Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony DRBT160AS Bluetooth Stereo Headset (Black)
Customer Review: Great over-all bluetooth headset
Summary: 5 Stars
I should first mention that I have only had this headset for about a week, so my judgment of most features, especially battery life, is limited. That said, I found these headphones to be pleasantly surprising for their fit and comfort. Both of these issues were a concern before I bought because it seemed to be a common complaint from other reviews. It may come down to your own head and ears, but I find this set to be extremely stable and I feel that I could do tumbles with these on and they would remain in place. They go on and off quickly with very minimal fussing. They can also be worn around the neck when not in use and remain safely secure with no real fear of losing them.
Sound quality also is about as good as I could expect. They seal in the ears well to provide good bass range. The stiffness of the connecting wire around the neck provides just enough pressure to hold the earbuds in the ears without being uncomfortable. If you want headphones that will allow you to hear the outside world completely, these may not serve you well.
Two issues to be aware of:
1) I use these on an iPod Touch 2G. The fast forward/reverse function from the headset does not work, but it appears to be the fault of the iPod, not the headset. I had the Altek-Lansing headset prior to this, and sent them back because of this issue. At least the owners manual for the Sony set points out this possible problem. The manual is very thorough in general, as would be expected with Sony.
2) The headset was cutting out during active use, but again, this seems to be the fault of the iPod itself. I was doing yard work and carrying the iPod in my back pocket. This would only happen during this time. I tested this in several scenarios such as holding the iPod in my hand and shaking it, shaking my head with the headset on, bending over or turning the iPod in different directions and I could not reproduce this problem. Only when the iPod was in my pocket would this happen, so I believe it is something to do with pressure on the iPod and the static charges that control the touch screen. I have ordered a belt clip to hopefully alleviate this issue.
