 as good as it should be June 16, 2010

I do recommend this device if you have 2 or more bluetooth mobiles and don't want to use wire. Very good sound quality and easy connectivity.
 Good but not worth the hassle April 26, 2010

The cords on this bluetooth are not worth the hassle...It is hard to store in my purse as well as the weight of the dangling main unit is irritating. I only considered and decided to purchase because I thought I could use this with the FM receiver on my phone. I did not read the instructions clearly, you have to have earphones that actually plug into the phone to act as an antenna to recieve reception. I find I do not chose this bluetooth over my old Plantronics which is still great though it is held together with a band aid. I do not like the earbuds of the Sony over the incert of the Plantronics. The earbud makes me hear myself with blocked ears louder than the person I am talking to. I would have returned if I had kept all the packaging.
update: I did return this product and bought the plantronic 925. I like this one that I bought another for my boyfriend.
Amazon took the return even though it was after the 30 days. I did have all the packaging was able to make stress-free return.
 so far so good April 17, 2010

I got this to replace the stock headphones that came with my Palm Pre. Quality is much better and the added advantage of the fact they are blue tooth. Pairing was easy and adding the phone was no problem at all. Also shared contacts easily. There is still that slight blue tooth lag that I've experienced with everything blue tooth. Been wearing them for about an hour now and they are light and comfortable and I don't feel like I cyborg. Been using them for music and haven't noticed any problem with range, these are going to make house work a lot easier and enjoyable.
Also paired with my laptop but it seemed to have dropped the music pairing and didn't check the phone pairing while playing music off the laptop. However when I tried to pair back with music playback on the Pre it refused to reconnect. I've noticed this issue with my speaker phone in the car and the Pre dropping pairing or having to disconnect and reconnect. So this might be an issue with the Pre. Another issue is the display and buttons are awkward if you are right handed and the display naturally tends to twist so it is face against your chest. This is nit picking but still will take a little more adaption and UI learning curve that sony is usually good at avoiding.
Another draw back is there seems to be no track listing on the display but I really haven't played with it. I have to say that the pairing with Windows 7 was the smoothest blue tooth experience I've ever had.
In closing, I have to say this is what I was looking for. I wanted a replacement for my headphones on my laptop and phone for music and media but could also be used for hands free phone calls.
It's Okay, but most definitely meant for Sony Phones. March 22, 2010

I love SonyEricsson phones and products. I no longer own an SE phone, and this is unfortunate as the HBH-980 would be awesome with any SE phone, I'm sure. Unfortunately, I cannot take full advantage of all the features of the HBH-980 with my current phone and laptop setup.
+ PROS +
* Decent Sound Quality (for cell phone and Windows music players [WinAmp, WMP, etc.])
* Necklace style headphones.
* Great for SonyEricsson Phones.
* Looks cool.
- CONS -
* There is too much slack for the headphones, it hangs to low (for me at least). This is true no matter how the length is adjusted.
* The sounds cuts out constantly when using the set with my BlackBerry (BB) phone. (At least once per song)
* The address book feature does not work with my BB.
* The charger is inconvenient for me as I no longer have a SonyEricsson phone.
* There is no 3.5mm input jack.
* The range is poor at best ( at least in an environment with only moderate interference )
* In Windows, the next/prev buttons do not work for WinAMP. I'm sure there is a work around, but it is just unfortunate that this functionality is not working from the get go. I'm not too fond of other music players...
* In Ubuntu, this device registers as a mono headset and the sound quality was horrid when listening to music with RhythmBox. This is another unfortunate discovery. Again, I'm sure there is a work around (different drivers, maybe) but it just sucks from the get go. The next/previous also did not work.
Conclusion:
I do not think this product is bad, but it is definitely not what I personally am looking for in a headset. I can't iterate enough that this headset works best with SE phones, and maybe Macs or Windows users using iTunes or some other player?
This product would be almost 5 stars for sure if I still had my old phone.
