Why working time so small ? O_o
I like music a lot, so sometimes even 5 hours for me is not enough.

I think i'll better try HPM-88.

Hi,

Just picked up a pair today too. Found the extra buds inside the back compartment with the manuals in a small plastic bag. There is also a small clip as well in there.


Thanks for the information !
I contacted SE directly and they sent me some earbuds, but they don't seem the right type; too small internally. I've contacted them again!

I tried phoning the SE flagship store in High Street Kensington, London (run by Carphone Warehouse) but the phone just rang endlessly. I wonder if they have now shut down?

i finally got my set! and it's great...i love it. except...my right ear gets rather hot after a while. i presume this is due to the battery being located there. wondering if i'll get those radiation headaches (ala. t28 days)

Hi,

Just to share my non-IT but as end-user personal experience with HBH-IS 800 which I received couple days ago…

Price: around US$112.25

Paring with SE W980i and Blackberry BOLD 9000 without problem.

Conversation on both ends (office and mall environments) is clear. Score: 8/10*

Signal break-up or hic-ups occurs in the area where electronic equipments are used (eg. electronic stores, phone shops, etc.) Score 8/10*

Blocking noise from outside: moderate. Score: 7/10*

Music stream produced mostly flat tone; even though EQ’s are adjusted in both W980i and BOLD. This is very disappointed (or is it my ears?) Score: 6/10*

Control: limited because, due to the size, it has only one button. Mostly you have to interact with the phone first e.g. you have to press play from the phone before use a control on IS800 to stop/pause. Score: 6/10*

Wearing comfort: moderate (noted default size that attached to the unit when you open the box is small. You may need to change it in order to fit your ears and block the outside noise). Score: 10/10 (This is a main reason I bought this because there is nothing hanging around my neck).

LED indicators: white next to a microphone and red/green on a right earbud. You can't see it when you wear it. Score: 5/10*

Battery Time: N/A. I don’t have it long enough to test this.

* Compared with Sony DRC-BT15 which I’ve been using for the past couple months along with my W980i and BOLD.

If you like the style – just one short cord, this is for you. Or try it before buy it.
If you like to listen to music and want a quality BT headphone, this may not be the one for you.

So… this is my opinion.

Cheers,

Darwin

yesterday i got about 2.5-3hours of music playback before it gave a melodic chirp and died. i'm a wee bit disapppointed at it's battery lifespan. the right earbud got hot enough for me to remove it. and i noticed that when i grab the right earbud with a little squeeze, my music drops. i'm not sure if this is a faulty unit and i should be sending this in. is anyone else facing this?

How hot is it? The manual indicates that the unit can get warm because of the battery. However, no heat issue nor sound drop for me. You should send it out for a check or get a replacement. I will update on usage time. I honest don't think it will give more than 3.5 hours of continuous use due to its size.

Don't you have a receipt or any proof of purchase? The unit is so new and just came out less than a month. This should do it.

What's your thought on sound quality? Does it give you a good deep bass and high treble responses?

i recently bought SE HBH-DS980 and the audio quality is just superb for me.

What about this one HBH-IS980 if compared to the DS980? [addsig]

can u guys summarize on the continues music play time?

Some people are getting anywhere from 1.5 hours to 3.5 - Anybody got 4 hours of play? Did you charge the unit 10 hours the first time?

Never had 4hours of playback.
Usually 2h45 of playing time.

There is no need to charge the battery 10 hours the first time. It won't let you anyway, it stops chargin when the light turn from red to green and that takes 2~3h

Actually you need let it charge for 6-8 hours the first times, in order the battery reaches its full capacity, after that you only need 2-3 hours as you say

that's what I heard also, you need to charge it properly otherwise you dont get the full capacity. And some poeple are stating 4.5 hours of play time.
Anyways, what does full volume mean anyways.
With an earbud, I can get a maximum of 1/2 if not 1/3 of the maximum volume on my p1i even without the mod. Anything else is insane...
