the reason the HBH-20 exists is becuase some people want a wireless headset not a brick hanging from their ear. |

Why is damn wire so short?
You cant have it in your pocket can you?
And Decoy7, you cant really say that is wireless if its got a wire can you? And I can imagine several things to do when the wire will hook on to something!

duh!?! if the wire could reach your trouser pocket then you'd plug it into your phone.
have you ever used a headset?
the base is designed to clip on to your lapel or jacket...if you don't want to call it 'wireless' then call it 'bluetooth'.
i used the HBH-15 for about 1/2 a day, if your comfortable with it, fine...when you've got your suit on and this piece of plastic on your ear you look like an idiot.
if your a kid in college or school then it may look 'cool', but i'm not so i won't be wearing that one.

Duh! to your self 
If its got a wire i rather go for HBP-10 or some with wire. What I meant was that I dont thinks it´s worth buying it if you hav to have a thing hanging round you neck or put some part on your collar and so.
I mean all people dont wears shirt, right???
Yepp Im a kid, a kid that works for the company which produces the phone etc. you are speeking in 
Come on now you gotta admit that having that reciever thing hanging looks as "stupid" as HBH-10/15 , and surely HBH-30 even though its smaller!

it's a lifestyle option that's why there's more than one design, 1 for you and one for me.
i'm not knocking the 10 or 15, simply saying that in my lifestyle they don't fit in...i i soend nore time in shirts or suit jackets than t-shirts.
the 20 on the other hand does fit...this is what you'd call the executive model. |

Oki fine
But you think Im a kid?
Actually I hope that i never grows up "looks boring to be a "grown up" )
Kidding! Relax
But I certainly understand your point. Hopefully Ill get a new job where I can use shirts and maybe a tie, now when Im getting fired from ERA, and dont have wear that ESD protective coat anymore
PS: You gotta admit that the new HBH-30 is smaller and more discret DS

yeah, looks more slick the previous 2...but it'll be a wait...personnally i'm waiting for other manufacturers to come with their BT headsets...should be some good competition and options by Q4. |

I wouldn't know if a HBH-15 looks stupid; I would primarely use it in a car.
I used to have a Nokia 8210 with a (wired) headset. This works absolutely fine when receiving calls. The problem starts when placing calls; you have to 'find' your phone from your belt or pocket and it always gets entangled to your safety-belt Then if you have to refill the gas you end up with a spaghetti; not knowing where your headset and phone have gone
I will use my HBH-15 when I receive it next week.
Greetz,
Chris

I'd heavily support Sooty. I use a HBH-15 myself, mainly while driving, and I don't give a dime on how I look inside my car. I've used the wired earpiece HPB-10 before that, but this gadget *always* got mixed up with the safety belt. So HBH-15 ist *the* perfect solution for me: excellent standby time, speech quality and bearing comfort (it weighs 32g – not that much heavier than 26g).
It's quite possible that if I'd want to bear my headset outside the car during work (or walking around) that my preferences would incline more to HBH-20 – but this simply is not the case. |

Why go for SE on bluetooth? A lot of companies are ready to lauch all kinds of weird and wonderful bluetooth gadgets in the near future, be patient and save money as the competition gets stonger! |

1) Because you don't need a seperate charger nor a separate car charger;
2) Because the original poster had asked our opinions on a choice among devices *actually available*. |

@ Xeleven:
I don't know where you are based (may be you'd like to inform us: click onto "Edit Profile" in the upper right corner of the page and fill the "From" case), but I bought my HBH-15 five months ago, in October. |

How is the HBH-15 in Vienna?
Did you bought it in a store or on web?

Living in Oslo Norway ( have updated profile now, thanks for reminding me )It's hard to get a hold of just about anything SE here, like the T68, BT headsets etc. but the main issue is what they charge for their products. Hopefully, as we see more products coming out on the market the law of supply and demand will make prices drop |
