Nokia Purity Pro by Monster review

Headphones like the Nokia Purity Pro Stereo Headset by Monster don't come along every day. At $349.99, this advanced pair of headphones is expensive but nets a long list of advanced mobile audio technologies. The result of a partnership between mobile...

The Nokia Purity Pro by Monster headphones are light, compact, have long battery life, and provide well-balanced audio.

While the Nokia Purity Pro is sophisticated, it lacks a companion app and is crafted from plastic not metal.

For smartphone owners who crave both active noise canceling and Bluetooth wireless audio, the Nokia Purity Pro by Monster is worth its steep price.

Excellent excellent headphones

If you want the best sound quality, ability to bluetooth with your devices, and comfortable and colorful cans that deliver, these are the headphones for you.

Both the noise cancelling and bluetooth, with a nice lineup of different colors

Nothing - this is a great set of cans

"Disappointed"

I decide to return these. If you primarily want a wireless headphone with really good sound then you will be happy. I couldn't look past the poor noise cancellation and discomfort for the price.

The music quality is probably what's best about the headphones. I also agree that the Near Field Tech(NFT) which allows easy syncing with bluetooth devices works really well. Having them turn off and on just by putting them on is also nice.

The noise canceling was below average. The size can be adjusted but when I enlarged them the ear pads would slide down past my ears. Also the band that rests on your head was uncomfortable and I found myself needing to adjust them frequently.

Incredible Sound Great Battery and Awesome Multi-tasker

I love these headphones. I bartered overtime with my boss for them ($350 for headphones? Please... I don't spend that on a suit), and they are incredible. I can work wherever without be distracted, listen to music, and answer phonecalls. It's a...

Easy to setup Better than expected sound Fast switching between computer and smartphone

Plastic Bluetooth Fluctuations when paired to two devices Noise Cancelling Mic is "too" noise cancelling.

Love the design and music quality!

Music quality is awesome, brilliant colors, super convenient with the automatic power on/off as well as sensor based active noise cancellation when wearing the headset. Purity Pro also works using the audio cable.

Nothing really...
