Three days ago I bought this headset, before I owned a HBH-600. If anyone wants my opinion or advices, please post!

Whaasup dude . . . i just bought the hbh-300 a week ago , but im kind of interested to see how this hbh-660 delivers the goods . . . battery life ? comfortable ?? voice clarity ?? call dropping ?? please give me some info . . . cheers

Posted by stamos
tell us generally if you are satisfied with this headset.how long do you use it without charging?
can you see the last call from its screen?

Posted by rickyvamp
Ok, the battery life is much, much better than HBH-600. I charged it 3 days ago and I used it for 5 or 6 medium long calls.
Many hours in stand by a some tests with voice dialing.
The display at today show the battery indicator almost at full charge.
This very little display is more useful for me for battery indicator than other. It is lighted for a while only when HS is connected to phone.
For now I have not found any other functionality of the display than battery and name/number calling.

HBH-660 is a little heavier than 600 and a bit less confortable.
For motorcyle users I can say that I can use it ander a jet type Helmet.
My phone is a SE Z-600 for the moment

i to have the hbh-660 it is an excellent headset... i use it with the s700i works like a treat!!!

i got it two weeks ago i charged it for 2/3 hours and since then im only on half battery with average use.

also dont keep it in my ear all the time so the caller display is very handy...

it is definatly worth having...

ENJOY

Just got mine today. First impressions:

- love the display, perfectly functional and saves me having to whop the massive P910i out of my pocket every time I get a call, to see who it is!

- heavy on the ear, i had an hbh-60 and it is far heavier, so as to be uncomfortable after wearing for too long.

- overall, for the use of the display, it's a winner, but my HS-810 beats it in every other department. Tough decision!

I got mine -- works GREAT. Long battery life, screen works wonderfully.

Does anyone know where you can get replacements for those little lanyards the hbh-600 and the hbh-660 come with tho?



Posted by neo001
Does it come with a carrying pouch like the hbh-65 ??

Posted by masseur
no, neither the HBH-600 or HBH-660 come with the case that used to come with previous models.

with the HBH-600 you can buy the ISK-600 kit which includes style-up colours for the headset and the case. I haven't seen anything that includes the case for the HBH-660 yet

@ . . . masseur

Thanks dude !! just wanted to know . . . cheers

Posted by rickyvamp
It cames only with a necklace, but I use the soft pouch of the HBH-600 that fits perfectly.

At today, battery level is always almost at full charge, and yesterdays I made many calls

hi there i am interested in the hbh-660, can you tell me will it work with other manufacturers handset? and will caller ID work? can someone plz confirm. many thanks

Posted by Jamin
If it works the same way the hbh 200 does then it will work with all the bluetooth phones but the caller id will only work with SE phones. With some nokia and siemens phone you will get the number but not the name

Posted by p900 lover
the HBB-660, what is the weight of it compared to the HBH-65?

thanks

I'm curious about everyone's battery experiences with the 660, so thanks, and please keep us posted on that as you get more use out of it.

I have a Q tho; the site lists two colors available (apparently): grey and silver. Does that mean there are two versions, or is it just that the one version is gray _and_ silver. Thanks!

Posted by dave_uk
Well, having had my grey and silver(!) HBH-660 for a couple of days, I'm liking it more and more. It is a bit heavier than the HBH-60, to answer whoever asked, but I am pleasantly amazed by the battery life for an headset. I have given it a pretty good workout in the last 48 hours and the battery appears to have lost one bar! Plus, after wearing it a bit, it is actually a very comfortable headset - just a shame they had to dispense with the idea of putting all the weight behind the ear, rather than on it, as they did with the HBH-30, but still keep the short boom that the HBH-6x(x)'s have.

But, I'm warming to it, and it just might get the vote over the HS-810 for when the HCB-30's not in use....note to self: must stop buying toys.....

I got my 660 a while back and the battery life seems to be phenomenal (though this is my very first bluetooth headset, so I can't really compare to what a "bad" battery life is).

I like the status display and I find it very helpful. I leave my K700i in it's case and I can see who's calling just by looking at the headset.

Though I do find it a tad uncomfortable. The reason I say this is because the little piece that sticks out that I guess is supposed to go in your ear, doesn't go in my ear. As if the headset was too short, so it doesn't rest "in" my ear but just next to it.

But overall I'm glad with this headset. The one thing that worries me about these short headsets is that I thought that the mic would be too sensitive and that the person on the other line would be complaining that all they hear is background noise (and hardly hear my voice). But it turns out that they can hear me clearly (some say a little too loud) but hardly to no background noise interfering. Definitely would recommend this headset.

Ok, I recharded mine after 5 days, not always on, naturally. But many hours of standby and my calls.

For the battery status bar I must say that the first segment goes away very soon and when the second is gone you ear a low battery warning beep. So the battery bar has only 3 positions I think: Full, 3/4 full and 1/4 full (low batt)

Nobody mentioned anything aboout voice clarity and recognition, it must be better than hbh-60, right?

hello,
can you pls tell me:
1.can the 660 be used as a headfone with the v800 to play songs over bluetooth?
2.what are the differences between the 660 and the 600?
thnx


Posted by rickyvamp
After many days of use I found an issue.
I use it with a Z600 and many times at incoming call the display does'nt show neither name or number, but only a little phone receiver.

