General Comments
I used the HDW-2 headset from Nokia for about a month.
Admittedly, I purchased it online without checking the feedback on this site, relying on the name of it's manufacturer.
Straightaway I noticed a poor quality of sound as well as difficulty to be heard properly by the people on the other side of the line. I also found a problem with the sound volume ending up having to press the device against my ear in order to be able to hear.
From the begining the battery compartmet door kept falling off so that eventually I decided to sellotape it.
Wearing of the headset would become uncomfortable after about an hour with the ear piece digging into my skin.
Perhaps the most dissapointing feature is the short battery life of up to about 20 minutes. This is if used for short periods of a few minutes in one go. Using it over 10 minutes continuosly would set off the series of long and loud 'low battery' audible warning signals during which speech is impossible. I would then have to turn the set off for about 10 minutes for it to recharge so I can use it again.
Contrary to the quality of the most Nokia mobile phones, HDW-2 Headset is a suprisingly low quality product and I would strongly recommend against it.
