Sony DR-BT22 Wireless Bluetooth Headset

Sony DR-BT22 Wireless Bluetooth Headset

Rohan Naravane, Apr 07, 2008 1257 hrs IST

This headset's got simple styling, and sounds good too. But is it worth your greens?

Comfortable fit (even over prolonged periods), good sound quality, easy-to-use controls on the unit, good battery life

A little expensive, build quality leaves something to be desired

Design and Construction

The design of the DR-BT22, which is black, doesn't depart much from that of traditional Sony headphones. It's simple. Most would agree that the set looks good.



The power button, the microphone, and the phone-specific function key (to accept calls or activate voice dialing) are on the right


The buttons are pretty tactile, and they're easy to use when the set is worn around the head.



The Next/Previous song jog dial -- and the volume control -- lie to the right end of the headset. The jog dial can be clicked to play and pause the current track


I found that I couldn't go forward or back within a song by holding the jog dial in either direction.

Speaking of wearing it around the head, the headset fits well, and is comfortable even for long listening sessions. On the other hand, it doesn't fit as securely as does Motorola's S9 headset; I doubt whether it would stay in position if you are, say, exercising.



The headset has two hinges that allow it to fold so you can conveniently place it in a bag. There's no carry pouch provided in the package, though


The build quality isn't as good as I'd have liked. The Moto S9 can be twisted and thrown around without thinking about it too much; this one will need a little care if you're carrying it around.
