Can anyone tell me from experience what the sound quality is like on the SE HBH-200, and the Nokia HS-3W?
I am considering buying one of them and am concerned about crackling sound on some bluetooth headsets.
...
And does anyone know whether these are both compatible with the Nokia 8910i?

thanks,

TNM

Sound quality on the HBH-200 is excellent. The earplug provides great sound, loud enough for quite noisy environment too.

I am using the HBH-200 with my P900, and miss the call list function that is provided by other phones as T610. I tried the HBH-200 together with my old Nokia 6310i as well, and to my surprise it worked perfect, even gave me call list in the display of the headset! So HBH-200 works better with Nokia 6310i than with SE P900. Haven't tried voice dialling.

I guess the HBH-200 works with Nokia 8910i the same way as with 6310i.

Voice dialling works great on my HBH-200 together with my T610.

i was actually about to choose between these two headsets. i prefer the ones which don't stay on your ear.

is it worth the double price to get the HBH-200 over the HS-3W just for the screen? i mean other than that they both work very similarly.

btw, to any HBH-200 users, where does the ear piece go when its not in your ear, and does hte main unit have a clip?

I always let the ear piece hang from the top of my shirt. There isn't a clip on the cord like the wired headsets have.

The main unit has a clip which is the lenght of the whole unit.

I just bought the Hbh-200 on Monday after having used the HBH-65 for about a month and then stopped using it. First off, why have I stopped using the HBH-65?

I wear glasses, kind of nerdy, thick rimmed glasses like those on "Revenge Of The Nerds" hehe. The earpiece just didn't match up at all with these kinds of glasses. It was diffucult to get the earpiece-arm arround my ear. It made my glasses not sit well on my head. All in all it was very uncomfortable. BUT I was very VERY impressed with the sound quality.

So on Monday I got the HBH-200's and I must say first off, that the bling bling affect is much better/greater on these (not that it matters off course hehe).

I have no problems with my glasses and all in all it's much easier using this one if you don't want to wear the HBH-65 all day (which I think looks kinda stupid..).

It has better battery life

The diplay is a godsend because it has a battery indicator and you can se who's callig ie. "Daddy Mob" is my father.

You can wear the HBH-200 arround your neck in a "string" when wearing off-work clothes and it looks kinda cool. When at work, you just clip it into the shirt pocket. (There should have been an earpiece clip in like on the standard handsfree from SE because the earpice has a tendancy to "dangle" arround, it fits by the way in the standard one so why they havent includet it is beyond me.

Another thing, that don't really mean ANYTHING important, is the bag that comes with the HBH-200. It's AMAZING. It's just about the size of a t610/t630 and it velvety kindof. I just weat my HBH-200 all day and keep my T630 on the pouch... neat and simple.

THE ONLY THING I DON'T LIKE ABOUT IT is that the sound quality is NOT AS GOOD as on the HBH-65. It's still VERY GOOD and AMAZING for a bluetooth device, but NOT AS good in my oppinion.

I'll give it a 9/10!!!!
