does anyone have impressions on the new "Nokia BH-905i"s? ( bluetooth/wired, 90% > active voice cancelation, brilliant design ;] )
The reviews out there sound pretty good, but there's nothing like an honest to god, suffering consumer;)

Bought the Nokia BH-905i last week. It's brilliant. Excellent soundquality over bluetooth listening to music and handling calls, all features compatible with the DHD (using Poweramp in combination with SoundFX), batterylife is great (15 hours with noise cancelling, 25 without), design an build quality are superb and it comes in a handy leather case with all plugs and wires you can imagine. The noise cancelling works like advertised (use it daily in crowded commuter trains). The only con I've found so far is the price. Btw, make sure to get the 'i' model, the plain 'BH-905' is also still available but doesn't support all features using the buttons on the headset.

i meant to respond to this thread ages ago but completly forgot.
Anyways ive been using the zagg smartbuds for quiet some time now, and for the price im rather impressed.
for a middle range - cheap set of buds these have excellent sound quality, and im comparing these to my old shures (crappy leads that break all the time), ue fi 5 (too uncomfy for long use).
the thing that has impressed me is the quality of the build, they are solid - the leads are suppose to be made from the same stuff as the shields and are very hard wearing. I usually knock out a set of shures or sienshousers in about 3 months (im an 8hr a day audiobook user so my phones and phone get very heavy use), these i think are on there 5 or 6 month now with no sign of any wear.
The only issue ive found is the foams dont last that long, i ended up putting a set of hard rubber sleeves from an ancient set of e2c (shures basic phones).

The controls work well, there is a single button that can be used to start music/ pause / answer / hang up calls. Mine is also set to start up mort audiobook player which is really handy and saves opening the phone up. The sider volume works and is basic, i dont actually use it very often and feel it would be better suited to have mappable buttons.

As i stated im approx 8 hr a day user, i use them for mainly audio books and to block out noisy enviroment, the phones have never given me the ear fatigue that inner ear phones often cause.

I highly recomend these phones, if you keep an eye out zagg often do 50% discount sales as well then they are a real bargain...

I recommend to buy UE headphones. I you are very active music listener, I recommend to make unique headphone ear plugs. Send them to UE and they will make personal headphones for you. Isolation of these phones are -26 dB, if I remember correctly.

The Klipsh S4i are very fine.
Excellent audio quality with fair Basses.
I'm using them and even if the volume control doesn't work (most of those headsets are designed for iphones....) but you can play/pause/next, previous song/answer calls ... without any issue.
And if you want to customize the stock settings and actions you can make; there's some apps on the market.
