The Sony Ericsson website claims that the snazzily named HBH-GV435 bluetooth headset can be worn all day 'with lasting comfort,' and to be honest they're right! I've been using this latest bluetooth headset with a Sony Ericsson K610i and a Nokia 6233 for a couple of weeks now, and I found it paired with both phones beautifully and provided a good stable connection. The headset is well put together in true SE style, and it is very light. It can easily be worn on either side, and it sits comfortably behind the ear with the small speaker unit hinged into the ear canal.



Sony say the unit uses 'digital sound processing' on the bluetooth 2.0 system, which is all well and good, but what does it sound like in a noisy street? Very clear is the simple answer! Callers tell me that the received sound is also of good clear quality.



Battery life is good. With the unit being used and on standby all day it would need a charge every 3-4 days.



So, back to SE's claim that the GV435 can be worn all day with 'lasting comfort'! Well I'm certainly not going to dispute that, as my wife recently had to remind me to take it off at the dinner table! It had been on all day and I'd forgotten it was there.
