5.0 out of 5 stars Finally found the answer...., April 23, 2007

By	Christian Kostner (London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Although I am big time into gadgets (useful gadgets I might add) I have long be very resitant to the idea of a bluetooth headset. Having to charge yet another device. Having to look like a demented Spock with a plastic boom stuck in your ear. Early sound quality problems. It just wasn't for me. Until I had another look recently, that is. I stumbled across the SE HBH-GV435 and have been a happy camper ever since.

It's an over the ear design which distributes the weight nicely and makes the largest part of the device almost invisible (especially if you have slightly longer hair). If I keep it on, most people don't even notice it. In addition, it is so comfortable that I sometimes forget to take it off for long periods of time. The actual earpiece just sits in your ear canal, so it doesn't hinder external sounds. You still hear the world in stereo, unlike those silly things that are jammed into your ear.

Even though it is perfectly comfortable to wear over longer periods of time, it has another simple but brilliantly effective feature. A necklace. I just have it hanging around my neck from it and always have immediate access to it. What do you do with the other BT headsets that don't have this feature? It just becomes a hassle again. You'd feel compelled to leave it in your ear for longer than is comfotable and keep looking like the aforementioned demented Spock.

Sound quality is very good at both ends and battery life was astonishing. It just lasted and lasted and lasted and wouldn't go off. The only criticism is maybe that the battery life indicator is not sooo acurate. But hey, that's the minutest of niggles. It pairs well and the call start/stop button is fine. The volume buttons are a bit fiddly while on the ear but I don't find I need to use them much. The on off button is hard to press while wearing it, but that might also be an advatage.

Overall I love it and if lost would always buy another one. It enhances my Treo 680 to no end has become a trusted member of my gadget family. I could not recommend it more.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good for what it's really meant for, June 5, 2008

By	fdesa12 - See all my reviews

it really feels comfortable to wear as many of the reviews say. One thing about this headset is that it is meant for talking more than anything else, so if you get this expect only that.

If you plan to get this to listen to music on the side, don't expect great sound from it, it's kind of muffled.

Pros: Very comfortable, easy to answer calls, sound is decently nice when person speaks from other end of the line.

Cons: Dunno about some of you, but for me, I have to have the phone close by within 2 feet and on the same side of the body as the headset to limit static sound that comes up when the other person speaks. I can't even keep the phone in my pocket without getting any static. Also, Microphone sometimes has a hard time picking up my voice or something cuz person on the other end can't hear everything I say.

I have a rizr z3 just so you know.

Another thing I like about this is it came with the described neck lanyard to hang the headset on when I don't want to wear it anymore, but don't want to put it in my pocket.

4.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Headset!, June 18, 2007

By	Rolando Martinez "Scifi fan" (Guatemala) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am very satisfied with this headset.

Pros:
Good quality sound, very lightweight, cool and confortable design, long lasting battery (7 day top on standby, 3 days using it regularly). Too many WOWs!! (LOL)

Cons:
Mic too sensitive that capture too much noise from the surroundings in open areas (this is the only one I have noticed so far, and I have used it for 7 months now)...oh and the price a little high, but I think it worth it.

In general, I do recommend this product!
