Nokia BH-905i Bluetooth Headset (Black)

While we love the idea of cord-free portable music, stereo Bluetooth headsets are often maligned with poor quality audio. Or at least, that's how it was in the past. Nowadays you can find stereo Bluetooth headsets with excellent sound quality, rivaling...

The Nokia BH-905 has a comfortable design, very good noise canceling, excellent audio quality, and it comes with an array of audio connections in case your device does not have stereo Bluetooth.

The active noise canceling on the Nokia BH-905 can take a second or two to activate. It's also very expensive.

In terms of audio quality and comfort, the Nokia BH-905 is certainly one of the best stereo Bluetooth headsets out there.

Nokia BH-905i review: perfect sound comes at a price

In the world of bluetooth stereo headsets Nokia is the leader of the pack. Their latest endeavor, the BH-905i, packs all of the features you'd expect from a top of the line bluetooth stereo headset. If you can stomach the price, you'll be the proud...

Nokia has hit a home run with the BH-905is. The stereo bluetooth headset delivers on the promise of premium sound and features all of the cutting-edge technology you’d expect from a flagship product. Whether you are using a Bluetooth connection or a...

"Good quality, but bluetooth is spotty"

This is a nice set of headphones --just what I was looking for, in terms of getting a set of phones that I wouldn't need to plug in every time I wanted to listen to something on my laptop. The first connection was a pain, but I finally did get it...

Good quality sound.

Each time you sleep the computer, the driver reverts to mono sound at a very low rate. You must remove the drivers and reinstall them to get it back to stereo quality.

"Amazing headphones."

I bought these in July 2010 and a year and a half later these are still going strong. Extremely durable and well worth the $240 I spent on this. I use them at the gym and even though they look like they may fall off your head they don't.

Great battery life. ANC is good and works well. Great for making phone calls and music/podcasts and other media. Very comfortable, great design.

The headphones have froze several times. Once I found out how to reset them it wasn't a big deal. Other than that there are absolutely no cons on these amazing headphones maybe a way to see remaining battery life would be nice.

"poor quality - music stops after a few minutes"

I would not recomend this - bummer - I really want a good headset & I've blown my $$ on the wrong one..:(

I have owned several blue tooth over the ear headsets, I work in noisy environments & like them at the gym also.

This Nokia has been a real disapointment no matter the price. While listening to music or watching Netflix from my I-Phone the audio will suddenly stop and I have to power cycle the thing to get it back. The odd part is that this doesn't happen to my phon

"best headphones ever"

Completely disagree with last review. The active noise cancellation is meant to cancel out low frequency noises like when you are on a flight. I got these in nokia store in chicago this weekend. Got on airplane tonight and when I turned on the noise...

-as good or better noise cancellation than my bose

-bluetooth still limited compared to wired in terms of music quality

Nokia BH-905i review

The Nokia BH-905i isn't the cheapest set of Bluetooth headphones on the market, but it's decent audio performance and noise-cancellation circuitry makes them perfect for long-haul flights.

If you just want a set of Bluetooth headphones for ordinary day-to-day use then there are cheaper options that provide comparable audio quality. However, the noise-cancelling features of the BH-905is and their extensive set of accessories make them a...
