Nokia HS-23 Original Stereo Headset

I found these sets far superior in sound and looks compared with Nokia's cheaper headset that came with my phone, I have always liked these headsets, I wear them all day everyday at work or at play, which means they have take a bit of a battering, I think this is the 5th set that I've bought but I've had the same mobile phone for about 5 years now, even though the price has gone up since I last bought a set, they are still good value, a high street NOKIA shop wanted about £30 I believe for them, utter ridiculous price certainly not worth that... My only gripe about the headsets are that the onboard volume control buttons have never worked (on my 6230i anyway) but I don't need that really when the phone is on my person anyway.....and the the earpiece-buds like tangling together when you put on/take off over your head, and the foam covers come off when you dont notice it... In short good sounding (Mp3's and calls) easy push button to activate voice dial is invaluable when making calls with your hands full/busy, and answering them under same conditions...

For some reason many Nokia phones do not come with a standard headphone jack; they come with a totally ridiculous scart-type jack. I bought this HS-23 for my Nokia 6230i. It was really good value for money. However, there is a slide on one side that seems to be for volume, but it doesn't work. Also, when a call comes in the headset give such massive feedback that I have to quickly disconnect the headset to take the call. But that is no problem for me because I use the phone mainly to play mp3s and for mobile internet. I recently bought a 2GB card for my 6230i and it has loads of music on it. So this headset is very good value for money - but you gets what you pays for.

It worked fine for a while then one side stop working . Other then that good product .
