If you like Bluetooth headsets then check out Mobile Burn’s review of the Nokia BH-800.

Some snippets:

We found the MFB was easy to use and gave good feedback without causing even the slightest amount of discomfort whilst wearing the headset. The power button was a bit small for our tastes and a person with large fingers could find it quite difficult to press. The volume rocker was very smooth, easy to use, and was accompanied by either an ascending or descending tone depending on whether you were increasing or decreasing the volume.

Aesthetically, the only thing that did not impress was the optional ear loop. It looks like a very cheap, thin piece of wire and detracts from the elegant and professional look the rest of the headset so effortlessly portrays. The ear loop does support both right and left ear use, and while it is not the nicest looking ear loop, it gave one of the most secure fits we have come across. Adjusting the ear loop to your exact requirements was a little frustrating, but once it was adjusted correctly, it provided a very secure fit. The BH-800 can be used without the ear loop, but we found it to be a little too insecure for our tastes.

The earpiece is an in ear type, but it rests more against the entry of the ear rather than protruding into the canal.

The battery in the BH-800 comes with a manufacturer rating of 150 hours standby time, while our talk time battery test yielded 6:25 (hh:mm). Charging the battery from empty to full takes just two hours and the LED atop the unit gives an indication of the charge status.

For US$100, the Plantronics Discovery 655 is a very similar product with more noise reduction.

While the headset is amazingly attractive and comfortable, the lack of noise reduction, small power button, and large price tag result in a rating of just Recommended.
