Nokia HS-23 Original Stereo Headset

Inexpensive and made by Nokia! Works perfectly with my Nokia 6133. When playing the 6133 in Music Player or Radio mode, and someone is calling you, just press the NOKIA buttom on the set, the music/radio will suspend and you are switched to conversation mode. After conversation, just press the NOKIA buttom again, you are back to music/radio mode. The wire is thicker than most ear-bud headset (so it is efficient and will last). Sound quality for music is smooth (much better than my other ear-bud of MP3 players). The sound quality for phone conversation is also far better than the speaker phone of 6133. I only wish I have bought it earlier.The only complaint --- the NOKIA buttom can only "advance" one-way to next radio station or next song track. I must use telephone keypad if I want to select station or song backward. Additionally, I wish I can do fast forward/backward within the track in music player mode --- this cannot be done either via the headset nor via keypad. Despite the complaint, I still give it 5 stars because it is great accessary!

This product came to me in a timely manner and worked very well. More stations came in on my phone then my car radio. I recommend this product for everybody who has a Nokia 6085, and the price was amazing.

Besides freeing your hands when using the loudspeaker would be impossible or embarrassing, this headset is also the only way you can use the radio and music player functions of the cell phone. Very well designed and built, it includes a volume key in the microphone piece. Fitting the foam protectors on the earbuds is a bit tricky, so go gently not to rip them. In all, a big convenience for almost no price.

This product works. Its has quality sound and it also allows the radio to work well.

Con - Within a hour of arrival the plastic pegs on the connector broke off in the phone. They seem to be a very brittle plastic, rather than a more durable nylon type of material. The volume control also did not work from arrival. I will not return it as shipping costs more than the product. Very flimsy for a Nokia branded item.Pro - The stereo sound was fine, not exceptional. The antenna worked well for the radio and had good reception. I also liked the around neck loop (antenna) that holds the ear buds rather than the traditional clip. I am not sure if any other headset for my 6085 will work with the radio and have the same features.

I purchased this as a replacement for the wired earbuds/microphone that came with my Nokia 6133. And as a replacement, it doesn't quite do the job. When compared to the original headset:* There is no volume control on the cable, as there is on the Nokia headset. This means you have to use the volume controls on the phone. On my phone, this forces me to either turn off the automatic keylock, or unlock it every time I want to change the volume. It does still have the command button on the cord, however.* The earbuds don't come with any foam covers, are very large, and an awkward shape, so they don't stay in my ears well at all.* The microphone doesn't seem to be as good - the voice dial feature on my phone isn't recognizing my commands as well as with the original microphone.* It is much flimsier - after a few days of light use, the cable sheathing broke away where it connects to the plug, and now it's connected only by the thin inner wires themselves. You could swing the phone around with the original Nokia headset, and not have any problems like this.It does have a few of advantages over the Nokia headset, though:* Because it's an adapter for any headphones with a standard 3.5mm jack, you can use your own favorite headphones/earbuds, instead of the supplied buds or the ones permanently connected to the Nokia headset. Or even use it to connect the phone to a stereo or external speakers for playback.* To help keep it from being pulled out of your ears, it has a clip instead of a necklace, so there's less tangling.* Much less expensive than the Nokia headset.

I've had just about five pairs of these earbuds. I know it's ridiculous of me to keep purchasing them, but they're the only headset that function with the Nokia 6133 and having the ability to hear your phone conversations, the radio and stored music in both ears is pretty convenient in loud settings. The stereo sound would be excellent if I didn't detect that the left earbud is consistently lower than the right in each set I've purchased. ...Not a remarkable difference, but low enough to be detected. I also appreciate the "break away" earbud cords that disassemble when pulled, to prevent from wrenching the cords and causing a short. Unfortunately, the feature doesn't prevent shorts in the actual cord which connects to the handset. Shorts are easy to develop in any thin cable that moves as much as headset wire. As I said, I keep purchasing them, so the negatives aren't as inconvenient as the positives.

This was the wrong headset, as i thought it would be. The ear pieces are too big. and there is no volume control on the headset like the original headset that I asked for.
