When I heard about the Nokia BH-905 “high performance” Bluetooth headphones with active noise reduction, my cynical side immediately kicked in. I mean, what could be so “high performance” about Bluetooth headsets?
The kind folks from Nokia and WOMWorld met my cynicism head-on and sent a pair of their Nokia BH-905 to test things out :
So let’s see… Nokia states this about their headphones :
- Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR,
- Headset Profile (HSP) 1.2,
- Hands-Free Profile (HFP) 1.1,
- A2DP 1.2
- 3.5mm Nokia AV (3.5mm standard jack) connectivity
- Frequency Response: 15Hz to 20kHz
- Advanced Wolfson Microelectronics myZone Ambient Noise Cancellation for up to 99% noise reduction
- 10 microphones – 8 for noise canceling, 2 for capturing speech in loud surroundings
- Talk Time: 24 Hours, 15 Hours with noise cancellation active
- Music Playback: 25 Hours, 16 Hours with noise cancellation active
- Standby Time: Up to 600 Hours
But hey, before going deep in technical details and performance let's see what we've got between our hands :
The box of the helmet is shaped rigid shell and oval, which is very original, and its opening is made by sliding the slide along the hull.

Guide
All connectors are gold-plated, guarantee of longevity and especially quality signal transmission !
The upper and the cushions are upholstered in leather and a dense and fluffy foam. It is not possible to feel the metal frame in the range.
The Nokia BH-905 isn’t cheap. But it’s not built cheap. It doesn’t feel cheap. It doesn’t look cheap. And it doesn’t work cheaply either
Media buttons on the right cone. Play/Pause, Rewind and Fast forward. Also Volume up/down. All the basics.
The Power button is a Multifunction key for answer/end, voice dial, and redial.
Also, the standard 2.5 mini-jack output is in bottom right corner before the little Notification LED.
In the left, we find the :
- ANC (
Ambient Noise Cancellation) slide switch
- Rectangular LED (red when charging, or when the battery is empty, green when the ANC is on)
- The charger plug
As great as the BH-905 looks, it looks ridiculous when you wear it,
and for those who have a big head, the Nokia BH-905 can expand several inches.
Positioned on the head and ears, the Nokia BH-905 is very comfortable to wear. In practice, it does not overwrite the user's ears ^^
Made out of plastic the black plastic along with the silver metallic and plastic make a overall good appearance. Due to the soft ear pads it feels really comfortable and good. Furthermore you can adjust the headset so that it fits perfect to your head-size. When siting, walking or lying it headset sits good. However, when making fast movements it falls of your head easily.
Last but not least,
the presence of a cable connection and many adapters clearly show that this helmet is very versatile and can be used with numerous devices
Side by side with the BH-503
What's Hot
- Pairing and switching the BH-905 on or off, is accompanied with an Audio Beep so that you know what’s going on, while wearing them.
- The retail package comes with every sort of Adapter you’d want

- High build quality
What's Not
- The sides are slightly curved and give an impression of "big head"
- It may falls of your head easily when moving fast
