Here we are again with another stereo Bluetooth headset courtesy of WOMWorld/Nokia , the most awesome guys in the world 
. After having used the device for over 3 weeks now , we have a pretty strong opinion about the headset and we’re bring you the entire breakdown in this post. Lets start off with the mandatory unboxing images.
Packaging
The Nokia BH505s come in a pretty slick packaging with a focus on minimalism. You basically get a plastic blister pack with the headset fully visible and a box with all included accessories.
The accessories included in the packaging are 6 pairs of plastic ear buds of varying sizes namely small , medium , large. You also get a travel charger with the headset and a pair of manuals.
Audio Quality
If you have read our previous post regarding the Nokia BH905, you would know that we were extremely impressed by the headset. It was incredible comfortable and sounded great. The BH505 is a behind-the-ear type headset with in ear speakers so the general experience of using this is very different from the BH905.
Having used several Bluetooth headsets we were not really impressed by the BH505. The noise isolation is pretty good but then that is a given considering the in-ear design of the speaker buds. Our audio tests were focussed primarily on music playback considering this is a stereo Bluetooth headset. We did not like what we heard though, the audio quality came out harsh and bass was quite boomy. We noticed that the highs in the audio were a bit too bright for our taste coming out very harsh and causing fatigue while listening. Bass was present but we had to really push in the buds to hear it properly and this too was an unnecessary strain. We could easily get over 15 hours of continuous music playback from the headset. Audio quality during calls was crisp and clear.
Comfort Level
Comfort level was a very interesting topic of discussion. After having spoken to several bloggers about it, we have come to the conclusion that the headset seems to have been designed keeping the European market in mind. Funny thing is that all my European blogger friends found the headset extremely comfortable with Jay Montano from MyNokiaBlog even going as far as calling it the best and most comfortable headset he had ever used. On the other hand Clinton Jeff from ZomgItsCj and several other bloggers from India who tested the device seemed to agree with me on the fact that this headset actually hurts while wearing. Could this be the reason that this particular headset has not been launched outside the European market ?
Coincidently, the box highlights the BH505 as a lightweight headset but we found that the rear band which houses the battery was actually pulling down on the headset while wearing it and this caused the headset to hurt our ears while using it.
Final Remarks
In our opinion , the BH505 looks extremely gorgeous but falls short on the audio quality and comfort front. This is one headset where we really don’t know whether to recommend it or not as we have conflicting opinions on comfort levels. It is best that you should try out the device for yourself and see how much you like it. At $50, these headsets are priced very well to be competitive in the market.
