My review is for the Sony Ericsson Stereo Bluetooth™ Headset HBH-DS220 (http://www.sonyericsson.com/spg.jsp?cc=us&lc=en&ver=4000&template=pip1&pid=10976&zone=pp)

First a description: In the box will be three items, the Pendant, a pair of good headphones, and the charger. The pendant is about the size of the width of the 5.5G Ipod. On the front is a small LCD screen that gives you basic information, like the batter status, and if its searching for a device. On the back is a clip to clip the pendant to your shirt. On the top of the pendant, is a place to plug your headphones(or anything with a 3.5mm plug,) next to the connetor is the microphone. And finally on the bottom is the charger port.
I'm using these with my Motorola Razr2 V9M, and I love them!
They were a breeze to pair up with my phone, no more than 30 seconds total! I took them out of the box, turned them on according to the instructions, and put it in pairing mode. Once I set my phone to find them, they automatically connected.
The sound from them is excellent! They come with a good pair of headphones that are fairly comfortable, and come with extra silicon cover things(that go in the ear)!
But, what I loved about this headset, is I could use my own pair of headphones! I hooked up my Shure SE530 Sound Isolating Earphones (http://reviews.cnet.com/Shure_SE530_Sound_Isolating_Earphones/4505-6468_7-32327764.html?tag=pdtl-list) to the base set, and I was getting amazing sound from my phone!
What I also love is when i go outside to excersise and it gets kind of loud, the sound will subtley get higher automatically!
As far as on the phone, I seem to be able to use them with every application, except Sprint TV. When I start Sprint TV, the phone disconnects the bluetooth, no clue why, I might be doing something wrong.
I'm unable to give an estimate on battery life, but I use them everyday, from 07:00-15:00 daily with no problems.
As far as distances, I work in a busy environment and i'm able to walk atleast ten feet from my phone.
Inconclusion, I'd highly recommend anyone looking for a Stereo Bluetooth headset to give these a look. I liked the fact that I could use my own headphones, as my ears had adjusted to them already(i don't know about anyone else, but whenever I change in-ear headphones, my ears hurt for a few days as they adjust to whats in them)!
If you are interested in purchasing these, the only store I found them at was mobilecityonline.com(http://www.mobilecityonline.com/wireless/store/productdetail.asp?productid=22448) And i'm extremely satisfied with their service! I ordered them on a Tuesday, chose overnight delivery, and got them on a wednesday!
PS, i'm also getting an adapter for my ipod so i can pair these with it, and i'll let everyone know how that goes!
