I've been shopping online for at least a decade. I have rarely bothered to write a review for a product but instead rely on reviews for nearly every single purchase I make. This is my first pair of headphones that cost more than $20, and I got them for a major steal on eBay, brand new. However, I used amazon reviews to make my decision and would like to help out the community with an unbiased review. This will be a long review, and I'm going to try and sum up actual daily usage so people can get a good idea of what to expect since these are expensive.I've used these on a daily basis, on either an NYC Train, Bus, and walking around Manhattan and other boroughs for the noisiest parts of this review. All I can say is that the Noise canceling gets the job done. No matter where I am, I feel cut off from the outside world. If you put on the Noise canceling while standing next to a loud air conditioner or fan, I would say the sound heard by that object drops by roughly 70%. Once music is on, the music is all I hear. I don't know if it just drowns out the sound or somehow the microphones can distinguish from the music and outside noise, but to me not hearing anything on the subway is great. New Yorkers - I'm talking about when the subway starts grinding and shrieking when it makes a turn or hits that same part of the track on the daily commute where the volume of noise doubles or triples because the track is so old. I don't hear any of it. Also, I watch TV shows on my phone while commuting and that is probably the only time where the noise cancellation may feel slightly disappointing. It is still easy to listen and you won't miss anything, but you start to hear some of the deeper loud sounds such as truck engines when watching TV and there is no chat/background music in a scene. All of my friends who have tried the headphones love them and want a pair.The bluetooth is reliable and effective. I have an HTC Evo, desktop running vista (too lazy to upgrade to 7), and PS3 for bluetooth activity. I bought the amazon recommended Io bluetooth usb for like $10 give or take, and I think it was worth it. If I turn on the bluetooth, my computer automatically detects it, as does my phone, every time since I paired it the first time. On my phone there is a slight out-of-sync audio (half a second to one second) when watching Tv shows and the audio is slightly behind. This is more likely a limitation of my phone (which does not occur with wired listening), because I do not have this problem while watching video from the pc. I VERY rarely, maybe once every few uses, hear a skip or stutter with tbe BT for a second. If you are a perfectionist that might be disappointing, but I can't imagine it actually bothering anybody because it is so short and infrequent, but I just want to set proper expectations.As a student, noise bothers me while studying. I've kept the headphones on with the noise cancellation just to quiet down the surroundings in the school library or sometimes around the house. It is true that there is a slight hiss, kind of like when your ears are ringing but nowhere near as loud. Even though you can hear some sounds from something right in front of you, it feels far away. It may be a personal thing, but it really helps me focus on my work without being distracted.For hands free talking.. it works well. Call quality? Voice quality? My friends didn't know I was on a headset when using it, and I heard everything clearly. With NC on you can hear more in noisy situations than with probably any other hands free solution because they are typically cheap with a mic and don't block any outside noise.I love the rechargeable battery, and it is yet to die on me while always having NC and BT on. I charge every two days when actively using them during the week. Micro USB would be good for charging as someone else mentioned instead of Nokia proprietary, but it hasn't come to the point where I've actually needed it because I couldn't get to my regular charger in time. The design feels sturdy and of premium build like they have been made to last. You can visibly (on the interior) see small screws to unscrew the earpieces, so if the headband breaks it may be possible to get a replacement piece from Nokia, although that is not something I have researched. The ear cushions are comfortable and again feel like they are of high quality. I've worn these for 3 hours at a time and felt uncomfortable once or twice, but after taking them off for a minute and putting them back on there was no problem. There is a huge range in which you can place these on your ear, including horizontal and vertical axis for the ear cushions alone, with height for the headband. The functional keys on the right side are convenient when you have a playlist and know what song is coming, just don't care, or for a quick pause and I can leave my phone in my pocket. The bass boost has a good presence and it isn't weak like I expected it to be as opposed to earphones. I'm n

