The latest Sony Ericsson Walkman phones required a solution for listening to music the best way possible: wireless. The HBH-PV703 headset makes this possible with the help of a classy and modern design.

Bluetooth is the solution for getting rid of all the wires while also keeping sound at top performances. The device comes in a small and easy to handle design, with only 61 x 18 mm in size. It weighs 14 grams, which should make it almost impossible to feel and not be disturbing in the least, even when used for a long period of time.

Sony Ericsson went with a more classic design this time, leaving aside bold colors and smooth lines. The HBH-PV703 Headset looks just like some older models of the same kind, with little innovation. This makes it target especially the market that looks for performance above any design flick, as attractive as it might be.

The headset uses Bluetooth 2.0 technology for connecting with mobile phones and is supposed to bring the same results when it comes to listening to music, as well as for conversations. It offers up to 10 hours of talk time and 350 hours of standby time, which means that there are very low chances for the user to miss important calls because the battery ran out.

Auto-pairing makes it possible to automatically connect the HBH-PV703 Headset to the mobile phone, which means that the user has to worry only about activating Bluetooth. Moreover, the user can handle calls from the headset with its built-in answer/end call, last number redial and volume buttons.

The Sony Ericsson HBH-PV703 Headset will be available starting with the first quarter of year 2008 and should manage to make perfect pair with any of the large number of Walkman phones that this producer has to offer. It will come in the colors of black and gray, both pretty discrete and classic to suit any tastes.
