Manufacturer's Description
Invest in increased efficiency, greater freedom of movement, and a major upgrade in mobile style with the Nokia Wireless Headset. This compact headset is equipped with a wireless connection, giving you hands-free control over your mobile phone without the need for obtrusive cables or wires. Designed for both looks and comfort, the earpiece fits inconspicuously in either ear, allowing you convenient and discreet access to all basic call controls-whether your phone is stashed away in your golf bag or lying on a table nearby. In addition to freedom of movement, the Nokia Wireless Headset gives you freedom of choice. Because its wireless connection is based on the internationally recognized Bluetooth standard, the headset is compatible with a wide range of Bluetooth-equipped phones from Nokia and other manufacturers.The Nokia Wireless Headset matches Nokia's distinct design with advanced Bluetooth technologies to offer you ingenious and easy control over calls. The Answer/End button lets you take and make calls, redial, and switch the audio back and forth between the handset and headset. A separate volume control lets you raise and lower the call volume as you move from place to place - from bedroom to boardroom, cafe to conference, or presentation to party. Phones that support voice dialing are usually a good match for the Nokia Wireless Headset. Just activate voice dialing and then let your voice direct your call while your hands are freed. To maximize call security, the headset also supports encryption of the wireless connection for compatible phone models.

Customer Reviews
Don't buy: the ear clip breaks and parts are unavailable
Call quality is good, it is light on the ear and battery life is acceptable. Only problem (and it is a big one!) the ear clips keep breaking. I purchased two of these for my wife and I and both have broken.
Replacement ear clip parts are also impossible to find in the UK. I have been bounced around SEVEN different Nokia numbers this morning and no one can/wants to help. Nokia's customer service is non terrible.
You'd be well advised to buy a sturdier product and avoid this inevitable expense.
Nokia HDW 2 - Very, very poor
Full of style - very short on substance!
I've had mine for a while - it crackles badly in use, reularly disconnects from my Nokia 3650 with no apparent reason, speech quality is dismal, and worst of all the ear clips break for a pastime. The plastic on the clips seems to separate - thi is clearly a design or manufacturing fault - that fact that replacements are in such short supply demonstrates this.
Nokia's customer sevice is non-existent as far as I can see, and they refuse to acknowledge there's any fault at all.
My advice to Amazon customer's - this product is a 5 star piece of junk - don't buy one! - you'd be better of with two cans and a piece of string.
What a waste of money !!!
This was the 1st bluetooth headset I bought and I wish I'd done more research. THIS NOKIA IS A COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY. Seriously, avoid this one at all costs - the battery life is appalling and you'll be lucky to get a 20 minute conversation out of it before it starts beeping at you telling you to recharge it. For the money, go for something like a Jabra - much better value, longer battery life (week of use between charges and I average 1000 miles per week for business with it on all day) and will work with any make of phone unlike the Nokia.
