Its difficult to see how small and discreet this really is. Not only is the design very futuristic but the build quality is superb. Ofcourse the syncing, battery life, call quality are all well above average. My only request is for Nokia to add the blue LED on the side where it is visible. The finger swipe volume control is innovative and extremely practical.
Because they were defective in one way or another. The battery life is most likely the best I can remember of all my sets. Why three months and three different Primes. Prior to this one, I spent nearly three months with three different Jawbone Primes. Nokia's BH-703 is the best headset I have owned yet. Jawbone. The controls are well placed and, in keeping a Jawbone comparison, much easier to use and don't stick (Jawbone's Noise Assassin button kept "stickking" on all three I had). It's light and barely noticeable (I forget it's on sometimes and my wife will ask me late at night how long I plan to keep it on).
I talk a lot on these things everyday - the BH-703 will last 2-3 days with heavy use and leaving on 24/7. The second simply stopped working after a few weeks and the third was the same as the first. I go through many of these whether due to loss or just looking for something better. Talk time is at least the claimed 6-hours. The first simply didn't give the quality or battery life claimed, which are two areas you would expect if paying a premium price. In contrast, this unit has excellent sound in all conditions including those that Jawbone exclaim (noise cancellation and wind). Lighter use, I've had it go over a week. Good luck getting a day out of it - this was the same on all three so poor battery life must actually be a "feature."Finally, Nokia always makes good, reliable products and has excellent warranty support (I haven't had to use warranty for this, but have owned many Nokia devices over the years).
Big miskake - the sound quality is very poor (lots of complaints from callers who never complained when I was using the Jawbone) - it's especially bad if you are outside and there is any wind, a condition under which the Jawbone performed well. Very disappointed with the product. I've also had two of the three earbuds that came with the headset just fall off over the course of the day, leaving me one ill-fitting set away from needing to acquire replacements. I had been using a Jawbone, but lost it. I decided to try something else since the Jawbone was the most expensive option where I was shopping (BestBuy iirc) and I liked the necklace-strap that comes with it, which I thought would be useful and reduce the chances of my misplacing this one as I had done with the Jawbone. Further, the strap is about an inch too short to reach comfortably to my ear when around my neck. When the last earbud inevitably falls off, I'll go back to a Jawbone or try another option after asking around.
Even though it is really small it has great sound and it has a lot of secrets that make it a very good option although I think it is a little expensive but fancy anyway.
