Strengths: Clarity for speaker and the listner. Holds tight on the ear for stability so falling off the ear is less likely. Extended boom and bluetooth pairing is easy to use. answering and hanging up calls.
Weaknesses: seating on the ear can be uncomfortable at first and confusing. volume button is always accidentally pressed when putting on the ear. spring loaded boom would be easier.
Summary: 2007-01-21 19:19:43 This is the most unique bluetooth headset I have ever used and it was worth buying. The boom has a slight titanium color and the dark silver finish of the headset is very sleek. Pairing the headset with my T-Mobile Dash was very easy and fast. Answering and hanging was a breeze but one thing I wish it did was play the music I had on the phone and have a spring loaded boom. If you have very large hands or can not manage very small buttons then the power/pairing buttons will give you some problems. The one thing that did and still gives me some trouble is the ear hook. I have to get it seated just right so it directs to my ear canal. The prongs at first rubbed on to my ear but now its not a bother. I wear glasses and still have no problems. At times I forget to extend the boom and still have no trouble having the listner hear me on the other end. Over all if for some reason I loose or break or ect. this headset, I will definitely buy this one again!

Strengths: stylist design
strong signal
long last battery life
Weaknesses: NA
Summary: I have been switching between many different bluetooth devices available in the market but this is the best one so far. At a very low price compared to many, this headset gives me the best sound quality and longest battery life. with a modern look, this bluetooth stands out from many others in the market at this time. Worth the money.

Strengths: * My voice is heard clearly from the receiver side
* No problem (so far) with connecting with my bluetooth enabled phone
Weaknesses: * The headset doesn't always remain close enough to the ear, so you don't always hear the other side loud enough, even if I put the sound to maximum
*
Summary: I have bought so many headsets in the last couple of years, I have virtually lost count, and I have a cemetery of headsets at home. So far, I haven't been 100% happy with a single one. This one isn't perfect either, but it is the best I had so far. The biggest problem I had with headsets (especially the ones that only stick to the ear) is that people from the receiving side don't hear me clearly. I was always told that I sound far away, like talking to them from a planet far away. Since I'm conducting business over the phone talking to client, I was determined to spend extra money to get a good headset so that my clients wouldn't know if I was, indeed, talking to them over a headset. I did some extensive research, and I finally settled for this one, and although it is not perfect, it is close to. I am particularly happy about that people can't distinguish from the sound quality that I am talking to them over a headset. I think the problems many other headsets have is that the microphone is just too far away from the mouth. You can still hear, but -- as many mentioned -- you sound far away. The extended boom on this Nokia headset, puts the microphone to the vicinity of your mouth -- at least not further away than, let's say, the microphone of a small cell-phone. Indeed, if you measure the distance the microphone of this headset has to my mouth, it is about the same distance of that of a regular cell-phone. I think that's why my voice is heard clearly on the other end. The drawback on this device is that putting this on your ear takes some time to get used to, and it is not adjustable to the ear, so -- in my case -- I feel the earpiece is slightly detached from my ear. That means you don't hear the voice on the other end as loud/clearly as you like to and I have put the sound already to a max. Another drawback is the very very small buttons (such as on/off buttons and "talk" button. You can get used to it, but since there is space on the item, I wonder why Nokia didn't make the buttons a tad larger. But overall, as mentioned earlier, it is the best device I had so far, and I'm generally happy with it. It doesn't seem to have a problem with my headset and I would definitely recommend people to buy this product, especially if they are concerned about being heard clearly on the receiving end.

Strengths: EXTENDABLE Boom Mic; durability; build quality
Weaknesses: utilitarian design; BT backwards compatability issues
Summary: Having owned previous headsets by Motorola and SE, I came to the conclusion that my next headset better have sound quality over form and function because that is what a headset does. Therefore, a DSP to cancel background noise and a sensitive mic was the two most important criterias that finally led me to this headset.
The DSP is very good as it blocks out environmental noises very well. Often, cheaper BT headsets forgo a later generation DSP that either minimizes your voice or is ineffective at all. I had no qualms using this on a noisy subway train and in an open convertible.
The boom mic's length gives it a clarity that surpasses every other headset in terms of conveying a loud sounding voice to the other end. Using this with skype and regular cell phones allowed me to finally forgo the repeated phrases and the "I can't hear you loudly" utterances muttered by the other line. Everybody has raved about me sounding distinct and discrete, as if my mouth was right next to the cell phone itself. That is an impressive feat.
The major drawback is the style. It is corporate looking and definitely not as good looking as the SE HV headsets. But I take performance over style but I wouldn't want to wear this out in the public as it conveys a telemarketing exterior. I don't think they can improve headsets without compromising clarity.
Minor hiccips include bluetooth standards issues. I've heard connection problems with last gen. smart phones (Treos and Blackberrys) but I have no problems with my BT 2.0 SE phone. So take a look at the compatability list and browse the howardforums to see if this BT headset is going to give you transparent performance.
I would definitely buy this again as Nokia seems to be the only manafacturer that has taken the mantle of performance over style. I applaud their technology director having a much greater say than the marketing director on choosing their direction of their BH line of headsets. Kudos all-around for engineering winning out.

Strengths: the signal is pretty strong in a reasonable distance and voice can transferred clearly. I won't even think about to use it for music though.
Weaknesses: it does not really fit to my ear though. If you are considering buying this one, you'd better find a chance to try it on.
Summary: I bought it for using while driving. It's convenient and really meets me need. I also try to link it with my computer when using skype calling overseas. It worked very well.

Strengths: Solid structure. Easy to use. Clear communication.
Weaknesses: Does not match any color of actual Nokia products in the Market. Finish is like old style.
Summary: I am really enjoying it, I recommend it for the people that is not in the rush to put the device on the ear. If you have a big ear, think about a Samsung.

Strengths: Great sound quality and awesome charging rate!
Weaknesses: Have yet to find any
Summary: Great sound quality is evident through the fact that people on calls with me cannot differentiate my voice from using the handset (major plus!) Fast charging is another great feature, I wish I could say the same for my Nokia N80 phone! comfort is decent, so overall this unit fits my needs.

Strengths: Automatically connect to my phone when in range, lasts a long time, comfortable, sliding boom allows me to answer and hang up phone calls.
Weaknesses: Unlike my Nokia phone, I have found no way to disable hanging up when you slide the boom shut.
Summary: 2007-06-11 20:21:12 Very pleased with unit, works flawlessly and works at a great range in my opinion. Personally bought it because I have a Nokia phone that slides, I though it would be aesthetically pleasing.

Strengths: Comfort, Design
Weaknesses: None
Summary: This is not my first Bluetooth headset, but certainly the best. The best feature is the extending boom. After extending, not only it answers the call, but also it makes you feel you are talking directly into the mic which is a feeling missing from others that are short and oriented toward your nose! The design is functional and elegant and the battery life is good. I did not experience the problem mentioned in other reviews regarding the problem of disconnecting on the first call. All around a great headset and highly recommended.
