Nokia BH-505 vs Samsung HM3500

[SpideyCoco]

Hi guys! I'm in the look for some bluetooth stereo earphones for my Lumia 710, and the options are oh so limited. I couldn't buy the BH-111 when I found them and now they aren't available anymore and the BH-503 are just huge.

As you can see, I want something relatively small, and so right now I'm between these two. Which one would you pick? What others would you recommend?

(Nokia Purity are out of the question due to their extremely high price and I want something wireless because my 3.5mm jack is broken yet again)

Try the new BH-121, successor to the BH-111.

I'm afraid that's not an option, Nokia Argentina didn't even know that BH-121 existed, nor they don't know where the BH-111 are selling, though they list it as an accesory in their webpage

I have had several pairs of BH-505 and love them however there are a few flaws.
1 - if they get slightly wet from rain or sweat they will pack up (you have to dry them out in a sealed bag with rice).
2 - there are some weak points on the arms where they will break after daily use, especially if you have a large head like me
3 - they are now discontinued, making them very hard to get (in the UK anyway). Lots of replicas about on ebay but the sound quality is not as good as the originals.

I have owned 2 pairs of original Nokia bh505s and 2 pairs of replicas. I'm now looking for a replacement my self.

Go with a Xbox 360 bluetooth headset, it supports ADP2 so you can stream the audio from netflix or xbox music to your headset. I've tried other bluetooth headsets like Plantronics and they don't support ADP2.

They retail $25-$30.
