The Sony Ericsson HBH-200 Bluetooth handsfree review

The Sony Ericsson HBH-200 Bluetooth handsfree headset is a discreet yet highly sophisticated device.

It's neat and lightweight yet offers advanced functionality such as caller ID (displaying the name or number of the caller) and handsfree call handling.

The HBH-200 consists of a small control unit which can be clipped onto the users' clothes, worn on a lanyard around the neck or simply kept in a shirt pocket. The small earpiece connects to the unit with a thin wire which also houses the microphone.

The unit's LCD display lights up when a call comes in and shows the name or number of the caller and can also show the call list, which is synchronized with the telephone. This makes it easy to call any number on the call list via a few button presses on the HBH-200. Calls can also be made by using voice control; most calls can be made while the phone remains in a pocket, bag or suitcase.

The HBH-200 can also generate ring signals from the control unit and also in the earpiece, so there is no risk of missing a call if the phone is tucked away.

The HBH-200 supports Bluetooth Headset and Handsfree profiles, enabling it to be used with the majority of Bluetooth enabled phones on the market.
