. The sound quality is good, volume more than adequate and my husband does not hear any echo.
I like the fact that it uses an AAA battery instead of a charger. All you need is a spare battery and no worries about the device dying when the internal battery dies. (Even rechargeables do not last forever.)
The ear wrap is comfortable and stays securely on my ear. It would be nice if it bent for a custom fit, but I am pretty happy with it.

I have not had any of the problems others have had. This headset always works, the sound is clean and clear at both ends. Yes, it may be slightly heavier than other Motorola models but it is comfortable and I do not notice the extra weight. I like the AAA battery because I use it for 2 weeks at a pop without the same issues my friends have with their newer rechargeable versions. After 2 weeks I put in another NIMH and never have run out of battery.

I’ve had this bluetooth headset for about 5 months now, and overall I was happy with its performance, but just recently I kept losing my connection with the phone. The problem is a horribly flawed battery cover. It has become worn and will no longer stay closed. When it opens, the battery connection is broken and the device is turned off. I payed about $50 for this unit, and it is now worthless because of a battery compartment design that probably cost less than 5 cents.
