"Most of the reviewers here are brain dead!"
Pros: It's made by Motorola, long range, good battery life, no static, works with Sprint radio and TV.
Cons: You can't listen to movies through media player, no visual indicator for battery life.
Summary: I really can't stand Cnet because reviewers can write 1 line and not even give a reason why they do not like a product. That is the case for the Motorola HT820. The reviews I have read here are so pointless and stupid. I will keep mine to the point.
I purchased the Motorola HT820 because I listen to Sprint radio a lot, and I mean A LOT. When I am working out at the gym and jogging. Up to now I have been using a normal set of Sony headphones with a 2.5mm adapter. I have torn through 2 headphones in the past few months doing this. The cord gets caught and rips. Plus the adapter creates lots of static when it is moved around. When I saw the HT820 on Attack of the Show I thought it would be perfect for me, which it has been.
The pros:
1. Very clear sound, better then most headphones I have tried, and better then every single Bluetooth set.
2. Long range. I don't even have to have my phone on me, just near me. I can work out on my heavy bag with my cell phone safely across the room.
3. Pretty good battery life.
4. No static when within range.
5. Full stereo sound.
6. Comfortable feel when around head or neck.
7. Voice sound is clear.
Cons:
1. No LCD visual battery life indicator. So you have to go by the indicator lights
2. You can't hear the sound from movies and video clips through the media player. You can listen to the TV and movies through the Sprint TV application or through the media player, but not your own 3GP files.
3. Too large to wear around your head when you drive. But you can, just don't have both speakers over both your ears.
So overall this is a great Bluetooth device. I'm sure with future generations the cons will be corrected. When a company like Motorola designs somethings like this, they plan on upgrading it for a longtime to come. Also keep in mind that I have NOT used this headset with any other carriers devices, so I have no idea how they will hold up. Verizon has all kinds of Bluetooth limitations, so this headset may not work for media content at all. So check to make sure it will work with your device.
