Not only is the design of a mobile phone very important for some users, but a good looking, elegant Bluetooth headset is just as important in some cases, because no one who owns a fashionable mobile phone would enjoy using a bulky headset.

One of the headsets introduced by Sony Ericsson at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas targets the fashion conscious people out there. The headset is both compact and light, it sports an elegant and discreet design and is the result of many years worth of experience that Sony Ericsson has gained.

It can be worn in several ways, either hung around the user's neck with the help of a necklace strap, or kept at hand in a specially designed pouch. The HBH-PV705 Style Edition headset is also customizable, allowing the user to choose between 3 changeable panels, coming in black with embossed floral pattern, white with purple floral detail or elegant purple. It weighs 14 grams and rests on the user's ear with a soft ear hook, therefore not being uncomfortable to the user in any way.

Despite its small size, it sports 12 hours worth of talk time and 300 hours on stand-by and it promises a very pleasant sound experience due to the fact that the microphone is placed close to the mouth.

And because the high performance ear speaker does not cover the user's ear canal, the user can easily talk to the people around without having to take the headset off. The fashionable headset will be available starting early Q1 2007, but the price remains unknown for the time being.
