Product Description

The ANYCOM Bluetooth Headset HS-890 is already the third ANYCOM headset generation and combines an elegant design and comfort to use with latest technology. Although only less than 15 grams light it offers up to 5 hours Talk Time and 144 hours Standby Time. A noise cancelling microphone in combination with the latest DSP chip and a high quality speaker provide the best possible sound quality for both sides of the call. The ANYCOM HS-890 is one of the first headsets in the market supporting the new Bluetooth 1.2 specification which gives quicker reconnection times with the paired devices and eliminates transmission conflicts with other radio transmissions like WLAN. The ANYCOM HS-890 supports both the Bluetooth Headset and the Handsfree profiles – allowing you to use it with virtually any Bluetooth phone and even with PDAs and PCs supporting these profiles. Depending on the ability of the mobile phone the HS-890 also supports voice-dial and re-dial functions. The ANYCOM HS-890 comes with an international power supply, a car-charger and an USB charging cable. With the necklace the headset can be carried around easily.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely the best., September 19, 2005

This headset is the best. I have tried three others before this, the Motorola, Logitech and Seimens units. None of those seemed to fit securely on my ear, they let outside noises in and had a tinney sound and a lot of static. This one has none of those problems. I use the headset with my bluetooth enabled PDA to talk to friends in Spain via SKYPE which then is a free call over the internet. Great unit!

This review is from: ANYCOM HS-890 Bluetooth Headset (Wireless Phone Accessory)

This is my third blue tooth headset and this is by far the best one I've had. I had the Jabra vt2500 and the Motorola H700. Let's just say that those items did not live up to expectations. Both were very low in volume and I had to constantly repeat myself. The people I was talking to could hear the background noise more than they can hear me. With the ANYCOM HS-890 the speaker is very loud and clear and the other person can hear me on the other end as well. This is an awesome product. Sure, this product is not as pretty as the H700 but it sure does perform. It's great that I don't constantly have to say, "say again?...Say again?" Now...one tiny little flaw with this product is that it shuts off by itself when not in use. Technically, it's still on which only requires you to just click on the power button to take it out of stand by mode to make calls and receive. If it was fully turned off you have to hold the power button for about 6 sec. I can live with that. Seriously, this product is loud and clear. Loud as in you can hear the person you're talking to without "trying" to hear them. It's awesome, no regrets so far. I'll update my review as time goes by for longevity of the product.

5.0 out of 5 stars An ideal headset for MS Voice Command users, April 10, 2006

Anyone who has a Windows Mobile device that is running Microsoft Voice Command knows that it is a great piece of software, but is very picky about the Bluetooth headsets it supports. I had previously tried and returned a Sony Ericsson HBH-610 after I found it would not run reliably in this setup. I was about to settle for the Motorola HS850 and its meager performance, until I ran across this gem.

Not only does the HS-890 work well with Voice Command, it is a great little headset in its own right. The speaker volume is plenty loud, the earpiece is comfortable, and the noise cancelling processing seems to be effective in cleaning up background noise. My only wish was that it used a more standard mini-USB connector to the headset, instead of the micro-USB it comes with, but that is a minor issue. With all this, and at a decent price too, you can't go wrong with this device.