I figure I'd give my 2cents on these headphones, even though they are so many reviews... maybe you chose to check out the newest first. Here goes:The headphones themselves are really nice. You can tell where your money went. They are sturdy, seemingly comfortable, and elegant. That being said, I ran into some deal breaking problems that swayed me to return them.Pros:-The sound quality is good. Not amazing like other reviews will lead you to believe. I listen to a good amount of music, I'm "almost" an audiofile. If you have a compatible device, the bass booster and stereo widening are noticeably nice.-Bluetooth connectivity is also good. Not great. I have drop outs, especially with my Iphone 4. It feels like a line of sight thing. I can place these things far away from me, like 20 feet with no drop out or quality deterioration. But while their in my pocket and I'm walking... I get drop outs. Frustrating. But having no wires is nice.-ANC is good. Again, not amazing. When you turn it on, you'll be blown away. But after use, you realize it only cancels out constant ambient noise.Cons:-It's probably just me, but after 45 minutes of wearing them... my right ear kills me. If you have irregular ears (which I don't really... but I guess my right is slightly larger)... I'd watch out for some pain.-Bluetooth drop outs sometimes.-ANC does not function properly on bumpy rides and doesn't cancel everything. I live in New York City. I take these headphones on the bus and the train. The bus is where the bumpiness comes in. Assuming my headphones aren't defective - the ANC works well until you ride on bad NYC streets. As the headphones roll with your bumps, the ANC wavers...distorting the music. Almost oscillating your music. With the ANC off, the effect does not occur.I used to wear the $80 Klipsh S4 headphone buds. They rule. I can't wait to go back to them. The seal created in your ear from the buds is much better than the ANC on the Nokias. Wearing the Nokias - I heard things on the subway I've never heard before as my Klipsch's are better at canceling the noise. The ANC is far from perfect. Cool, but not ideal. The quality on my buds feel better than the Nokias... I was unimpressed truthfully. And one last thing, they Nokias can't get quite loud enough. I'm always wishing they could be a little louder.Overall - I'd say if you're looking for bluetooth headphones, these are the best out there. If you'd settle for wires - there are much better purchases. And if you don't want to spend $300... I highly recommend these: http://www.amazon.com/Klipsch-IMAGE-S4-Noise-Isolating-Headphones/dp/B001V9LPT4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1340232188&sr=8-1&keywords=klipsch+S4

I posted this review for the Sennheiser MM550, but since I compared it with the Nokia BH905I I thought I would post it here too. Most of it applies to the Sennheiser, but the Nokia wins by a mile. I will keep the Nokia and be glad I purchased it. It is worth every penny!RE: Sennheiser MM550First the good: (re: Sennheiser MM550)I wanted a bluetooth headset that I could use with my phone for music and making calls. This unit does that very well. The music reproduction is strong in the midranges, but tinny in the treble and muffled in the bass. Turning on the SRS function improved the sound significantly. No complaints from callers about hearing my voice, and I could hear them very clearly. With my droid phone I was able to control volume easily. For music playback you have track skip capability right from the headset. Using the android vlingo voice app I had full voice control of my phone. I REALLY wanted to like this headset. But....Now the not so good (re: Sennheiser MM550)The Sennheiser headset is on the small side of compact. The ear cups are not suited well for adult sized ears and were too tight. The headband fully extended was still very tight on my slightly larger than normal sized head. The unit has a lot of cheap feeling plastic in its makeup, and the ear cups are just not comfortable for me to wear.The noise cancelling function is very important to me since I spend too much time on airlines on a weekly basis. I found the noise cancelling characteristics of the Sennheiser headset to be very very weak. Firstly because the headset fits so tight, some outside noise is actually AMPLIFIED as it resonates through the body of the headset itself. Secondly the level of active noise cancellation is very low compared to other sets I have used. Active noise cancellation is supposed to blank out external noises that are constant and steady. It works best on low frequency noises. This headset only eliminated a small amount of the very low frequency noises. With the amplification of the non-constant outside noises (conversations, television audio, etc.) wearing the Sennheiser headset is actually noisier than having it off.(RE: Nokia BH905i) I have just spent a week airlining around the country using a Nokia BH-905i headset. The Nokia headset is everything that the Sennheiser MM550 was supposed to be but is not. The Nokia sits on the ear instead of around the ear. The Nokia is not too tight and very comfortable. Phone calls are easily heard and callers have no complaints. The music reproduction is very good. But the active noise cancellation function is far and away better than the Sennheiser. Flip the switch and most external noise (of a constant nature) is practically erased. The price point for Nokia is around $189 and ( in contrast to the Sennheiser) it is worth every penny.For $499 the Sennheiser MM550 headset is a complete disappointment. If it retailed for $200 - well that would still be too much to pay for what you get. There aren't many headsets out there with both Active Noise Cancellation and Bluetooth functions. I have only tried this one and the Nokia. The Nokia wins by a mile and this one is going back to Amazon.

