“As more and more people choose to store their digital music on their mobile phone, it becomes increasingly practical to use a Bluetooth stereo headset that can deliver quality audio,” explains Jacob Sten, Head of Accessories Business Unit at Sony Ericsson. “This latest headset manages to do this within a compact, stylish design that you will want to be seen wearing. It is so convenient that your phone need never leave your pocket.”

Given a talk time or music playback time of up to 6 hours, the HBH-DS980 has to be designed with comfort in mind. The soft silicon ear buds on the stereo headset are provided in three sizes, so as to ensure an optimum fit with the size and shape of the wearer’s ear. Separate to the headset, the overall unit weighs in at just 27 grams, so won’t be a burden when worn around the neck.
