Sony Ericsson 1271-2913 Sbh50 Bluetooth Headset

Disclaimer: I am not an Audiophile. I do not buy top of the line $400 headsets. Everything in this review is strictly my opinion on the performance of the SBH50 by Sony.I received this in the mail afree about a week ( ~5 business days ) and used it everyday since. I only had two concerns when I purchased this Bluetooth receiver.My first concern, batterylife. How long would it last?Well worry not. After a week of continuous everyday use ( charged every night ) the battery has easily lasted an entire day. My batterylife could probably exceed 12 hours of continuous operation if I wanted it too. Also, like other reviews stated, it can be used while charging.My second concern: Audio quality. How good would it be? Would the connection be choppy? How about the bass?Needless to say, my expectations were blown out of the water. As a matter of fact, the audio quality of this BlueTooth receiver is BETTER than that of my Galaxy S4 to which it is paired. other than that, the bass and stuff is well balanced. Not too strong, but far from weak. The audio range on this device is very dynamic - with no flat tones. Compared to other BT receivers which in my experience, need external amps, this this receiver is Amazing.Audio distortion? None at all.Connection quality? Perfect. Never once did the connection break during use.Connection range? 50ft as advertised. I can walk the entirety of my home, end to end, floor to floor. But the instant I go outside, my connection is lost, as expcected to be completely honest.Build Quality of the receiver:Sleek, sexy, and tastefull. Not big at all and the black looks very good to me. Though I think the build is solid, I would personally do what I can to avoid dropping it from torso height onto hard surfaces, and playing with the clip to avoid breaking the clip as other reviews static it could be fragile.The best part of this headset is the fact that I can use any headset I want with it. So if the Sony headset were to break, or the connecter were to fail, I could simply get a new one. However, I believe this to be a double edged sword as well. Though I am yet to see a female audio check break, it is still a possibility. So treat it well. I'm personally not a fan of how the connector feels, as it feels mushy when I insert the headphones into the output jack. But, like I said, it's very unlikely a female audio jack would break. So I'm confident the ear buds would break long before the receiver does.Display quality:Fantastic. Easy to read, rather bright OLED matrix display. Even on a sunny day, but not in direct sunlight, just like every other light emitting display.Quality of included headphones:In my opinion, this is the only weak link in the whole deal. Don't get me wrong, the sound quality of the headphones is very good. The build quality is nothing special with its rubber and bud design. However, the build layout is incredibly stupid.For starters, the ENTIRE headset is too short. For example, if you were to clip it to your belt, or pocket below your belt, the included headphones would restrict your head range of motion. As in, you cant look up without the headphone either straining your ears, or simply popping out.The second but that really annoyed me, is one lenght of bud, is much longer than the other side, whichages them uncomfortable to use.Finally, the headphones are not marked Left or Right. This isn't a big deal to me peraonally, bit it might bother someone else.TL:DR headphones: They need to be longer, have mathing bud lengths, and be labeled Left and Right. They would be perfect that way. But because of these issues, I am likely going to buy new buds. Because I can.I think that's it. Hopefully somebody can find something useful in all that.

I work out regularly - running, cycling - and always listen to music or stream news or talk radio. I've gone through many types of headsets. My last bluetooth set was the LG HBS700. The LG was fine for a while, but they were damaged from sweat so I tossed them in the trash. I looked around and found these. I liked that I can get notifications and control my music. In practice it's kind of wonky. You still need a headphones with a cable connection. At least this device is way lighter than the LG headset. I stole and idea from the LG headset as I really liked that I could store the ear plugs away with a magnetic holder when not in use, so I epoxied some tiny rare earth magnets to the side of the SBH50 and onto the back of the ear plug (I purchased a separate short single sided headphone for this) and can clip the SBH50 to my collar and the magnet will hold the ear plug and when I need it I just grab it and stick it in my ear, for those times I want to use it around the office and not have a headphone stuck in my ear all day. The setup works fine, but I end up not using a headset around the office, so it was just more to see if I could make it work. I pretty much use it only when I work out and in those situations I leave them plugged in all the time so I just use the headphones that came with it. I recently got a pebble smartwatch so I don't use the SBH50 for notifications or even to control my music anymore - I just use the pebble. If I would've already had the pebble I think I would've just got the version of this without the screen. Battery life is better than the LG headset, and it's helpful that it does indicate battery life on screen so I guess having a screen is still useful. So far I like this better for my needs than just about everything else I've tried. I can clip this in a place that it won't be dripping with sweat so hopefully it'll last longer, and the battery life is good, sound quality is good enough, I can still answer calls if I need, it's very light and barely noticeable, the clip is sturdy enough (I've heard clips on earlier sony models were prone to breaking), if the headphones go bad from sweat I can just replace them and not have to replace the device.

Había comprado previamente un manos libres de Sony que incluía micrófono y bocina, a manera de 'mini-teléfono'. En realidad me interesaba poder tener una solución barata y de buena calidad para escuchar música y hacer llamadas sin lidiar con los enredos típicos de los cables guardados en los bolsillos.La calidad de audio es muy buena, y la capacidad de guardar la conexión a dos equipos en memoria (p.ej. un celular y una laptop) hace muy cómodo pasar de la calle a la oficina. Los audífonos son de buena calidad, dando graves profundos y sonidos nítidos aún a altas frecuencias.

Very good product!

Demasiado grande para mi gusto, no muy cómodo, la batería duro poco tiempo.Por lo demás funciona bien, carga rápida y la bocina que tiene resulta útil en algunas ocasiones.

Ses super

La entrega en tiempo y forma, los auriculares ficcional de forma increíble, los audífonos incluidos tienen una calidad de audio decenteEs muy cómodo y la capacidad del micrófono es muy buena ya que no es necesario gritarle al headset para que escuchen en tu llamada telefónica
