Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

If you have a Bluetooth phone, and you want a quality headset with great features and style to spare, look no further than the HS-4W. This headset frees you up by allowing you to handle calls directly from your headset. Plus, with its unique design, it's comfortable enough to wear all day. And because it has a 30-foot range, you can leave your phone in your briefcase, purse, or across the room.

The HS-4W is easy to pair with any phone that supports the Bluetooth 1.1 specification (including the Nokia 9500, 9300, 7610, 7280, 6822, 6820, 6682, 6651, 6620, 6600, 6310i, 6255i, 6230, 3660, 3650, 3620 and 3600). You can use its Send/End button to make and disconnect calls, or use the automatic redial function for calls that don't go through. You can even control call volume directly from the headset. Meanwhile, handy multi-colored LEDs on the unit indicate an active Bluetooth connection, call status, and low battery life. The HS-4W boasts up to six hours of talk time on a single charge and you'll get up to 160 hours of standby time. The headset's rechargeable lithium-ion battery charges in just three hours with a standard Nokia phone charger (not included).

Of course, no headset is any good if it isn't comfortable. The HS-4W has you covered there, too. The contoured ear-hook gives the headset a secure, ergonomic behind-the-ear fit. And with a weight of just .74 ounces, you'll forget you're even wearing it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, a decent performer., December 7, 2004

It is a stylish, one piece design, lay flat in the pocket, of a bluetooth headset.

I've been using Bluetooth headset for about 4 years now; Motorola is OK but short talk and standby time. Sony Ericsson is pretty good, but not too sturdy. Jabra has a charger loose connector problem. Nokia? So far, so good.

Mind you, bluetooth headset provides only a paired connection to the cell phone, the rest is performed by the phone; if a phone has voice dialing, than you can use it to do voice dialing, just make sure it is enabled on the phone. Once it is enabled, the button on the headset acts as the call/hang up button on the phone.

My Sony Ericsson S700i does not have re-dial voice command, but this Nokia headset can send 2 beeps to have the phone perform such function, not bad!

One good thing about this headset is that it will connect to the nearest previously paired phone without re-pairing again like the other headset. That is good if you have 2 or more phones with bluetooth like I do. I paired each phone individually with the headset, and carry only one phone at a time, but always carry the headset, and I can use it with either phone without pairing again.

Item works great indoors but the sound is too quiet, I thought about having my hearing checked but after reading other reviews I learned its not just me. I work in building construction with lots of loud noises and can't hear unless I press it unconfortabally into my ear. Do not recomend

3.0 out of 5 stars sound quality a disappointment, February 8, 2006

This review is from: Nokia HS-4W Bluetooth Headset (Wireless Phone Accessory)

I loved the comfort and ease of use of this headset. I especially liked that I could use my Nokia chargers for it. Some drawbacks after about 3 months use were: the volume was always too low! Even at the highest level, (and my excellent hearing)I had to press the ear mike into my ear while talking. This made my "hands free" a "one-handed earpiece". The function buttons on the top side of the earpiece were a problem to find while driving. All the buttons were tiny and felt the same - adjustments were troublesome. The answer/hangup function on the bottomside of the boom was convenient however, as was the comfort of the piece and the fact that I did not have a plastic/rubber thing in my ear (which I find distasteful). The charge time did not seem to match the specs. The piece had to be recharged frequently and did not hold much of a charge between uses. In all, I would actually put up with the shortcomings again in exchange for the comfort and design but the volume issue is a disapointing dealbreaker.
