Disappointing review below claims that volume level is disappointing. Any otherr opinions on this with "more compatible" phones?

I also would like to know if it's possible to answer a call using the button on the mic instead of the button on the main unit (like I have to do now with my HBH-20)?

Sounds like he tested the headset using the P800. I thought that it doesn't work with the P800? He should've tried using different phones to test the headset... |

Just got my HBH-200 today!
Nice thing I must say!
I miss one thing though...
On a normal (wired HF) you have this thing where you can "park" the ear phone/mic. I wanted one on my HBH-200 as well. So, I "killed" a normal HF_unit and re-attached the thing on the cable. Works perfect.
DON'T CUT THE WIRE FROM THE NORMAL HF!!!
You just need to pull it a part. This is done quit easy. There are no springs or something inside.
Currently I don't have any pictures on it, but I reckon you understand what I mean.
One thing they missed is that you can't use the included strap and clip at the same time. So if you go for using the clip (at the backside to attach to your clothes) you can't use the strap and vice versa.

PS The size of the main unit is about a normal BIC-lighter.

Thanks!

Well here is another picture with the Z600 and the carrying pouch.
Also in my opinion the volume of the ear piece is bloody loud. I have it on the lowest setting and it is still loud.

Hi all, I'm very interested in HBH-200...
I know both of my phone (t68i and 3650) has "Bluetooth Handsfree Profile" Support, will it have full function with the HBH-200. Namely, will the call-id, caller-list work with them?
Thanks |

Hm...wired hands free...that is wireless? What? The concept is nice, but the only thing keeping me from wanting it is battery life. What's the battery life for typical use? 1 day? unacceptable for me. I returned my bt200 because I could only go 2 days before needing to charge it. The convenience of the hbh-200 comes at a cost of another inconvenience. BLEH! |

I don't get this thing at all.. it seems to me the purpose of bluetooth is the wireless part.. why on earth do you want a wire????? Where does one put the little box??? seems to me the same thing as a tiny phone attatched to a wire attatched to an earpiece... I don't get it..  |

Some of us wear glasses so some headset will fit not properly. I will be getting the HBH-200 the idea of seeing the callers number while my handset is not in hand is cool. Most of us can't remember who has what ringtone I can't can you.

Some people also don't like having noticable that they are using an expensive phone. This lets me have the convenience of a BT headset with the social acceptability of a normal headset - also the wire is much much shorter. So no more door handles, sliding in and out of shirt buttons, having to fumble with miles of cable.
For some people who don't want to LOOK like geekas this is one of the best headsets around.

Love this unit. Sound is totally adjustable to my (hard of hearing) limits. But the earpiece does not stay very well in my ear. Are there any adhesives that are conveniently usable to keep it there? |

Hi
very tempted by this heaset as I do a LOT of driving. Is it comfortable and does it stay in...or if I use it in the office and walk about will it fall out. I want to use it with z600...is volume good in a car?
Many thanks

well, i have used the hbh-20 and the hbh-15, and i have kept the hbh-20 and have used it for more than a year now. I have to admit that a BT headset stuck on your ear is really sometimes too geeky, though im a geek and i do not mind looking like a geek and i certainly don't mind being looked at like a character from star wars or star trek, but i do mind having a BT stuck on my ear... i know that the PERFECT BT HEADSET will be the one that has the form factor of the HBH-60 with the LCD screen of the HBH-200 and with loud polyphonic ringtones, that can be cliped on clothes and with a belt-case, and I know that this one will come from SE... maybe the HBH-600, maybe we can petition sony to start making one NOW or give them a prototype design,
but I'm buying the HBH-60 tomorrow by the way, coz can't wait anylonger
might even buy the HBH-200, if i can afford another BT
