Accessory Type: Bluetooth Headset
Brand: Sony Ericsson
Price: $84.95
Where Purchased: Blueheadsets.com
Time Used: 24 hours
Used With Which Phone: Treo 650
Rating (1-5 Stars): 4.5
First off, wanted to say where I bought it from as I got great service.
My total came out to $124.90, overnight shipped to Hawaii. I just wanted to say these guys did a great job sending it out on a HOLIDAY (Discoverer's Day). They shipped VERY fast but I also let them know I needed it ASAP. They include a FREE car charger and lifetime waranty which is what made me go with them rather than an ebay vendor.
Okay well first impression:
1. VERY sleek and stylish compared to the HBH-660 and the HS850. I put the black face plate on and it looks really good.
2. Pairing is VERY easy, I turned it on after charging it for 8 hours and it immediately went looking for my phone. I already had my Treo 650 (SPRINT) searching for it so it found it right away.
3. Calls connect in .5 seconds. Id say instantly. It does have a tone while my voice dial is dialing a number but I find it to be a good feature while others hate it.
4. No redial :(.
5. Volume is decent, I dont know if the cancellation is working but other have reported I sound clear. I blasted my music in the car and my girlfriend couldnt hear me on the other line very well. Clarity is a not as good if the phone is on the opposite side of my body than the headset.
6. I get static when my body is in between the headset and the phone. I also get static 5 feet away when the headset is on the opposite side of my body not facing the phone. When facing the phone with the headset I can get about 10 feet away before the person on the other line cant hear me.
7. FITMENT! It at first hurt but after adjusting the hook and pushing the set farther towards my ear, it "slid" right into my canal and felt very comfortable. I wore it overnight to see how my ears could take it and I woke up with no pain on my ear.
8. Its a SMALL amount heavier than the HBH-600, I suspect its from the better speaker having a bigger magnet.
Very happy with the purchase. I bought it for the future when my next phone has Bluetooth 2.0 or whatever will be out when I upgrade from the Treo. My friend bought a Plantronics 640 the same day mine arrived and if I didnt buy this one I would have bought that model. Its VERY much smaller and lighter as well. You can also charge it in your pocket O_O.
Overall, I'm happy with it. Only things that I think hold this thing back are the short range and no redial. Although that might be more of a Treo Bluetooth implementation shortcoming than anything else.
