Nokia BH-905 review

 

There's no denying we like these over-ear Nokia's but bearing in mind their lack of apt-X and sky-high price, they struggle to keep up

Muscular and detailed sound ; comfortable ; good with dynamics

No apt-X support ; expensive

These don't sound bad at all, but they're overpriced, especially without apt-X support

Nokia BH-905i review

 

The BH-905is are very much aimed at travellers, and are the only set of headphones in this group test that provide active noise-cancellation circuitry. This will be particularly handy if you're trying to relax on a long plane flight, as will the...

If you just want a set of Bluetooth headphones for ordinary day-to-day use then there are cheaper options that provide comparable audio quality. However, the noise-cancelling features of the BH-905is and their extensive set of accessories make them a...

Review: Nokia BH-905 Bluetooth Stereo Headset

Nokia BH-905

 

The Nokia BH-905s offer audiophiles a viable stereo Bluetooth headset and a wired set with active noise cancellation in the same package.

Wired and wireless modes. Smooth wired sound, with balanced midrange and treble performance. Solid active noise cancellation. Very comfortable.

Poor sound in stereo Bluetooth mode. A little buggy. Lacks bass punch. Bulky case.

Nokia BH-905i Bluetooth Headset (Black) review: Nokia BH-905i Bluetooth Headset (Black)

 

While we love the idea of cord-free portable music, stereo Bluetooth headsets are often maligned with poor quality audio. Or at least, that's how it was in the past. Nowadays you can find stereo Bluetooth headsets with excellent sound quality, rivaling...

The Nokia BH-905 has a comfortable design, very good noise canceling, excellent audio quality, and it comes with an array of audio connections in case your device does not have stereo Bluetooth.

The active noise canceling on the Nokia BH-905 can take a second or two to activate. It's also very expensive.

In terms of audio quality and comfort, the Nokia BH-905 is certainly one of the best stereo Bluetooth headsets out there.
