BT headset for Z600

[garfiled]

Anyone know the best Bluetooth headset for me to buy for my Z600? Will need to be used with glasses when driving if that makes a difference to the make/model. Was thinking of the SE HBH 65. Any good? Comments please

Thanks

SE handsets are usually pretty good with any headset!

Been using all the ones at work with my Moto 800/8000 (think its the 800 but not sure, got it cheap off ebay!) and never had any probs with it

The 65 is a spectacular headset, but for £30, I'm more than happy with my moto!

Thanks for all the help people. Got a HBH-65. Can be bit quiet when calling mobiles but the earpiece sits outside the ear so it does feel more comfortable. As for the Z600 its a work of art. Thought it may be too big at first but its not big at all. Very easy to use and is so well made. No creaks when i txt,unlike my nokia!!,not even from the covers. Can highly recommend it.

The one thing i can seem to get working is the following:
Z600 has a feature that is called "caller name". I take it that this should enable you to hear the callers name in the earpiece if you have it stored on the phone. Sure thats what it does but cant get it to work yet.

If i had one complaint to make about the Z600, its that the manual is very poor. Could do with more detailed instructions. Apart from that its a really cool phone

yup. u got that right..
SE should have made a classier & easier to use manual book like nokia does..
I can't believe my eyes when I saw z600 manual book..

I can't believe my eyes when I saw z600 manual book.. Tell me about it!! I have been using my T630 for over 2 months and I'm still trying to find a few function descriptions omitted in the manual or vice versa - present in the manual but not on the phone!! :mad:

All in all the T630 is a good phone though.

[jokay22]

Jo,

From what I have read in here so far, Sony Ericsson HRH-65 works great .... I'm itching to spend more money :p

I would love to get a BT headset like the HBH-65 or the Jabra FreeSpeak for use with my new Z600. It would mostly be for use in the car. I have a question about pairing though...

Does the headset need to be paired and on every time I get in the car, or can my phone ring and I turn on the headset and answer the phone without any other interaction or "button pushing"?

The HBH-65 is a fine match for a Z600. And no, you don't have to pair it each time. You can turn it on and answer if you like, or you can just have it on already and press the button to answer.

I *thought* I read a review or a post somewhere where someone complained of long delays before being able to answer when turning a BT headset on... maybe that was model specific.

Oh yes, HBH65 is a perfect fit for the Z600 :D Reception's great and it fits smugly

My personal experience pairing my z600 with an HBH-65 was great, but the battery-life on the HBH-65 was very disappointing. I was getting about 1.0hr -tops- on it.

After using it for about 2 weeks I gave up on it and got a Jabra BT250 instead. The design is definitely worse than the HBH-65, but at least I don't have to plug it back in after every phone conversation I have with it. It's a tradeoff I'm willing to make though..

just fyi for you folks considering it out there.
