Review of HBH-DS970

[Guest kvl]

Ever since I got my HERMES, my fingers have been itching for another gadget.

I've been looking around for a Bluetooth Headset and finally decided on the Sony Ericsson Headset. I've had it for several weeks now, so thought I'd share my thoughts.

First impressions:

I was thinking about getting the Bluetooth headsets where they sit on the back of the ears (sure there is a special name for these-just don't know!) like big ear muffs. Until I came across these. I must admit once I had played with them in the shop, I had to go and think about them, especially as they were

Nice review kvl,

I have been on the lookout for some A2DP headphones/headset since before I got my VarioII.

Just one quick question, did they work straight ouyt of the box? i.e. no messing around with settings on the hermes (well not too much messing around anyway).

Ricardo,

Yup they worked out the box, even to the extent that I did not have to look at the instructions - yes the pin was easy to guess.

I changed nothing on the HERMES

any idea of the price of it in Singapore?

[Guest bennish]

Careful. There are a LOT of fakes - it's the most faked audio accessory i think.

I am wondering what the battery life is and if it displays chinese fonts.

Lost my headset for hermes. Now desperate to find something good to use.

hi there, im considering getting these but just wanted to know:

1. How good it the quility compaired to normal wired headphones?

2. what other information is displayed on the screen? SMS message? Missed called? Voice mail etc etc?

3. what is the battery indicator like? Is it just simply 3 bars or does it have a more detailed display?

4. whats the charge time?

5. are there any features on these headphones which would NOT be supported by the vario II?

thanks
