My local supplier was most kind to let me test these Bluetooth headsets

1. Nokia BH-504
2. Jabra BT650S HALO
3. Nokia BH-503

in their business lounge. My choice, the Nokia BH-504 lacked the open atmosphere and flat response of the Jabra. The usability and sturdier build of the Nokia settled the deal. I never tried the BH-503.

So here I am, burning the new BH-504 in and cross testing against my all time winner Beyerdynamic DT-770 Professional 250 Ohm. Beyer is still the champ, hands down. But the BH-504 is also tuned for a basshead.

Nokia BH-504 vs Beyerdynamic DT-770

DT-770 is well documented on this board. My overall first impression of the BH-504 is less muffled than the DT-770.

BH-504 lack the clarity of Beyer's middle and upper highs.

Midrange is more defined in DT-770.

The bass of BH-504 is not as deep, though it goes low. Some bass test music sounded correct all the way down to 10 Hz. As I felt a little too sceptical about my own judgement, I had to convince myself time and time again with real music. For example, the last note in "Way Down" on the Elv1s CD is almost as deep as with DT-770.

The conclusion of my short sound quality review of the Nokia BH-504 Bluetooth headset is: impressive.

Interesting review, thanks for sharing!
So you never actually compared it with the 503 with regards to SQ, why not?
 
Do you think the BH-504 is rugged/comfortable enough to be used for regular jogging?
I've read lots of reports about the BH-505 breaking very quickly after only a few runs.
Have you compared the BH-504's SQ to the BH-505's?

I don't suppose you can spare a few minutes to respond?
I'd be ever so grateful if you can? All the best!
