 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.
 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.
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!
Pretty good start April 14, 2008

[Addition: I paired this up with my Mac. Good news and bad new.
Sadly, the sound quality was poor when i listened to my music (and no you cannot control (fast forward/rewind/stop the song you're listening to via this headset).
Good news is that the mic on this headset worked just fine with Skype.
Note when using this with your Mac: Go to System Preferences, then Sound, and finally the output tab. Select this headset as the output device otherwise, you won't hear anything.
Finally, the instructions for this device are written concisely, and clearly.
Finally, finally, thanks to those feel this is a helpful review.]
Seeing as how these devices are relatively new, I think it's a pretty successful end product.
The sounds is very good (still better than a lot of wired headphones you could buy for $50). Though i've noticed where it doesn't match the quality of my Sony MDR-CD580 headphones (the best i've ever listened through), I'm quite happy with the sound.
Usability is not an issue. It's easy to use. You can look at your address book, and navigate to the number you want. You can do the same for your "calls" list. You can change the volume, move to the next, or previous tracks, and check the time. I'd've liked to go to my list of songs that way i could pack my phone in my bag or something.
i like the way the earpieces don't snag because the plastic (or whatever) wire doesn't wrap around your neck. It's pretty cool how they make the length of the wires per piece adjustable.
I would've prefered the option to use my own headphones (which is available on other headsets from Sony-Ericsson). The get tired of having those things in my ears.
Wear and tear. I've had this at least 2 months and one of the wires is splitting open, and I've got tape holding together the casing for the mic/answering button.
Other than that, it's a good product. you'll be happy with it.
