Nokia BH-208

Even though Nokia has released a few high-end Bluetooth headsets such as the Nokia BH-801, it has quite a few more affordable basic models in the market as well. One of the more recent ones is the Nokia BH-208 Bluetooth headset, which may not be as fancy as the Nokia BH-801, but it still delivers the same ease of use and has decent sound quality. It's also cheaper at $69.95 and will be available for purchase by the end of this month.

With a simple basic black plastic shell, the Nokia BH-208 has a minimalist design that won't draw too much attention. It has a rectangular shape, rounded corners, and is relatively compact at 1.65 inches long, 0.9 inch wide, and 0.4 inch deep. It is a bit heavier than the Nokia BH-801 at 0.49 ounce, but it won't weigh you down. On the front is the flat multifunction button that has a slight plastic lip jutting above the surface. This lip provides textured detail, which is good for finding the button by feel when you're wearing the headset on the ear. A tiny LED light is on top of the device, while the volume rocker is on the left spine. While we found the multifunction button easy to press, we were displeased with both the volume rocker and the power button. The volume rocker's toggle switch is set too deep into the headset, which made it a bit difficult to feel and maneuver. The power button is simply minuscule and is behind the headset, so large fingers might have some trouble with it.
