[Q] Sony smart wireless headset pro - anyone tryed yet?

---

Hello guys, have anyone yet try it with HOX? I am looking forward to getting it but I am just not sure about music quality, because that is a main function for me, so I would like to know if anyone tested it with HOX already, and how is music from default sony earplugs that are included there, comparing to let's say iBeats by Dr.Dre (the ones that was included with HTC Sensation XE)

Personally I simply love it, no issues so far and already tried with various custom rom's (currently at maXimus 2.1)
Also recently it got a firmware update (notification came from the phone) but I haven seen the change log yet.

The quality of the bundled ear-buds is more than enough to my likening, also have Klipsch s4 and M40 but often find myself just using those from sony, go figure

What about the a-jays one+?
It doesn't have as much features as the sony, but I think its comparable to the iBeats that come with the sensation

Sorry my mistake.

There's the Plantronics BackBeat GO. If your looking for wireless.

I have had the Xperia MH1C Smart Wireless headset pro for about a week now, so I will do a mini review.

Pros
Wireless- Works pretty well, bluetooth can skip every once in a while, but it is so rare it doesn't bother me at all. It connects really easily and auto pairs great.
Micro SD slot- I love this feature as I bike alot and would rather take a small device then lug around my phone.
Package Contents- You get a charger, microsd reader, headphones, micro usb cord, 2gb card, and the device itself for 100 bucks. Considering a decent microsd reader costs 15-20 dollars it is a pretty good deal.
Headphones- I have always liked Sony's headphones and have used them for years. These are no exception, the bass is clear and the treble is not too loud. You can't even begin to compare cheap headphones like the Skull Candys to these. I don't believe in spending a ton on earbud headphones and these fell right in the price range for what I want. They fit great even with my smaller ear canals. People have complained about the cord being stiff, but I think it's a great step forward. My problem has always been tearing the cord or getting it really tangled. This cord will be hard as hell to tear as it is really tough. Also it feels really good. My trick for wearing them is to use the supplied clip on the longer right earbud cord and attach the clip to the rear collar of my shirt. This makes it impossible to pull the right earbud out when turning your head. I have played golf and ridden my bike with them and had no issues whatsoever.
Looks- Some people might think it is ugly but I think it looks great. Similar to the Xperia S.
Battery Life- The device easily lasts a week for me
Software works good- no problem with the additional features

Cons
SD Card playback sucks. Sometimes it will recognize the whole album and sometimes it won't. It is also kind of slow when going through songs, but not too bad. Also sometimes it won't return to the previous track when using the button, the left button does play/pause instead.
Gmail App for it will destroy your battery, it really eats battery life.
Size- The device could be a bit smaller, but for the sound quality and features it is acceptable
Needs a carrying case, Sony should have included one for the price
The clip is sturdy but it would be nice if it rotated as well.
Should have come with a lanyard but I was able to find an old one I had laying around and use that with it. It is an iRiver lanyard and works really good.

I would like to compare my experiences with the Sony Smart Wireless Headset Pro with mrsatan's review. As a quick summary though I'd say - DON'T BUY THIS OVERPRICED PIECE OF JUNK!

I fully agree that the SWHP device completely sucks as an MP3 player. It doesn't copy files across properly to the SD card just connecting via USB - you need to use Sony's useless Media Go application to do it and that is a terrible experience in itself.

Despite saying it supports up to a 32GB SD card, I have only half filled a 16GB an already the MP3 playback is completely lost. It takes a VERY long time to "scan" the files before you can start playback and then it doesn't even recognise songs within albums, playing the first song of the album and then stopping after that with no ability to skip to or even browse the other tracks. It does exactly the same when trying to play all the tracks of one artist - only plays the first then stops dead.

If you press the forward skip button it just pauses the track. When cycling back through the entire list of songs (which it can't do properly, rebooting itself once you try to go back past the first song in the list (which isn't alphabetical BTW)), you need to press the back skip button twice to go back.

I used to have the Sony MW600 (previous model that was only a BT headset/FM radio without MP3 support) and I would have to say even that was better as a BT headset because at least the call and voice command functions worked with that. Most of the time the SWHP doesn't even answer an incoming call when you press the button as it says you're supposed to.

I was waiting a long time for this device to get released and now I can see why it was delayed so long but still wonder why it was released at all when even the most basic functions do not work at all. I strongly suggest that you choose a different device if you were considering buying this P.O.S..
