this headset is compact and powerful enough to handle all my bluetooth needs. I have had multiple other bluetooth headsets by other manufacturers and this is the best of them all.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Value, Features......comfort could be better, December 17, 2007

This review is from: Cardo S-800 Bluetooth Headset (Electronics)

I've owned a few other headsets in the past (Motorola H500 and Blueant X3 Micro). I returned the H500 because people couldn't hear me. I really liked the Blueant, but when I lost it, I decided to give the S800 a try because of the advertised features. I loved the idea of the 3 speed dial numbers, and as it turned out, this is my favorite feature of the S800 (very handy). I also really like the volume control wheel. With my Blueant I always had to stop and think about which button was Up and which was Down. The S800 makes this very intuitive. My only complaint with the S800 is with the comfort. When I first got it, I noticed that it wasn't as comfortable as my Blueant. It's not uncomfortable....just not as comfortable as the Blueant. And I don't usually wear the headset for extended periods of time.

Bottom line: For the money, this is an excellent headset with a ton of features....I just wish it was a bit more comfortable. If I was going to choose between the X3 Micro or the S800, I'd probably go with the S800 just because I think the few extra features outweigh what it lacks in comfort.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not reliable and no support, November 8, 2008

By 

Robear (Mission Viejo, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Cardo S-800 Bluetooth Headset (Electronics)

I bought two of these in August 2008. They worked quite well with my Treo 800w and a Sanyo phone. For some reason they do not work as well with my HTC Diamond. People keep complaining that I am cutting out and they have trouble hearing me. Now, three months after purchase, one of them will no longer charge using the Cardo wall charger that came with the unit or the USB charger. I registerd the product and for a week have been emaling support and calling Cardo attemtping to get help. I cannot get anyone to respond. So I'll be throwing the defective Cardo away after 3 months and looking for a headset that works. I will probably buy somwhere other than Amazon so that I can return the device if it stops working.
