Is anyone using the Sony HBH DS220 with their Tilt? & if so, what's your impression?

Thanks,
Dave.

I decided to buy one of these. I've had it almost a week and I really like it.

The thing I like most about it, is that you can use any headphones that have the miniplug on them.

The headphones it comes with are really good though. It's plenty loud and I can get about 8 hours of play out of it, but I don't think my battery is done being exercised. It's still new.

The sound quality is AMAZING. When I listened to my first song, the first thing I said was "Wow!".

I use it all the time at work to listen to music and not disturb others. After an 8 hour shift (using it most of the time), I still have an hour or so I can use when I get home.

Pairing it was easy and when I turn the headset on, it connects to my Kaiser within 2 seconds. The only thing that annoys me, is that after a phone call - for some reason the bluetooth will disconnect. I have to press the play/pause button to get it to connect again.

Other than that, I consider it one of the best things I've purchased this year. I would recommend it to anyone that wants an A2DP bluetooth stereo headset.

The only thing I wish it had, was the ability to change tracks/songs. Other than that, it's totally perfect. I can wander all over my house and it still gets good reception. There is absolutely no hiss or static. It either plays totally clear or it cuts out entirely. It immediately picks back up when you're back in range of the signal.

I second that. One of the best BT stereo headset.

1. exchangeable headphone
2. excellent sound.
3. can battery charge while listening (many other stupid BT headset will just cut you off)

The only bad thing is bad UI for volume adjustment, and no FF/RW button.

Hmm. All of the positive things you guys are saying about this are significant...but so are the negatives....

JAMM DS220 review

Hey folks,

just thought I'd add that we published a review over on JAMM: http://justanothermobilemonday.com/W...tooth-headset/

Might help for people who have questions about the headset or wonder what it looks like.

Cheers

The DS-220 is outdated now. The new DS-205 comes w/ an extra button for Volume control and FF/RW.

does the DS 220 or 205 use USB mini to charge?

i have the ds 220, the sound quality is excelent and its plug and play.
the only thing is that the volume of the headset is VERY low...

No, it use the same adapter as Sony's phone. The only improvement I want for DS205 is feature on it's 970/980 series like multiple devices handling and lcd screen for caller id. (Too bad those series don't use clip and does not have 3.5mm adapter)

Hi, I have some questions after reading the commentare from other users above.

On the SE site I can read that this headset uses AVRCP, what should say you could manage the tracks (FF/RW etc.) But you all say it is not possible, why is this? Is this another version?

I'm dubbing about buying a (new) stereo bluetooth headset after my Philips SHB7102/00 was broken. I like all the features it had and want something comparable now.

The cons of the HBH-DS9xx are for me that the headphones aren't replaceable.
But I also would like to have in-ear headphones (for in the train e.g.).

Besides this one, can you recommend other headset? I hardly couldn't find any.

Battery-life is also important for me btw. It has to last at least for 6 hours, but I prefer at least 8...

A lot of question, but I hope you can answer at least some of them
