HBH-DS220?

Anyone here tried this new Sony-Ericsson Bluetooth Stereo Headset? Comments? Reviews? Reviews on the web?

yeah I tried it and still am!!!!
I bought the hbh-ds220 about a week ago and have had nothing but trouble.
Is a little temperamental connecting to my TYTN II and it not really clear how the buttons are supposed to work with things like voice dial, redial etc. If you just want it to play and pause music then its just about acceptable. The volume control is a bit naff... you press and hold the play button and it cycles through loud, louder, loudest, quiet, quieter, quitest. There's no visible way to tell what volume level you are on though so its a bit guess work.
The headphones are really poor by Sony standards. They are supposed to be mega bass but have barely any bass response at all.
The worst thing though is the in-call sound quality. It sounds like the person on the other end is talking underwater.
I have looked round the net to find a fix but found none. I can't be the only person having this trouble.
I love Sony products and only buy Sony. I wish I'd never laid ears on this though.
If anyone has any suggestons to improve the sound quality then I'd be grateful.

I bought a DS220 the other day and love it! It paired great with my HTC Touch Dual and I listen to music and take calls etc.
I dumped the SE earphones though and use my own ones.

I spoke too soon!
I am having problems with the phone dropping the connection the the headset after calls. I have to turn the headset off and then on again to reestablish the connection after every call.

it's been a while, but hey, what the heck:

you should try a new one like Nokia original, Jabra etc. I think these are better.
or you will have to take to care center.

I recently bought a Jabra 3030 for my Diamond. And it STINKS. I even went through two of them, thinking that the first was faulty/broken. Nope. They both had a loud background noise that ruined any type of sound quality, not to mention the electronic turn on/off of the bluetooth itself that poked a hole in your ear.
I replaced it with a DS-200 (similar to the DS-220, presumably) and its much, much better. The noise is far less and the turn on/off is barely noticable.
This is just my personal experience though, everyone else seem to praise the 3030 for its quality...

Best Bluetooth Headset for Loud Vehicle

Hey All,
I drive alot for an expedite company, at times in vans and at times in Straight Trucks. Sometimes these trucks van be very loud, as as I can get bored while driving, I talk alot. Here is what I am looking for in a good bluetooth headset, lets see if all you wonderful people can point me in the right direction. Importance of an item is listed from top to bottom.
Oh, this is for an Alltel PPC6800 (Titan) so it is a bluetooth 2.0 phone i think.
1. It needs to pick up me, and not the noise of the truck or that of the road. This is a very large problem with most Bluetooth headsets I try. The ability of the headset to help block the noise around me so I can head well is also a plus.
2. Voice Quality. So often I get crackle or drop out with some headsets. and this can be with as little as 3ft to the phone, quality is a must.
3. Comfort. I currently have a Jabra over the ear headset, and after I wear it more than an hour or so it is sore in my ear. Good comfort is a must.
4. Battery Life. I talk alot when I am driving, nothing better to do, and in most states holding the phone while driving is illegal. Since there is no headset jack on this damn phone, my bluetooth is primart, thus good battery life is a must.
5. Price. Not a major issue. I have no problem spending on a headset that will do what I want. I am not rich by any means, but not afraid to spend $100+ it is really works well and will do what I want. I am not looking for the hype, I am looking for the function.
As a side note, I have no problem with bigger headsets, even full over the head ones (which in some ways I like better). Or a headset that can be a combo such as a good stereo headphone and good phone headset.
Please help me oh wondrous and great xda geeks, you are my only hope.

I have a Jawbone. It has noise cancelation technology. I think Plantronics has a similar model, it's a little cheaper.

I would assume the noise canceling works well for people hearing you, how does it do for you hearing them in a loud environment?

