 Great while it worked July 11, 2008
Jim D (Cambridge, England)
This handsfree worked well for me for about 15 months. It has had only occasional light use in that time. Without warning, in the middle of a phone call, the sound has just died. Charging and restarting does not bring it back to life.
I have heard of other reliability issues with these - one that would not hold a charge for long; another that indicated low battery even when fully charged; some disconnect from the mobile when idle - mine did this, but reconnected if there was an incoming call or I wanted to make a call. It should not have been compatibility issues as my phone is a Sony Ericsson. I am trying to find out if Sony have sorted out these problems with the newer HCB-100E before replacing it.
 Poor sound May 27, 2008

Bought 2 of these - so I could safely talk with my partner.
Connects really well, compact (virtually invisible to passers by), good battery...and of course looks good being Sony... but we just can't hear each other! Infact NOONE can hear me clearly - the same with my partner (mobiles & landlines alike). You lean further and further forward, shout louder and louder and then have to give up. Max speaker volume too low too!
We both have given up and reverted to head sets. I just don't understand the good reviews. In my opinion, they're rubbish. Saw the product on an Amazon email with 5 stars and had to write my first ever online comment!
If you're going to go for one, I'd buy it from somewhere you can take it back to easily if you're not happy.
You may pay a few more quid, but better than wasting 33.
Maybe we just got two duff ones...
Rant over.... good luck!

My next door neighbour recommended this piece of kit.It is much better than my headset. I also use it at my desk at home.
Great January 25, 2008

Very easy to use. Long battery life and looks cool too. What more did I need? If you're looking for this item at a good price, don't go anywhere else.
compact unit - excellent sound quality & value for money!!! December 28, 2007
SarahBerry70 (Scotland)
My husband has been very lucky this christmas! I purchased this as a last minute gift, as he spends many hours on the road.... It is a very cute little unit - very easy to pair with up to 5 phones (we have 3 on it already) and tremendously easy to use/answer calls. I believe there are newer units available from Sony Ericsson, but this must be one of the best you can get for around 45... Cheaper than being fined for using a mobile without handsfree too!
