Plantronics seem to do a very good job without a fancy DSP arrangement with their noise cancelling mics - good quality components more than make of for the lack of any DSP. Personally I'm of the opinion that a DSP in most these headsets is not really anything more than a gimmick.
I had a BT800 too and it reduced in car noise no better than any other headset and certainly worse than my old HBH-300 which has no noise cancelling features other than a long boom. |

wow then we must have different shipments of bt800
mine works perfectly in a noisy enviroment for other party. in a truck, around noisy machinery as long as noise remains constant and as it changes like gear shifting it takes split second before its canceled.
agree with you that quality of the components makes a lot of difference.
maybe will try plantronics just to try it out but please post your impression regarding batery life meaning without using AAA battery to refill also regarding range since those issues have been arisen with this headset |

While I only had the BT800 for a couple of weeks. Its noise cancelling didn't appear to be very effective at all, and the build quality was poor. Not what you'd expect in a headset of its price.
Not only that, but its heavy and pretty uncomfortable too.
I'm certainly not alone in not being impressed with the BT800.
Battery life is good with the Plantronics - never used the AAA battery thing, or needed to, but then I do always charge it every night anyway. In use (on) most of the day - probably couple of hours of calls, and never had below two thirds (two red flashes of LED on switch on) battery left. |

Mini Plantronics 640 review:
Packaging: 9/10
Build Quality: 8/10
Design: 9/10
Sound Quality - headset: 9/10
Sound Quality - caller: 9/10
Battery: N/A*
Range: 7/10
In summary, this is a good headset, well designed and with a "premium" feel to it.
Positive:
- Very stable Bluetooth connections, with two devices and with one.
- Very light and comfortable for me (I use the ear hook).
- Very Good Sound quality at both ends.
- Ear gels should ensure most folks get a good fit.
Negative:
- It would be nice if the headset fitted back in the metal case when the ear gel and hook are fitted!
- Charger connection takes a delicate touch, don't just ram the headset in!
* I can't comment on battery as I've not had it very long, but 5 hours talk and 70 hours standby should get most folks through a day...

The Sony Ericsson Eshop has been out of stock for the HBH-610 for a while.
I just noticed that the headsets are ready to order again. However, now I see that the SE K750i is no longer listed as a compatible phone.
Is this a mistake on the web site?
On edit: Never mind. I see that the new SE web site filters out phone models that are not officially selling in the user's area. I was visiting the SE site as a US user... and the K750i was not listed as a compatible phone, but it was when I visited the UK site.

Folks,
Update on the hbh-610 and K750 compatability issue... this will make you laugh.
1. I got my hands on a Moto Razr V3 and thought let's see how the hbh-610 works with that. Guess what.... no problems whatsoever. The sound was great, I even went up to 10 metres away in another room with 2 brickwalls inbetween and it still worked fine (phone was in one room and me and the headset in another). Try this with a K750! You will get nothing but crackle.
2. So guess, what I have now reverted back to using a hbh-608 which I bought off Ebay for £12.99! which i'm using with my k750...... which incidently works and sounds better than the hbh-610, IMHO.
Conclusion...... k750 BT implemenation is "pants"........
p.s. should I keep or sell my 610??????

finally got 640 and yes its a keeper!!!!
wish it came with a strap but solved it by using hbh610 one
originaly tried looping around the eargel connector(where the earhook goes) but realised that eargel could be damaged with that arrangement, so decided against it.
in the end i pulled it through a hole that comes through side of a headset. i must say it looks nice like that and it doesnt seem to hamper the sound in any way

I read very carefully all the posts on this thread regarding the hbh-610 and what everyone is experiencing with this headset. although I am a p910i owner i have 7 se headsets (including the hbh-610) but my hbh-610 headset together with my p910i works great, no problems at all it works better outdoors especially when it's noisy sound quality is exellent,battery lasts about 4 days and in general it lives up to my expectations.

Yes, the p910i is a much better bluetooth device than the k750i. there are big difference between the two phones.

Just don't take the hbh-610 because it's worthless.I've got it for some hours and I could'nt rush enough to the shop to change it,after some argue there with the salesmen I got the hbh-608i wich is a much better device. |
