Nokia BH-101


(3.5 out of 5)

MSRP: $39.95


This Bluetooth headset won’t fit everyone like a glove, but it offers fine voice quality for the price.

Review date: Jul 7, 2008

We’ll cut to the chase: we like the Nokia BH-101. In a market saturated with cheap-looking and poorly performing headsets, this $40 earpiece stands out, thanks to its tasteful design and reliable call quality. Compact Design Like the Samsung WEP310, the BH-101 stands out, ironically, thanks to its small size. Although it appears shorter than the WEP310, it’s stockier, with a thickness of 0.8 inches. The black rubbery face and silver rim will blend in anywhere and look less conspicuous than most of the other headsets of its ilk. Although the rubber-coated hooks felt comfortable around our ears, the wide-set ear piece couldn’t fit comfortably in our ear, which made it feel too loose. The large Answer/End button on the front is easy to press, as is the volume lever on the side. Oddly, the button for turning on the headset is located on the underside (and it’s tiny, to boot).

ProsCons
  • Classic, compact design
  • Reliable voice quality
  • Easily adjustable volume
  • Earpiece too wide to fit inside most ears
  • Short Bluetooth range