My BT stereo journey - a mini review

After a long search for the perfect BT stereo headset for my 8125, I've found it.
The Plantronics Voyager 855.
Over the past couple of years, I've had the opportunity to try a number of BT stereo options, from Motorola, Sony Ericsson and some lesser known companies like Sonorix and i-Clip, amongst others.
I was never quite happy with any of them though.
I take the subway to work, and every set of Motorola headset I tried would lose it's pairing to the phone whenever I either lost the cell signal, or regained it (which meant re-pairing 4 times a day). This also happend with non-stereo Motorola when working in conjunction with BTToggle.
The i-Clips actually functioned alright although the stereo quality was only so-so. For answering the phone, the sound quality was really poor unless I held that big clip close to my mouth, and cupped it if I was outside (even if it wasn't really windy).
The Sonorix, though cool because it allowed me to use my own headphones with it's jack, would need to be re-paired every 3 days or so. I don't know why. I was wondering if it was my phone, even though I had flashed to a ROM that everyone else enjoys.
The Sony earbuds sounded good, and functioned great (the only set who's audio controls functioned flawlessly to this point). Having the dangly stick and extra wires made me wonder why I'm bothering with bluetooth at all, though. Wearing a pendant with to earbud extensions running out of it wasn't as practical or cool as the promo material made it out to be.
In short, no bluetooth stereo headset quite met my criteria... either functionality wise, or form factor.
Until I tried the Plantronics Voyager last month.
It's design is perfect for my needs. It's a typical in ear BT headset, with a clip on ear hook. What makes it cool is the clip on ear hook is the connection to the second earbud (and the cord is braided to be more durable).
The sound quality is right up there with the best of the bunch.
I've not run into any re-pairing issues.
The slide out boom works flawlessly for answering/hanging up calls and all the controls work as they should (only the Sony matched that previously).
6hrs of stereo seemed a fair assessment for battery life from my tests.
The Plantronics comes with a good selection of ear buds (small, medium and large as well as the foam type that mold to your ear canal shape), as well as a couple of optional ear clips if you don't want the stereo dangler.
To conserve battery, I often just use BTToggle to get mono audio (out of both sides) when I'm listening to podcasts. It's definitely a hit on audio quality, but that's okay when it's just talking heads.
The only place where Plantronics loses marks is it's charging situation. Though they can be charged from a USB cable from a computer, Plantronics opted for a slightly different connector than a typical mini-USB one, even though there's plenty of space for one.
Of course the old Wizard barely manages to keep up if I'm running Core Player to watch a DivX vid and streaming BT stereo. If a call comes in, it's slowdown time. Then again, I'm usually watching the vids on the subway, so that rarely comes into play.
In short, I finally found the perfect BT stereo headset for me, and just wanted to share. They're discreet, multifunctional and just reek of quality (the braided cord made the difference in keeping them).
PS: I wanted to try out the Jabra 8010 but couldn't find them locally. The Jabra headset has call-display, and apparently a vibrate feature, so if anyone's tried them, I'd be curious to hear about their performance.
Cheers.

Any skipping like the Motorola s9 ?

[Q] The best bluetooth headset for MT4G?

Can anybody suggest a good bluetooth headset for MT4G?
How is SE MW600? I would like to know if anyone could see the song title in the set and whether all the volume up, down, next etc are working fine.

you could always google search "SE MW600 review" and see what people say. And if you want end users try punching in "amazon SE MW600 review" and see what they are saying.
Personally i use an older Motorola ear bud that serves the purpose.

I Work At best buy and I'm using the Plantronics 975 its a great device very comfortable with great noise cancellation

plantronics 855 is a great headset. a2dp stereo bluetooth and a removable earpiece.

I've been using mine with a Jawbone Icon (Rogue) and I haven't had any issues. It's light, stylish and very functional.

I don't know if these are the "best" but I have the Motorola behind the neck ROKRs, and like them.

imho
Plantronics Voyager Pro +
Willing to bet you one dollar paypal that it's the best bluetooth you've ever owned.
Reasons:
Gel air filled custom ear fittings *these actually screw on too , very impressive
long mic boom (so people can actually hear you)
not one person to date has said I sound like sh*t (FINALLY)
a2dp support
status updates by pressing power button (announces battery time remaining)
press and hold outer button, it calls a toll free number that you can configure on a website to hookup with your e-mail, it reads rss feeds, news.
I also work for t-mobile and I've used bluetooth headsets ranging from 29.99 to 199.99, some of them I thought were amazing (motorola backbeats) but the problem always came down to whoever I was talking on the phone saying
"dude are you on bluetoooth?"
me: yes
"you sound like sh*t"
me: YARGGGGG HOW MUCH MONEY DO I HAVE TO SPEND TO SOUND DECENT

Many beg to differ, but I've owned the same pair of rocketfish headsets for almost two years now...very good to me with many sweaty head days at the gym.

I know this is a late reply but I thought I would throw in my 2 cents on the topic.
I was looking for something to listen to music while at work (desk job), working out, etc.
I ended up buying the Motorola S305 from Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002BH3I9U)
I have had these now since February and I am extremely happy with them.
PROS
Comfortable to wear
Decent sound quality
Easy to use controls
Phone headset is has good call quality. Others can hear me as if i'm on the handset
Micro USB charger, same as phone
low cost
CONS
Foam earpieces soak up sweat
no noise cancellation
Overall, for $35.00, you can't go wrong!

