Great, exactly what I expected
This is a great little gadget for anyone that spends at least a couple hours a week on the go, listening to music.
I'm no audiophile, but this are by far the best sounding in-ear headphones I've had. Amazing range of sounds.
Very comfortable, and it's absolutely worth it to try out all in ear pieces to see which one fits best.
It's very light, the headset commands are excellent, but, event though it's very light it also appears sturdy and I don't have a problem to just stuff it in my bag when I stop listening to music.
Compatibility minor issue
I had difficulty connecting or pairing the Nokia BH-505 to the Sony Xperia T. It did not even show the headset when searching for Bluetooth. Then, before I was about to give up, I notice the BH-505 has NFC capability. Only when I activated that and also ticked Android Beam, then tapped the back of the Headset to the back of the mobile did it suddenly connect. Now it knows it's there I switched off NFC and switched on Bluetooth to discover they were now seeing each other and were in fact connected. Just love this Nokia BH-505 headset and now that I've upgraded from Nokia N8 to Xperia T am I satisfied 100%.
Just what I wanted
Fantastic set of headphones - very clear sound and pretty good volume levels. My main gripe is that they require a Nokia charger rather then a USB one. I would have preffered the head band to be more flexible and softer. The ear buds fits snuggly into the ears and are comfortable. Overall, I would recommend the headphones
good and bad
Pros
They are light, sound good easy to use reasonable price

cons
You can't wear them in bed / lying back in a chair
they are too fragile
to get real sound isolation you need to add Comply TX400 buds
The Tradesman's Tonic?
As a working tradesman I had a particular problem surrounding both answering phone calls and listening to some form of entertainment whilst working in other people,s property and often handling messy wet substances. A radio played to air is not always acceptable where other people can be disturbed and "fishing" for a mobile phone with dirty hands is not good for the appearance and longevity of the phone. Often the call is missed by the time my hands are clean which may mean lost business so a solution was sought. My first attempt was an mp3 player,but earphone wires were always getting caught and sometimes broken and this did not answer the phone problem and suffered from the grubby hand menace. I moved on to a bluetooth ear piece which was a perfect answer to all problems as I listened to music stored on the phone and could answer via the earpiece. The down side was that I find it is preferable to listen in stereo and the battery was flat by lunch time. /
I purchased a pair of lightweight bluetooth headphones which took the form of the standard over the head type. Perfect in every respect until leaning forward to mix plaster or pick something up when they fell forward, or off, sometimes into the bucket.
Last and final solution the nokia headset. Control over the music in every respect, direct link with a mobile phone, battery lasts all day and then some, and absolutely no movement in any position.
My only criticism is they cause mild pain in the ears when worn for long periods, but I may relieve this by using one of the different ear buds supplied. A measure of the discomfort is that I can't be bothered to do it so it isn't that bad. On one occasion when forwarding the track it would not stop forwarding until switched off and on again and was reluctant to rewind later, however I had been wearing them in the bath and they may have been affected by moisture as I have had no trouble since. They are advertised as splash proof, so this is a little disappointing and leads to the loss of one star as I fear this may recur in the future. Not the least expensive available, but living up to most of my expectations so worth the price to me.
Wireless Headphones That are Especially not Splash
The Nokia BH-505 Bluetooth Headphones are designed for use in an uncomfortable orientation, I personally found that using them upside-down, with the slightly weighty battery pack resting on you neck worked well. Reversed usage made changing track & volume counterintuitive at first but resulted in an ergonomic use when training at the gym.
My reason for the low rating is that on two occasions the headphone stopped working, initially breaking up when moving away from the source (EG. Iphone) then eventually both sets becoming complete unresponsive to the standby/power on button. Nokia didn’t make it easy to be repaired either, as they refused to replace them and instead required multiple phone calls to be repaired. On the second occasion they broke Nokia falsely quoted a 6 month warranty on all electrical accessories which violates EU Directive 1999/44/EC. With this in mind I cannot say I’m happy with this product as Water damage was behind both breakages even though the use was only regular gym use. These “waterproof” headphone can defiantly not be described as so and should only be used are a regular Bluetooth headset.

Nokia / good but not for jogging
The sound is perfect for audio playback.

As a phone headset it works but usually the other end complains the quality isn't perfect.

I have changed mine 3 times (mobile fun fully supported the warranty). Turns out when you sweat into them they short out internally and fail..

They are excellent for commuting and walking etc, but if u are going to exercise with them then dry them in a bag with silica gel afterwards...
DO NOT BUY FOR SPORTS ACTIVITIES
Despite the great reviews and the Nokia blurb that states these are splash and sweat resistant, THEY ARE NOT. I purchased specifically for running and cycling but when you sweat, they stop working to the point where they randomly make phone calls, you cannot switch the headset off (on back on). They are great for dry conditions but for sports forget it.
Where do I start? Well here goes .....
I was looking for a Bluetooth headset that would work well with my iPhone as both a phone device and music player when I go for a run.

I did all the usual searches on the web and found several, the Nokia being the best looking and also seemingly the most suitable for sports wear as Nokia state that it is:
"Reliable and durable
Splash resistant and robust – ideal for all your outdoor activities."

