Strengths: Excellent voice reception, Snug fit around the ear, Long battery life
Weaknesses: I have a motorola v551. The headset Drops connection when a call terminates from the other party. It can however be reestablished by just a click on the power on button.
Summary: I used a jabra bt250 previously and every one complained the voice pickup was weak. It picks up too much white noise , for example when running the ac or the heat inside the car or whle driving even with the windows closed. The sony hbh 608 has none of the problems. Ofcourse dont expect crystal clear conversation when talking in windy outdoors. The noise cancellation inside the car even with the fan on is excellent. I would recomment this over any other bluetooth accessory.

Strengths: Stylish, sleek, small size, comfortable, lightweight, clear sound
Weaknesses: None so far
Summary: I have been using this headset for more than a month and I found it to be the best in other compartitive sets in the market. Good price value, excellent performance and elegant looks results in a small lightweight wonder in its category.

Strengths: great sound quality, light weight
Weaknesses: None so far
Summary: I realy like this Sony Ericsson bluetooth wireless headset, because of its great sound quality, light weight and sleek design. The sound is always loud and clear especially in the areas where I have had problems with other headsets. The weight is another advantage of this headset because its so light it almost makes you forget you are wearing it.

Strengths: Good sound volume, noise cancelation and the people I called said it sounded great
Weaknesses: Unconfortable and manual could be a lot better
Summary: I had read other reviews on headsets prior to purchasing the HBH608. It got much better ratings than units costing much more. I used a Jabra BT200 prior to this headset. The Jabra has an ear piece that fits inside the ear. This unit has a large speaker that rests near your ear. This means you can listen to the car radio or another person with both ears.
The battery life is great. I use the headset with a Treo 650 and it was easy to make the initial connection. I use the headset mostly in my car. When I talked to my wife she said that she did head an car noise.
The weaknesses I see is that the manual is mostly pictures and with very few words. I have a large ear and I find that after about 20 minutes it is uncomfortable and I have to change the ear I am using.

Strengths: Looks great, good battery life, easy to use, sound clarity, sound volume
Weaknesses: Manual is skimpy, a little tricky to position
Summary: This is the second bluetooth headset that I've tried and I'm sticking with this one. My priorities are sound quality of the speaker and microphone - both are excellent on this unit. I highly recommend it. The weaknesses I listed are minor and about all I could think of. Definately worth the asking price for the Sony HBH-608.

Strengths: It was recommended by this really hot girl at the store I entered, and I was able to purchase on the internet for a very reasonable price.
Weaknesses: None so far
Summary: Where I notice everyone at my new job almost exclusively using motorola products, I was surprised to hear the hot girl at the store recommend this little guy. I have always been a big fan of Sony products (over 85% of my electronics are Sony) I just didn't know they had bluetooth devices such as this little wonder. Sony never lets me down!!!!!

 My conversations while using the akono are filled ... Strengths: Looks cool and unique. Different from all the motorola units i see everyday. comfortable. light.
Weaknesses: Poor bluetooth connection, poor sound quality, ear hook easily falls off.
Summary: My conversations while using the akono are filled with "Say what?" "Repeat that" "Come again?" from both sides. Also, when i keep my phone in my left pocket and have the unit on my right ear, i hear mad static or i lose the bluetooth connection completely! I have to keep both the headset and earpiece on the same side of my body! And while wearing it around my neck, i noticed 1 day the earhook was gone. SonyEricsson replace it for free though. On the good side, it looks really cool, i've gotten many compliments. It's very light and comfortable. But for the price i paid and all the negative aspects, i can't recommend the akono to any1. That's my 2 cents-

Strengths: Good signal strength, zero noise interference, Good reception, Easy to use, Battery life excellent
Weaknesses: The ear piece is a little bit uncomfortable after a couple of hours.
Summary: The headset is very good. I can not ask for any better performance from a headset. I use it with a W600i so I can not speak for the performance on any other cells, but it is excellent with the W600i. I have no complaints other than the one I am about to state.
The ear piece is to tight on my ear and after a short period of time, I have to place in the other ear. I can live with this, because the performance is the best. Sony needs to make the ear piece adjustable for different persons and make the piece which goes around the ear out of a softer material.
I would recommend this unit to everyone with bluetooth technology.

Eh.....
Strengths: Battery life, easy pairing
Weaknesses: not well contoured for being in the ear. Flaky reception.
Summary: I like that it's very slim and sleek, but trying to put it in your ear can sometimes really hurt since it has the little hoop on the edge that you can attach the lanyard to. I have a treo 650 and anytime I'm on a call it gets nill reception. I can barely walk to the other side of my room which is about 6 feet and it gets a ton of static.

Strengths: looks flimsy, but slick
Weaknesses: none
Summary: i like Sony technology. I was thinking about the Jabra 50, but I like to stick to Sony technology when it comes to quality, it's hard to beat Sony.
