Sweet, I've been looking for a decent BT stereo headset but this one looks great, I wonder how much it will be though?

Agreed! Not to mention the loss of the LCD is bothersome - now you'll have to guess in some random playlist which track is playing.
PS: I get a lot of playlists from local DJ's in Toronto and tracks don't have names pre-encoded as their recorded and sent to me like a continuous LP Album.
This design looks strikingly similar to the nokia-bh-111 which is not a bad thing.
HD Voice support is a HUGE boon, along with NFC pairing for bluetooth is super cool. I'm VERY curious if you restore your smartphone to factory settings and then restore you backup if the NFC pairing would auto reconnect to the Bluetooth accessories? By default Bluetooth on its own forbids this and thus you'll have to repair again; something I'm finding annoying as I'm beta testing a lot of firmwares as they debut on my Z10 and pairing with the BB Stereo Speaker S is a pain when I just want to tap and jump into the shower or go for a skate.
Hold the phone before ordering .... 2 things!

1. The SBH20 has an 110mAh battery capable of six hours of talk time or streaming music.
2. Sony Wireless Headset DR-BTN200M, comes embedded with a 145mAh battery capable of 40 hours stream time.
... so 35mAh equals a difference of 32hrs of playback time?! That's VERY significant, as in a HUGE difference, does that even make sense?!
DR-BTN200M

Hi everyone!
Got my Sony Wireless Headset DR-BTN200M with a £60 reduction because of issues with my Xperia Tablet S
Pairs well with my iPod and iPad and Xperia Tablet S as NFC work so sweetly with my Xperia T !!
Lovely sounds too!!

I have been using SBH20 for more than 2 weeks now and it is a good and compact headset. Although I have to complain that the supplied earphone are not up to the mark. I am using the EarPhones bundled with Xperia Z and they give much better quality than MH755 (the one bundled with SBH20). I like the form factor of SBH20. I cannot comment on the battery life yet, as I was not able to test it with a full & complete charge. By next week I should be able to comment on the battery life.

Thank you for the update!
Which headphone model's came buddled with the Xperia Z?
I'd had think Sony would've upgraded the MH755 with flat cables to avoid tangling in 2013; considering how compact the SBH20 is.

The earphone bundled with XZ are "MH-EX300AP". Sony should have bundled a better earphone with SBH20. Sony are leaders in sound, this is the least they should have done to protect their image.
I think even the new SBH50 is bundled with MH755

Just adding the comments on the Battery Life and NFC Pairing
The battery life is decent. Not bad but could have been better in comparision to MW600 which has fantastic battery life, even with the display. I was able to use SHB20 for 3 days on a single charge with 4-5 Hrs of music and 36 Hrs of standby with some calls during that time. I think I used to get more on my MW600. But on the good side, the device gets charged within an hour.
The pairing using NFC works like a charm. The device gets paired with the phone in less than 5 secs, smooth, simple and easy. Loved the NFC functionality....
Overall I like the product, but I wish Sony had announced and released SBH50 earlier. And Sony please give good pair of earphones with flat cables.

The flat cables are very bad idea ... they are uncomfortable,hard and make the earphone fall out of my ears.
Got a set of these with the Smart Wireless Headset pro and I never use them.

^ The flat cables is not what is causing the buds to fall out of your ear.

It is !
Everytime I move the cable moves with me and they just fall out of my ear.
Have few headphones and this one and the Beats have that flat cable and both have the same problem ,only the beats have softer cable so the problem is less.
