Editorial Reviews:

  • An OLED display shows the caller's name while a voice announces it. So you can continue to focus on the road while handling calls.Exceptional talk and standby times plus exceptional audio quality mean long, clear conversations in the car or wherever you use the HCB-150.

  • Summary: Doesn't Live Up to Expectations
  • Comment: I have an LG Dare, so I take some blame for trying to use a non-Sony Ericson with the HCB-150, but I really tried to make this speakerphone work for me.

    Positives:
    - OLED alphanumeric display
    - Voice that speaks contacts when calling out, when I get a call, etc.
    - Good speaker and reception

    Negatives:
    - Occasionally drops connection with my phone which is on my waist about 3 feet away
    - Many times I can't turn it on with holding down on the on button. Sometimes holding the reset (push both hang-up and send key) helps but not all the time.
    - It rarely turn on in the hot car.
    - My phone has a GPS feature which I use the HCB-150 to listen to directions but it drops the connection when the phone is not saying anything.

    It would have been a really cool product if it worked better on my phone, but then again, it wasn't made for my phone.

  • Summary: Works Great With Sony Ericcson W760a
  • Comment: I love the Sony Ericcson HCB-150. It works great with my cellphone.(Sony Ericcson W760a) It was easy to set up and operation is relatively simple. It looks attractive on my car's sun visor and the sound is crystal clear.

  • Summary: Very Good, but Not Great and maybe some minor bugs
  • Comment: I purchased this several months ago after I returned a BlueAnt Supertooth3 (which had a great speaker, but people couldn't hear me... , though my brother's works well, so I may have gotten a lemon).

    The HCB150 looks great, has a great speaker, and generally has a good microphone. However, I have had some annoying intermittent issues.

    1. Sometimes without warning the blue tooth connection is dropped. Which can be a pain if you don't notice it... and continue talking to nobody for a minute or two(my phone keeps the call active, I just have to pick up the phone again). However, I'm not sure if this issue is caused by my phone dropping the blue tooth connection, or the HCB-150 dropping the connection.

    2. Randomly the keys seem to lock-up (i.e. I press the button to end the call, and nothing happens, the call stays connected no matter how many times I press the button or how long I hold the button. This is annoying, but you can always kill the call on your cell phone.... some other keys have seemed to lock up on me as well)

    Overall the sound quality of the speaker has been great, my friends tell me that my connection is generally very clear (a few cases where it was fuzzy). The ability to "scroll" through multiple phones is great. My wife can quickly pair her phone to the device while I'm driving, or visa versa.

    The annoyances have been minor, but are large enough for me to drop this from 5 stars to 4 stars.

  • Summary: Sony Ericsson
  • Comment: Overall this is an outstanding product. Quite simple to set up with my iphone 3G, great noise suppression and nice aesthetic design.

    I would have rated this as a five star product, but this device is not packages with an electric charger (optional). As the package insert indicated it took several hours to charge with the provided cigarette lighter cable.
