Any how, they are the best value bluetooth headsets I have tried! I also tried the Sennheiser MM 450s, but they weren't any better than the Nokia BH 905s which were 40% of the price of the Sennheisers!

Thanx, I heard they are nice but I also heard that until the FW update they had serious performance issues as well.

For my purposes, I'm just looking for a MONO headset for phone calls.

I have a Jabra BT-530 and it seems to work perfectly. Nice clear sound.

I am not sure what kind of "performance" problems you are referring to! If you mean the problem with if WIFI is on, the new firmware update improved the bluetooth experience quite a bit but it still has "hiccups".

Otherwise, the Nokia BH-905s + Nokia N900 works great together (I use them 10+ hours a day as I am on the phone constantly / listening to my 35+GB of MP3s)!

Best Regards,

Shane

I've got a pair Nokia BH-504 earphones. They work really well and sound nice. I'm not that picky when it comes to sound quality though so what sounds good to me might not be good to you.

I have a Nokia BH-214 which works and sounds great! The buttons also control the media player perfectly which is a bonus.

The BH-214 also allows you to use any headphones you want with them which I liked, although the stock Nokia ones are fine.

Also the latest firmware seems to fixed some minor stuttering issues I noticed previously everything now plays smoothly.

I second this. The BH-214 works great.

A couple of added bonuses:

1. You can swap in your own headphones if you don't like the stock buds
2. You can use it as a remote control for the media player in conjunction with the FM transmitter. Very handy for skipping to the next track in the car without having to fumble with the N900 touchscreen.

The Nokia BH-501 are good.
I use them when cycling, as the behind-neck arm does not obstruct the helmet, and it does not block external noise like the stock earphones.
(Or at least they should be blocking the ear canal, to get decent bass.)

Volume buttons work. Now I just need a way to pause the music from the headset. They are cheap on ebay (here at least), as Nokia flooded the market bundling them with phones some time back.

I like my 590A'a comfortable, and sound good, just the size and that blue ring flash I would never wear them in public

I use my Motorola S9-HD for athletic stuff and being out, if I know I am not going to be moving about I will use the corded earbuds (logitech ultimate ears triple.fi 10 pro)

Im interested in trying the Jabra unit that uses the dogtag receiver and then plugging in my ultimate ears earbuds and seeing how well that works.