I paired the HS many times, but the issue is still here.
I think it may depend from phone.

For who asked, voice clarity is veri good, both in out e in calls, and speech recognitions is good in not noisy environments.

Another curiosity: I have a hbh-600 too, I brought it to assistance for battery issue (life too short), after 1 month, the returned me another hbh-660, perhaps because all 600 are defective or out of production

I use 660 for some weeks (bought in USA). Brilliant headset. Battery life is top and it suits perfectly, much better than motos hs810.
I used it with T630 and use it now with Z1010 without any probs.

I think, itīs a good choice to buy it.

Posted by giffy
scuidgy!!! How much 660 in us? thx

Posted by libben
What can you do with the 660?


Like if I would like to call someone that is in my phone book, do I need to whop the phone out? or can i handle it all from the headset?
I only see like one button on it =).

More details please.


Posted by mathios
I have one too for a month now,battery life is great,exept for the battery meter,inacurate it stands a click lower for 3 days and on the 4th day it plunges down to the end till it starts beaping. but overall it is teriffic!

Posted by samkatta
I have the 660 as well but only shows the number with incoming calls and not the name (which is ofcourse stored on the phone memory), so is that the way it should be or it depends on the phone used?

Posted by vally
Hi,

I would like to know, that the display of HBH-660 is working with my Moto V600 (I mean it displays the number or anything)?

thanks

Posted by samkatta
Yes it works with the V600, but I need to know does it display the name or only the number?

Posted by eugseow
HBH-660 has problems with prolong standby pairing like more than 8 hours or so. My P910i will show its connected, but there is no sound whenever a call come in.

I need to reboot, switch off and on, the phone to get the headset operational again.

I am pretty sure its not my P910i, cos the same happen with my Nokia when paired with this HBH-660.

HBH 660 & Ipaq 6315

Does anybody knows how to synchronize the Ipaq6315 phonebook and the HBH 660 headset? Everytime someone calls me, it only shows 'UNKNOWN' on the screen.
Thanks

Posted by vally
I thing there is no hope, it doesnt works on my XDA too...

Posted by ajloza1
Thanks Vally,

just bought the HBH 660, impressed with the voice quality and battery life. Not impressed with the ergonomics. SE could have use a softer rubber for the speaker for a more comfortable fit. Also, could have enlarged or used a adjustable wire covered in soft rubber for the over the ear piece so that it can be adjusted for all ears and fit better.

Had the Jabara BT 200 and the Bluetrek G2

Folks, would like to know whether t630 runs in full function mode with this headset

Posted by vally
Yes.

I love my HBH-600, there's nothing in or on my ear, only around it. I use the strap in my car, so I don't have to wear it a for long time. I really like the caller ID and it always shows me the name if it's in my phonebook.

Also for me the battery life is supurb, if I don't use it much it's at least a week. My S700i is something different, that needs charging everey two days:(

What I really like is that if I switch my BT on on my S700i, the BT won't be occupied. Only when I make or recieve a call the phone will bond with the headset and switch to the headset profile.
Sometimes this isn't so nice, because when I've switched my S700i to silent mode and I recieve a call, it will switch to headset mode and play my ringtone....well I've to make sure I press the button on the HBH-600 once so the devices are bonded.

Hi,
Ive currently got a HBH-200 and use it with my K700i. The battery life for my HBH-200 is quite poor (Ive had it for a couple of years). Im looking to buy a new headset and looking at either the HBH-602 or HBH-660. I like the idea of a screen on the headset hence am swaying towards the 660. However the most important thing is the battery life... Can anyone provide details for the 602 (SE website doesnt seem to have them). Any suggestions for other long-life headsets? Also, Im thinking of buying the headset on ebay (its quite a bit cheaper) though its shipping from Hong Kong... Anything I should be aware of? (apart from the obvious P&P & insurance).
Thanks for any help.

Any HBH660 users wear glasses? Is it comfortable if you're a glasses wearer?

Posted by arroyootje
I have had many bluetooths going back to the crappy motorola one and the several sonyericsson, I have always sold them and thought i would wait for a few years cos it was all basically crap. But the SE HBH 660 i really wonderful, i have been using it for almost two months now and have had no problems at all! I would really recommend it to anyone!

Posted by tme
What do you guys think of buying an HBH-660s from ebay? They seem to be selling for much lower than places like expansys. I'm not sure if the prices are too good to be true (i.e. get scammed).

Posted by CARTMAN
I bought one off e-bay for Ģ43 arrived on friday from Hong Kong

Posted by stamos
With R2AE on K700 i think that they dont work together fine.a lot of time till now(2 weeks i have the new version) it disconnects and closes the bluetooth on the phone.i think it was better with the R2L
