OC-J Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 day to 1 week This user purchased this item from Newegg	8/15/2007 4:29:30 PM Stop Your BT Headset Search Here Pros: Small, sleek and very user friendly. Sound quality is crisp and not muffled. Ear bud is a good size and the ear loop is thin and not cumbersome. Cons: Seems to have slight range issues at first pairing, but BT is an adapting frquency and the more you use it, the better it will get. Other Thoughts: I've had 3 other (cheaper) BT headsets before and nothing compares to this one. If you want to avoid the pain and suffering, just bite it and spend the 100 bucks on this one. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!

Harappan Tech Level: average Ownership: 1 day to 1 week This user purchased this item from Newegg	5/14/2007 11:23:25 AM My first Bluetooth headset Pros: Size, comfort, sound clarity on my end, volume control, range. Cons: My girlfriend complains that when I talk over this bluetooth set, she could tell there is a difference in the sound clarity. When the otehr person on the line disconnects the call, I dont hear any beeping sound or any notification sound. Other Thoughts: I was amazed when I first looked at the size of this thing. It is TINY. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Haystacks Calhoun Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: 1 month to 1 year This user purchased this item from Newegg	1/16/2007 11:58:00 PM Best One I Found Pros: After a search that included disappointing high-end Jabra and Plantronics models, I found the BH800 to be is the best of the lot. The sound is clear and loud (even in my car, with its horrid road noise); the range is better than the more expensive Jabra model I tried. Battery life is as-advertised, with six hours of talk time between charges. It's small and inconspicuous in your ear, but solidly built so that you can put it in your my pants without fear of breaking. I put a small foam cover from a cheap wired headset over the speaker, and I don't even need the ear loop. And thankfully, there's no giant flashing bluelight, like so many Bluetooths have. Just a small, out-of-sight light on top. Cons: There's no noise cancelling, so certain background sounds (stacking dishes, running water) can be quite annoying to ppl on the other end. When answering, you have to wait for the earpiece ring to end before you can talk. Small annoyances, though, considering all the pros this unit offers. Other Thoughts: It's a bit pricey, at $xx or so, but as someone who's tied to his phone by work, it's been a great investment. Did you find this review helpful?

Darkeyce Tech Level: high Ownership: less than 1 day This user purchased this item from Newegg	1/16/2007 10:24:36 PM Doesn't work with 8525! Pros: Small, tiny in fact! Cons: According to a small slip of paper in my phone box, it's incompatible with the Cingular 8525...I can only assume its the smae with all Hermes class phones Other Thoughts: Wel lit is a good lookign headset but i Never even unpacked it. I ordered the headset when i ordered the phone. got the phone first and opened the box to see a not indicating the BH800 was incompatible. Dang! 1 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you?

crx187 Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 week to 1 month This user purchased this item from Newegg	12/1/2006 7:26:50 AM Nokia BH-800 Pros: Comfortable. Light. Great Clarity. Has not lost connectivity during a phone call. Cons: Volume is not that loud at highest setting. Blackberry will not pair with the headset unless you hold down the button on the headset. if you try to activate from the handset, it fails. Also, when you end a call from the headset it does not make a sound, so you don't know if the call has ended (others do). Other Thoughts: I have also used the Motorola H700 and the Jabra Jx-10. The H700 broke within 1 month and the silver detail on the H700 wore completely off. When it worked it was clear. The Jabra JX-10 was the best out of the three. My dog ate my JX-10, so I tried the Nokia BH-800. The JX-10 is louder and paired a lot better with my blackberry, I will be sending this back and trading it back in for a JX-10 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you?

