Very Satisfied [Posted on 2008-10-24]
This headset works very well with my SE K850i. Set up was simple and the sound is crystal clear on both ends of the call. I do not use the ear hook since it fits very well in my ear and is quite comfortable. Comfort depends on the shape of your ear, so I guess I lucked out here. What I like most about this headset is that it is simple to operate and the bluetooth connection never disconnects. Some bluetooth headsets work better with some phones than others. I find it very easy to swap the bluetooth connection between my 2 SE K850i phones. All I have to do is double press the multi-function wheel towards me. The hot dial function, which supposedly allows me to rapidly call any of three different phone numbers in speed dial positions 2, 3, or 4, does not work on the SE K850i. What it does instead is dial my first 3 numbers in my contact list. But that's a phone issue peculiar to SE, which is not a very important feature that I care about.

This headset is very clear, comfortable and easy to operate. Since I do a lot of traveling in my car, a reliable headset is important to me. That is why I value the Cardo S-800.

A Disappointment [Posted on 2008-11-08]
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.

A great headset!! [Posted on 2008-11-30]
Great little headset. I agree with others that ear piece could be a bit smaller but it does fit my ear ok and is comfortable to wear. I use the ear hook. Sometimes I have static with the call but the other person can't hear it, Turn the volume on the head set down and it goes away. I've seen some people have had 4-5 star S-800's and other's had 1 star S-800's With the static issue i'd would have given it 3 to 4 stars but I gave it five stars because march 08 I found it at the bottom of the washing machine after just washing jeans in hot water. Figured it being doa, I used a towel and dried it off the let it air dry and after about 15min I tested it to power and the power light flickered, but didn't power. Pluged the power cord in and let it charge overnight. Powered and worked the next day, still have the static issue once and awhile but it's Dec 08 and it still working after going thru the wash. For The price of $19.99 I'm going to buy another one to have as a spare.

Great ear headset!!! [Posted on 2008-12-17]
The battery life is great for heavy usage in a single day. Does pick up back ground noise when driving or outside on a windy day. But the over all quality is 4 of 5 stars. Would recommend for do not have to carry a charger with you during your daytime usage. Connects great with HTC Touch Pro and works well when the phone is a large distance from the ear head set and the quality of the audio is still working fine.

Should be ranked "headset of the year"!! [Posted on 2009-01-08]
Okay for $14.99 and free shipping, I am getting a headset with more features than my cell phone, noise cancellation, killer looks, long battery life, etc. etc.
I have owned 5 headsets...one from motorola, 2 plantronics, a jabra, and a samsung. I have also tryed the jawbone for an extended period. This is by far the best headset I have ever used!! More features than you can ever want. Great sound quality outdoors, in the car, in the wind, in your house, a busy place, wherever. I have this paired with a new model LG phone and its awesome.
This thing actually makes talking on a cell phone a pleasure for me. As far as I am concerned that's all that counts. For $14.99 this is THE deal of the century. Only the jawbone rivals the sound quality. This thing is loud and clear and it just looks cool, without being to geeky like some headsets are. Get this, you will love it!! I am thrilled with this headset and I keep scoring big here on Amazon with great products. Thanks for the positive reviews guys to help me make my purchases!! I am an amazon shopper for life. Oh and by the way...get this headset, it rocks! Don't let the few negative reviews sway you. They are just someones opinion and bias. For $14.99 even if it stinks with your phone you can give it as a gift and someone else will appreciate it! :)
