I've been looking into the HBH-608 for a while to use with my K750i. Does anyone here have experience with this headset? Any pros/ cons?

Any recommendations for other HBH's ?

TIA,

Dietbrand

I bought the HBH-608 to use with my K750i. So far no issue.

I have to put my Motorola bluetooth HS aside as it did not work on the K750i (work well with my S700i though).

i've been tryin to decide which bluetooth headset to use with my K750i, I think i've decided on the HBH-662 due to its size and display to show caller

I have the HBH-610 it always takes about 5 attempts before it recognises the voice commands I say to it, but this seems to be an issue with other Bluetooth headsets too.

@ct..

Be sure to record the voice tag throughout the h'set mic. I've the same issue with my K700 and solved by searching in the forum...

would get HBH-610... have seen the data transfer rate from bluetooth v2 to bluetooth v2 device... a very big improvement from v1.2

so i guess... v2 to v2 device is must be more stable

I'd like to order the HBH-610 tomorrow but I'm looking for more feedback since sony has released some technology such as my navitus remote - tons of great technical possiblities but then they just buried it with no updates whatsoever.

The things I'd like to know about if anyone has one is -

How is the volume in a noisey car? Can your callers hear you? Can you hear them?

How is the clarity? Do clients know you are on a headset? how do they sound?

Is there any echo?

Any issues with it dropping connection?

Does it answer immediately?

Is the loop and the earpiece comfortable?
Can you put eargels on the earpiece?

Have you tried it with any PDA/phones to test voice command?

@ksng - How much did you buy your HBH-608 mate Is it small in size and works perfectly with your K750i? I'm planning to get me one (to use when driving). Some feedback please, photos if there is. Many thanks! [addsig]

I've personally got a K750i (O2, R1L) with a HBH-608 and I'm very happy with it. Its a damn sight more usable with the K750 than the HBH-660 & HBH-662 headsets - they kept losing connection. The 608 is ...

  • smaller than the 660 & 662
  • seems to last longer - I charged it last Friday and without switching it off had made 90 minutes worth of calls and received 2.5 hours, and its still going...
  • is just as bad for voice tags as the more expensive 660 & 662...


Picture to follow...