Ok... so I must be getting old, have allot of free time or these headphones are awesome enough to make me sit here and actually write a review. I am only 30, rarely have free time so its neither of those. BOTTOM LINE, these headphones are awesome. I was so nervous when purchasing these...is the audio quality gonna meet my expectations??? Will callers be able to clearly hear me? How rugged are they as I am hard on stuff??? Should I go with Sennheiser as they seem to be the leader in headphone technology????The final verdict: I made the right choice and I will tell you that if you buy these you will be happy and honestly, the $300 price tag is appropriate in my estimation. The sound quality is awesome! I listen to allot of different music. Hip hop ( I want my bass ) R&B ( I really need my bass and mids) rock ( I need need my bass and highs). These headphones do it all. The call quality is very impressive also. I couldnt wait to call 2-3 people and see what they said and if they knew I was calling on a bluetooth headset. If anyone of them complained I was mailing these things back quicker than you could snap your fingers. For $300, these had to be perfect and I would have moved on to the Sennheisers. I would have hated to do this as the sound, distance to bluetooth device and build were solid. First call to my wife...success, "Wow, you sound really good." Second call to my brother who would have loved to burst my bubble cause I am so picky said "Wow, did you get a new phone, you sound really clear." My response, "Nope, not a new phone, but a $300 pair of headphones which I am using to talk to you right now." He couldnt believe I was on a headset, nevertheless one without a boom mic in front of face. I am truly amazed by that fact as well.Dont be afraid to invest in these for yourself or someone else. I researched headphones for weeks. Everything from wired Bose QC15, sennheiser, sony, beats by dre, etc. I will NEVER use a wired headphone with the quality I get from this bluetooth headset. I was actually kinda mad at BOSE for charging $300 for something that is very comparable in sound, has the same noise canceling feature, was wired and required an additional $40 purchase of a new wire to be able to control the phone. What a rip off and I am a big Bose fan so it kinda hurts to say that. Their sound is slightly better...NO DOUBT. But let me tell you, DO NOT spend $300 for a wired headset. I use a droid motorola, sony viaio laptop and Ps3 with these. AWESOME. I can use these to play Call of Duty, or connect to my laptop and watch a movie or use them on the train and plane with my droid to make calls and listen to music. Geesh, I really cant say enough and honestly..I think this is only the 2nd review I ever wrote in my life. I just remember my concerns with these after I placed the order and wanted to put others at ease. Worst case, amazon has a good return policy and you get your money back. Oh yeah, i work in a big corporate office and I was walking around yesterday with these on and 2 co-workers made comments. "Sweet headphones jay, those look sharp." A plus for those that will use these in public. I listen to my music everywhere now. Grocery store, shoveling snow (yes they are durable), etc. I wont wear them to the gym...NO WAY. I will use the old wired $15 sonys to sweat in. Also, just an fyi. I didnt move from $15 headhpones to these. I had $150 sonys that crapped out after 2 years. They were a goo0d wired product and the sound and NCF was awesome, but these things are ridiculously cool. I have to list one or 2 nuetral facts about this item but none are negative.1.) These things are very nice looking and comfortable. People are going to want to steal them.2.) Active noise canceling means if there is a consistent noise, ie. fan, jet engine, lots of people talking in a crowded place, it will block it out and do a very good job at it. If Joe Smoe wants to come up to you and chat, this will not be blocked. If you are watching Dr. Phil, you will hear all of his garbage advice unless you turn the volume up on the headphones. THis is good for me so I dont have to really do anything if I am with a friend and they wanna chat. Maybe turn down the volume, but thats about it. The ANC will not mute them. Ok, I am done and I hope folks find this helpful.

