This is a good headset for Nokia phones. I have the Nokia 3120 and had a hard time finding a headset with acceptable audio quality. I like the answer/end button, you don't have to search for the phone to answer a call, and it is quite comfortable to wear.

2.0 out of 5 stars Strange shape, doesn't fit the ear., August 25, 2006

This review is from: Nokia HDB-4 Boom Headset (Wireless Phone Accessory)

I used to have old Nokia phone and 3.5mm headset which came with it worked ok for me. New one didn't have headset packaged in so I needed to buy one. The price of HDB-4 seemed to be right so I went ahead and purchased one.

First problem I discovered is that this headset doesn't really fit either of my ears. I guess it's designed to be used in any ear and it is flat because of that. This shape doesn't help it fit my ears properly and I get this feeling that it's just hanging next to my ear rather being in it. I've seen people reporting similar problems with stereo Nokia headsets as well.

Also since sound comes from either side of a headset I believe people next to me can hear my conversation (not sure if it is true).

Another painful experience is using HDB-4 with glasses. To put it over the ear properly one should remove glases first. Putting glasses on with a headset is not comfortable at all (So stick with earbud if you wear glasses).
Sound quality is reasonably good. When I'm indoors people can hear me Ok. Outdoors I had people complaining but I'm not sure if headphone were ones to blame.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great audio quality, December 2, 2006

Easy to use and simple design. Rubberized loop stays put and is comfortable. Very good audio quality on both ends of conversation. No volume control and chord could be just a bit longer, but on/off switch is very convenient. For the cost, great addition to my NOKIA 3587i phone.
