the product shipped in a reasonable time, packaged well. Was suppose to get an [...] rebate but no info came with the package so still not sure what to do about that.

Tried a different one and it would not link with the iPhone. This one works just fine.

I’ve had plenty of trouble in the past with various bluetooth headsets not fitting very well or snugly on my ear, and having the tendency to fall off (either due to the bulkiness of the body or the flimsy design of the earhook). This particular headset fits very well and securely on my ear, partly due to its lightness, and partly to its silicone earpad-ring design, which comes in three different sizes–once I chose the specific-sized earpad (or earloop) that best fit my outer ear, I’ve found the headset to be quite comfortable and to fit very well; unlike with the previous couple bluetooths I’ve owned, I can now turn my head quickly or lean my head without feeling like the whole thing will fall off. You can definitely put this on and forget it’s there after a while because of its lightness and snug fit.
Sound quality-wise, I find the microphone voice quality is decent. I recorded my voice and played it back and compared the sound quality of various bluetooths, and the Nokia sounds good, although perhaps soft/muffled in terms of the high-end, treble portion of the sonic range. Compared to my Motorola H3 for example, the Nokia is a little too muffled in terms of treble response from what I can tell, although the bass response is definitely better and more abundant. It may come down to a matter of taste, and it may just be a difference of sound signature, but I personally prefer something with more prominent high-end/treble, as it makes the voice sound clearer and more understandable.
There is a built-in DSP voice-isolating and background noise-reducing function/filter, and it works to reduce background noise to some degree to allow your voice to come through clearer to the person whom you’re talking to, but probably not as well as a true noise-reducing headset with dual-microphone technology.

I’m very pleased with this headset. It’s comfortable and can be customized for a secure fit, easy to connect, great battery life, clear communication and most importantly for me, the volume is GREAT! This is the first headset I’ve had where I have to turn the volume down. Ant the price was very reasonable too.
The only drawback is the fact that the power button is very small, but once use to it, it represents no issue to turn on or off.
I would highly recommend this item.

This bluetooth from Nokia works well with my Samsung Instinct S30. I like the adjustability of the ear hook. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because of a little quirk it seems to have once in awhile. Sometimes when you use the button to disconnect from a call the BH-216 turns itself off and you don’t realise it until the next time you go to use it and it won’t connect. This only happens rarely and other than that it works well.
