5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic client for both phone call and music, October 8, 2009

I purchased it about 3 weeks ago, simply like this client.
It works pretty well with TP2, music playback is smooth, no drop-off within effective range; voice calls is very good too, the microphone is very good and clear, and rather sensitive that you don't need to put close.
It has very good music quality, and rather loud with Sennheiser PXC150, not all audio player can drive this headphones, but this one can, and I just turn up a bit and get the maximum volume. It can connect to last host by pressing play button without to mess with host, and it can play up to 7 hours as claimed.
The build feels OK, the clip is made by plastic and it's not movable, and is likely to break, it can hold well on fleece or jacket, but it's loose on shirt pocket.
If you want to have a good bluetooth stereo client, this is one for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars BH-214: Great Product! The User Review., August 9, 2010

The Nokia BH-214 works great! First and foremost, the device is easy to use. I've connected it to my EVO4 (primary device), my MacBook Pro, and my NetBook (running Windows XP) with no issues what so ever. The device is easy to detect, easy to connect, and holds the connection very well. I get roughly 7 hours of battery life with a single charge which gets me through a whole business day. Second, the BH-214 not an amplifier. However, the sound quality is very good for music and the stereo reception for voice calls is also very good. Finally, the BH-214 works great with both my phone and music applications (doubleTwist) for my phone. I am very happy with performance (all the buttons work without issue - especially for doubleTwist). Some people have complained about it not working with other applications, but I am quite sure its the applications that aren't working with the BH-214.

Now the reason it gets only four stars. First, the device is very small and very light. You can clip it near the buttons of your polo or dress shirt (vertically) to your shirt, but clipping it to a pocket (horizontally) is more challenging as the buttons are then difficult to then use. Small and lightweight also makes the BH-214 feel cheap and rather fragile. I feel like I could break off the clip without much effort (I haven't yet, and I am quite hard on my things). While it doesn't pull on your clothes, it doesn't feel overly secure either. Second, the buttons are somewhat challenging to use. The power button has to be pressed hard for a couple of seconds to turn on or off. The volume buttons (on the side) require you to press and repress to lower the volume two levels (as opposed to pressing it once and having it automatically lower the volume one level at a time). The buttons on the face of the device are slick and easy to slide over and miss. Finally, microphone for voice calls is difficult to use outdoors as it does pick up background noise. This is probably the biggest issue with the BH-214 is that street noise will seriously impact the voice quality (not just a small impact - make calls very difficult for the person on the other end of the conversation).

Overall, I am impressed. I am happy with the device. I wished it did a better job of blocking background noise for voice calls. I give it four stars.

This review is from: Nokia Bluetooth Stereo Headset with Detachable Headphones - White (Wireless Phone Accessory)

this item is the best bluetooth item i have bought. it is much better than any of the sonys i tried. the sound volume will go as loud as you want it. I did not like the other brands because the volume wouldnt cover the lawn mower noice.. So basicly worthless..i use these alot while mowing the lawn. with the sony i could barely hear the music. however these are plenty loud. big difference. the battery life is good. I have only had them 2 weeks, but i will keep you posted. It has been 5 months still working great I use these everyday. My car stereo got stolen, so these get alot of use.. I love this product and it has now made me a loyal nokia customer. I dont like the on off switch, however still a great product for me. March 20 2011.. They still work fine. however now almost 2 years old. The battery no longer charges all the way. I still can mow for 5 hours straight with them on. I can mow 8 hours if i plug them in the car charger between jobs.. The power button feels like its dieing. Real spongy..So they still work great but the battery is starting to die. I will see if i can figure out how to get a new battery in here. If not i predict this will be there last mowing season..
