Motorola HS820 Headset

I'm having very similar problems. I have an HS810 headset. It pairs fine with my PB (1.5 GHz, built in BT). However, it does not show up as an option in the Sound preference panel. I also have an HS850, one of the new headsets with BT 2.0. That one pairs fine, and does show up in the Sound preference panel. However, the performance is at best inconsistent. When I use it with Skype, about half the time it works OK, and the rest of the time it crashes the program, forcing me to do a forced quit. Similar behavior when I try to use it with iChat.

Both headsets worked flawlesly under Panther.

one thing to add about headsets. I have had partial success in pairing a Belkin headset with the d-link adaptor. the sound preference panel shows the Belkin for both input and output, but only the input/mic works. the output comes out through the internal speakers.

Hi Javier,

I'm thinking of getting the HS850 to work with Skype. Did you ever find a solution to get a stable set up?

Thanks,

Paul

Hi!

I tried what you suggested.. pressing the multifunction key! and my Powerbook found the HS820 headset. but when i was trying to use it, does not seem to work..

how would I use it to listen to my itunes for instance?

thanks!

hi,
I was able to pair easy, and it seems to work fine with skype, but the other person says they don't hear me too well.
also, I noticed that if I don't wait for the Motorola HS820 Headset to "hang up"
(the little beep) after I hang up the skype, and try another call, it crashes skype, and also I twice had to power reboot, (which almost never happens!) for no apparent reason.
does anyone have ideas?
