Sony DRBT21GB On Ear Stereo Bluetooth Headphones: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics & Photo

I'd tried a couple of other A2DP headsets before I settled on these.

I find if I turn my head to the right too far, with my (walkman) phone in my right pocket then the music stutters, but otherwise it's perfect. Clear sound, a nice design, responsive controls and they connect easily with my phone time after time, day after day.

The built-in mic can't handle phone calls in noisy areas very well, but it's easy enough to switch to the phone, and in quieter environments I get no complaints. I'm looking forward to bluetooth phones that use arrays of digital mics.

Oh, and the rocker switch doesn't always push in so well, sometimes taking a couple of times to pause a song. It's not a big deal, but maybe you appreciate the warning?

5.0 out of 5 stars Review on Sony DRBT21GB Bluetooth Headphones , 21 Jul 2008

By	Mr. C. Granton "chrisgranton" (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Bought a Sony Playstation 3 Console in September last year and wanted to be able to speak to friends online whilst playing online games so, needed to think about purchasing some bluetooth headphones to enable me to do this.

Out of all the different type of headphones I have worn over the years I have found the small in ear type earphones do not stay in my ear that well and the other type of headset that hooks over the ear uncomfortable to wear if worn for long periods of time. As I would be using a headset for gaming and for long periods of time both did not meet my requirements and I deemed both these types unsuitable.

After going on various sites and having no luck in finding a suitable pair, I started to research and look on the internet at various sites to see if you could get any such thing as bluetooth headphones that look like an ordinary pair of 'traditional' stereo headphones with the headband but minus the cable as this type would be ideal! Found the exact ideal pair that met my requirements on Amazon(Sony DRBT21GB) and ordered a set. When they arrived, I found pairing the headphones to the PS3 extremely easy indeed as instruction book was clear and very easy to follow. Couldn't have been easier!

What can I say but very impressed with the headphones indeed! Very comfortable to wear, nice design, clear sound, good location of controls such as volume level etc. One thing that really impressed me is the excellent long life of the internal battery! Can literally use them for days before needing to recharge.(which doesn't take long either).

Another feature I found useful/ impressive is that you can check the amount of charge remaining in the battery by holding the power button for a few seconds after switching on. This is shown by the amount of times the LED light flashes. (All is explained in instruction book again very clearly). Battery has a very slow drainage if headset is stored for a long time as well and holds it's charge extremely well!

Having bought Sony products before in the past and being well known for having an excellent reputation, this was the reason I chose this particular model also.

Again, what else can I say but anyone that is looking for a good bluetooth stereo headset, these I would highly recommend to anyone! Excellent and well worth the money! Brilliant design Sony!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good sound with music & phone calls but a little basic looking, 8 Mar 2008

By	MJ King "MJK" (Birmingham, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

First the not so good bits:

Appearance. Its basic & old fashioned looking.

Sound leakage. There's quite a bit of it (inevitable with this open back design) & you'd need to keep the volume quite low when using them in a quiet environment.

Everything else is pretty good:

Music. OK, not too compressed sounding & clear & can go very loud. Base a bit quiet but the timing is fair enough.

Phone Calls. Clear & loud & (with a suitable mobile) your mobile will ring even if you are playing music.

Its quite quick to charge, 'pairs' easily with all the mobiles I've tried it with (Nokia, Motorola & Sony Ericson) & you can change tracks , adjust the volume etc via the headset .

Best of all the sound very rarely drops & the build quality is pretty good (as you'd expect from Sony)

Price is good & the instructions clear.

All in all, a very good buy!
