CNET has a review of the Sony Ericsson HBH-DS970 and writes – “We’ve grown accustomed to not associating wires or cords with anything Bluetooth, but the stereo HBH-DS970 is an exception. A durable cord extends from the headset’s control pod to form a lanyard worn around your neck with the pod hanging against your chest. The twin earpieces connect to the lanyard via two short wires. Though we got used to the wearing style eventually, the arrangement can get a bit cumbersome, and it was only comfortable if we weren’t moving around much. In other words, this isn’t a headset for the gym. Also, the location of the call handling button just below the left earpiece was rather awkward.”

Jabra BT160 Bluetooth Headset Review at Infosyncworld

Infosyncworld has a review of the Jabra BT160 and writes – “While the BT160’s interchangeable covers may appeal to chatty sports fans, this somewhat bulky headset drops the ball with its poor call quality. Weighing in at a relatively hefty 0.5 ounces, the BT160 felt shaky on our ear, and we had a tough time hearing friends on the other end. Unless you’re a die-hard NBA fanatic, you’re probably better off with the Samsung WEP200.”
LG HBM-550 Bluetooth Headset Review at CNET
December 6th, 2006 | Posted by in Bluetooth Headset | LG - (0 Comments)
CNET has a review of the LG HBM-550 and writes – “As we mentioned, the LG HBM-550 follows the LG Chocolate closely in style and design. It has a glossy black front and is very compact, measuring only 0.74×1.61×0.65 inches and weighing in at only 0.42 ounce. The multifunction button may feel a little flat to the surface of the headset, but there is a slight groove around it, making it easy to find by feel. It also yielded easily to pressure. On the left spine is the volume rocker, while the charger jack rests on top of the device. The volume rocker was easy to press, even when the headset was worn on the ear.”
