As above, I'm thinking of buying one of them to use with the earpiece from my newly-bought HPM-77 as I don't really the cables in the way. Will I be expecting equally good sound quality from my HPM-77?

Which of them would be a better choice, especially in terms connection stability? I've had some bad experiences with my previous bluetooth headsets, where my music gets cut every so often.

They're both about the same price here, so either one would be fine, as long as it does its job well.
Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.

I would definitely go for the DS205. I have one of those and use it together with the HPM-77 and a W902. Sound quality is extremely good. In fact, the music quality over BT is exactly the same as using the HPM wired to the system connector! (the original headsets that come with the DS205 are just standard ones and not so good)


As for the i.Tech: I've never used it but it looks a bit tacky and big. Reviews rate the sound quality as average at best.

Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated. In fact, my set-up will be the same as yours once I get the DS205. I'm currently using my T700 with W902 acoustics and a pair of HPM-77s.

You will not regret it You will also get about 5 hours playing time out of it. Don't think many headsets will reach this even if they say it on the spec sheet

Thanks for the feedback, I think you've helped me make up my mind. I'll go for the DS205 then. By the way, does it have full music controls? Volume control, play/pause, next/previous track and fast-forward/rewind? Thanks!

It has volume control, play/pause and next/previous track. Fast forward/rewind is phone dependent. For example, with my phone it will continuously skip to the next track when you keep pressing fast forward but I've seen it working on a Symbian phone where the music itself is actually fast forwarded.

I see, thanks for that! You've been a great help in answering all my questions! Really appreciate it. I guess I know which headset to get now. Thanks!
