14 DAY TRIAL // Headsets are something we see all the time, both in and out of stores, which is why we pay mind to all the unusual traits of every new one that we write about, and that goes for the SBH50 Stereo Bluetooth Headset as well.
Sony's SBH50 Stereo Bluetooth Headset has an elongated body, which should appeal to customers' sense of aesthetics.
It doesn't hurt that the item has a very special OLED screen of 128 x 36 pixels, for displaying the volume and, more importantly, reading messages and keeping track of calls.
That's right, the SBH50 Stereo Bluetooth Headset works best in tandem with a smartphone or call-capable tablet.
The former in particular, since we imagine it being bought by athletes, and people who like to go jogging once in a while.
Obviously, in-ear earphones like the ones used by the SBH50 Stereo Bluetooth Headset will fit better than bulky Bluetooth headsets or anything else beyond a certain size.
It doesn't hurt that OLED technology uses less power than alternative display solutions, cutting down on the battery power leeched off.
Speaking of which, the accessory uses an 115 mAh battery that can last for eight hours on a single charge.
As for the remaining specs, the SBH50 comes with built-in FM radio, Bluetooth 3.0 for phone connection, and built-in NFC (near-field communications).
Sales should have already started in most countries where Sony has a supply chain (which is to say, most of the world). The price is of €50 / $64 (according to exchange rates). The earphones can be unplugged, which means that purchasers can use their own, or buy a different set if they feel it is warranted.
