These are fantastic headphones, the quality is great, and when swapping to take or make a call again great. The only quibble is that they are so good at keeping out background noise you will struggle to hear other;s speaking to you.

The headset is well constructed with excellent sound quality. The microphone is exceptional in that it can pick up even quietly spoken words on a train. The buttons on the headset can be used to control your music as well as make/cancel calls and work seamlessly with my Touch Pro 2.
There are some minor negatives - after 45 mins it can get a little uncomfortable to wear necessitating repositioning which imrpoves matters. The headset rests behind the head with the its elasticity increasing its curvature so it remains in position by pushing into your ears. In terms of stability this is reasonable but I can't turn my head fast or run/jump with them on. In terms of style I think they look good - my brother has more of a fashion sense and feels they make the wearer look like Princess Leah though!
Overall I think they are excellent with minor stability problems which an over the head style band may bypass but as I do not want them for the gym, this isn't an issue for me.

Excellent sound, controls, and styling. The "fit" needs improvement.
20 Mar 2008
I have been happily using my Nokia BH-503 for several weeks now. However, the headset does have one significant shortcoming: it does not stay in place well because its "behind-the-neck" design fails to keep it up. I was forced to add an "over-the-head" nylon band to my BH-503 in order to support it. As an engineer, this was a simple modification, and anyone with reasonable manual skills might wish to consider this.
Before I improved support with an "over-the-head" strap, the BH-503 would hurt my ears and slide down. After one hour or so of wearing time, my ears would start to ache and I would have to stop listening. After adding the strap, the discomfort to my ears disappeared, and I can now wear my BH-503 for hours at a time without any discomfort.
On with the sound. Technically speaking, Nokia did a fine job on the BH-503. The controls are well-placed and provide excellent "clicky" feedback. The sound is quite good, especially considering it is coming over a wireless link. In fact, it is "near-audophile" quality. And, of course, being free of a cord just cannot be beat for comfort. The are, however, occasional short "drop-outs" when I turn my head, but I am used to them and they are few. By and large, the superb sound and ample volume of the BH-503 make for an excellent user experience. Synchronizing to my Bluetooth-enabled Nokia E90 was a snap, and all the BH-503 controls work as advertised. The BH-503 and E90 make a good pair and Nokia deserves five stars on technical execution here.
My only closing comment is to repeat that I found it necessary to modify my BH-503 headset by adding an "over-the-head" nylon band. I used black nylon strap material cut from a lightweight "Chihuahua-size" dog leash. With careful sewing using heavy carpet thread, the resulting band has a "factory-look" band that even Nokia would be proud of. The only reason I did not give the BH-503 a five star review overall was the fact that I was forced to add a strap to my BH-503 to help it stay in place over my ears and to eliminate the discomfort it caused by sliding off.

Great product!

I really enjoy the sound of this headset, however when I spend more than 1 or 2 hours with it I begin to fell a little pain at my ears; I think that will be better if the headset had a removable size fit like others, but I'm still happy with it!

Junk

Don't waste your money. This headset is nothing but trouble. It can't reliably pair, drops connections, or won't bring up a connectio when requested. Total junk. Stay away.