I want to preface this review by addressing an issue that I, and apparently many others, have encountered upon receiving a pair of 905i's. I had read that quite a few other folks had received a pair that basically worked for 2-3 days then mysteriously died. I thought to myself that there are always lemons in any product line and I didn't let that stray me from purchasing the product. Well low and behold, I happened to get what 'appeared' to be a lemon. After 2-3 days of moderate use all of the bluetooth connectivity, status lights, sound...basically everything stopped working except strangely enough the ANC still worked. Great, I got a lemon. I immediately filled out an RMA through Amazon and they promptly sent me a new pair. This set maybe lasted an hour longer before they suffered the same mysterious fate as their predecessor. At this point I was getting frustrated so I started digging online and I found nothing on Nokia's website addressing this issue. Now I was beyond bewilderment and staring at two 905i's, neither working, so I decided to contact Nokia's tech support directly. They responded within 24 hours by email and asked me to ship one of the defective units to their warranty dept. and they would ship me a new one. Huh? So I can get another dud? It was at this stage that I was seriously considering one of the ludicrously priced Seinnheiser products with similar features.With one last ditch effort I decided to blow through the online world of BLOG-ness and hi-fi posts, reviews, comment threads, etc to see if ANYONE had experienced this issue. After hours of blundering about I found a comment way down on a BH-905 comment thread where someone had this issue and basically held the Multi-Function button, Rewind, and Vol Down button simultaneously for 15 seconds and voila...reboot!!!! Believe it or not, I tried it on both pairs I have here and it did the trick. Ironically enough, I've been using both pairs rigorously for a week now to see which one I should return if one set seems to be more problematic than the other and the issue has not resurfaced once!! Thank you BLOGEES and BLOGETTES!!!! Problem solved!!!Now on to the review....When these dogs are working...they are un-matched in most regards. I have had almost every set of bluetooth cans on the market on my head at some point or another and I own quite a few to boot. These are hands down the best sounding set by a landslide. They feel and sound very natural in their sound space and the bass is more than satisfactory for any set of headphones. They get plenty loud, and I've heard many people complain about this shortcoming and faulting headsets when often times volume limit is a function of the phone/mp3 player putting out the source feed over bluetooth. For example, my iPhone 4 caps out most of my other headsets to the point where I might as well hook up the wire but if I bluetooth from my computer or stereo receiver via the Jabra A120S (universal bluetooth dongle)they blast!! The Jabra is a superb little unit for $20 btw, highly recommend. With that said, these are the loudest pair I own when connected to the iPhone over bluetooth. They are actually acceptable as I like my music LOUD. Other sets I currently have include the Motorola S-305, Motorola S-805, and the Motorola S10-HD.ANC works well, the headphones are extremely light and comfortable if not too loose fitting as they do slide around on the head a bit. Don't bend over, they WILL end up on the ground. Battery life is phenomenal. For the most part I am extremely satisfied. I probably have the same complaints as others regarding the proprietary charger and no swappable battery but these are minor gripes for the product you get. Also the leather carrying case is nice and the slew of adapters and cables would cost you $50-$60 alone if you went on a Radio Shack shopping spree.Bottom Line...BUY EM, YOU WON'T BE DISSAPPOINTED!!! Just remember the REBOOT trick mentioned above if they lock up during break-in period and you'll be fine!Jay

I have bought the BH-905i recently. The only justification for buying this high-priced headphones was that it would be able to kill 99% of the background noise as advertised by Nokia. To me this seemed revolutionary; being able to talk in the noisy city traffic and hearing clearly the other person also believing that I am strolling through some nature reserve park or something.However, I am far from impressed with the Active Noise Cancellation capabilities (be it feed forward or whatever):1) Receiver side noise cancellation: This is supposed to create a cancelling sound field around the ear exactly opposite in phase to the background noise. This should allow you to hear clearly in busy streets. However, BH-905i does not truly kill 99% if background noise as advertised, it merely reduces low frequency hummimg noises effectively (like the aircraft engine, the air-conditioner noise, or the the din of an office). It fails to cancel or even reduce high-frequency noise or varying noise such as car horns, or any sudden noises. On the contrary, it introduces an audible hiss in the sound stream. You can understand this by just flicking on then ANC switch in & off without connecting the headset to audio / voice. I believe that the hardware is not fast enough to create anti-noise in the correct phase, so the stuff works well for constant low power humming noises only (there could be a different reason, but in the end it does not effectively reduce background noise). That's not what I was expecting considering the price. The same effect can be achieved by much cheaper passive noise cancellation techniques (in-ear or around-the-ear type of headphones).2) Noise Cancellation for my Voice: This is supposed to filter out my voice from among the background noise and deliver it to the listener on the other end (the person who I have called). BH-905i does a very lousy job on this front. The person on the other end is barely able to hear my voice and the background noise remains high. In fact, I have to talk very loudly so that the other person is able to make out my voice from the background noise. In the same location, I have used my Samsung Galaxy S2 handset directly, and it has given astonishing results. The phone has a dual mic for noise cancellation and is very effective (most of the times the person on the other end is unable to make out whether I am at my home or in a busy intersection). Unfortunately, BH-905i fails miserably here.3) Cancelling noise in the voice (eliminating noise from the voice signal of the other end): Suppose the person who has called you is in a busy street and you are in your office /home. You do not require ANC at your end. If your headset is able to use DSP based noise filtering algorithms to enhance the voice quality and reduce the background noise of the speaker, it would have been a great thing. BH-905i does not attempt to do this (i am not aware if there are others which do this).Overall, the ANC for this product is not as good as it is advertised. The headphones are of good quality and look great, but that is not what I had bought this product for.Do share your feedback on this review.

