Design:
The Sony Ericcson MW600 is almost unnoticeable to use. It’s small and lightweight, weighing in at only 13g. If you try to visualize the MW600, it’s about 2 inches in length and not much thicker than a ball point pen. The front face of the device sports an OLED display, one side holds a rocker switch for music control and navigation while the opposite side has a touch sensitive volume slider. Sliding your finger in either direction along the strip increases or decreases the volume accordingly. Similar to many other wireless Bluetooth devices in this category, the end of the device has a 3.5mm headphone socket to plug in the provided headphones or other headphones of your own choosing. On one end of the device there is a USB port used for charging as well as a dedicated power button. The rear of the device has an alligator clip design clip-on system to easily attached to your shirt or jacket.

Performance:
An area that sometimes gets neglected in a device of this type is the actual quality of the voice calls when you’re using your phone through the headset. I’m pleased to say that the call quality from this headset is simply awesome. Calls are crystal clear and people I spoke to all said that I was loud and clear from my end. The MW600 can be paired with two handsets simultaneously and is rated as providing up to 10 hours of continuous play time. I didn’t have a chance to prove this, but I had the device playing for almost five hours and it was still going strong.
Music streaming from my Pandora queue was played with ease and the quality again was excellent and worthy of a five star rating from me.
The RDS feature of the built in radio was nice, displaying information about the music station your listening to and the songs being played is a nice feature for any radio, let alone in such a small device.

Conclusion:
Is the MW600 worth the $60 or so (cheaper if you hunt) it costs? I’d say that’s a Yes. Being able to lounge out in the yard with my phone inside the house and not have to worry about where it is, is nice. Phone calls effortlessly answered with the touch of a button and my music muted is just plain easy on the brain. Much easier than having to go hunting for your phone and then heading over to the stereo unit to turn down your music so you can chat with the person on the other end of the phone.
