Nokia HS-47 Headset

This headset works with the newer Nokia mobile phones. It allows you to listen to the radio, MP3 or even phone calls, hands free, and privatly.
Available in either Black or White they simply plug into the bottom of your mobile phone, nothing could be simpler. On the microphone part, there is a button that allows you to make calls or skip music tracks/radio stations.

Please note, this Nokia headset only works with Nokia phones.


*Other headsets are available.*

These come with the nokia 6500 slide phone. They are inferior to other nokia earphones such as the HS-23Which do more.
The rubber surround on the earpiece comes off so easily, usually on your clothing.I've found that by putting a sponge cover over them will cure this problem but you'll have to find some from an old set as not supplied. There is no volume control. I've used the voice control button but found the Voice reply too quiet to hear, so cannot rely on voice dial from the headset. I also don't like the fact that these are not looped and that the longest earpiece has to be draped around the back of your neck. It comes off too easily and then the whole lot ends up trailing and getting caught.
They could be louder, but are not quiet. I usually have the radio on but hate that I can't have a good song pumping mega volume!

If i could find another set or make of earphones that is compatible with my phone, I would NOT buy these(please advise me if you find some). They are cheap though and you get what you pay for!! If you're having to buy some, get 2 pairs as they don't last long either,they break easily.

I purchased these headphones to replace the set that came with my Nokia 6300. (The cable was mangled in a train door. Better that than my neck!)

The headphones aren't the most comfortable, nor the most responsive in terms of bass and treble. (Some MP3 recordings can sound 'tinny', although this will have as much to so with the original production mix and bitrate of the particular MP3 file.)

But for listening to the radio on your Nokia they work pretty well. A neat feature: by pressing the button on the microphone you can switch between your favourite radio stations and skip forward to the next track during MP3 playback.

So overall, if you use your Nokia 6300 or similar as an occassional MP3 player or radio, they do the job pretty well. As headphones in their own right? Not so good.

Great headphones with excellent sound quality. Nifty in-line clicky button allows you to answer calls and even re-tunes your radio for you if the reception is poor and your hands are busy ! A ruberised ring around the earpiece also helps to keep the headphones in your ears - much better than the shiny plastic ones that keep dropping out if you're jogging / running. The only question I have of Nokia is why is the jack so small ? Not a standard or common size jack but maybe that's why they do it - make you buy their kit !

Essential piece of equipment if you have a Nokia phone since most use the cord as antenna for the built in FM radio.
The set works very well, the cord with its fairly good length let s keep the phone in your pocket while conversing or listening the radio or your music.
The set also includes the replay button which makes the need to reach for the phone hardly necessary.
The low price makes it easy to replace even if the build quality and the durability will allow you to use this headset for long time, probably longer than the phone itself.
