Sony SBH20 NFC Bluetooth 3.0 Stereo Headset | Black

My second purchase of this model. Last ones lasted a little over a year, but honestly, that is good enough for me given the daily abuse they get.Headset is made to be attached up around the collar sleeve, or shirt pocket, which explains the design of the earbud cord. The right earbud cord is shorter than the left so it is meant to go around the neck line to reach both ears. Sound quality is superb with the included earbud BTW, though they are a little on the frail side. As long as they don't get beat around too hard, they should last quite a while. Good advantage to this style is that the headphones can be swapped out easily with a different set of so desired.Can be paired with two devices simultaneously and does a good job at managing both. If I'm watching a movie on my tablet and my smartphone rings, it will move the audio over to my phone automatically to take the call. Very handy. Pairing is pretty simple. Just hold down the call button until the light flashes blue then connect to it with your device. Range is acceptable at around 60 ft LoS. If I get out of range it will re-connect automatically when I get back most of the time.Button placement is great. Volume rocker and power button on the edge, while the button to answer you phones is on the front along with the track skip buttons.If <$50 is all you're looking to spend for bluetooth headphones that are a household brand, look no further.

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 had the following requirements for a bluetooth device- Should connect to both my blackberry and my android - I use the latter to listen to music a lot- Should be stereo because my usage for music is a lot more- Should not be hanging on my ear all the time- Should be easy to change earphones - I use different one for running, for regular calling and for office due to ergonomic reasonsI searched a lot and bought one from Noisehush too - truth be told, I loved it and it was nice looking but it could connect to only one device. I checked the other Sony versions - the clips were flimsy. After lot of searching, I hit onto this one. Here is why I love these.- Meets all my requirements above- Superlight and great battery backup- Good audio quality- The clip is rotatable and made of steel and is very sturdy and holds tight too- Super easy to connect to devices. I actually started switching devices e.g. started using it on my ipad and did not have to fiddle around too much. True, it can connect only two devices at a time but it is now saved on my iPad and my two mobiles.- While listening to music, I could easily take calls from any of the two phones.Love it!
