I was wondering as it seems to be a model that takes the best from the 30 & 60 but looks great in black.

I have one, but how does it take the best from either of its 2 predecessors? The HBH-30 has longer battery time then the HBH-60, but the HBH-60 scracifies that for shorter length and lighter weight. With that said I don't find the HBH-35 any lighter or shorter then the HBH-60. The only profile its taken from it is the color. However, color is far from the best feature of the HBH-60. And as far as the HBH-30 there is no real added difference besides the color. I never had clarity issue with the other 2 so I don't notice any difference with that one. I only got the HBH-35 just because I could do it for free.

Oh, I thought it had better mic reception than the 60 & longer talk time than the 30. I like it in black though.

Just a good old fashsion marketing strategy to get people to buy it. It hasn't replaced the HBH-60 so it's literally is just a facelift for the HBH-30. They have to change the model # by law if they tweak anything in a released product.

I didn't notice any difference in reception. I have not had a complaint with my HBH-60 which I use with the P800. I use the HBH-35 with my T68i, but I have tried it with the P800. Still no difference. But it stills weighs too heavy on the ears. Quality of either one is still superior to that garbage Nokia BT headset even though it lokos better then any SE headset.

So IYHO is it the best headset? I'm thinking of getting one but it's a bit pricey at the mo' so i'll wait. 😉
