Welcome to the World of Wireless

We've got some exciting news out of Sony Ericsson which we wanted to share. Ben Gallagher who works on Sony Ericsson's marketing strategy shares the news.

The latest product news from Sony Ericsson, our sister company, has changed the way Bluetooth headsets are made.

The Sony Ericsson HBH-IS800 stereo Bluetooth headset performs double duty with two-in-one phone and stereo functions – wirelessly. Users can listen simultaneously to music and take calls from one device. Now that's multi-tasking.

Here's how it works:

• You're listening to music and a call comes in.

• The headset mutes the music.

• You decide to either accept or reject the call.

• If the call is accepted, the music is muted for the user to take the call.

• You hang up and the music resumes.

• If the call is rejected, the music continues to play.

On some other stereo Bluetooth headsets, there is a dongle which stores the Bluetooth function, battery and provides call handling and music management such as pausing and restarting tracks. With the new lightweight Sony Ericsson headset those capabilities are all captured in the earphones. No more having something hanging around your neck or chest; just two earbuds and a small wire that lies on the back of your neck. Pretty convenient, if you ask me.

The headset connects wirelessly to phones and other Bluetooth-enabled devices, including MP3 players and notebook computers. For those who listen to music at their desk during the day, with this headset, you don't have to worry about being connected via a two-foot cord. This innovative device provides hands-free calling and more. It's great for gym workouts too.
