Not the same item it used to be. I've owned two of these headsets before purchasing this one, but despite being the same model number the one I just recieved was different. It is made with noticably cheaper plastic, the audio quality is much poorer with music, and worst of all the volume button is no longer a button. It is a piece of plastic that serves no more purpose than filling the spot where the volume button was previously. At times I get a buzzing sound that can be heard in the earpiece, and by those that I am calling. The headset looks identical in pictures, but for some reason Nokia has begun constructing these differently. At least it wasn't expensive.
I'll keep buying these as long as they keep making them... I think this is my third set of these headphones. The first set are on a train somewhere between here and Timbuktu. The second pair didn't survive a turn through the washing machine. But, I'm hoping it'll be third time lucky.
Why do I keep getting them? Because they work! 1) They give stereo sound to your calls and music. 2) They stay around your neck when you are not using them (perhaps not "attractive" but its great when driving and you want to answer a call) 3) They take a beating and keep working.
But, be forewarned: They don't get extremely loud, so forget about listening to music on the subway (hence only four stars). If you want to do that, get an adaptor and some noise cancelling headphones. But, if you plan on only using these in quiet to moderately loud environments, they work perfectly. And for the price, you don't even have to worry about them taking a turn through the washer...
Good buy Great price, sound is nice with enough volume, also enables me to change radio stations on my 6085 Really the only drawback is that the mic will rub up against your shirt causing unnecessary noise, shame its not provided with a clip.
would not purchase again Too much noise cause from microphone rubbing on clothes-cannot adjust to avoid. People on other end cannot hear clearly: sounds muffled, distant or cuts out completely. Must hold microphone to mouth for people to hear better-which defeats "hands-free" purpose. I end up disconnecting and just using phone alone.
works ok I bought this so I could listen to the radio on my phone and as a back-up for my Bluetooth headset. It works well for the radio, but people complain about the loud noise the microphone makes when it rustles against my shirt when I use it as a hands-free headset. There doesn't seem to be a way to adjust the microphone height to prevent this. Also, the cord and wires going to the earpieces get tangled very easily. I suppose I shouldn't complain given it only cost a few bucks.
