Good Item for me
Pros: Seems to work well, I'm pleased with it.
Cons: Easy to lose, Doesn't sit on ear well. Full review Just started using Bluetooth for first time with a new cell phone with many features. This Hs850 is paired with a Nokia 6265i. Overall, I like the wireless feature. Seems to work well. Security for Bluetooth - I 'did' turn on the cell phone hidden feature. Although the range is approx 30 feet, I would rather others not hack into my unit. In a rural setting, its highly unlikely, but in a large city, well Battery life seems good - HS850 has never died during my 10-12 hour drives. If it did die, I have no way of recharging it didn't come with a car charger. I use this when driving. Sound quality is good. Per my lovely wife - Mic works well in vehicle with windows up. First call was to her and she didn't notice any difference from just the cell mic. Other places other than car used - none. For safe driving - this type of item is the best as it's hands-free. If you don't get this HS850, please get a hands-free device as your life expectancy will dramatically increase. Bought this Hs850 spur-of-the-moment for $40 at Costco. Doesn't sit on ear well. I bent the ear piece and it's much better now. Wish the ear hook was longer and wrapped under the ear Easy to lose, wish it had a necklace in case it falls off. Storage pouch - none. Volume - mine is set on maximum which works well. HS850 volume buttons - very small, almost hidden on the Hs850. Directions to get-connected were a bit confusing: "Pair your Headset" Step3-3 Reads: 'Press and hold the call button.' Maybe they should change it to 'On the HS850, Press and hold the call button. -or- Press and hold the call button on the HS850. This minor change will help people like me as I kept pressing the 'call' button on my cell phone which I now know is the wrong 'call' button. I almost gave up, tried the HS850 call button as a last resort which worked. I've only been using this item for 3 days, so unsure of long range quality e.g., battery life, breakage, etc. Good luck. |
