Hi,

bought the HBH-60 yesterday and well either my ears are wierd or its not on properly but after speaking for at least... 10 mins or so, it starts to get fairly uncomfortable...

just like its hanging on my ear kinda ( which is it d'uh ! )

so was wondering would the HBH-30 or HBH-35 be more comfortable for myself to use ??

worryingly i read that the HBH-60 is the most comfortable bluetooth headset out on the market ?

Thanks

My HBH-10 lasted 3 years before it came apart. I am now using HBH-30, it came apart just after 3 weeks. Don't be fool by the look of HBH-30, it actually cause pain to wear on ears. If i were you, i'll go for HBH-60.

been using the 60 for a few months now......very comfortable imho!!

wuz using the 30 before and it's also comfortable but tends to get a little heavy if u haf it hanging on yr ear after a period of time....the 60 actually sits nicely without u feeling it for a long time.....

i'm still for the 60....just my 2 cents!!

you try to apply slight pressure on the headset when wearing it.
if you still can move it. Meaning you didn't make the speaker boom
fit onto those contour in your ear.

I normally press a bit and also rotate the headset after wearing it to
ensure it is fit nicely to my ears. So far like Shithappen...I am happy with it.

HBH30 and 35 have one problem the speaker boom have this
protruded profile which is suppose to clamp your ear with the help
of the hook area(soft rubber) but you might find it slightly difficult
to wear.

Its comfortable for me though.. i guess other factors come into play such as face shape and size..

I have the same problem. The HBH-60 doesn't fit my ear. The speaker is about 2cms away from my actual ear hole, and its really uncomfortable! I have settled with the HBH-30, it fits us people with deformed ears really well albiet a little heavy compared to the HBH-60.

Hi,

thanks for the reply.

hmm so even though the hbh-30 is heavier, it might be more comfortable ?

is the hbh-30 and 35 the same shape, as i might pop into the shops and try the hbh-30 on and see if its comfortable.

is the 35 much better? or is it just better battery life ?

hbh30 and 35 is the same in term of size and outlook

slight different is the colour and the front which include the SE badge
with slight changes in the ID.

of course the main selling point is still on the improvement on electronics and stand by.

we don't all have the same ears, that would be to easy. hbh-35 is the best buy for the best headset around these days. the hbh-60 of my friend fits me but, my hbh-30 is much easyer to wear.
but i've only found the hbh-35 for sale on the internet

Hey, what about the Jabra BT200? Is it comfortable to wear as compared to the HBH-30/35/60?

IMHO i feel HBH30 is harder to wear and more uncomfortable.

Like mentioned in the earlier post, HBH30/35 stuff it's speaker into ur ear canal. Whereas HBH60 stay outside but ard the outer ear.

I see it as a good point if i'm gonna put BT headset on my ear for long hrs. I would still be able to hear things properly.

Also for HBH60, it's very easy and REALLY fast to put on after getting the trick. For Sony earphones users it should be no problem mounting it to our ears within 2 secs.

my 2 cents

Hi

I've used the HBH-60 before and am using the HBH-35 now. My observations are:

HBH-60 is very light on the ears even though it didn't fit properly on my ears. Voice recognition wasn't too good. It used to wobble and flap against my face when I put it on and the ear piece was a short distance above the ear canal.

HBH-35 fits a lot better but is slightly heavier. Voice recognition is much better than the 60 maybe because of the longer size.

I like HBH-35.
The best you can do is go to the store and try them all.

I have and used the HBH-60,20 and now the 35.It is by far the best headset I have ever used.The longer boom mike seems to balance the weight since the battery is towards the back pat of the unit. The HBH-60 was bit flimsy to wear.
