If everyone is talking about your just released super-duper (and lower end) models, why not use the moment to have a few accessories also announced? By few, we mean three new headsets and one car accessory kit.
HBH-GV435 is a behind-the-ear style, discreetly hiding most of the device. During out testing of headsets, we came to the conclusion that this particular style of headset are the most comfortable to wear for prolonged periods of time. DSP should help increase the sound clarity and automatically adjusts the volume depending on surroundings. Bluetooth 2.0 support also should guarantee the best and most stable link between the headset and the phone possible.
HBH-GV435The rated talk time is 8 hours, with about 300 hours (12 days) of stand-by. Not one of the lightest headsets our there, the HBH-GV435 is about 0.63 oz (18g).
HBH-IV835 also features DSP and Bluetooth 2.0, but in the in-the-ear push-in style. The gripe we have with such headsets is that they are not comfortable to wear for very long. Short conversations are fine, but since your ear canal has to hold the headset in place, it gets irritated very fast.
Because of its smaller size and weight (0.35oz or 10g), the talk time is only 3.5 hours, with up to 160 hours of stand-by.
HBH-IV835HBH-PV705 is an entry level (no DSP), clip-on headset. It offers 12 hours of talk time, with 300 hours of stand-by.

HCB-100 is a visor's mounted car bluetooth speakerphone. It will offer 20 hours of talk time and up to 600 hours of stand-by. The unit has a small boom on its side which can be flipped down for increased outgoing sound quality. Because of its contemporary design, the speakerphone can be as well used in the office.