Nokia BH-111 comes with a pair of in ear earphones and a Nokia charger. I got it few months ago and I'm still very happy about it. The best thing about this thing is that it allows you to use your expensive high quality earphones or headphones with it. It might seem like it kinda defeats the purpose of being wireless by adding earphones, but it does provide great remote control for your music. It works well with iPad, iPod (actually all iOS devices), Android, Windows Phone and my PC too. My main complaint with using earphones directly was the lack of remote control! Though Apple's OEM headset comes with a remote and mic, it doesn't really offer good quality. With this headset, I have best of both worlds! I can use any earphones I want and still have remote and mic. Moreover, the remote and mic works everywhere (yes, on PCs too!).On the technical side, BH-111 works on universally supported AVRCP (Audio Video Remote Control Protocol). So, no compatibility issues like one OEM headset not working on another device. It's quite lightweight and still packs nice battery. The battery lasts me more than a day with regular to high use. Microphone has a good quality too. I was easily able to talk to Siri without any disturbance. Unlike other Bluetooth headsets I tried, this one doesn't give any lag or distortion in music. It worked totally fine within range of 5 meters from the phone. The earphones it came with are just okay. Silicon earbuds come in different sizes and fit comfortably in ears.Lastly, the build quality is good. Colors look nice too. This is best one can get in this price range.

Regardless how many reviews one reads, the only way to accurately test headphones is to listen to them and wear them; little else matters. With this disclaimer being said, as a long time high end audiophile ($100-200,000 home systems---in other words--REALLY serious) I feel I can lend a little help here.These headphones were specifically designed to work with your cell phone or iPod (or similar media player). If one is looking for studio or audiophile grade headphones for serious listening, you would probably get more for you money buying dedicated single purpose headphones. Your studio headphones will not answer the phone or enable you to speak though. They also will not give you the freedom of movement that the bluetooth connectivity affords. This is where the Nokia's excel, they are a complete mobile lifestyle headset offering you every convenience one would require (with the exception of being a 'sports' headset)I have a pair of $150 Sony Studio Pros lying about and I compared the sound quality between the 2. The Nokia blew the Sony's away in every imaginable way. There was more dynamics, the soundstage was wider, there was more 'presence' (everything sounds much closer to you, more intimate), the bass was tighter, the midrange richer, and the entire frequency band was seamless. They sound great. I enjoy a variety of music, from Classical to high energy Techno-Rock (Scissor Sisters). They performed excellent regardless what type of music I use them with.IN the house, I use the bluetooth connection. I can move throughout the entire house and not drop the signal---so your phone can be charging in one room, while you are making dinner in the kitchen. Having the freedom of movement without a phone or cord stuck to your body is great. Outside the bluetooth performed very well, but was subject to interference, as is any bluetooth device. With the solid in-home connection there is no difference in sound quality.Another added bonus to this set is the ability to defeat the ANC. Noise cancellation also can tend to cancel the quality of your sound since this is achieved by frequency matching, thus nullifying the offending noise (and nullifying whatever music happens to be on the same frequency). For example, the Bose headpones ANC are always active and cannot be turned off.Anyone buying these headphones will also feel a pride of ownership that makes the expenditure all the more worthwhile (personally, I hate buying anything when the end result is that the product itself looks like it should have cost half as much!). This product not only looks its worth, but is made extremely well with excellent materials and fit and finish. They are extremely comfortable to wear as many reviewers have noted. What they failed to note however is something I found to be a bit curious--you just can't plunk these headphones upon your head and achieve the maximum level of comfort. Unlike any other headphones I have ever seen, the ear-cups are canted at a slight angle rather than just perpendicular to the floor. I fiddled around for a good half-hour finding the "sweet spot" of comfort.Cons: I have one, and this is a biggie. Although these are sealed-back headphones they do not contain the sound. If you are on a plane or out and about, you will be a nuisance to all those around you. I have a cheap set of on-the-ear headphones that contain the sound much better! This is going to prove to be a big disappointment on international flights. This being said, I have only had the headset a week and I have not worried about this negative aspect as yet...it MAY be possible I am overlooking something that can ameliorate this problem.

After encountering lots of buys and refunds (due to fake-look-alike) in ebay, I decided to buy the product at full price from Amazon and needless to say that this time I do not have to return it as it is indeed original.However, after experiencing the original Nokia-BH-905i, I wonder if all my previous bargains (purchase and refunds), were really worth of time and money :) . (I paid import duty too :))Quite candidly $230 is an exorbitant price to pay for a headset which do not perform better than a $9 worth Sennheiser hd.201, I mean even with the active noise cancellation (ANC) activated. Any over the ear design headsets do a pretty decent job of reducing the regular background noise along with the random spikes. While on a regular and continuous noise, BH-905i is somewhat effective (due to their destructive interference electronics) they completely fail in a spiky noise environment. I am not sure if it is something wrong with mine in-ear sensitivity or with the piece of hardware that I own, but the moment I activate ANC, I start to feel little uneasy.On quality of Sound, I would give them 5 out of 10. For some reasons the mid tones of my music completely vanish with BH-905i, but to be fair; low tones are pretty okay.I would probably rate Bose noise cancelling headphones higher than BH-905i with a wireless drawback

