E71 Bluetooth 602 headset review

I�ve had this headset (BH-602) connected to my E1 7 for a month and thought I�d share some insight having also considered the Jawbone and owned other Nokia / third party Bluetooth headsets.

Interested to know is any others have this and their thoughts on this set compared to the Jawbone which I very nearly bought instead. Only thing made me buy 602 was 15 mins charge time.

Battery life is great, 15 mins charge lasts all-day with 4-5 hours of calls.

Noise cancellation is also very good. In the car with window open it effectively cancels out the noise. At normal car noise level (ie�; not windows open) it�s indistinguishable from the phone and cancels out background noise.

Auto volume: excellent.

Size, it�s way too large, taking up half the face. It can be worn without the ear-loop by pushing the soft rubbery earphone into the ear, it won�t move and it sit�s pretty tight like this and it�s comfortable.

Flashing blue light to show Bluetooth connectivity is a bit 70�s but it can be switched off.

The call quality both for recipients and listening is excellent and I�ve been told even better than the phone itself due to noise cancellation performance.

Overall then, for the price (and for me) excellent value and flawless performance, the size is a fashion disaster, but I never wear outside office / car.
