Review of Bluetooth-headset Sony Ericsson HBH-PV705

Continuing reviews of Sony Ericsson accessories, let’s move on to another headset – model PV705, that can be called a classical solution in this category.

Table of contents:



Sony Ericsson HBH-PV705 – is the headset for calm life, without luxury, but with self-respect.

Sales package. Headset, charger, strap and many user guides. That is all things, that the box contains. The device itself is covered with transparent plastic and behind it there is a small box with accessories.

Appearance. This headset is carried on the ear, so it has all the necessary supplements. The ear loop is made of plastic and has a rubberized tip, which is safe for delicate skin behind the ear.

The loop is fixed very firm, but it is still detachable. You can wear it either on the left ear or on the right one. You have to remove the loop, turn over, fix it again and you can wear it on the other ear. The casing is painted in two colours. To imagine it better, picture to yourself coffee with milk and add to it a bit of nacre. That is the colour of the inset on the front panel. It seems to fray out very soon, especially near the edges. The insert houses power button, call receive/reject button, in short, that is a multifunctional key. Near it locates an indicator. On the edge we see volume rocker key.

Beneath situates the microphone, on the top there are an eye to the strap and charger slot.

Control features of Sony Ericsson HBH-PV705. At first, when you receive an incoming call, you will confuse the receive button with diod, that is much alike, but soon you get used to it. To adjust volume is very convenient, as the loudness button is rather distinct. If you need to turn off the microphone while talking, you are to press all surface of the volume button. But there’s a knack to this action.

The headset fits rather firmly. But I’d like to address to those buyers, who are going to have active way of living, visit a gym or go for a run with the headset … After a couple of jumps or energetic inclinations aside the device can fall down. So you’d better to move to the calm life, or look for another, firmer fastening.

I didn’t notice the device on the ear at all. The headset doesn’t press thanks to the light weight, only 14g. After 5-10 minutes you forget, that you are wearing the headset.
The strap in the package turned to be strong.

It has a special plastic arrangement, that’s used to take it away without pulling it off the nack. But you have to work it up, as it is tight and you make efforts to open the lock.

The strap for the headset is, of course, two-edged weapon. From one hand it is very convenient – when you don’t need the headset, just hang it on the neck. Otherwise, you don’t have another places to put it. In the pocket it may go bad, in the bag it may be lost or broken. On the other hand, you need it again, and instead or wireless device has also the strap on the neck, as you can’t take it off constantly.

Work quality. We tested the headset in the house with wooden walls, there it did well. But common concrete walls were a hard task for it, as some noise appeared. When we were on the place without hindrances, 10 m were not a problem at all. The sound quality is excellent. The signal is stable without distortions. The interlocutors also spoke well of the sound. We were pleased with long battery life. Of course, it is not 12 hours long, as the manufacturer claims, but still it has very close result.

Targeted audience of Sony Ericsson HBH-PV705. I don’t think, that we can sort out the audience by gender or age. And even income is not an index, as any well-off man can buy the headset for 50-60 dollars. I mean, that even him the device can attract. I agree, that version of Bluetooth is not the latest, and the headset has nothing special in functionality. But Sony EricssonHBH-PV705 is just the right thing to the steady, calm, assured people, who free oneself enough to wear a headset for the comfort, but not to attract attention.

Conclusion. Many people complain, that there is nothing much in the gadget except long battery life. But why should it have something special? I bet, that the majority of the customers prefer classical accessories without surprises and frills. And also there are a lot of people, who want to spend not a big sum of money, but get high-quality device with nice design instead, though it can be very plain.
