Product Description
Clip the pendant to your shirt and don whatever headphones suit you best. A 3.5 mm input jack allows you to swap them to listen to your music your way. Music automatically mutes when a call comes in, and resumes when you end the call. All handled without touching your phone. Play the music in your phone through the high-quality stereo headphones of the DS205 without any physical connection between the phone and your ears. Features include: - Wireless music streaming: With A2DP you can stream high-quality stereo music from your phone to your wireless headset or other BluetoothTM devices. - Never miss a call: It's called a stereo portable handsfree because it's for more than listening. A microphone, call answer key and 3.5 mm jack to swap headphones are all built-in. - Auto pairing: A feature that makes pairing the device with your Bluetooth mobile phone faster and simpler by dropping the PIN code without compromising security. - Adaptive Frequency Hopping (AFH): Reduces the impact of interference between wireless technologies, resulting in excellent audio quality. - Compatibility: All Sony Ericsson wireless devices have been developed in co-ordination with Sony Ericsson mobile phones, but are also compatible with Bluetooth-equipped handsets from other manufacturers. - Superior sound: Each element of a Sony Ericsson music accessory is designed for the best audio performance. Clear sound, deep bass and better performance as standard. - Enhanced Data Rate: Much faster transmission speed, lower power consumption and greater bandwidth. What this means is less interruptions and better battery performance. - Safe driving: Mobile phone usage in cars is regulated in many countries. Using the correct handsfree equipment can enable you to stay in touch and within the law. - The Bluetooth experience: Bluetooth wireless technology frees more than your hands - it lets your devices talk to each other without tangles, across ranges of up to 10 metres.

This bluetooth adaptor works very well with my iPhone 3GS, the only thing that does not work is the track FF & REW funtion, this is down to the iphone not supporting bluetooth remote profile, hopefully this will come in the next OS update.
The sound quality is amazing. According to bluetooth tech specs, on paper the sound quality should be inferior to the wired method however with my ears the sound is identical for quality and loudness. I have connected my Shure SE530 short wire, Sennheiser HD 25's and the Bose QC 3 to the 205's and I cannot detect any sound degradation at all however, I'm not an audiophile expert.
The battery is very good, lets put it this way, the battery on my 3GS with bluetooth on ran out before the SE 205. This is the only downside to BT headphones, the wireless convenience will drain your phone's battery however I believe it's worth it for the freedom of wireless.
I am very careful with all my headphones but I have caught and torn the wire of various pairs on door handles , clothes and in crowds on the tube causing loss of sound in one or both channels but with BT this is a thing of the past.
I have used the SE 205 in the gym and it's so good not having my iphone in my pocket weighing my leg down or falling out while on the rower OR OTHER Machines, now I just leave my iphone on the floor while I work out and stretch. You may think this is no big deal and iI am being OTT but trust me it makes a big difference.
Overall these get 5 stars. I was going to buy the Sennheiser MM450 and one day I probably will (tried them in selfridges and they are amazing and with zero wires) but these stopped me and will do more than the job of wirefree music listening for now.

The Sony HBH-DS205 is a bluetooth stereo headset that allows alternative earphones to be used with standard 3.5mm stereo mini-jack.
Pairing with a Sony Mobile phone was immediate without the need to enter a code. Pairing with an Edimax bluetooth dongle on a PC was straight forward.
The headset is supplied with a speacial charger, different to other Sony bluetooth headsets but the charger from a Sony Mobile phone can also be used.
The headphones do not cut off external sounds as well as the earbuds supplied with the K800i, but are considerably better quality. Personally I find this safer for listening to music when travelling. Although larger and a little heavier than the handsfree supplied earphones they comfortable and no not fall out.
The large clip secures the battery/control to shirt pockets, collars or even a chain.
Although I am not keen on yet another specialised power supply this is not an issue for Sony Mobile phone owners. The unit is neat and allowing other 3.5mm stereo headphones to be used means you can even used a Sennheiser IE8.
For under £40 a good buy.

I've read a number of internet reviews debating whether this will, or will not, work with iPhone 3GS, well I can confirm it definitely does. My intenton is to use this bluetooth dongle for music play back through my own headphones rather than for hands free phone calls so not tried it yet to see how it handles calls but for music I'm more than happy. Sound quality is very good and the dongle can control the iPhone volume up/down and pause/start while it's sat in your pocket or case etc. it won't however skip tracks forward or backward like it's supposed to for some reason but for me this is not major deal. Also works fine in the car paired to my iPhone and plugged into the aux-in jack in the glove box so no more trailing leads!!. Highly recommended.

Proprietary power makes it useless
Uses a stupid proprietary power connector, rendering it useless. Everything like this should be Micro USB these days, but actually this is a product from 2006. Read more
