New Sony Ericsson stereo Bluetooth headset

[ahmedfarou]

Sony Ericsson has launched a new stereo Bluetooth headset to accompany the S500, T250i, T650i and P1 phones it announced yesterday.

The Sony Ericsson HBH-DS980 promises six hours talk or music playback time, and 300 hours on standby. It includes Bluetooth 2.0 for better call quality and digital noise cancellation/echo reduction to cut out background noise.

The HBH-DS980 also features the Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) for high quality music playback. Plus it has an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display that only lights up when you touch the headset's controls.

"As more and more people choose to store their digital music on their mobile phone, it becomes increasingly practical to use a Bluetooth stereo headset that can deliver quality audio," says Jacob Sten, Head of Accessories Business Unit at Sony Ericsson.

Advertisement "This latest headset manages to do this within a compact, stylish design that you will want to be seen wearing. It is so convenient that your phone need never leave your pocket." :cool:

I would love to get my grubby hands on these! I could use it with my phone AND use it for voice-chat on my PS3!

HBH-DS980 is nice, but I think HBH-DS970 is better, even though it's "older".
HBH-DS980 has no display, so you can't see nothing, no caller ID, no track info, no battery status...

Yes, You're right,
I own one myself now :) and it's great!
Battery status, track ID info, even access to call history and phone book :)
And it's multypoint, meaning, can be paired with several phones in the same time!
Highly recommended gadget to have :)
