RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., May 8 /-- Sony Ericsson today announced its newest stereo Bluetooth(TM) Headset, the HBH-DS980. This stylish accessory delivers wireless music and calls with superior sound performance, even in noisy environments. This is achieved through advances in design, ergonomics and audio:
o Digital noise cancellation/echo reduction to reduce background noise
o Bluetooth(TM) 2.0 to deliver better quality voice calls
o A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) for high quality sound when listening to music
o A hidden OLED display delivers a seamless design effect, much brighter than a conventional LCD display.
"As more and more people choose to store their digital music on their mobile phone, it becomes increasingly practical to use a Bluetooth(TM) stereo headset that can deliver quality audio," explains Jacob Sten, head of the Accessories Business Unit at Sony Ericsson. "This latest headset is a compact, stylish design that you will want to be seen wearing. It is so convenient that your phone need never leave your pocket or purse."
With talk time or music playback time of up to 6 hours, the HBH-DS980 was designed with practicality and comfort in mind. Soft silicon ear buds are provided in three sizes to ensure an optimum fit with the size and shape of the wearer's ear. Separate to the headset, the overall unit weighs in at just 27 grams (.95 ounces) -- lightweight for wearing around the neck.
Finished in a stylish charcoal color, the Stereo Bluetooth(TM) Headset HBH-DS980 features a hidden 'magic mirror' display that becomes visible once the headset is activated. Use it to view the title of the song playing on your phone, the battery status of your headset or the details of the caller trying to reach you.
You can use the HBH-DS980 with more than one device at the same time. The new multipoint function allows you to listen to music stored on a Bluetooth(TM) enabled laptop and handle calls from your phone at the same time.
The Stereo Bluetooth(TM) Headset HBH-DS980 is designed with the wearer in mind. As well as maximizing comfort and flexibility, the subtle design makes it the ideal companion for North American phone models such as the recently announced Sony Ericsson W580 Walkman(R) phone and the Sony Ericsson Z750. The HBH-DS980 will be available worldwide from Q3 2007.