I was most pleased when the headset arrived and had many hours of cable free running until one day for no apparent reason it just seized up. I couldn't turn it off so I let the battery run down. Then it wouldn't take a charge. Again I researched the web only to find out that other runners had found similar issues with the device.

I now have a shinny new replacement headset from MobileFun (not intending to say that MobileFun are in anyway responsible for the items issues) and I am going to give it another try, but if this one fails then it will be back to the good old cable job at £9.99.

Hope this helps, and no, I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.
Great product
These are the best headphones I've ever owned - I've been using wired ones for years waiting for a bluetooth set that I like. Key strengths are:

1. In ear - perfect for use on the train.
2. Handles calls and music with sleak buttons.
3. Range - I accidentally left the phone downstairs and went wandering off with my music playing to the top of our house (which is on 2 floors) without loosing connnection.
4. Battery life.
5. Looks really cool.
6. Excellent sound quality (only with in-ear though).
Nokia BH-505 Stereo Bluetooth Headset
Easy to set up and use. Cat kit died so thought headset would well but also now use in the office as hands are free for notes etc.
Sound reproduction good and comfortable to wear so recommend it.
Not for me :-(
I bought these headphones as they included intra concha earpieces as well as the type that go into your ear canals. Personnaly I don't like the in-ear canal types as they annoy me. Unfortunately, using the intra concha earplugs left the sound from these headphones very tinny indeed with no appreciable bass from them at all. I tried all the different size ear pieces to no avail - I cannot get a decent sound from these headphones at all. I tried the ear canal buds and when I could get them to stay in my ears the sound was much better but I could not stand using in-ear buds for more than a few minutes. I cannot comment on the battery life as I have given up using these headphones.
If you like the in-ear style buds then these headphones are worth a try but if, like me, you don't like in-ear buds and saw that these included intra concha type buds then don't waste your money as you cannot get a reasonable sound from these headphones.
Good Gadget
I bought these to wear under my ski helmet, good sound and easy to use and set up, plus a nice fit under my crash hat. Result.
Great headset!
The headset is very comfortable (6 pairs of different size/style earbuds are supplied), even when worn for extended periods (5+ hours). I'm using with an iPhone 4 - all functionality works well, except for the track skip forward/back (well-known iPhone issue due to non-standard implementation by Apple). Music quality is flawless (no crackles or interference) but call quality varies between perfect and somewhat poor. I believe this is due to the iPhone as tests with an old Nokia handset had perfect clarity. All in all, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this headset - great quality and value!
Great service Great product
Mobile fun delivered to me in the UK the day after ordering the Nokia BH 505. Excellent service, first class.
The headset replaces a Motorola S9 which packed up on me last month. I decided to go for the Nokia model after reading the reviews on MobileFun and having the guarantee it was not a `grey` import. Unit works as described. Plenty of ear buds included, to choose the most comfortable fit. Easy to operate and paired with Blackberry within seconds.
Looks good in white too.
Had to use the dust bag off my old Motorola as this unit does not come from Nokia with storage/dust bag, but not a problem.
Recommend the Nokia BH 505 as it frees you from wires and gives you control of your music and phone calls without having the phone on display. Which can be handy, especially as i work in northern Kazakhstan.
Great Device well worth the price
The Nokia BH505 was almost exactly what I wanted - free me from those wires. I broke three sets of wired headsets in three weeks...
Sound quality was superb - no complaints. Linked to my Mobile and desktop so i could walk around at work and home.
Controls are easy to use and phone use is incredible - I was still holding my phone forgetting that I was talking through the headset!
Let down - One headsize - mine kept dropping down the back of my neck. Maybe if I had Lots of hair!!
Works well, bit uncomfortable for long periods
The headphones look good and have a reasonable build quality. Have a good bass tone (maybe too much) and very clear sound. Can be used for hands free phone operation and also have a pickup/hangup button and play/pause button on the side of the head set. Also has a forward/back and vol slider on each side of the headset. Easy to setup and charge (uses same nokia charger as their phones). My only gripe is that because they are quite a springy design to stay put when moving around; they can get uncomfortable when being worn for long periods.
Nokia BH-505 Stereo Bluetooth Headset
very good price, fast & efficient delivery.
used it for a week so far, sound is excellent, slick & stylish look.
many thanks
Convenience
I'm really enjoying this headset, it has freed me from all the clatter that wires produce and wish there are more like it on the market. The problem is they're hard to find and this is baffling me as such a product should be launched worldwide and found everyehere. It may not be ideal for jogging, as advertised, as they are not a tight fit, but are ideal for anyone on the go.
very good
I received the headphone very quickly. It was a bit hard to find the bluetooth whole. Once fully loaded, it's a pleasure to listen to the music.
overall, I'm very very pleased with it.
Great sound NOT SPLASH RESISTANT
The reason I bought this headset was mainly for running. I have used several bluetooth headsets in the past and I have always been disappointed because there is simply no sweatproof one yet.
Nokia claimed that it is sweat proof. Well sory Nokia it is not. It sounds great but it will last about 40 minutes if you sweat. And the human species does sweat when exercising. Luckily it worked again when it dried up so I gave it to my son.It sounds quite good with strong bass and has good design. I would not recommend it however for the gym or running. Dont believe anyone if claims that is sweat resistant.
