    HBH-DS220 Initial Review Verdict: Love it!

    Just got the HBH-DS220, and have used it for about 2 hours total. My initial verdict: I love this thing!

    First, the thing it does not have: No next / previous buttons. For me this isn't an issue, as I don't ever plan to use it without the phone near me.

    Ok, on to the good stuff:

    Bluetooth coverage: Unbelievable. I've gotten up to about 30 feet with a wall in between the HBH-Ds220 and my K850i, with no degradation in sound quality or static of any kind.

    Display: Shows bars for battery life, as well as indicating when it is powering up and pairing mode.

    Build Quality: This thing is small and super light. you'd forget you wearing wearing it if it weren't for the headphones Feels solid and well made.

    Sound Quality: Could not tell the difference between using it or using hardwired headphones. Quite simply, it sounds fantastic.

    Battery Life: Since I've only used it for about 2 hours, I can't comment on that yet.

    Pics coming soon...

    Congrats on the purchase, Paco Pics don't show up, though.
    So, are they still functional while being recharged?

    with your SE phone and the hbh-ds220 connected does the eq change when you change it in the phone or does it sound the same even if you choose mega bass?

    Yes, eq settings do change the music going through the device.

    Seriously? with my W880i connected to the ds220 it makes no difference what eq I have it set.

    Yup. the changes aren't huge, but they aren't huge when I am using wired headphones either. But they do change.

    I just bought a pair of these headphones and I must say I am quite happy. Sound quality is good, and there is no skipping with music.

    I have found that with movies on my p1i that there is skipping, which is unfortunate. I also find the battery strength to be mediocre (i get around 4 hours).

    With my p1i the eq works. I switched from normal to megabass and it was quite noticeable.

    Trying again to post photos. They load fine directly, but hofo seems to be choking on them. Adding direct links in case they still don't load inline.

    just making sure,
    there's a volume control on the ds220, right? i was never able to tell in the stock pictures.

    congrats on your purchase though =)
