Motorola H800 Review

Comfort:
Putting H800 in place is very easy – all you have to do is hook it on your ear and adjust the headset in the position that you find most convenient. It won’t be as easy, though, if you decide to transfer the headset to your other ear. You’ll have to remove the whole earhook from the headset, turn it round and put it in place again. However, when you do it a few times, this won’t look as difficult to you as in the beginning. The device stays steadily on the ear, it does not move with the head and it does not lean forward, thanks to the specific attachment.
Wearing the device is not fun; you start to feel it in about 30 minutes. This is due to the slim earhook, which digs into your ear and creates discomfort. After two hours of wearing this discomfort becomes a dull pain, caused by the pressure of the hook on the ear.
One of the problems you might have is that, when pressing the call key, you press simultaneously the headset so that the edge of its back is driven into your ear. If you take more calls, you might feel pain, resulting from this pressure. The combination of these two inconveniences causes a discomfort that might develop into pain if you use the phone more.
In spite of this, when choosing a headset, you have to check whether it fits well, because this depends mainly on the shape and size of your ear. It is possible that it fits well and comfortably on your ear and at the same time it causes discomfort and even pain to somebody else.
Conclusion:
While initially our interest was captured by the sliding boom of the headset, it ended when we realized how uncomfortable it is for wearing. The call quality is OK but is nothing superb, so if you are not a fan of the design (and not many will be), the H800 will not be among your favorites.
