Nokia has spent the past couple years heavily investing into the music industry with mobile devices and music services. This year Nokia has released the BH-905 stereo bluetooth headset which features not only bluetooth stereo streaming but also has a 3.5mm jack. The headset also has a noise canceling feature. I had the privilege of trying the BH-905 stereo headset on the show floor. On first impression the unit is light, sturdy and loud (hard to truly tell but the sound was loud and clear on the show floor, Id assume it would be fine for general home use). The unit does feature noise canceling which is activated with a flick of a switch. I wasn’t able to verify that this actually worked since when I flipped the switch nothing happened. Overall, I felt that the headset are a great investment for anyone who loves music but a bit pricey. The headset are available directly through Nokia and also online retailers. MSRP $299.99 USD
I have a pair of these headphones, they are superb, brilliant sound quality. I love them :-)
A lot of people get confused with the noise cancellation, mainly because Nokia don’t explain it properly. It’s designed to cancel ambient noise (noises at a consistent frequency) i.e. the rumble of engines when on an aeroplane or the sound of traffic. It doesn’t cancel voices etc as they’re not at a constant frequency although it will dampen it.
When you bear this in mind I find the noise cancellation to be extremely effective.
