Sony SBH20 NFC Bluetooth 3.0 Stereo Headset | Black

As a super finicky person I am surprisingly pleased with this item. It wouldn't pair while charging but, unlike a previous reviewer posted, you CAN plug it into a charger and use it once it is already paired. Another feature I didn't see in the description but was pleased to discover is that you can double click the play button to ignore a call. I like that the clip swivels so you can have the cord/buttons oriented to your liking. A tiny led flashes green when battery is over 90%, yellow between 10%-90%, red below 10%, blue if its visible to other bluetooth users because two devices can be connected to it... Just so people can mess with you?, and purple if there is an incoming call... Just in case you can't hear the ringing? Or Sony just wanted to show off more colors for any reason and that is totally something I can get behind no matter how useless the feature! The bass is just fine, true it's no subwoofer but its definitely better than your average car radio. The range is great at 10-15ft and still worked at 30ft but only if I stayed reaaallly still... A little spotty but good if u walk out of range for a quick minute and don't want to deal with reconnecting the device. Well worth the $30 if you're on a budget but can afford a small luxury such as this. UPDATE: After using this for about 25 hours per week for the past 9 months it started randomly pausing itself and will occasionally, sometimes often, beep at me as if I were going out of range even though I'm only a couple foot away from the device that it is connected to. Still worth it in my opinion.

I've owned 4 different BT receivers like this, but this one beats in almost all categories. PROS: - small - long battery life (get 7 hours of continues music streaming) - great sound (but only when using different headphones) - NFC Just touch back of you NFC enabled phone and you are all set. No fiddling with settings required. - connects to two devices at the same time - works while charging (very important if you on road a lot) - very secure clip that rotates 360 degree (what!) no more broken wire because it has to bend 180 degree by gravity - dedicated on/off switch - standard micro usb charging port There are few things, though, that could be improved, but by no means should stop you from getting it: CONS: - doesn't support inline mic from headset. This means you can't clip it to your pants and use for for phone calls. - the forward/rewind/play/pause buttons are barely distinguished, the icons are tiny. I wish at least the middle button would be recessed (dipped in) - volume has only 6 steps. This means the jump between steps is almost twice bigger then any other adapters I know of. Using skullcandy headphones on minimum volume I can barely understand a person next to me talking, how loud that is. (to be fair it depends on music I'm listening and volume on the device it's being streamed from) - pointless and quiet annoying charging port cover (it would be justifiable if the device was waterproof, but it's not) - although the metal clip is very strong and device feels very secured when clipped, it would be nice have something like clothespin type clip, where you can press on one end to open it. But I take this anytime over the disaster nonsense clip on Sony Ericsson WM600 - when streaming audio from computer (using USB dongle) I've noticed that sound stutters when I touch SBH20 at certain places, especially when metal clip touches skin. No such issue when streaming from phone though. - no way of knowing the battery level when charging. - not possible to switch between paired devices withing SBH20 controls if already connected to one device and receiving audio. - switching between single to multipoint mode is not automatic and requires manual restart of the device. Bottom line: The device is worth every penny

This is my first experience with this style of blue tooth. Usually I buy the type that just goes into one ear. After having used this model a few times I have found that I really like it. The ear buds and wires make it a little more cumbersome to carry around and to quickly place in your ears but once they are in place I really like how well I can hear the person on the other end. Everyone I have talked to so far has stated that I come through to them loud and clear even when there is other background noise around. In fact most say that they can hardly hear anything but me speaking which is a testament to the noise cancellation technology that this blue tooth unit has. I agree with other reviews that have been written stating that the ear buds are not of super high quality. I did not find this to be a big problem because they do sound okay. The nice thing is that you can use other brands of headphones that you find are of a higher quality. I have used Panasonic RPHJE120G in-ear headphones and they sound great! I just wish the blue tooth unit would have come with some type of protective case so that when not in use I could place them in my pockets without risking damage to the ear buds. One other thing I didn't like was the fact that when I speak I don't hear myself through the headphones so it sounds like I'm speaking through a pillow. Usually with other units you can hear yourself just like you hear the other person your speaking with. That said, the advantage to this design is that I don't get that echo feedback like I get from other units because the blue tooth itself does not hear what I hear through the ear buds. With other units the microphone will pick up what you're saying and echo it back to you. To be clear on this matter, what I am telling you is, if the person to whom you are speaking has a lesser quality blue tooth in their ear with a loud speaker on it, due to the close proximity of the speaker and the microphone into which they speak you will hear yourself echo as what you say gets fed back to you via their blue tooth. With this unit you don't get that; therefore, less complaints from those with whom you speak on the other end. I hope that made sense. Another comment about what I like about this unit. With the receiver being so small and light weight, I no longer feel like I will be breaking the wires of my headphones. As I like to run I used to connect my headphone into my phone and then put my phone in my pocket. The problem with this is as the phone bounces around in my pocket it would pull on and break the wires in my headphones rendering them worthless due to shorts. This unit allows me to keep my phone in my pocket while it communicates wirelessly to the blue tooth receiver which does not bounce around and break the wires to my headphones. I like this feature because I don't believe I will have to purchase as many replacement headphones as I have in the past. Awesome! The question is, would I recommend this blue tooth to others? The answer is, yes I would. Aside from its shortcomings, I really like how it performs!