Pros:- Great sound when wired, very good sound with Bluetooth- Excellent noise canceling- Good build quality with high quality materials- Extremely flexible with Bluetooth and many wired options- Excellent battery life- Excellent Bluetooth range (when used with a strong Bluetooth transmitter)Cons- Very poor performance for calls, wired or via Bluetooth- Bluetooth connection is lost fairly often- Noise canceling goes haywire every so often and emits a very loud, high pitch sound- Control buttons don't work in wired mode (but then again, this means the unit works as a headset when the battery is dead, I think)I'd had these headphones for 1 month. I use them about 20 hours a week and I charge them once a week (preemptively charging, the battery isn't running out). I use them with an iPhone 4 and a Dell laptop. With the iPhone the bass boost function does not work but the range is amazing (work several rooms away). With the Dell the base boost works, but the range is limited pretty strictly to line of sight. In a relatively quiet environment the noise canceling feels uncomfortable, you can feel the pressure on your ear drum (this may be true for all noise canceling headphones). However, on a airplane the noise canceling works extremely well. The headphones sound great to me (I am not a audiophile). The comfort / fit is okay. They do not squeeze my head at all (I have a big head). They do make my ears a hot, but I've yet to try circumaural or supra-aural headphone which didn't. So in general, these headphone are very nice, but they do have issues.One problem is they drop the Bluetooth connection every 4ish hours. When it happens I have to turn the headset off and back on. It is a bit annoying but easily manageable. Another problem is about once every 2-3 days the noise canceling just goes completely haywire and emits a horrible sound. Again, just a reset fixes the problem. Again, annoying but manageable. What prevents this headset from getting 5 starts however is the very poor performance as an actual headset. It works in a pinch but the wired headset that comes with an iPhone sounds 100x better for both parties of the call. People say I sound tinny and they don't sound much better. Often I'm listening to music which sounds clear and rich, someone calls, and during our conversation it is like I'm listening to busted car speaker from the 80s. I actually keep the iPhone wired headset connected and switch to it for calls when in a noisy environment. (It is possible that the poor headset sound could be due to the iPhone itself and some Bluetooth profile mismatch, but wired performance isn't much better and I have cheap Jabra Bluetooth headset that I got as freebie from a conference and it sounds much better).So if you are looking for a excellent wired, wireless, and noise canceling headphones, I recommend the Nokia BH905i. If you need headset functionality, I cannot recommend this headset.

I had been looking for a top shelf quality pair of bluetooth headphones for quite a while when I found these Noikias. I had considered paying ~$500 for those Sennheiser headphones, and I had already bought and returned a pair of Bose QuietComfort 15s, neither seemed worth the money they're asking for them. And then I found the Nokia BH-905i, I got a used pair for just under $200 on here about six months ago. And let me tell you, these things are absolutely amazing! The build quality is fantastic, mine have gotten knocked off of my head while I've been standing up onto a rug over concrete multiple times and they still work perfectly, and sound utterly amazing! SO MUCH BASS! Seriously, I almost never even use the bass boost mode on them because they have so much bass with just the stereo widening mode on! The battery life is amazing! If you don't use the noise canceling very often you can use these off and on for days at a time, no joke! I have virtually no complaints whatsoever regarding these headphones, they are just perfect! I literally cannot recommend these enough, so just do yourself a favor, and get yourself a pair of these headphones, especially if you listen to electronic music! This is my opinion after six months of constant use! Seriously, these things are the best all around purchase out there in terms of high-end bluetooth headphones, period.

I bought the headset for use when I travel. I was looking for cordless HiFi headphones that work wirelessly with my Bluetooth enabled Laptop and TabletPC, as well as, wired with my iPod and other audio devices. Once properly connected with an A2DP Bluetooth device, the sound is fantastic. It is as good or better than my wired Bose noise canceling headphones. The only problem I had was that once the Bluetooth connection did not connect in A2DP mode resulting in terrible audio. I reset the Bluetooth connection and all was good. The sound is good for all my Bluetooth A2DP devices accept my old Nokia phone (it's time for an upgrade). The battery life is pretty good also. The noise canceling works very well (actually too well on airplanes - they cancel out even the announcements).My only gripe is with the industry - not Nokia. Why can't the industry develop a small number of standard wired connectors that are small and robust? It is ridiculous to have to carry a bag full of adapters although Nokia provides a nice travel case.The controls are well designed but you have to remember where they are once the headphones are on your head. I had to take them off a few times just to see which controls do what. Once you figure out the layout, they are not hard to remember. It would be nice if they were more compact but they are the same size or smaller than competing brands.I recommend these headphones highly to any audiophile looking for good quality noise canceling headphones that can connect wirelessly via Bluetooth as well as using standard "wired" connectors. It's a great product.

