The standby/talk time is very poor. Wait for the HBH-600. It's much better.

Even the HBH-600, with its better power management (of the same battery as the
HBH-65), falls short of the standby/talk time of the old HBH-30.

In addition, the noise-canceling boom mike on the HBH-30 gives much better
outgoing sound quality in noisy environments (e.g., outside in town, or in a
typical moving car). I've even gotten good results with the HBH-30 while
sailboat racing, where the wind renders unusable cell phones and headsets that
don't have noise canceling.

So while I might well choose the HBH-600 for quiet indoor environments (e.g.,
typical quiet office), my all-around favorite is still the HBH-30.

Cheers for the feedback.

I plan on using the headset mainly in my car. Standby-time and talk-times
are important, but as I'll get a car charger it shouldn't be a problem. I
like the "short" design of the HBH-65 better than that of the HBH-30 as
well. Hmm, sounds like I already made up my mind If I get a good price
for the HBH-30, I might consider it tho.

Note that HBH-30 has been discontinued for a couple of time and
superseded by HBH-35, afaik. But except colour change I cannot
make out much difference.