Yo compre este auricular, pero lo que planeaba hacer era sustituir los audífonos que traía por unos de "on-ear" (los de "diadema", los que uso regularmente), porque no soy adepto de la calidad que pueden ofrecer este tipo de audífonos ("ear-buds" les dicen, creo...) la verdad es que ya llevaba como una seman usando con los otros y estaba a punto de tirar los ear-buds, y fue cuando me sorprendieron y me devolvieron la fe en los audífonos "ear-buds" Me ha gustado mucho, la autonomía es bastante aceptable (6-8 hrs aproximadamente) y la calidad del sonido es impresionante, se escucha bastante bien con los ear-buds que trae, pero si utilizas audífonos que permiten mejor calidad de sonido, esta también mejora, la gama de sonidos que es capaz de reproducir es magnifica, no se dejen engañar por el rango que pone el fabricante, se escucha realmente bien (rango de respuesta 20 - 20000 Hz), los graves se escuchan como deberían y los agudos son sin distorsión, ofrece calidad estero sin problemas. Definitivamente una excelente compra, lo recomiendo ampliamente

Esté dispositivo es el segundo que compro porque el otro lo perdí. Al principio estaba motivado por adquirir uno de gama más alta sin embargo por mis necesidades descubrí que no requería tanto aparato. Es muy sencillo de usar, la batería dura 4-6 hrs. Mas o menos me dura la pila cinco días. Lo uso principalmente para escuchar música y muy poco para hablar por teléfono. Otra gran ventaja es que gracias a su entrada de 3.5 mm cualquier audífonos le quedan aunque los que trae incluidos tienen muy buena calidad. Si dispones de un estereo, bocina, etc. Le conectas el cable auxiliar al dispositivo y ya lo conviertes en Bluetooth, muy conveniente cuándo andas de fiesta. En conclusión, si buscas un Bluetooth headset muy económico, sencillo de usar y respaldado por Sony, esté es tú mejor opción.

Llevo cinco meses usándolo y sólo he encontrado un par de detalles que hacen que no le dé las cinco estrellas. 1 Duración de la batería. El volumen es directamente proporcional a la duración de la batería. Si bien prometen 5 horas de uso continuo, esa duración se ve disminuida cuando subo el volumen al nivel 5 (tiene 7 niveles) Aunque para no dañar mis oídos, trato de no usarlo con volumen alto. No he tenido oportunidad de probarlo como manos libres, es decir, traerlo encendido todo el día a la espera de contestar una llamada, pero creo que no consume mucha batería en modo de espera, todo el tiempo acostumbro apagarlo del botón de encendido que trae a un lado, y cuando lo vuelvo a encender, se conecta solo. 2 Teclas algo duras. Las teclas deberían tener muescas para identificar qué botón estamos presionando. Es molesto estar a tientas a ver qué botón es el que cambia a la pista siguiente y aún peor, que esté algo duro. Del tiempo que llevo usándolo no se han aflojado, pero ya me acostumbré a presionarlas fuerte para que hagan su función. Y pues un plus del que tampoco estoy muy satisfecho y lo primero que noté al recibirlo, es que no venía sellado con holograma, traía una especie de calcomanía transparente que sellaba la caja, pero me quedó la duda si efectivamente era un artículo original, pude comprobar que sí sólo por el cargador que trae, porque el de mi teléfono es idéntico. De ahí en más es excelente, calidad de audio como si fuera de cables, a lo que nos tiene acostumbrados la marca y se carga rápido también, algo muy útil cuando olvidas hacerlo y llevas prisa. Tuve que hacerle un nudo al cable de los audífonos de tal manera que no estorben mucho, porque está un poco largo, todo depende de dónde se ancle el clip.

Ame estos audífonos, sony siempre es sinónimo de calidad, tienen una excelente definición y un buen alcance de bluetooth. Puedo poner a cargar mi celular y escuchar música al mismo tiempo, además la batería dura en promedio 4 horas de uso continuo. Y además viene en bonitos colores, yo me compré el negro y uno rosado y naranja para regalar a mis primas.

Es muy facil de usar y sincronizar, pero mi unica queja es sobre los botones de cambio; son muy duros y dificiles de presionar, así como la ubicación de los botones de volumen no son los mejores. En general es muy funcional y cumple su trabajo.