The main point to remember that it is good as a combination / comprehensive product, which does bluetooth, noise cancelling, music, phone all in one product. Individually, it is not the BEST at doing any of the tasks. For example, its noise cancellation is not better than any $100.00 product (Rather, in one of the comaprisons on CNET that I saw, it does not appear among the top 5), and my $5 wired phone headset provides better and reliable phone conversation than these. The music comes out well but most $100.00 headphones will beat it hands down.So it is not perfect but it is a top one out there in its class of headsets. Of course it is way overpriced at $300.00 but because there are only few decent noise canceling headphones and only couple that also do bluetooth.One major area of my interest is the noise canceling component. I am a commuter to New York, and struggle my way through trains, subway, long walks through jostling tourists on noisy streets and mostly I listen to audio books so a decent noise canceling capability is a must for me.In the past I have tried to many times to replace Bose QCs but never found a decent wireless alternative. I have tried bluetooth noise canceling products from Sony, Luvs, and Samsung but found them worthless in subways.I compared BH-905i with Bose QC15, Sennheiser MM-450 and Nokia BH-905. I found its Noise cancelling about half of QC15 but bettter than more expensive Sennheiser MM-450. Surprisingly, I found BH-905 noise cancelling a notch better. I ran tests standing next to my heating unit, refregierator, walking through boradway during rush hours and a ride through the subway.Bose QC15 are the best and the greatest as far as ANC but not easy to manage, to wear or stow away. In a cold climate, managing a wired headphone without any controls out of several layers of clothing is at best awkward. But their quality, comfort is great and noise canceling is few notches above their competition. Nokia BH-905i competes with them in every respect but loses in the noise canceling department. So if noise canceling is your main concern, QC15 is a no brainer.The bluetooth range of Nokia BH-905i is surprisingly good, as well as pairing, connectivity, and most importantly, it reconnects predictably everytime. I have been able to connect to iPad, an Android phone and a Macbook and it does a good job. They don't fit my head very well and fall off when I bend it forward but I can live with that. The audio quality is comparable, if not as good, to Bose's or Sennheiser. Its noise canceling works in most environments like airplance, but fails in more demanding ones like Subway.However, if noise canceling is not high on your priority list then there are other bluetooth headsets available for one third the price. To justify $300 on these you must be looking for both - a high quality noise canceling as well as bluetooth connectivity.UPDATE:I think at $199.00 they are more reasonably priced so I have improved my rating. However, BH-905 at $139.00 is better.

I bought these several months ago when they were listed at $219 here on Amazon so I got a great deal. But even at $290, these are worth it. The noise cancellation is quite startling. Not only does it almost completely block out white noise like fans and other household appliances, it also greatly dampens more erratic environmental noise like televisions and human conversation.Battery life is sensational. Though I do wish there was a better way to determine how much juice is left; the only indicator is a series of beeps when the battery is low.Sound quality is very good. Though I do wish I could crank up the volume a little more.Works well with my iPad, iPhone and laptops. However, every once in a while, the Bluetooth radio will seem to scramble the audio signal and send out ear piercing screeches. Not sure if the headphones can be blamed for this, though. It doesn't happen that often and is easily fixed by turning them off and repairing them.They are stylish and I'm not embarrassed to wear them in public.My last nitpick is the tiny flashing blue LED light that blinks constantly. It's a real annoyance when you are in bed in a dark room. The whole room lights up and you can see it reflected in your device, too. Not having away to turn this blinking off is an engineering oversight.

I have Bose QC15 and Nokia -BH905iSound quality is pretty much the sameBH feel softer on the ears, Bose does not feel as comfortable with this ugly big speakers.When you run on a treadmill Bose sucks big time because of the cable moving in front of you. With BH 905i I don't have that problem.Also is much easier to travel with BH-905I, You don't have to look for that long cable getting stuck on a doorknob or someone's seat.I can't live without my Nokia BH-905i . I give my Bose QC to my wife.Be careful for fake Nokia BH 905 On eBayAlways look for genuineThe fake ones cost $50-$90The genuine cost 200-350I've paid for mineBose QC15 $400. *** ( I regret this)Nokia BH905 $250. ********Hope this helps.Thanks

