Hi,
I just bought the HBH-65 and I used it on my T68i and I just got a T616. I noticed that the T68i was a little better in terms of sound quality. Anyway, what I thought I'd bring up was that outdoors the HBH-65 isn't the most ideal hands free set. In fact my voice is pretty faint whether it's outdoors or indoor. Before you ask my headset was fully charged and was worn properly.

I left myself voicemails there's definitely no comparison between voice quality of the regular handset and the bluetooth HBH-65. The phone's microphone wins hands down in terms of volume and sound quality. I'm actually a little disappointed by the results. The HBH-65 was actually really faint and in some respects it sounds like I'm underwater. I didn't get the wavering voice weirdness with the T68i.

I'm actually thinking of purchasing the HBH-35 instead hoping that it might. Do you think it might make a difference? I really enjoy the fact that there aren't any cables attaching me to the phone when using bluetooth, but if this is what the people are hearing then there's a problem.

I use my HBH-65 paired with Z600 all the time. No complaints from any of my friends/callers. Ofcourse the quality of sound would be a little different from phone microphone vs. headset microphone. But it is not that much of a difference. I'm very happy with my pair.

Thanks for your replies. Quick question. Are you using the unit outdoors or in your car? I found that outdoors my voice can be heard, but it's very, very quiet. It's probably because the microphone is so far from my mouth.

I found it interesting that if you go to www.SonyEricsson.com their recommended bluetooth car headset is the HBH-35. The HBH-65 is not listed in that category.

Even though the HBH65 headset is not the best, it certainly does not give any probs.

Just out of curiosity for those folks that say that everything sounds fine. Have you tried leaving yourself a voice message using the HBH-65 and listening to yourself? I always thought everything sounded fine until I decided to try it out and leave a voice message to myself. That's when I found out it's near impossible to hear myself talk when outdoors. When indoors my voice sounds like it's missing a higher frequency range in my voice, but I'm sure the person should be able to hear me. When I compared the volume to my regular phone handset though the handset won hands down. It's very loud and clear.

I guess it'll depend on the environment where I use the bt headset.
