MultiConnect is also present in DS970.
So, mainly no change.
Nice.
Pointless upgrade.
multiconnect IS present in the ds970 only difference i know of is the microphone..its like the one that comes standard with walkman phones like my w880..soo maybe better audio convo ?:/ beats me..
i got my k610 replaced with the w880i a week ago and i used the hbh with the k610 AND w880i its the BEST combo ever
also the hbh works with any mobile phone (that is ad2p enabled)
also never purchase these headphones from ebay ..i will give a link to where i got mine as its based in australia and decently priced:)
AND im from australia :b
lataz all happy hunting |

I'm really disappointed that they didn't increase the battery life, that's really my only complaint about the HBH-DS970's - 8 hour (workday) battery life is a must, really! |

The DS970 had some issues with the quality of the streamed music - specifcally, 'skipping' during music with high bitrates.
like how high?!

Sony Ericsson's HBH-DS980 Stereo Bluetooth Headset makes it past the FCC
We’ve got word that the successor to the Sony Ericsson HBH-DS970, the HBH-DS980, has just gotten the green-light from the FCC. The DS980 first popped onto our radar some time ago, so we’re excited to finally see this thing coming to The States.
As Dusan said, the Sony Ericsson HBH-DS980 is a “stylish, charcoal-colored accessory [that] weighs just 27 g, but promises to deliver wireless music and calls with superior sound performance, even in noisy environments. The HBH-DS980 supports Bluetooth 2.0 standard along with A2DP (stereo via Bluetooth). The new headset also comes with the digital noise cancellation/echo reduction technology to reduce background noise, battery life that should support up to 6 hours of continuous usage, and the multipoint function to enable pairing with more than a single device at the same time.”
We were expecting this thing to drop in Q3, so this FCC filing puts the newest SE headset on track for a timely launch.
Keep reading for the FCC’s semi-dissected pics.

the batt life is lower compared to DS970, but of course its understandable having all the other features...
6 hours of continuous music is fair enuff for me with all that stuff packed within a very stylish product... id go for that...

I bought my DS970 ones from a proper UK shop for use with my P990i but due to the fact that the P990i won't display aac tags (non DRM iTunes library tracks) & the DS970 has only max. 6 hours battery life I ended up buying the new 8GB iPod Nano with over 24 hour battery and still tend to use that. Must have only used the DS970's 10 times or so (bit of a waste of money for me really).
Does the DS970 have the digital noise cancelling feature like the DS980? Thought they were just normal in-the-ear type noise reduction effect? |

I got mine today, this this is beautiful!
Phonebook profile is awesome, and the DS980 has true multipoint with a selection menu, not the dual-profile thing of the DS970.
When the screen dims, it shows an animation of bubbles running up the screen, very cool-looking!

the battery life seems similar to what ive read about the ds970, approx 5-6hrs life... slightly dissapointed but is what i expected from it really, kills about half the battery life of my k800i too since its paired all day. |
