Ok where to start. My sister got the headset free with her Motorola phone (ages ago) she has never used it and hid lost the instructions for it. We have just moved house and my dad found the headset. He charged it up but none of use could work out how to use it as SOMEONE (My sister) had lost the instructions. So I searched the web yesterday and found a PDF instruction book ready to look at. The file loaded up and I was using the headset in minutes.
-The box- the box is made of plastic and is about 25cm tall and 20 cm wide. (approx.). There is a stylish cover thing on the inside so you can see what you are buying. It says; " Bluetooth Universal Wireless HeadsetHS850"
it also states that it is compatible with all Bluetooth phones. The headset is displayed at the front of the box with the microphone open so you can see the size and over all look of the thing. Also included (should be) instructions, and a charger with 3 different voltages. For the USABritain and Europe (more later on). The box is nice and appealing and also shows a model with the headset on and her Motorola phone.
-The Headset- The headset only measures 9cm long when it is fully opened out and 5cm wide including the ear hook. The headset can fold up and then it only measures 5 cm long. The ear hook also opens out so you can hook it and the close it over your ear. The hook is made of soft rubber so it is comfortable to wear for long periods of time. The speaker is surrounded by soft rubber and then a layer of rubber outlining it so that it is also comfortable. The headset is a light grey colour with a blue middle and silver buttons and symbols. There are only 3 buttons on the headset; A Volume up button A volume down button And a multifunction button. The volume buttons are found on the side of the headset closet to the back of your head when your wearing it. This makes it easy to control the volume of the person in your ear especially good for drivers on busy roads with lots of background noise. The multifunction button allows you to connect it to your phone, answer the phone and hang up. There are probably more features this button does but without looking it up on the PDF instructions I found I wouldn't know. You can also change the headset around for wearing on your left ear but I don't know how exactly, all included in instructions. There is also a blue light on the front of the headset that activates when in use and when charging.
-Charger- Ok I mentioned the charger earlier and for good reasons. This charger is amazing, it starts with a 2 pronged one (that I think is USA correct me if I'm wrong) but also included are 2 other connectors. The first one is a standard British one. To add it on all you do is fold the 2 prongs up and slide the British connectors on top of them. The other one is a European one and to add it on is the same as the British. There is plenty of wire given with the charger as well and to plug it into the headset couldn't be easier. Just find the hole on the back of the headset, and plug it in. To take it out again push the button on the charger connector and pull out. When the headset is on charge the blue light will stay on. When it is finished charging the light will go off again. For a two hour charge you can talk for 8 hours or leave it on standby for 200 hours so it wont run down that quickly.
-Connectivity- To connect it to your Bluetooth phone couldn't be easier (with instructions). When it is fully charged, keep the microphone closed and hold the multi function button for 3 seconds, then open it out and the light should be blue (if not try again) search for it on your handset and the code is 0000. There easy. I haven't used it much I must say but it has never dropped out of connection yet, although I haven't used many other headsets at all so I don't really know if this is a great product or not.
-Sound Quality- The sound quality is really good on this headset, but yet again I have never tried any other ones. For the short phone calls I have had it has worked really well. Never been any drop-out of sound like I was expecting from it. Really quite a handy little device to have.
-Price- Well there has to be a few draw backs. The price is £50 approx. at online shops and im not sure about high street stores. But since we got it free that's ok. Its unlikely you will get this headset free now because as I was sad to hear… Its discontinued. If you are lucky enough to get your hands on it you might as well pay the £50 as it is quite a solid we thing and wont break down on you.
-Other notes- this is an old headset but that doesn't mean its bad. There are lots of new headsets on the market with lots of different weird and wonderful features but I still like this one. Its style, its shape everything about it is just so.. Well.. Nice. I would buy this one if I could.
-Conclusion- This is a small easy to use headset from motorola, it can be used with any other Bluetooth phone and won't let you down. Although it is discontinued now it is still good technology and if you can find one buy it has it wont break or drop a connection. Great battery life and quick charge time. 5 stars from me. I LOVE IT
Once again well done. Glad you got the pictures on aswell gave me a much better look at the product.

I'm going to need one of these when I finally get a new phone ion a month or two. This is a great review - spoiled just a little for me by some rather obvious little mistakes - re-read it and I think you'll understand what I mean, not the stuff that a spell checker would have picked up unfortunately.
