Enjoy excellent clarity through digital sound. The HBH-610 introduces Digital Signal Processing (DSP) to the world of Bluetooth headsets, making sure that you are heard loud and clear. The headset’s microphone picks up the background noise and filters it out so that the only thing heard by the receiver is your voice. Walk into a noisy environment and the headset adjusts the volume in less than a second. You can hear the conversation clearly despite the background noise.

Make use of the time when you’re in your car or on your feet to make calls or attend to phone conferences. With a Bluetooth headset it’s always a breeze to make, take or reject calls, even when your hands are full. Thanks to Bluetooth wireless technology 2.0 the signal link is more secure and the phone conversation will be clearer. The Bluetooth technology also ensures that the headset is compatible with most Bluetooth enabled phones in the market. Bluetooth Headset HBH-610 is packed with technology but low in weight. An ergonomic ear hook combined with the low weight enable you to wear the headset all day long, staying truly handsfree.

The headset is compatible with a broad range of mobile devices, including Nokia models 3230, 3660, 6021, 6230, 6230i, 6255i, 6260, 6630, 6650, 6670, 6680, 6681, 6810, 820, 6822, 7280, 7600, 7710, 8800, 9300, 9500 and N90; Motorola models A1000, E398, E815, V3, 525, V535, V545, V550 and V600; Samsung models D500, E340E, E720, E730, Z300 and Z500; Siemens Blackberry models M75, SP65, 7250, 7520 and 7100V; IPAQ models H6315 and H6340; the Palm TREO65and the Panasonic X700. In addition, the headset functions with Sony Ericsson devices W600, 2520a, W800, S710a, S700i, K700i, P910a, Z600, P900, T630, T616, T610, P800, T68i and the T68.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bluetooth: The next generation, November 18, 2005

The HBH 610 marks a definate advancement in bluetooth headsets.

Sony refers to DSP (digital signal processing) which they say improves clarity for both you and your caller. Their claim here is it filters out background noise so that only your voice is heard by the caller. Whatever the technology, it's a definate improvement.

I've been using bluetooth headsets for over three years now, and this is my third model. The HBH-610 has eliminated many of my major complaints. It offers the clearest sound, greatest range, and quickest connectivity. There's no annoying 'bluetooth echo' and it comes closest to achieving the 'bluetooth ideal': Having your caller be unaware that you're using a headset.

Sony also claims 'instant volume adjustment': When you enter a noiser area, the unit will automatically adjust volume for optimal hearing. I've found this to be very effective and a great feature.

Comfort is fairly good. Nice compact size and light weight. However, there are few adjustments that can be made to the fit, so you may not achieve what feels like the 'perfect fit' for your ear. Nonetheless, it's comfortable to the point where you may forget you have it on.

While I'm someone who will always watch for advancements in the area of bluetooth technology, the HBH-610 should keep me satisfied for the foreseeable future.

This review is from: Sony Ericsson HBH-610a Bluetooth Headset (Wireless Phone Accessory)

I happend to own several different Bluetooth units (Motorola, Jabra250, Logitech freedom and Cardo Scala500) I have purhcased this bluetooth device somewhere else (cheaper) and all i can say is that this is the best I have ever tested. 61/2 hours of talk time, 300 hours of standby, clarity of calls is great, never dropped connections ( lot of them actually do it while talking, which very annoying),no static. So Far motorolas units are worst, Logitech is good but bulky/heavy and don't fit too good. Scala500 ( I have 2 of them in different colors)are also good I would rate them after Sony Ericsson. I would definitelly recommend this unit to everybody. Looks great too.
It was definitelly worth of buing it and I'll keep using it for a long time. I use it with Samsung D600 and Samsung D500 phones.

4.0 out of 5 stars DSP bluetooth headset, October 1, 2005

Sony Ericsson came out with a winner in this new 'DSP' (Digital Signal Processing) headset. It is light, easy to use, and has very clear reception and transmission. Although people on the other side of the phone will have told you that you sound a bit distant, but still remain clear. This is probably due to the shortness of the microphone pickup. You can easily rotate the earpiece hook to switch from left to right and vice versa. The only negative side is a slight discomfort from the earpiece when you use it for a wee length of time. This is perhaps because the earhook does not allow the earpiece to move to fit the ear at an angle, and therefore add pressure to the ear. I would still rate it highly. And it is relatively easy to setup.
