Experience sound and silence with the revolutionary Nokia Bluetooth Stereo Headset BH-905 with active noise cancellation

Nokia today launched a headset ideal for listening to music and making calls with virtually any compatible phone or music device, with or without a wire. The Nokia Bluetooth Stereo Headset BH-905 with active noise cancellation combines two in one � both music and calls � and provides crystal clear sound by eliminating background noise with novel active noise cancellation technology from Wolfson Microelectronics, a leader in high performance audio technology. This multi-microphone feed-forward active noise cancellation technology allows for pure sound without ambient noise and is now introduced for the first time in the Nokia Bluetooth Stereo Headset BH-905.

�The overall music experience with this new headset is second to none thanks to the revolutionary noise cancellation technology. The headset is set apart also through the ability to make phone calls, as switching between music and calls has been made easy with integrated call control�, said Jarno Piironen, Director, Entertainment Business Area, Nokia Original Accessories. �People living in urban areas are surrounded by noise practically everywhere and silence has almost become a luxury. We believe this headset fulfills the highest standards for providing high quality music enjoyment and phone calls and also give the luxury of silence when needing an environment to relax.�

Technically the noise cancellation is solved with a total of 10 microphones: 8 microphones for cancelling noise and 2 microphones for capturing speech in loud surroundings offering advanced noise cancellation for clear sounding phone calls.

The design is simplified to its extreme, ensuring that its functionality is not compromised. Details made of stainless steel ensure a quality and precious look through time and soft ear pads provide comfort. The headset features a dedicated multifunction key for call management, as well as music and volume controls, and a switch for activating the active noise cancellation.

It is compatible with a wide variety of devices. Wirelessly with any device supporting wireless Bluetooth technology, and with wired connection with all Nokia devices with 3.5 mm Nokia AV and 2.5 mm Nokia AV, music players, PCs and other devices with standard 3.5mm jack, home stereos with standard 6.3 mm jack as well as airplane players.

The headset will be available globally starting August, 2009. The estimated retail price before taxes and subsidies is around EUR 285.
