Exclusive and stylish, Akono Headset HBH-662 is the perfect Bluetooth headset for people with high demands on design, but who don’t want to compromise comfort.

The ear loop is flexible enough to fit most ears and sturdy enough to make the headset stay in place even when you’re in motion. You can leave your phone in a pocket or a bag and handle all your calls through the easy-to-use buttons on the headset.

Or you can use the strap that’s included in the kit to carry your headset around your neck. But best of all – the HBH-662 has an Info Display for easier call handling. When the phone rings, you just check the Info Display to see who is calling, and decide whether you want to take or reject the call.

Like Bluetake, the HBH-662 plants the speaker wedge above the ear canal, but Sony Ericsson’s softer design took more time to become annoyingly uncomfortable. The HBH-662 is only a pinch larger and heavier than the Plantronics, but opts for a Volume rocker on the bottom. We found it hard to tell + from – during use. There is a Multifunction button and an eight-character LCD display on the side that shows Caller ID notifications and battery status.

The LCD is what differentiates this unit from its competitors. Functionally, the voice dialing, call transferring, and other features are practically identical.

The HBH-662 easily delivered the finest sound out of the five headsets tested. Even at maximum range, we observed almost no increase in noise or decrease in voice quality. Maximum volume is a bit weak, and the noise cancelation in our wind and music tests was average at best. Talk time was a comparatively disappointing 3 hours and 25 mintues, and the unit issued a single warning beep before starting to drop connections.

The Sony Ericsson Akono HBH-662 has a street price for around ~$70 USD which places it ideally in the upper-middle class of Bluetooth headsets.  We reviewed this set with two mobile phones, the Treo 650 and the Motorola RAZR V3.  In the past the Motorola ? which is Bluetooth 1.2 enabled has been the easiest to match with any of the headsets reviewed here at Legit.  The Treo 650 (Bluetooth 1.1) on the other hand is one that is very selective and doesn?t play well with all BT enabled headsets.
