Htcpedia review:
After using both the Sound ID 200 and Sound ID 300 I found that there really wasn’t much difference in both of these headsets. The shape in design is identical and they both have the same dimensions (2.1 inches long by 0.6 inch wide by 0.3 inch thick) and both weigh the same (about 8 grams). The 300 however has a glossy black finish where the 200 has a blue, rubber type coating. They both have a status LED which can either be red or green, but the 300 has the LED on the inside of the black casing and the 200 has it on the outside.
On the top of both units sits a thin multifunction button which is used to answer/end calls and a small volume control button which is located on the side. Pressing these buttons alone or simultaneously to increase/decrease sound, mute/un-mute, reject calls, last number redial and answering call waiting are both done in the same manner.
The construction, design and contents of the packaging are the same; they both include the headset, Micro-USB cable, AC wall charger, 3 different size ear buds, 1 ear hook, and quick start guide/user manual.
Both the 300 and 200 have the same comfortable ear pieces that are easy to adjust and I found will stay put no matter how much I turned my head. All earpieces are also designed for the right or left ear.
Talk time for both are 6 hours with a standby time of up to 9 days (220 hours). Both will also take about 2.5 hours to fully charge.
Both headsets provide NoiseNavigation, dual microphones and automatic volume control to optimize speech and eliminate background noise. The 300 however has an exclusive feature called “PersonalSound,” which is used to improve sound clarity by adjusting frequency and pitch. There are three settings where the higher the selection, the more the voice is supposed to stand out from any background noise that may be present.
Overall, I liked both the Sound ID 200 and 300; they were both comfortable, easy to pair and the sound quality on both ends was very good even when used in noisy and windy environments. The NoiseNavigation feature on both units worked extremely well where when it was turned off; the background noise became much more apparent. The PersonalSound feature which is the only difference that I could find between the 200 and the 300 did give some additional improvements, but when it was set at its highest level, voices sounded tinny and robotic. I thought that even when it was set at its lowest level or in the case of the 200 where it wasn’t used, the sound was quite good. My callers for could not tell the difference between the two headsets and essentially thought that I sounded good.
The Sound ID 300 will cost you about $10.00 more than the Sound ID 200.