bilkay Tech Level: average Ownership: 1 day to 1 week	11/19/2006 8:39:35 AM Pros: Small and unobtrusive. Fits my ear well without the earloop. Small and "hidden" indicator light a plus. Sound is clear for both inbound and outbound. Cons: I wish it were louder. I keep mine at maximum volume with my LG Fusic phone. A more in-the-ear design with different sized earpieces would help. It's way too expensive. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A Tech Level: average Ownership: 1 day to 1 week This user purchased this item from Newegg	11/10/2006 8:45:47 AM BH-800 Pros: Great product, I've tested several, including the leading ones, even the BH-900. This works much better, light, works great no background noise, even in the car. Cons: non yet. 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Darrin Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 month to 1 year This user purchased this item from Newegg	11/9/2006 5:35:21 PM Sweet Pros: very small, comfortable, light, attractive, good sound, long battery life, easy to use. Cons: Would like interchangeable ear buds, I have to use the included wire wrap because it doesn't stay on without it. Regardless it is still very comfortable. Other Thoughts: All drivers should have a hands free, in the past 2 weeks I've almost been in 3 accidents because the other driver was on their cell phone. (the fact that they were women is pure coincidence I'm sure) =) 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: 1 week to 1 month This user purchased this item from Newegg	11/8/2006 1:25:30 PM Pros: Looks great, works with my 6682 flawlessly. To me everything works as it should and I have yet to have a problem. Cons: The size although great does make it feel a little delicate. Can get a a bit flaky when items are between it and device. Someone else mentioned this and I am not sure if it is comparable to other bluetooth or worse. Other Thoughts: Overall I am happy with the purchase. Product is great, and Newegg had a great price.

geno_machine Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: 1 week to 1 month This user purchased this item from Newegg	11/8/2006 11:25:14 AM My Opinion Pros: Small, Lightweight,.....Small, Lightweight......(Thinking)........ Packaging...That's about it Cons: Bought this headset based on mostly favorable reviews. However, elephant ears are needed to use without ear hook, which by the way is metal without cushion. Much static on inbound audio. Highly unacceptable for conducting business as I do. Have LG VX 8300, perhaps that's why. Don't know. Will switch to Blue Ant which is very good. Overpriced. Other Thoughts: Pass on this one. Perhaps Nokia phones work best with this headset. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A Tech Level: average Ownership: 1 month to 1 year This user purchased this item from Newegg	11/6/2006 1:13:24 PM Clearer than the built in mic. Pros: Increadibly clear! Great distance. No problems with it my pocket. Couldn't ask for much more. Cons: Expensive. Bought a second one off e bay that did not work nearly as well, shorter range and less clarity. Its a tough call considering the p rice break. Other Thoughts: Its worth it! I rarely pay up for phones/accessories since they're so easily lost/damaged, but I was getting headaches from my Sliver phone (unsually high SAR levels) and this solved it. Accidently dropped it in the water and had to send it to Nokia. I would pay up again if neccesary. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
jerone Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 week to 1 month This user purchased this item from Newegg	10/30/2006 4:55:01 PM Bluetooth is not all that great Pros: It's small and stylish. Plus it's Nokia...and I'm a total Nokia fanboy. You can turn it on/off and easily pairs with my Nokia N73. Voice comes through clearly. Got it from Newegg at an awesome price. Cons: Since this device does not have dsp cancellation you really can't use it in noisy environments. I was just outside and someone I was talking too could hear the birds around me as though they were right by me. But the thing that bugs me the most is it's not crystal clear (perfect). Even with it right by my phone I get static that comes and goes. Don't move around a lot, that will definitely bring on the static. I think this is a problem with bluetooth in general (as I read around the web with other bluetooth headset suffering the same type problems)..it's not a perfect protocol and rides on 2.4ghz spectrum (so in my apartment that spectrum is getting used and abused by everything from phones, microwaves, & wireless access points). So it's not a huge knock against the device, but bluetooth in general. It's a big disappointment & makes you wonder how the industry can push this stuff. Other Thoughts: If you want style & to be wire free then buy it. But if you want crystal clear calls...stay with the wire. It will save you a lot of money and headache. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
tozfeekum Tech Level: high Ownership: less than 1 day This user purchased this item from Newegg	10/26/2006 4:17:13 PM Perfect... Pros: -TINY, its a lot smaller than it looks in the pictures. Also looks very clean/stylish. -Great sound within a certain distance. -comes with a pouch, and lanyard. - Cons: -about 15 feet away the device starts to "pop + crackle". But this isnt too important to me. i only use it in the car and in the office. Other Thoughts: This is the best BT device i have used overall. I own a treo 700wx, and it paired easily and just works :) 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!

