 love it September 23, 2008
i've been using this headset for about 6 months now and absolutely love it. i have used it for phone calls on one device and music on the other. it switches back and forth as advertised. the only other feature i wish it had was to be able to take calls from 2 phones on it.
HBH-DS980 - a good stereo bluetooth headset September 22, 2008

I'll pile on with praise of this unit. I have owned it for over a year and love it. I have used it to pair with Windows Mobile devices (HTC TYTN, HTC TYTN2 a.k.a. AT&T Tilt, HTC Touch Pro) and have found the pairing process to be quick and painless. A2DP remote audio controls work great.
I do not have any issues with the wires getting tangled (which happens a lot with other headsets) as the wires are nice and thick. Sound reproduction is very good, considering you are receiving a compressed audio signal over the air (Hifi purists won't be satisfied, but they beat my Sennheiser MX-90 in-ear headphones especially in the upper end). The volume level is good, not great. If you think the audio quality isn't that good, try another size of earpad (it comes with three sizes).
Biggest complaint is the proprietary charger, as has been said before. Also the medallion itself could be a little smaller. These are minor quibbles.
Get yourself this nice pair of headphones.
Great For iPod September 5, 2008
I just started using this product and am very pleased so far. I bought it to pair with a Bluetooth transmitter (also bought from Amazon) plugged into my iPod, and it works great. The pairing was easy and fast, and so far there's been no disruption in signal, unlike similar products I've tried in the past. The lanyard style is great, and I like that the ear pieces are comfortable in-ear plugs - the bud style doesn't work for me. If you're looking to cut the wires between your iPod and your ears, this is a good solution
Great Buy! Definitely worth the money. August 30, 2008
All I can say is...great job Sony! The pros of the headset go above and beyond. I purchased this unit to use with my Nokia N95-8GB and they work great. The sound quality is wonderful and the comfort of the buds make it easy listening to music for long periods of time. The bass is deep and rich and the clarity is great. No fuzzy radio type signals. Although you need to remember that the buds will only sound as good as the source of the signal. Meaning that if you have a crappy phone and a crappy signal you will get crappy results.
The cons are just like any headset. The battery life could be better (about 8 hours of straight use) and the mic and talk button is on the left side bud and not the right (personal preference). Every now and again you do get a slight disruption (again its only good as the signal) and the lack of the ability to use its full functionality on NON-Sony Ericsson Phones is definitely something of a nuisance.
All and all I give the unit five stars. I charge it every night and never leave the house without it. The unit hides under my shirt and I don't have the worry about dangling wires attaching myself to my phone. Again I think it's a great buy and money well spent.
 HUGE letdown July 20, 2008
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
Based on the other reviews, I was ready to be impressed with this headset. I tried to keep an open mind, but I've had enough. I know a lot of people like noise isolating gel earbuds to get better sound, but I hate those. I want to be able to hear a car horn or a person's voice around me. The sound quality was excellent for a few seconds, but I had to keep pushing the buds deeper in my ears, otherwise they would wiggle out and sound tinny. The bluetooth functions were great, but if you move around, the signal drops out. Well, even when I was sitting still on the beach, the signal would drop out and the music would skip. Worst of all, the first unit I had died after about two weeks. I returned it for a replacement, thinking I got a dud. The second one died after a week and a half. The battery was charged, the music was playing, a buzzing chirping noise came through the buds, and then it was completely dead. I couldn't power it up, recharge it or reset it according to the instruction manual. I just sent my second one back for a full refund.
for $100 I expected a working product. What a letdown.