I recently purchased the Nokia 905i headset as my old wired unit fell to pieces. I decided to experiment with blue tooth for the first time. I have a small kensington Blue tooth transmitter on my computer and it immediately picked up the headset for both voice calling and earphone use. I found the sound to be very clear. I was amazed to watch a netflix video and could actually hear the actors chewing their food! The bass has three setting while using it in the Blue tooth mode. I find that it has more than enough bass especially if you have a graphics equalizer on your computer. The noise cancellation works wonderfully. The fans on my computer completely disappeared after I flipped the switch. I even took a blow dryer and set on the table in front of the computer and it took away a good portion of the noise which made me able to watch the movie without being annoyed. Basically you can get absolute silence for the most part while listening to music. I then hooked up my yahoo phone account and made an internet call to New Hampshire. My family said the sound quality from the multiple microphones sounded great. Since my mom is extremely deaf I knew I had a winner. I purchased a cheap dongle to plug into the earphones of my Harmon Kardon system which I use for music and also run through the TV. Now I can watch TV at 2am and not bother anyone in the household. The clarity is wonderful, I have yet to get static anywhere I walk in the house. When nothing is playing on through the earphones it's complete silence. If you get too far from the transmitter the voice will cut in or out, but that would be expected at the distance the specs give you. I have used the product daily and have had no trouble what-so-ever. I hope it continues this well. I love being wire free. One last note. It will work while on the charger and it also gives you a cord if you can't use bluetooth. I consider it an excellent buy.

Nice headphones.Well built, good noise cancellation, works with my Nokia Lumia and laptop without any issues.May be best ANC headphones. No any ear drum pressure like with Bose. This headphones are not over-the-ear headphones but they works well with noise isolation.And no any annoying wires with Bluetooth!First time when I received them I think that they don't isolate well me from all ambient sounds. This is absolutely normally with ANC headphones. I've compare this Nokia with Dr.Dre Beat Studio with ANC and Bose with ANC headphones - Nokia the best. Bose is pretty uncomfortable for ears - I've felt some pressure to my eardrums, Dr. Dre's ANC working not so good as Nokia's. And they both are wired headphones! Also Nokia's microphone's sound quality is good too.

The Nokia BH-905i Bluetooth Headset is the best pair or headphones I have had in a Long time! These headphones fit on your ear not over so I was skeptical. Until- Run time was 2 full days @work(16hrs)with the noise cancel feature on & almost 3 full days @work(24hrs)without the noise canceling feature on. Give or take 30 minutes for my breaks. Working in a Manufacturing Plant that is Very Loud! There is very little background noise without the noise canceling feature even on. Thanks Nokia for making such a quality Product! Oh... about 2.5hr charge time.[...]

I purchased these headphones in Feb 2011 and they fine until I tried to use them with my ipad (3rd gen). Now, everytime i use them with my ipad, the audio will drop out but all other functions (play, pause, etc) works fine. I thought it was a problem with my ipad but all my other bluetooth devices work fine. Nokia has been utterly useless in trying to resolve the issue. Nokia will not service the item because it out of warranty (even if I offer to pay for the repairs). This is the last Nokia product I will ever purchase!!!

I'll keep this short and simple:I've had these for 16 months and they're still kicking - amazing bass, beautiful smooth sound quality, spotless ANC!The only con is that your neighbor can hear what you're listening to if the volume is all the way to the top.You can never go wrong with quality, durability and design if you do Nokia.

I have Sony NC22 (probably NC33 is the same thing but in a different package) and I expected more noise cancelling from the Nokia based on the 99% and 8 microphones claim. That was a mistake. Nokia is almost on the same level as Sony (with 2 microphones) when there is a need to suppress loud noise - I have checked that in older subway trains. Both are great at suppressing lower frequencies and both struggle with higher frequency noises. The problem is that Nokia claims 99% noise reduction and Sony claims 90% while in fact it is the same thing. Sony even has an advantage: when noise reduction is activated on Sony it also applies some equalizing accenting higher middle frequencies that greatly improves speech intelligibility when outside noise is very high and Nokia does no such thing - there are only built-in options to boost bass and widen stereo. I have managed to trick my phone into applying some equalizing ("Jazz" preset) for podcast application but having this right in headphones would be more convenient.If noise is not so loud the Nokia is fine: noise reduction seems to introduce less noise than on Sony, there are no wires to tangle, sound via Bluetooth is not bad - bass and extreme highs are "wrong" but dynamics feel sharp without colouring, hard case is convenient enough.

I have had my BH-501 headphones for several years. I like being wire free and these have served that purpose. Microphone has been the best when I use for phone but the sound is very good. Be warned... you do have to be gentle with them since the way these are meant to be stored is not convenient. The do not fold flat. They fold to stand up. Very awkward. I've glued the ear bands several times now with superglue. They have been put away several times after they break because of the frustration. Just be careful with them if you purchase.
