Could have been 4 1/2 stars... January 17, 2008

Pros:
-Stereo sound is great when connected to compatible bluetooth-enabled devices.
-Can be used as either cell. phone headset or stereo headphone.
-Good battery life, could be better though...
Cons:
-DC connector is not the standard mini-USB, Sony intentionally uses some weird connector here, so you better not lose your wall charger, or else...$$$. I wish I had known about this... Be warned!
-High price compare to others.
So far i have been able to pair it with my Fujitsu P1610 (excellent sound), USB BT dongles from MSI StarKey 2.0 (great stereo sound) and Anycom USB-250 (so so sound). Clearly, sound quality is dictated by what you connected to, the Sony HBH-DS980 only streams what coming out from your devices. I would give it 4 1/2 stars if it had had a std. mini USB connector.
Personally, i would not by it again just because of that #@&*& connector.
 Wonderful Product SE HBH-DS980 November 8, 2007

Sony makes listening to music and taking calls a quality experience with the Stereo Bluetooth Headset HBH-DS980. The stylish accessory delivers wireless music and calls with superior sound performance, even in noisy environments. Connect it to 9 devices and it automatically pause your music to accept a call from your mobile with caller ID.
Digital noise cancellation/echo reduction to reduce background noise is a huge plus with this headset.
Bluetooth 2.0 to deliver better quality voice calls.
A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) for high quality sound when listening to music on your mobile phone, PC or any portable device.
A hidden OLED display delivers a seamless design effect, much brighter than a conventional LCD display.
I paired my set with my Vista Ultimate PC and started the MS Speech Recognition, trained the PC and its working like a charm. It even control all my audio and video software on my PC. (RealPlayer, Win Media Player, JetAudio are the audio players tested and for video Cyber Link power DVD and Power Cinema.) This Set is like a chain around my neck.
I give this produce 5 stars because of design, sound quality, battery life and it being a very user friendly product.
Almost perfect, except... June 17, 2008

For notebook usage, it is perfect, as frequent traveller point of view which may ease a lot on very limited space and movement on coach/flight, it would be much more comfortable with wireless.
My main intension of getting this device is daily use on my SE W880i & SE W890i. Everything meet my expectation except one tiny limitation I would like to high light. in fact it is not the problem from DS980, it is just a feature that wasn't Bluetooth headset are made for.
If you are a regular radio listener and your phone support radio, then I am sure you listen to the radio from your mobile phone very often. If you do, then you might need to reconsider this fact before you buying this device. Mobile phone uses the wired headset as the antena to receive radio signal. Which Bluetooth Headset are not designed to receive radio signal. In another word, when you want to listen to the radio on your mobile phone, you still need your regular wired headset.
I listen to radio often, therefore the bluetooth headset does not help. I still need the wired headset. because of this, I can't eliminate my wired headset totally. I don't think i want to carry two headsets, it would be just add more trouble compared with just one wired headset. For now, I just stay with my default wired headset.
Hopefully some newer phones can receive radio signal without the wired headset as antena (or some BT headset can receive radio signal, unlikely), then I will reconsider getting one of these BT headsets.
Works great with T-Mobile Dash, Music and Phone Calls January 22, 2008

I purchased the DS980 headset about three months ago to use with my T-Mobile Dash cell phone so that I could listen to MP3 files and easily answer incoming phone calls. These headphones will let you know you have a call and then pause the MP3 while you answer the call... All very easy to do. Battery life for is good and the controls are easy to use. Pendant design swings around when leaning over and sometimes gets in the way and cords are a little long.
 Good accesory, but.... January 30, 2008

...I will go straight to the point here, people. I use this piece with my Ericsson S500i
Pros:
1. Nice design. Very stylish and sleek.
2. Great sound!
3. The range is farther than what they say it does (at least for me).
4. Cool screen which displays Song playing and Who's calling.
5. Sony customer service is pretty descent. My piece died all of the sudden. It would not turn on or charge up. They are sending me a new piece.
Cons:
1. Battery does not last that long. It gives you about 3 hours of music playback. I do not talk that much on the phone so no comment on talk time.
2. At the beginning when people called me it seems that the connection was not that great since I ended switching to the handset (the phone itself)
3. The face is too flashy for my taste. I wish it had a more matted finish.
Hope this was helpful. Do your research, Peeps!
Peace out!
