If you are tired of the stares you get while wearing a typical Bluetooth headset, perhaps a compromise between high-tech and the traditional wired headset is in order. This is what the Nokia HS-3W offers. Check out our

Nokia HS-3 Fashion Stereo Headset

Have had this headset for about 3 weeks now. Would like the volume to be better. Even max. volume is not very high. And bass response could be better. But construction quality is top-notch and great for such a cheap price. Looks very stylish too. Only...

Beautiful headset; very stylish. Good price

Sponge foam on ear buds very thin. Tears easily while slipping onto buds. Volume not very great. Loudest setting on my Nokia 6230 is not very loud

Nokia HS-3 Fashion Stereo Headset

The headset initially worked great with my Nokia phone. The Answer end button was nice and handy and quality of music was good. However, after only two weeks, the headset no longer works. The price was cheap enough that I will probably try again before...

Very nice and handy. Wanted black since hands tend to be grimy

Quit working after only 2 weeks

Nokia HS-3W Headset

Excelent idea. Better than having a big thing hangging in your ear all the time just to be used a couple of hours a day. The base station should be much smaller, enough to clip it in your shirt's collar, or pocket.

You do not have it stuck in your ear when not in use, like normal bluetooth hedsets

Base radio station too big

Bluetooth headset Nokia HS-3W

Nokia is a novice in a bluetooth-headset market but that doesn't prevent it from creating interesting products. And HS-3W headset is one of those solutions. Its target group is a business audience and those who prefer not to wear a headset permanently....

The headset supports protocol bluetooth 1.1 and such profiles as headset and handsfree. Up to 8 coupled phones may be kept in the memory (a key for coupling goes with the headset written on a separate piece of paper) and the first registered phone...
