The Motorola HS850 Bluetooth Headset is in it's original condition. Product also includes original charger, warranty, and manual. The Motorola HS850 is the company's update to their HS810 headset, one of my personal favorites. The changes made to produce the new HS850 are few, but the effect is relatively substantial.

Feature Comment
Cost	RecommendedUS retail $100 Street pricesdown as low as $65.
Ergonomics
Easy to puton and take off	Onlymoderatelyeasy to put on, and I found I was usually usingboth hands to do this, which is not practical ifyou're holding your phone with one hand andtrying to quickly put your headset on with theother hand. It was, of course,easy to take off.
Easy to usethe control buttons	There arethree buttons on the unit. There are twosmall buttons for volume up and volume down, anda larger button opposite the earpiece. The layout is such that it is easy to reach andpress these buttons.
Comfortableto wear	This is oneof the more comfortable units available, with nothingsticking uncomfortably in one's ear.
Can you usewith glasses	Yes.
Can use witheither ear	Yes. Aclever feature is the ability to swap thetwo volume buttons so that the top one is forvolume up and the bottom one for volume down, nomatter if the unit is in your left or right ear.
Securelymounted on ear	It seems tobe secure inasmuch as it doesn't fall off, butit can move around a bit and feels a bit floppy. On the other hand, this loose fit also makes itunobtrusive and comfortable to wear.
How to carry	The goodnews - there is a loop on the unit to which youcan affix an around the neck lanyard. The bad news - Motorola don't provide a lanyard;you have to go out and buy one extra. Here's an online store that sells them for about $2 each. Compatible with Nectarretractable andnecklace style headset holders.
Weight	Reasonably light - 0.6oz
Ease of Use
Commandsintuitive and easy to remember	Muchsimpler commands than many other units. Most commands are initiated by a short press onthe one button, a few others by a long press (3seconds or longer).
Volumeadjustable	This isreasonably intuitive, with two dedicatedbuttons, one each for volume up and volume down.
How fastdoes it turn on	It takesabout five seconds to turn on and synch up witha phone.
Manual	Well writtenin perfect English, 30 pages in length. Also in other languages.

Low batteryindicator/signal	The unitbeeps five times every 20 seconds to indicatethe battery is almost discharged. Only the person wearing the headset hears thebeeping, not the person you're speaking to.

Replaceablebattery?	No. As with other headsets, the chances are by the time the battery has died,you'll probably have bought a new headset.
Batterycharging method/time	The unituses the same type of charger as do all V60-600series phones. This is convenient - if you have an existingcharger for these types of phones, you can useit with the headset, too, and save yourself theneed to carry two chargers with you.