rAf Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 week to 1 month This user purchased this item from Newegg	9/17/2006 11:33:23 PM I love this B/T Headset!!!! Pros: Small and lightweight. You don't look like a CYBORG with a big hearing aid looking thing with a disco laser show on your ear!!! I hated the search for a B/T headset, but I finally gave in and bought other brands. I saw this one at BXXtBXy but the price was double...so I came to NewEgg and I LOVE IT.. WORTH EVERY CENT!!! I don't feel stupid walking around with it. Cons: People think I'm crazy or I confuse them into thinking I'm talking to them... it is soo small they don't see it. In noisy situations, I wish the volume was a bit louder, but in normal everyday situations...perfect. Other Thoughts: I love the fact that the light is behind the ear so I turn it on, green...match to my Moto Q blue. Blinks once every 30 secs. No one can see the blink because its in my ear. Range is great, I can walk around the house and not loose my connection, I also pump gas walk into the store and leave the phone in the car!!! This thing ROCKS..New Egg prices ROCK. I'm one happy computer nerd!!! 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Mladjo Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 month to 1 year This user purchased this item from Newegg	9/16/2006 11:20:46 PM Excellent headset! Pros: Size, comfort, great durability, sound quiality, battery life, realy ease to use! Cons: Signal reception gets weak if there are some obstacles between the headset and the phone! Other Thoughts: Traid 5 different headsets prior to BH800, and this one is by far the best! Jabra jx10 is also very good. But additional plus for Nokia is that I can use my Nokia car charger to charge BH800. Not with many haedsets you can do that, if any at all!? Did you find this review helpful?

T Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: 1 day to 1 week This user purchased this item from Newegg	9/5/2006 4:42:55 PM Very Good Headset Pros: Small size, excellent design, good connection quality, ease of use. Cons: Output volume could be a little louder. Other Thoughts: I hate people that walk around with these headsets in. But thanks to the BH800's small size, I don't feel like a complete idiot when I'm wearing it. It also fits the ear well. Did you find this review helpful?

jssp Tech Level: average Ownership: 1 day to 1 week This user purchased this item from Newegg	8/12/2006 7:11:07 PM Buy This One Pros: - Sound Quality: People actually hear me when I use this headset. - Simple to use - Size: you forget you have it on. Cons: None Other Thoughts: Like many others I have several bluetooth headsets. This one works. Plus it does not make you look like you stepped out of some sci-fi movie. I've read in other places that the neck strap does not hold securely the headset - I actually think the opposite. It's a smart design all around. Don't do any more research - buy this one. 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
/AMITRA/ Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 month to 1 year	8/5/2006 3:19:02 PM Tiny and Functional, winning combination Pros: Small size, In ear, hence sound output quality very good. The pickup quality from microphone is average. Looks great both in office and party environments. Cons: Dont think the noise cancellation is great. Also range is not great, hardly 3 meters. Other Thoughts: Overall great looks, diminutive must have accessory for both men and women. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
slick_99 Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 day to 1 week This user purchased this item from Newegg	7/20/2006 9:45:55 PM Nokia is the best Pros: this is the best bluetooth head-set i had by far. i sold many of them on online auctions, and personaly tried about five, made by motorola, jabra, plantrasonic and other manufacturers, none of them gets close to this one. this nokia is simply the best you can get for your money. size, shape, weight, style, comfort, durability, functionality and much more. Cons: only one, i wish it was made in Germany or Finland. Other Thoughts: you might find this product on other sites for couple of dollars cheaper. i am hear to tell you be aware... shop newegg, you won't go wrong. 7 out of 7 people found this review helpful.

gizmologist Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 week to 1 month This user purchased this item from Newegg	7/14/2006 6:26:35 PM This is IT! Pros: small, stylish, stealth status light, EDR (extended data rate) bluetooth 2.0 - translates to excellent conneciton performance, great battery life, fast charge, easy to put on and take off quickly, very comfortable; even for extended periods of time, cool neck strap and nice carrying pouch. Cons: i can't think of a single drawback except perhaps the steep asking price... but then, it cost's less than the total i spent on the ones i eventually gave up on... Other Thoughts: i have over a half dozen bluetooth headsets; 2 cardos, 2 bluespoons (ax and ax2), a moto 850, a jabra jx10, a nokia hs-12w, and this nokia bh-800. The only one which comes close to the bh-800 is the jx10. the primary difference comes down to comfort and price. they are bith small and stylish and both perform incredibly well. for me, the additional comfort of the bh-800 makes the cost difference worthwhile. 12 out of 12 people found this review helpful.
