I have tried this Sony bluetooth headset with a Nokia E62 and a MotoRAZR. This is my second BT headset after a Plantronics Explorer 340. The Plantronics kept dropping the connection, and wasn't easy to charge - the power connection was flaky.
Pros:
1. The bluetooth connection is quite stable. Very happy. [When it starts dropping, I know it's time to recharge, and then things are fine again.]
2. Earbuds stay in ears (bike to work and back with buds in-ear.)
3. Voice quality both ways is good - I haven't tried it in windy conditions, though.
4. LONG battery life. I haven't measured it, if I do, I'll post. Good charging cradle.
5. Incoming call is heard through both earbuds.
6. As a music player, it is pretty decent. Not the same as my Sennheiser HD280 Pro headset, but way lighter, and works with my phone! As long as you accept that this is designed to be used with phones and phone music isn't the highest quality, I think you will be happy.
Personally, I don't feel any great loss of audio quality, and I often leave my 4G iPod, with its wired headset, behind. (I have a 2 GB card on my Nokia E62, and the Nokia music manager compresses mp3 files even further to e-AAC which is less than half the mp3's size!)
Cons (all minor):
The clip could be stronger, but I haven't lost it :-)
Wiring could be longer, but is OK.
To turn on/off, need to keep the button pressed for five seconds or so - seems really long, and no tactile feedback to know the button's pressed.
If I push the ear-buds in too tight, get the pressure-in-ear feeling, but that's probably the case with all ear-buds. I don't push them in tight, and they work fine.
Overall, I am quite happy with the Sony DR-BT10CX. I'd recommend it for phone/phone-music applications. |  | Reviewed on 2007-05-19      Not good for music. Average as a headset These headphones are advertised for listening to music. I don't recommend them for that. The sound quality is the same as the cheap headphones you get on an airplane.
The transmit distance is less than five feet. More than that and they lose the signal. They work ok as a cell phone headset but are not worth the price. |  | Reviewed on 2007-05-16      excellent stereo headphones! I use these with my bluetooth PDA. Took about three minuets to pair them and to start rocking. My only complaint is the on/off switch is tricky and it is easy to put the phones into pairing mode instead of turning them off. |  | Reviewed on 2007-03-14      The best stereo sound! PRO:
I have tried a few stereo BT headset/handsfree, itech clip r35, Sony ericsson ds970 . None will give you the sound quality this one does.
The battery life is excellent.
Very few buttons on the unit: On/Off, Vol+ & Vol-. And I am getting used to not having the playback control on the unit.
It also comes with a very nice charging station.
After successful initial pairing, it will auto-pairing with the host in handsfree profile everytime they see each other.
CON:
A2DP profile needs to be connected manually from the host.
Annoying beeping sound when A2DP is connected but player has stopped of pause.
Weak clip.
Very few buttons with no playback control
If u own a ppc phone and use it like an Ipod to play mp3 all the time, you will love this headset. |  |
