Not bad, but some weaknesses

I like the headset. The sound is a little tiny, but overall pretty good. According to my girlfriend though, she gets a lot of echo on her end when I'm talking through the HS810. Apparently it is tolerable for short conversations, but I've been told not to use it if we're on the phone more than a few min. :)

I decided to try the lanyard over the last few days and it makes using the phone in the car Really convenient. Normally when I get a call/two while I'm driving, I have to scramble to dig my phone out of my pocket. With the landyard on, I just open the boom and pop it on my ear. A quick press of the button and I'm talking. Super nice.

It worked much better with the Motorola Razr than it does with my current phone, Sprint LG slider (LG-350 I think). Reception is only so-so and I occassionally get static when the phone is just in my pocket. ...but I would still buy one simply because of the convenience factor. :)

Only buy if looking for a disposable earpiece!

I purchased this product because of its convenience and price ($50). The convenience of having a truly hands-free communication device is wonderful until it breaks. It is even less convenient when it breaks 3 times. After 2 months of using the product, the plastic hinges cracked. Then a piece of the plastic hinge broke off, now exposing any internal parts to dirt, rain, etc,. which happened to mine. The first time it quit was on a rainy day when (this is my guess as to what happened) a drop of rain affected the microphone in which I could hear others, but they could not hear me. I called Motorola for a Return Authorization, spent $5 to send it FedEx Ground to the company and in 2-3 weeks I received a new one. After not having this convenience product for a few weeks, I used it and a crack appeared on the microphone portion within 3-4 weeks. The rubber portion around the earpiece began to detach itself. The product was still working so I kept using it. Then the hinges went as it did before. Although it was working, I called Motorola to find out why they've made such a poor quality product for which the retail value is around $100? Their response included a Return Authorization, so for another $5 I sent it in again and was inconvenienced for another 2-3 weeks. It's been about two months since I've had my 3rd earpiece and the hinges cracked and now exposed its insides. Today the microphone earpiece began cracking. But it still works! Not well, but it works! So please read others reviews about earpieces and its durability before purchasing as the HS810 is a wonderful product if it were to last longer than at least 6 months.

Ok performance, crappy charging.

This unit works ok enough for most users. Except one thing.

You can only reliably charge it three times.

When the battery runs out, you're supposed to shut it off, and plug it in. At this point, the light is supposed to come on until it's charged (about 2 hours). After the first three times, it won't come on. Won't charge. Motorola says "Oh we're so sorry--we only have a 90 day warranty on that..." Cingular is like "Oh it's over 30 days..."

The only way I have found I can charge it?

Turn it on. Wait for the "I'm on" light to come on--plug it in, turn it off. THEN it charges.

I suggest going with another headset.
