Even before the Sony Stereo Bluetooth Headset SBH54 hits the market, the OEM has already released its companion app on Google Play Store. As to why is unclear at the moment, since you probably won’t be able to properly use the app anyways. But most likely, this is to hype up the imminent release of the new headset, which can also double as a “mini phone” as the description in the GPS page says.

The newest Bluetooth headset was unveiled at the IFA a few months ago, and it is an updated version of the popular Smart Bluetooth Handset SBH52. The main difference is that the new one has a handset function so you can use it to make and take calls. It is also crafted from “premium metal” and aside from the usual features that a Bluetooth headset has, it also has an FM Radio, NFC connectivity, and a splash-proof design, so your sweat won’t slowly corrode it. It can also cancel out echo, wind, and noise so you can listen to your music better or have better quality calls. It will supposedly last for five hours talk time but will just take an hour to charge.

As for the app, released even before the actual headset, you will be able to customize the notifications you want to receive on your headset’s controller, including emails, messages, calendar appointments, etc. You can also adjust the vibration settings as well as the privacy controls. There is also an interactive headset tutorial, in case you need it.

The app for the Sony Stereo Bluetooth Headset SBH54 is now available on the Google Play Store. As for the actual headset, it is expected to hit the market sometime this month, with price estimated to be at around $107.

  1. I have the Sony sbh 52 for a long time and it can also perform as a Bluetooth handset for calls if you remove the headphones
