[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adebayo88:
I have the MW600 and just ordered the SBH20 (should have it by next week :) )......Just wanted to give my thoughts/opinions as well:

For the MW600:

PROS

- I like the MW600, the music quality is pretty good.

- FM radio is handy (I barely use it though),

- The screen is useful even though you wont see it when its clipped to your shirt lol..

- I like that you can pair w/ up to 3 devices (i believe that 3 is the limit)

- You can voice dial (you cannot make calls with the SBH50....you can answer calls but cannot make them)

CONS

- The call button is not that responsive. Buggy and works about 70% of the time. Every once in awhile it will stay in "listening" mode, waiting for me to say something when I am already done talking. I end up restarting the BT headset.

- Adjusting the volume is weird and difficult to use because it is not a physical volume button but a capacitive touch button. You have to place/slide your finger on it just right to change the volume. Very annoying.

- The clip on my MW600 broke unexpectedly...twice!.... This is actually my second mw600. The first one, the clip broke altogether. The second one (my current one) the metal spring that allows the clip to squeeze, popped out and I lost it. So now i cannot clip it to anything.

- Call quality (when the caller is listening to me) is really bad at times. I find myself switching to using my phone in the middle of a call because they cannot hear me. (when i switch the call to my phone, they can hear me a lot clearer)

- Theres a delay in playing/ pausing/ skipping music.

The reason I'm going to try the SBH20 is:

- The clip is seemingly more sturdier (one metal piece on the SHB50 as opposed to two plastic pieces on the MW600. the more parts you have, the more likely it may break)

- The clip is also rotatable, which means that you have more options of where to clip it on your shirt. (very limited on the MW600)

- The sound and call quality should be better. Since it is newer with newer technology i assume it will be better than it's predecessor. (HD Voice compatible according to the Sony site) I also uses newer BT firmware (version 3.0 vs 2.1)

- It has NFC so i dont have to worry about putting in a code to pair my BT headset with my phone.

- The MW600 is outdated and not supported by Sony anymore. Customer service will not be able to help you troubleshoot problems.

- Its about 1 gram lighter than the mw600

PERSONAL NOTES about the SBH50:

- Battery life advertised is as 6hr compared to 8.5hr on the MW600 but i dont think that will be a problem

- Don't care that it doesn't have a screen because i never really look at it as it is always clipped to my shirt, right under my jaw.

- It is said that there is no way of activating a call (aka voice dial) with the SBH50 but you can with the MW600...but for me it shouldnt be a problem because i always end up picking up my phone anyway. (You can ANSWER a call but you cant MAKE a call using the SHB 50 alone.)

I am only hoping the SBH50 will solve some, hopefully all of these problems. I do not have it yet and will hopefully remember to update this when i have had some time with it.

Hope this helps :)
