Just mine today and had to wait 3hrs for it to charge-up.... Damn that was log wait. But it works perfectly and a lot better then my HBH-30 and my Nextlink Bluespoon...... Great size with buttons in the right place for easy use. Not like the Bluespoon buttons which are hard to press and locate on the device. The color is great too but now I have to wait for the Grey cover for the phone so they match........

great pics!!!

Better? Could you be more specific? How is it better?

Posted by: fbakirdan

Buttons are large enough and placed on top and bottom so your fingers can press them without having to sense which button is which as on the Bluespoon. On the Bluespoon you have to press the button which in turn forces the small device in to your ear canal and can be painfull if not done correctly ever time. Not to mention that this is my 4th Bluespoon from Nextlink as the ones I got in the past arrived dead or stopped working after several weeks but the last one I got from them seems to be working fine now not that I will be using it much anymore. I ordered the Sound ID one and am waiting on that one to see how it works. But for now the HBH-60 is perfect and I almost forgot the sound quality is fantastic better than both the (HBH-30 & Bluespoon) for the first day but will let everyone know in a few days if it continues to perform up to par. So far everyone I have spoken to today tell me its like I am on a land line with the headset, now thats a compliment......

How about the working range of the HBH-60? How far away from the phone before the sound quality get distorted ?

That's some exciting news fbakirdan. So you now own both a Bluespoon and the HBH-60 (a nice position to be in) and find that the audio quality is "better" on the HBH-60! Can you be a little more specific as to why you think the HBH-60 sounds better.

I realize you've just gotten the HBH-60 and need a few days to confirm your first impressions (got to get over the honeymoon if you know what I mean). I am very curious to see that by the end of next week you still feel the same way... please keep us posted!

OK.... Your right the honeymoon is on and so far so good the HBH-60 is up to the challange. I have been using it pretty much all over the house it is performing without a hitch....

the range so far seems to be better than both the Bluespoon I have and the HBH-30. I paired all three with the P800 and tested each one. I placed a call to the guys down at the cigar shop with each one and walked into the next room all three worked fine about 15ft. Then I moved into the kitchen and thats when the HBH-30 started to breakup but the bluespoon and HBH-60 keeped going strong about 20ft with one wall blocking view of the P800. So I moved into the bathroom which is about 30ft from the P800 with two walls and one door closed.... Hey I needed the privacy

Both the HBH-60 and Bluespoon started to break-up but I lost the call only on the Bluespoon the HBH-60 held the call for 15 seconds until I moved back into range and could continue the conversation. Not bad...

As for the sound quality maybe I was a little excited with the new toy but I have to say that it just as good as the bluespoon so far and its about $150.00 less, so you could basically get two of them for the price of the Bluespoon. I got mine from my friend over at eXpansys for $139 and change. His name is Dave or you could talk to Denis, just tell them you got the info. from Frank in NYC.......

I'll continue to post me results throughout the week......

I heard talk on another site that the hbh-60 was very sensitive to ambient noise. Some said that while using it in the car or another nosiy environment, using the 60 made it hard for people on the other end of the call to hear the caller clearly. (Especially as compared to the hbh-30.)

Have you tried this? Any comments? Thanks.

I've been using it for a day - sound quality is good, on both ends of the line.. The voice dial (paired with P800) is particularly useful when driving, and the size is so cool, it doesn't hurt the ear or make u feel like u have a banana dangling on one ear..

Ok for everyone out there waiting for my complete test here it is of HBH-60. I had to drive down to Virginia to see my brother for the day on Sunday. Around 720miles 11hrs in one day and I got to use the HBH-60 in the car the whole time calling friends and family to test it out and to say hi to everyone.....

I had it one for 5.5hrs going down and 5.5hrs coming back up..

It worked perfectly without much discomfort evern with my glasses on as I didn't put my contacts in that morning. Its light weight and fits perfectly in and on my ear. The sound quality was good not great as I was in the Civic instead of the Benz. This I contribute to the wind noise as the Civic is built well but has a lot of interior noise and with the window down it was hard to hear the other individual on the line and they found it difficult to understand every word I said. I stopped to walk the Dog and fill-up once and got to use the voice dial feature to call my wife to tell her my progress and it worked very well with phone in car and me about 10-15ft away with very little distortion.

Over all it performed very will. It did however run out of battery power as I used it (talk time) for close to 3hrs. This would be the only real complaint I have with the HBH-60. I would like to see if SE can come up with a longer life battery that can last (talk time) 5-6hrs for the power users out there in the world like myself.

If your interested in purchasing this headset... Your not going to go wrong with

Its worth every bit of the $140 price.

I hope this answers everyones questions.

Happy Trails

I'm curious, since you seem to have the hbh-30 as well -- did anyone report MORE noise, when you were driving, coming through the mic and how does the Bluetooth range, the distance between the phone and the hbh-60, compare?

Thanks.

It seems to be just a little better than the HBH-30 about five feet and a wall in the way. Sound is quality is a lot better.

I don't have the HBH-30, but feel that the sound is indeed very clear on the 60. However, i do have problems with voice dialing when in shopping malls..
