Sony Ericsson HBH-IS800 Wireless Stereo HeadPhones are designed to be used with a mobile or cell phone. They are not wireless in the true sense as there is a cable that connects the earbuds to the microphone and volume control setting.

Other than that, the headphones are not connected to the device that is producing the music or call. So it is wireless from the sending device. It uses bluetooth technology to receive data.

Most reports suggest that the HBH-IS800 Wireless Stereo HeadPhones work very well with most mobile devices. They rarely drop out of calls or music and there is no interference in sound quality even in very busy environments (like the middle of a large city).

One device that does not seem to work with these headphones is the iPhone 3.0.  There are various problems associated with the iPhone – connectivity problems via the bluetooth solution and also the volume control slider does not seem to work either.

So if you have an iPhone it’s probably best to look for another pair of wireless headphones. In fact, if you are thinking of buying this product, make sure the devices you will be using with them  support Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR (the bluetooth technology used with the headphones).

Despite this problem with iPhones, most people like the design and look of the earbuds. The are small and lightweight. They fit into the ears comfortably and can be worn for many hours without fatigue or ear strain. The cable for the volume control and microphone come with a clip that can attach to your clothing. This ensures that the cable is secure and discrete.

Most people are happy with sound quality so they are ideal for listening to music. Sound quality is also good for making and receiving calls, with both caller and receiver getting a good, clear sound. Although they are not noise canceling in any way, the earbud design does a good job in cutting out any ambient or environmental sound which also enhances the overall sound quality.

One problem that many people mention is that there is no usb connection – you need a Sony proprietor connector cable for recharging. This is not a big problem, it just means that you have to carry the connector cable with you whenever you travel anywhere. Also, the standard for most other wireless stereo bluetooth headphones seems to be a USB connection so SONY would seem to be going in the wrong direction on this issue.

As part of the purchase you receive a carry case which will keep the headset safe when traveling.
