  Fantastic!! i have been using it for a week now and i love it. it's connected to my nokia 6288 and sounds great. sounds **** on my old phone though. (not sony's fault.)

  • Good: battery life and sound is ace
  • Bad: weight of neck piece

  I think this thing is great.
  It is a little bulky, but I find if I tuck the controller under my shirt I can still use it when I job with very little inconvenience. The batter life isn't bad, but I wouldn't recommend it for use at work via a USB bluetooth dongle. The sound is great! The only thing I hate about this device is that it doesn't always connect with my phone. Though that could be a drawback of my SE K790a phone.
  

  • Good: Great Sound. Lightweight. Ear buds are very comfortable and come in small, medium and large.
  • Bad: The battery life isn't that great for all day use. The connection can be frustrating at times.

  i've been using this headset for about two months now. the device was a little bigger and heavier than i expected (i expected something slimmer) - this is just me not paying attention to specifications i guess. the positive of that would be the battery life which i'm very happy about it as the headset has yet to run out of juice (i charge it every night) - my phone (Dash) is the bottle neck in terms of battery life. in terms of form factor sony got it pretty good i think. i do have couple complaints about it though:
  they placed mic at the bottom of the neck band - i would've liked it to be way higher on the side of band. as it is right now mic picks up a lot of surrounding noise and you unconciously lower your head to be heard better.
  strap should've been adjustable in terms of lenght.
  
  music sound quality: personally i think it's a little worse than the sony mdr's ex51. bass is not as tight and some sounds feel 'scratchy'/'noisy' - i'm no audiphile though to speak of this
  talk quality is good - can hear people clearly
  i do get some pauses from time to time but that happens rarely - every half an hour maybe and goes away in 30 secs or so
  one other annoyance i have may be due to my unwillingness to fiddle with the headset but at its initial (and current) state it wouldn't let me pick up incoming calls by pressing the button on the headset instead i have to answer via phone and then change it manually to headset. outgoing calls are fine though.

  • Good: discreet convinient form factor, great battery life. good sound qualities.
  • Bad: issues w/ picking up incoming calls. mic pics up a lot of surrounding noise

  The device is ok but just like the 1st comment its irritating that music pauses every few seconds while listing through Bluetooth which makes it difficult for me to enjoy listing to music while relaxing…I bought this device for about 80 bucks and wish I returned it sooner oh well if you get this device for hands free use it may be excellent if you plan on listing to your favorite tunes then be flexible

  • Good: great stero sound
  • Bad: too many pauses and breaks in use

  I've used this very nice device for over 2 weeks now in combination with my HTC device.
  
  My overall experiences are possitive.
  
  Comment on the sound when playing music:
  
  Negative: If you listen carefully, there is a very soft (but clearly present) highsound noticable when playing music at a louder volume.
  
  Moreover, sometimes my mp3 files have a sudden pause (half a second or so) and entering information or accessing programs on my device, is extremely slow while listening to music. I guess do to limitations of my CPU, but it is worthwile knowing in advance for everyone.
  
  Comment on the sound when calling:
  Sound quality is good enough and the volume is perfectly addaptable, but a slight cracking noice in the back every-now-and-then. Sometimes when receiving a call, it takes a while before the caller actually hears you.
  
  When receiving a call while listening to music, it is fairly impossible to use your HTC device, since it will be very slow.
  
  The speed of my device is fine however when receiving at a time when mediaplayer is switched off.
  
  In crowded places, its harder to communicate since the BTheadset pics up a lot of surrounding noice.

  • Good: Sound: Overall fairly good, bass is perfect!
