The Sony Ericsson HBH-DS970 Bluetooth Stereo Headset is one of the better products for phones that double as music players. Sound is delivered in stereo and the control pod, worn on a neck strap, operates most features. Being that it is a Bluetooth product, it seems disappointing that so many cords are involved; however, the headset still provides a lot of versatility and freedom. The earbuds are wired, yet are comfortable and lightweight. The control pod has buttons for receiving calls and for playing music, but the best feature is the LCD that displays song titles and caller ID information.

As for the phone portion, both incoming and outgoing sound are very good. Numerous features are supported, such as voice dialing, call reject and mute. The battery offers about 6 hours of talk/listen time and roughly 10 days of standby. Overall, the Sony Ericsson HBH-DS970 Bluetooth Stereo Headset is a unique option for people who want quality access to phone calls and music.
