Pros: Battery runs for a long time and the recharge from USB isn't so bad, it only takes half or an hour during lunch time at work getting power from my work PC.

The sound quality isn't something you would expect from such as a high quality audio set since it's bluetooth but good enough for normal music.

Cons: Ears can start hurting after a while with them on but once you get used to it, it isn't much of a pain.

it's ear mount piece is quite large so you may have a couple of ppl looking at you as if they have seen a borg.
if your hair is long enough to cover it, it doesn't as bad.

the blue LED that turns on and off slowly on both ear mounts during music play can be startling if you have completely forgotten about them.

HT820's last and perform, not the prettiest

Pros: I bought my pair straight from China 3 years ago and they are still going strong with solid sound and battery life. Don't pay too much attention to the guy who complained about short battery life after basically melting his. They are comfortable and pretty easy to operate, and have an overall feeling of quality (considering it's just plastic)

Cons: These things do, and always have, make you look like a moron when wearing them. They are also a touch heavy, but not uncomfortable - during running they come off once in a while but their design is such they will usually hug your neck if they do so not as big a deal as it may seem.

Other Thoughts: The mic won't work in stereo mode for mine, which is a bummer for certain situations but this may be a bluetooth limitation. In stereo mode it's very susceptible to dropouts/interference - works a lot better with less phones/devices around - but again this may be a bluetooth thing.

Very good headset

Pros: This is a very good headset for not a lot of money. The battery life is wonderful. I will sometimes go 3-4days without charging it at all.(thats with talking for a couple hours total, and listening to 6-8+hours of music) Bass is alright it could be better but it defiantly shouldn't be a deal breaker. It gets extremely loud, loud enough to where if someone is right next to you all you can see is their mouth moving. It also blocks out machine noise(depending on what type of machine)pretty good. I love the pause/play/next/back buttons it makes it so much easier so go through your music. The first day I bought this I thought that maybe I got ripped off because it was very uncomfortable(I had to take it off every 15-20min) but the next day I found where I like to wear it and now its really comfortable, just takes some getting use to. Good distance.

It synced up perfectly with my computer too. I used my Aluratek ABD2020 bluetooth network. The sound/mic//play/pause/next/back button all wor

Cons: The only con that I can think of that is really worth writing about is that you can't use any of its functions while it is plugged in.

Other Thoughts: How loud it get DOES matter on how loud your phone gets. I tested it out on a couple different phones, the Samsung Gleam and the LG Dare (the gleam gets a little bit louder)
