Product Description

The Sony Ericsson Stereo Bluetooth Headset HBH-DS970 lets you listen to your music files with superior sound, turning your mobile phone into a true music player.

When the phone rings, a quick glance at the display hanging from your neck reveals the name or number of your caller, allowing you to decide to accept or reject the call.

Supporting the multipoint function, the HBH-DS970 offers access to the vast selection of music files in your computer, PDA or other Bluetooth devices.

While you remain connected to your mobile phone, easy-to-use buttons and keys and the intuitive display let you enjoy computer-based music without the risk of missing incoming calls.

Note: Stereo Bluetooth capability only works with phones that support Bluetooth A2DP.

TC Review: Sony Ericsson HBH-DS970 Bluetooth Stereo Headphones

Reviewed by Douglas Morse

The HBH-DS970 is a pendent style while the guts of the unit is an oblong shaped unit that hangs from a lanyard around your neck. I found each section of this headset beautifully done. The earpieces themselves are soft rubber that gently fills the ear. They are much more comfortable than earbuds that tend to jostle around. The earpieces are snug, blocking out unnecessary noise and focusing the sound you want directly into the ear.

The earpiece wire runs directly into the lanyard and is woven into the fabric. In fact build quality is all around excellent. At one junction of earpiece wire and lanyard is the call control button � a plain plastic disk labeled with a phone icon that simply clicks when you press it. The mirror image wire lanyard junction houses the microphone in a dub of plastic. When in your ear, the mic hangs just to the right and up from your mouth � where a typical earpiece microphone is placed. The lanyard has a permanent connection to the unit itself.

I love the controls on the HBH-DS970. At the top of the pendent is a dedicated power button. On the right hand side is the track control button. This slides forward and back. On the left hand side is a rocker style switch for volume control. Both of these controls are logical for their specific function. Next to the volume rocker is a unique switch that I haven�t seen anywhere else. Without powering off the device or changing settings in a Bluetooth control panel, you can control the multipoint features of the device. You can stream music from one source, say your computer, while take calls on your HBH-DS970.

All of the various buttons and placement of them is far from confusing. The specific functions simplify operation. This may be the first device I�ve seen with separate Play, Power, and Call control buttons. What is nice about the pendent design is that you can simply hold it up to look at the LED and controls. The unit makes no pretentions that it can be used as a clip on or used as anything else than a lanyard pendant solution. You can adjust the length of the pendent through an easy to use slider on each side of the lanyard. The only issue with the lanyard design is that the unit can tend to swing about a bit. This is not a headset to be used for vigorous activity. For those, head over to the Motorola S9s. I should note that the headset weighs in at a mere 27 grams, but since most of the weight is in the pendent supported by the lanyard, the earbuds put practically no pressure on your ears.
