Excellent Upgrade

I upgraded to this headset from a HBH-GV435 that I had for over two years before it died. Good battery life, noise cancellation is good, the over ear clip and the base charger were nice accessories. Very confortable and light.

Great Headset

The Sony Ericsson HBH-PV740 Bluetooth Headset is an excellent product. The sound is clear on both ends of the phone call. Noise canceling works great even in extremely loud environments (auto shop). Also fits comfortably and snugly in the ear with no...

Sony Ericsson HBH-PV740 Bluetooth headset

A slight upgrade to the cheaper Sony Ericsson HBH-PV715 Bluetooth headset, the HBH-PV740 adds a small monochrome display and includes a stylish deskto...

Nice design, monochrome display, desktop charging stand included

Incoming audio could be improved, a little expensive

The Sony Ericsson HBH-PV740 Bluetooth headset certainly looks the part and the monochrome display is handy, but we expected better call quality at this price.

Sony Ericsson HBH-PV740

It certainly looks the part, but this hands-free headset from Sony Ericsson struggles to give us what we want most — clear call quality.

Sleek unit and accessories ; Simple auto pairing

Overall The HBH-PV740 is a decent looking headset, but it hasn't blown us away with crystal clear performance or a wealth of features. We appreciate how easy this headset is to use, but to be fair, most Bluetooth headsets we review are this easy to use...

Headset could be improved

THE Sony HBH-PV740 adds a small monochrome display and includes a stylish desktop charging stand.

In addition to regular call-handling functions, the Sony Ericsson HBH-PV740 allows you to redial the last called number, transfer the sound from the headset to your phone and vice versa, and activate voice dialling - provided this feature is supported...

superior bluetooth

This is by far the best bluetooth headset I have ever had. Connects to phone straight away and doesn't keep disconnecting itself unlike my last motorola headset. Battery indicator is a huge help, it has always infuriated me thatyou never know how much...

HBH-pv740

Unfortunatly after a few days my original HBH-pv740 developed a fault. the ear piece came away from the main body. It was replaced under warranty with no fuse. Battery life seems very good, and sound is very clear.
