Music while I work (out) with the Nokia BH-604 Headset

Advantages: good battery life, same charger as many nokia phone models, good sound
Disadvantages: a bit heavy, large

...I had been looking for a pair of wireless stereo headphones for a while so I could use them with my mobile phone at the gym, and round the office. Not being tethered to something with a wire is obviously quite important for at the gym! Over the ear Bluetooth stereo headsets seem to be quite hard to find, so when this was on Amazon at a reasonable price, I leapt at the chance. I use this headset with my Nokia mobile phone which is the source of the music... Of course, you don't have to have a Nokia phone, just one that supports Bluetooth wireless headsets! The item arrived with a Nokia standard charger (the new size with the tiny connector), a protective cloth bag for the headphones, the headphones (obviously) and a printed manual. The headphones have various buttons on the right earpiece for controlling the phone - answer a call...

Nokia HS-4W Bluetooth Headset

Advantages: Easy to use and connect
Disadvantages: Other people can hear what you say

...The best thing I found with the headset was how easy it was to connect to my phone (nokia 6230). The clarity whilst having conversations is great and the the way it fits onto my ear was confortable. If you have any problems using it, the manual provided has the answers. The biggest disadvantage of the headset is that other people can hear your conversation. The reason for this is that the headset can be used on your left or right ear, and has a speaker on each side. This is not so bad if you turn the volume setting to low. The headset can be charged using most nokia chargers and doesn't take too long to charge. The headset can also be used with more than one phone. I believe it was a good buy. I bought the headset to use whilst driving, and it does exactly what I expected. I can keep the phone in my pocket and answer any call...

Logi's Ultra-Dynamic Headset 20

Advantages: Stylish, modern design. Good quality mic and audio. Very comfortable.
Disadvantages: Slightly flimsy.

...Logitech have, over the years built themselves a reputation for providing low price but high standard hardware. Namely speakers, microphones, headphones and mice among many others pieces of kit. One of their newer products is a headset. Its rather bland name being "Headset 20" , don't let this deter you however, as Logitech's Headset 20 is quite possibly the finest sound/mic combo you can buy for under 30 pounds. Read on to find out why. Intro I came across the new headset while browsing for christmas gifts earlier this month. I'd pretty much decided on what to buy everyone, with the exception of my cousin. Now, my cousin is probably even more of a computer nerd than myself, I'd remembered he'd mentioned lacking a decent headset to go with his new creative labs soundcard. And so began the hunt for a decent headset for under...

Review of Logitech Stereo USB Headset 20 Headset

Great Headset

Advantages: Clear sound
Disadvantages: None

...- wired * Recommended Use: PC multimedia, videoconferencing system, conference IP phone * Headphones Type: Headphones - binaural * Headphones Form Factor: Semi-open * Connectivity Technology: Wired * Sound Output Mode: Stereo * Response Bandwidth: 20 - 20000 Hz * Microphone: Boom * Microphone Operation Mode: Mono * Sensitivity: -38 dBV/Pascal *Cable Length 3.94 ft. *Weight: 118 g Verdict Logitech Dialog 812 Headset is a great device. The rubberized headband is soft and comfortable with a double-band that keeps it from slipping from my head. I love the earpieces that deliver high-quality sound output. My 2-year-old kid tore the foam fittings but it didn't actually affect the sound output though the loss of foam fittings made the earpieces slip from my ears sometimes. It is comfortable to wear this headset though it...

Review of Logitech Dialog 812 Headset

Does what it says on the tin!

Advantages: Good value for money, effective, good sound quality, comfortable
Disadvantages: Perhaps somewhat flimsy; but nothing much to report

...The Labtec® 242 is an affordable, yet extremely effective headset. My Experience For computer novices like myself it's easy to use, lightweight (but not flimsy), comfortable and efficient. Buying (inexpensive) headsets is a tricky business; many are delicate and frail, susceptible to background noise or cramped and uncomfortable. Not this one - not in my experience, at least. Positives Foamed headphones and an adjustable headband mean you'll barely notice it, which, in my experience, is a good thing. You get good stereo output; only a bad thing when you miss being called for dinner or the phone ringing! I use it for everything from PC games and watching films to playing music and Skype conversations: it's extremely useful and adaptable to whatever you need it to do. On the box in which it comes there...

