Sony DRBT50 Stereo Bluetooth Headset

These headphones do provide vastly superior sound quality to any of the other bluetooth headphones I've tried. This is understandable as there is almost a $100 difference between these and any other headset I've tried..
But that difference in price was more than worth it as I no longer feel as though I'm compromising sound quality and comfort.
Pros:
- I use them 7+ hours a day with little to no ear fatigue.
- Very clean sound with responsive bass. I listen mostly to electronic music with lots of bass and these do not leave me wanting. The difference between these and other headsets I've tried (some even wired) is huge.
- The battery easily lasts an entire work day without need for recharge. (the manual says the batteries will last ~17 hours of continual use and I don't doubt it)
- Replaceable battery! I haven't seen this in many bluetooth headsets. Although it is not designed such that the battery can be easily replaced, there are instructions in...Read more

I recently purchased a blue-tooth compatible pda phone. I know I had to immerse myself in the unit in order to fully use it. I ordered two headsets to use with my new phone, a Jawbone, and the Sony DRBT50's.

While the jawbone is probably one of the best of noise cancelling headsets out there, there's still occasional static and drop outs. I didn't really believe that A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) could really pass two channels of music to a pair of headsets without dropout and static.

I charged the units till the lights indicated full charge (about 2 hours) just like you have to do with any electronic before you play with it. The pairing was easy, exactly like every other blue-tooth pairing you've ever done. Next I put the headphone's on my head.

Let me tell you that while these units are comparatively large, they fold nicely and yet have some of the nicest and softest feeling padding around the cans I've ever felt. More...Read more

I got these headphones today and was surprised at how light they were.

Charged them fully in under 2 hours.

Held down the power button for 2 blinking lights, paired them with my Katana II (Sanyo 6650) and my XPS M1330.

Dialed my mom and she said she felt like she was on speaker, but no serious issues.

I didn't like the fact that the headphones were muting my own voice because they go around the ear...so I couldn't be too sure if she heard me well because I could barely hear my self.

The initial feeling of headphones on my ears were painful...but I just extended the reach...and that put less stress on my ears, ended up comfy enough.

Then I powered up my laptop and started watching a video clip.

The sound quality, I have to admit, is very good.

The problem is, the latency is a huge issue. Words do not match the lip movement. I have tried several clips and it's there...everywhere...Read more
