Very simple to pair, and use. Works excellent with the voice recognition feature of the phone to place calls. Too bad the seller sent me a white one instead of the advertised BLACK. Fits great, doesn't fall, battery could last longer.
The one downside is that battery life has decreased from about 2 hours of talk time when I first got it, to sometimes as low as 50 minutes of continuous talk time presently. I bought this in April two years ago, So I've been using it for nearly 2 years. My Sony cell phone only needs to be charged about every three days. I was amazed at how good it sounded and how comfortable it was to wear. However the leash is a must, I don't believe it is meant to stay in the ear for extended periods of time when not talking. This needs to be charged nightly if I want to count on it the next day. Probably the best bluetooth to use with a Sony phone.
I bought this headset to replace the Samsung WEP200 I was using for my PS3. I just couldn't figure out a way to get the Samsung to fit in my ear comfortably, and the HBH-IV835 does just that. Pros - Comfortable, small, light, haven't had a problem with it picking up background noises, you can't control the volume (it's supposed to be automatic) but I've never needed it to be louderCons - Ear bud has too much give and has fell out a few times, the headset itself slides in the ear bud so it spends 97% of the time resting against your cheek (more annoying than anything), short battery life (maybe 3 hours)., about double in price from when I got it a few months agoIt's not a bad piece, but I'll stick to wired headsets.
Bought this to avoid loops around ear etc. This one kept falling all the time - totally useless. It surely looks great.Returned it to Amazon.
after that i didn't talk much on the phone, so the bluetooth seems to stay active for about 2 days on average.Another problem is the active range for this bluetooth is not very far. the problem is the battery life is really unstable. the product is not as small and slick as it looks on the picture, but that is fine. if i am talking in the kitchen and my phone is in the bed room, it does not work. it died on me without warning during my calling the first night after an hour talking on the phone. i don't know how long the battery can last, it died twice during the first two days. i am not sure whether all the other bluetooth is like this, but this is definitely a disadvantage. overall, just for normal car-driving, same-room talking, it works fine.
