Great sound quality

I would buy again. After buying Sennheiser earbuds I finally realized how good Nokia BH-505 headset is. The price is a steal for the quality of the sound. The easiness of wireless bluetooth with NFC is of course a big bonus.

Excellent sound and construction quality. Especially the lows are great. Different instruments are separable and sounds are very natural. Beats Sennheiser CX 300-II Precision earbuds by miles. (Both bought from Newegg). NFC pairing is a bless with...

Egg off from annoying noise coming from head phone movement if running with these. The arch in the back of your head does not work for me that well

Consumer review (productreview.com.au)

I would say, Good. Not great but not terrible either.

These things look like they would only fit an aliens head, which in part is true. I have a huge noggin' so it works well enought for what i want it for. I have used them in my car for 7 straight hours, without a drop out. They stream music from my...

Price, Multiple ear bud adaptors, decent quality audio streaming and multiple buttons for media control

A bit heavy and bulky at the rear (you cant lean back on anything but it does clear my car's head rest), you need a big head.

The worst thing I have ever bought, period.

After seeing glowing reviews online, I thought this headset was a safe bet to replace the standard Nokia corded headphones for listening to music and answering calls while walking to and from work. After trying it for one day, I took great pleasure in...

Bluetooth and microphone too weak to make the product usable. Fragile and uncomfortable.
