has anyone used this with the w960 yet and if so is there any little snagging problems
also can you get spare parts for this ie the necksrtap and fascia
i had to buy a new ds970 due to the neckstrap breaking and no one could get just the strap on its own

the ds205 wouldn't be a problem if you have an MBW-100 or MBW-150  I do enjoy the OLED on the DS980 though - it's very sharp! |

"Almost wireless" bluetooth headsey... (lol)! Between the neck strap and the earplugs, you could strangle yourself with little effort (lol)!! |

I'm getting a bit disappointed with my DS980. I'm using it with a W960i. My comments:
The battery life seems quite poor (unless mine is faulty). I've not done a "scientific" test but I think it's only about three hours if you switch it on and off a lot.
It switches off when the battery shows about a third full. You get the annoying beeps (oh and are they ANNOYING!) and off it goes!
It bleeps (see above) quite a lot - I think this is when it switches frequency.
No folder traverse - a bit of a PITA.
It can be a real pain making phone calls - many a time I've tried to call after navigating through the phone book and nothing happens (could be a bug with the W960 I guess). You then have to navigate all the way back to the phone no again!
It's not very loud - this is really noticible in urban situations (traffic, on the bus etc.).
Overall - it's OK but I was expecting a bit better for my £57 - might send it back as faulty (based on the battery life).
Cheers,
Derek.

So I just got one of these from Amazon..but it looks like a possible refurb.
Anyone have a complete list of what it comes with?
In my box:
1 Unit w/ one set of earbuds already on it (very dusty with maybe some grease or ear wax *shudder*)
3 Manual's in different languages
1 Bluetooth general booklet
0 Carrying pouch ( says on first post?? )
Additionally, on my box it says packaged 08W06..but on the unit itself it says 07W42. Totally smells like a refurb ( sent back in and repackaged ).
Also, the bluetooth booklet says battery can only be charged above 10 C (50F). Anyone have any problems charging at say 30F? |

Upgrade FW on it, if you are having trouble with it. Simple as that. |

Got mine today (£41) 
It comes with 2 extra sets of silicone earbuds (different sizes)
Manuals
Mains charger (cst-61)
I have to say it look very cool, the mirror effect is pretty good, the oled display is very bright, but it does not stay on for long.
The cable length is adjustable.
It was very easy to setup my w960 immediately paired itself.
I also paired it with my pc and it can control WMP.
Sound quality is great, the earphones look like an upgrade to the hpm70, they have a metal mesh. Lots of base and treble plus its loud (enough for me).
I was able to walk 7 meters (could not go further as I ran out of space to walk lol) from the device and there was no sound distortion.
Phone call quality is very good.
So far I have used it for 3 hours and battery shows as 2/3 full.

My brother just returned home with a present for me! And guesss what I got? (see topic title)
MY GOD, I've always used the generic headphones that came with my phone, but when I tried these on I was simply amazed at how clear the sound was and at the fat bass  .
I'd recommend these headphones to anyone! They're great!

Well they're ok, the sound is good and they fit nicely BUT they last for only 5 hours, there are drop offs and the wires are too annoying... |

Anyone know whether I can use the headphones without the neckstrap? The receiver dangles a bit too low than where I'd like. |

well, i'm a bit interested in this headset. I only want to ask for 1 simple question, does the noise cancelling really work? How clear is the quality and how 'bout the bass? Is it often lag?
thanx a ton