Review of Labtec Stereo 242 Headset

logical buy for my needs

Advantages: Cheap, Stylish, good sound
Disadvantages: little bulky for carrying around

...are after ultra high qualty headphones, I would suggest looking at bose and the likes. The headphones perform well giving good clarity of sound, I listen to all types of music fromm classical to heavy rock , and have played all types through theese headphones and not been disappointed with the sound. The headphones will play music at a good volume before the sound becomes distorted, and the stereo sound is of a high quality. The response bandwidth is supposed to be 20-20000 Hz The microhone again records well, my main use has been with voice recognition in office appications, and it works exceptionally well with this, after the intitial set up and training it has performed faultlesly, allowing me to plough through assignments for college. Robustness, again the headset has performed exceptionally well, it is nearly 12 months old...

Review of Logitech Premium Stereo Headset Headset

Pain in the ear

Advantages: Good sound quality, decent mike, easy to use, good looking
Disadvantages: Extended use leaves your ears in immense pain

...As a Logitech fan I was very hopeful when I first got hold of this headset. Features The Logitech headset has a number of good features. These include a microphone so the headset can be used for phone conversations over Skype or to record voice. The cord is very long as well (about 2 meters) so you should have no problems plugging it in and moving around. It also has a volume control and mute switch to allow external control. This saves you having to adjust this digitally which is also very welcome. Sound The Logitech headset is aimed at the budget end of the market and if you are a sound connoisseur you will be wanted to look at a more expensive headset. However, the sound quality of the headset is good. Both the base and treble sound solid and it doesn't struggle in either range. Playing music or watching movies...

Nokias most recent attack on i-phone succes or failure

Advantages: memory
Disadvantages: touchscreen

...as a owner and user of the nokia n97 i can say i am overall very happy with the improvements that nokia have made on previous models i.e N96 and N95. Lets face it all of us who went from owning an N95 to what nokia seem to believe was a better model (N96) were extremely dissapointed as although looking good on paper the N96 failed to meet the standards of its pre- deccesor but i am glad to say nokia have redeemed themselves on the launch of the N97. There have been many improvements made on previous models i.e the processor is alot faster and the slow transitions between menus has been completely iradicated due to the massive 32Gb memory which can still be increased to a huge 48GB by the handy memory slot tucked away under the rear cover of the phone. Another improvement on previous models is the slider mechanism after a few minor issues...

Review of Nokia N97

on headsets

Advantages: comfy all day wear
Disadvantages: loud feedback

...This headset is a bit expensive for its quality. Although i bought mine outside the country for a considerable lesser price, had i known better, i would have bought a wireless one. It is still functional after two years. I lost both of the voice tube microphone cover though and i think that is whats causing too much echo when i talk and too much mic sensitivity. That also causes alot of feed back so i have to press on mute all the time, and everytime i am done speaking, to avoid the feedbacks. On the upside it supports all Plantronics amplifiers and USB-to-headset adapters so i guess i just have to get one. It is also comfortable to wear for long hours. I would not recommend to get leatherette ear cushions, that made my ears sweat and itchy eeks....

Review - The Nokia N97 vs The iPhone 3GS

Advantages: Good Looking, Durable, Huge Memory, Very Very Good QWERTY keyboard
Disadvantages: Tiny processor leading to lag and application crashes

... The Nokia N97 Nokia have announced the follow up to their 5800 XpressMusic touchscreen phone. The Nokia N97, which utilises a 3.5 inch touchscreen and slide out QUERTY keyboard. Appearance The overall design of the N97 is not at all unique, looking like the lovechild of a Google G1 and Apple iPhone, comparisons have also been drawn to the AT&T Tilt, and rightly so. Despite Nokia's lack of imagination the N97 is a nice looking thing, apart from a small button in the bottom left corner, the 3.5 inch touchscreen dominates and looks sleek and well designed. When the QUERTY keyboard is slid out the screen sits at an angle, looking remarkably like the HTC TyTN. The N97 is both larger and thicker than the iPhone, which isn't exactly inconspicuous itself, this makes the N97 feel a little too large, especially...
