If you have a Bluetooth phone that supports stereo headsets, it's time to start moving with your music. These comfortable, simple-to-operate Bluetooth Stereo Headphones let you enjoy hours of hands-free, wire-free listening. And with your compatible phone you can quickly switch from listening to music to wirelessly answering calls on your headphones, so you'll never miss a beat.

With the HT820 headphones, you can do even more than listen to stereo music from your phone. You can stream music from your PC, home stereo, or MP3 player with a phone that supports Bluetooth 1.2, as well as the Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) and the Audio Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP). The headphones provide a hands-free, wire-free connection up to 10 meters (30 feet) from a Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone or other Bluetooth device.

Weighing just 100 grams, and featuring a comfortable and ergonomic design, these headphones are designed for all day use. Intuitive controls, which include music buttons on the right earpiece, and call buttons on the left earpiece, make it easy to control your music and your calls. An embedded microphone handles voice communication, allowing you to use the HT820's just like a regular Bluetooth headset. The rechargeable internal batttery offers approximately 17 hours of talk time and approximately 500 hours of standby time. You also get approximately 12 hours of music listening time on a single charge. So get moving!

The headphones are covered by a one year warranty.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great headphones, great sound IF YOUR PHONE SUPPORTS A2DP, March 8, 2007

To echo what most reviewers are saying, these are great bluetooth headphones. I use them to listen to movies/TV on my PC when others in the room don't want to be disturbed, and they are consistently excellent.

A lot of reviewers are questioning the "high-quality audio" claims of the HT820. These people need to get a clue. There are two prominent Bluetooth audio profiles: basic and stereo. The stereo profile is called "A2DP." MOST PHONES AND OTHER BT SOURCES DO NOT SUPPORT A2DP. In fact, most non-"musicphones" that weren't launched in the last year (like every Motorola RAZR others than the V3i and the V3m) do not feature A2DP.

If your phone supports A2DP, you will get crystal clear stereo sound. If it doesn't, you will get low-bitrate mono-sound. In which case, you are wasting money on a set of headphones like these. BUT DON'T BLAME THE HEADSET, blame your phone manufacturer for cheaping out.

4.0 out of 5 stars Best Bluetooth Stereo Headset, July 25, 2006

This review is from: Motorola H 98689 T820 Bluetooth Stereo Headset (Black) (Wireless Phone Accessory)

This is the best Bluetooth stereo headset that I have found so far. In "headset" mode these work great with Skype or a Bluetooth phone. The audio quality in "headset" mode is average at best but that is typical for a telephone headset. The built in microphone is effective as long as the ambient noise level isn't too high. It might be an improvement to put the microphone on a small boom.

These headphones can also operate in "audio sink" mode if the device you are pairing them with supports it. In "audio sink" mode the audio quality is very good for playing music or watching movies.

My sole complaint about this headset is that they are uncomfortable to wear for extended periods - several hours at a stretch.

Durable. Sounds great. Mic provides good sound for those on the other endof the connection. I like the wrap-around fit (walkman-style headphones look dorky - wrap around is better). Although.. after 30 minutes the tips of my ears can become sore which I am learning to cope with. I use it with Motorola L2 cell phone and Anycom 250 USB dongle for Skype. This is the one to get. I had a competing Plantronics product -- in fact two of them -- but they both broke in the same place due to the use of plastic in high-stress areas. The Motorola design is much smarter.