Plantronics seems to be the winner. I have both 925 and 975. Both are optimal and work fantastically.
Now my 925 is paired with my HD2, and the 975 with MT4G.

Are any of these recommended for both phone calls and for working out (sweat resistant)? I'm just mainly looking for headphones for working out minus the dang cord. Also if I get a phone call when I'm working out or shooting basketball, I wanna be able to answer without stopping.

bump... anyone have an opinion? Just waitin to buy one for some input from people who I actually trust lol

I've owned the Plantronics BackBeat 906 for almost a year and have had mixed results with both a G1 and a MT4G.
It can be so comfortable that I forget I'm wearing it. But sometimes the earbuds are loose, mostly when worn under bicycle helmet straps. Because it's loose, I can't hear music very well.
Audio sounds great. Convenient controls. Haven't figured out how to skip a song on Pandora or a podcast on Listen though. Clicking play sometimes starts a saved voicemail rather than Google Listen or Pandora. I'm not sure how to define the "default" media app in Android.
Paring is hit-or-miss. Often it pairs with just the phone audio and not the media audio. This happened more on the T-Mobile ROM than it does on Cyanogenmod 7, but still happens. The solution is a cumbersome opening of the BT settings, long-press the device, un-check and then re-check Media Audio.
Reception is good if the phone is within 20-30 feet (the advertised range.) Reception is horrible if the phone is in a pocket. I have a backpack with a very high pocket and that usually works, unless I turn my head to the left. It is VERY annoying.
Here's what I sent to Panasonic:
I own a G1 Android-powered phone and about 50% of the time when I turn on my BackBeat 906 it syncs with the phone audio, but not the media. Is there some trick to get it to sync with both?
Also, the reception is so poor that when the phone is in my pocket the audio drops out completely. I am tall, but much less than 30' tall.

Their response:
Please try a reset...press and hold the power button on the headphones....and while you are doing that, please connect the charger to the Backbeats until you see a blue or red solid light and then release the button.....let it charge for an extra 30 seconds and then try to use them
Also, delete the headset from your cell phone's list of paired devices. Once deleted, make sure to power your phone completely off. Then power it back on. (This will reset the Bluetooth stack in the BT software on the phone). Then re-pair the headset with your phone.
If this does not fix your issue, my suggestion is to try pairing the headset to another cell phone, if possible. If the issue continues with the second phone, you will need to replace the headset. If your headset connects properly to the second phone, then the problem may be with the first phone rather than the headset.

...did not help. I still struggle with piss-poor reception when the phone is in a pocket.

well what frickin good is a bluetooth headphone set if you can't have the phone in your pocket lol

Yes Rosebud1, it is extremely frustrating! It's fine sitting on a desk, but for cycling, running, or walking I would not recommend this headset.

Thanks for the reply. What horrible customer service too!!

Yeah, it was a pretty useless response. I suspect it's just a horrid design flaw that they know they can't fix, so sending the customer on a wild goose-chase delays the inevitable.

U should check out the jabra clipper. I use it when I work out n its awesome

so basically... it seems like no one has found a really good set for a decent price

Under a motorcycle helmet
I am looking for a bluetooth headset that will fix and work well under my motorcycle helmet. Any recommendations?

Best bluetooth headphones (music) ?

What in your opinion, is the best bluetooth headphone set?
Not the kind that you use for when you're driving, but the kind where you can actually listen to music with.

Sennheiser, Monster Beats Wireless. It depends on how much money u have

I think Sony Ericsson MW-600 is great sounding.

moto
I've been using these for a while and they are great!

well not sure where your from but in the uk we have this kill 2 birds one stone im getting it coz i can give my dad the hands free kit
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/moor-stereo-headset-with-free-visor-blade-car-kit-p35471.htm

well if your looking for something relatively cheap, try the Creative WP-350 - they have a great build, excellent sound and intergrated controls and mic in the ear cups. Real good value for money IMO
If you can splash out a bit more try some Sennheiser PX210BT (No Mic) or the Noise Cancelling Version with Mic - PXC 310 BT. Both are excellent headphones.
But one thing to note - bluetooth audio is always a bit hit and miss, when I listen to the BBC radio app or in Tune app through bluetooth, there are times when it cuts out for no reason, quite annoying when listening to talk shows.
