hs850 sucks big time

ok i've tried 3 different hs850's, even the black japanese version, and they all suck. why? because if you have your headset on full volume (so you can actually hear the caller) the microphone picks up the sound, so the caller on the other end hears an "echo" of there own voice. You would think that moto would think ahead about that, but i guess not. plus i am getting way too much crackle out of this thing... range is ok, and battery like is amazing, but all that is useless if the dang thing wont perform well.

Yeah, I guess turning down the volume would be an obvious solution to the echo... but given that the 850 is on the quiet side, especially for in-car usage, that's not a solution at all since it's either max or nothing.

This seems like just a design deficiency with boom-less (or small boom) designs. Without good enough circuitry to counter echo then it'll always be true. Until then, we need at least a small bit of boom on there... kinda like the Logitech Freedom... which I still want to test.

Of course then comes the static issue. For me, I'd like to be able to at least walk around a room w/o static. I don't expect this to be a cordless phone since it's too low powered but at least meeting the 30ft thing would be good.

The best t...
