Motorola S305 vs Nokia BH-503 bluetooth stereo headsets, head to head comparison and review

[zokhaino]

Thanks nice comparison, I just bought the moto one after watching your video. Thanks man. Keep up the good work.

[octubre1987]

I think I'll buy the Motorola. Better sound quality, less conection issues, lighter and more comfortable. I wish it has better battery life, but well, you can't have everything.

Nokia disconnects a lot. Makes me crazy. I will buy than motorola

[cristianorozco]

muy buen video, gracias por subirlo.

[atish123100]

I just wanna know if you can tell me does this nokia ones are compatible with Blackberry 9530

[Appaddict01]

I just got the Motorola ones for Christmas. I think the sound quality is fantastic. I'm just wondering how they will hold up to sweat.

[TrentRecommends]

@Appaddict01 They both hold up to sweat very well, you shouldn't have to worry too much about that.

[Appaddict01]

I think the Motorola ones look better. The Nokia headphones are way to big!

[TrentRecommends]

@Appaddict01 Ya they both are great looking headsets, it really comes down to personal preference, and yes the nokia's are pretty large.

[Guitarmaniatik92]

nice.. but who is better..?? other question... the Motorola S305 it´s compatible with nokia c3??

[TrentRecommends]

@Guitarmaniatik92 It really comes down to personal preference, but I would say overall that the motorola's are better, and they are compatible with just about any bluetooth enabled device you have.

[willzurmacht]

May I know about the durability of the Motorola s305 please? How long did it take before it broke?

[TrentRecommends]

@willzurmacht It's very durable, you can sit on them and they will bend just fine without breaking. I would say it's alot more flexible than the nokia, but both a pretty durable. After 2 years we still have and use both headsets, I use the nokia, and my wife uses the motorola.

[willzurmacht]

@TrentRecommends Wow that was some great info. Thank you for answering my questions. I actually bought one before I read your response. I'm happy you said that thank you! :)

[jayg07]

cool im getting the Motorola 

[rickymontero]

when u talk about sound quality, does it has a good bass response? (I mean motorolla), Lets I want to listen from John Williams Movie soundtracks to Epic Power Symphonic Metal (Nightwish, xsymphony and stuff) and perhaps even gaming if I use a USB Dongle. Thanks for your review, any other device you would recommend checking?

Good review.You hit all all the points I was interested in. Battery life, sound quality, mic quality, weight.

[SergeKGB]

What phone did you use to play songs?

[jonizzzzle]

Sweet review!

[danielkwangtu]

Thank you trent. Great review. I'm surprised that you are using the Nokia as your main headset though. Is it because of the looks?

[bran70]

Great review. It helped me. Thanks!

[jcgoobee]

Hey guys, I got my S305 from Amazon after watching Trent's review. Guess what? I'm so glad I took his advice and this turns out an awesome yet cheap purchase. I can't be any happier. Pairing with my iMac, Droid X, and iPad was a walk in the park. Highly recommend this. Great job Trent, great job Motorola.

[jcgoobee]

Hey Trent, thanks very much for the nice review.. very helpful indeed. I just ordered my S305 from Amazon.

[TrentRecommends]

@jcgoobee  Terrific, I know you'll enjoy them, Amazon was the least expensive site i could find them on.

[ExodusC]

I disagree about the Nokia headset looking better. I think the S305 is sleek and minimalistic.

[TrentRecommends]

@ExodusC Well, they are smaller, which some might think looks better, I guess the looks part of it is really for each person to judge.

[SparXXXie]

Trent...thanks a lot for the review. I just ordered the s305 and I was a bit nervous about the sound quality, but your review cleared up my worries. I really am looking for a headset to work out in and these seemed to fit the bill, but I also want to use these as everyday general purpose. On the train, airlines, at work. It seems like they will do the job. Thank you for the great review.

[TrentRecommends]

@SparXXXie Your welcome, and congrats! you should be very happy with them.

[2003toeknee]

Awesome review. You outlined all the important points to consider making it clear which is the better buy...

Thanks Trent!

[archmagus666]

i gonna move from cord to cordless.i read all this reviews on amazon that the nokia has better sound until i found this video.i have some questions:

what devices did you use with this headphones?

what cord uses the s305 for charging?i know the nokia uses a small jack

what is the sound compared to a koss porta pro?i am using those but get fed up constanly my cord broke and i got like 4 times need to pay 5€ for repair

and i am using htc desire for almost everything music,movies,wifi pls respond

[TrentRecommends]

@archmagus666 I used a Nexus One phone. The s305 uses a standard micro usb, which is much better than the proprietary ac jack the nokia uses. I don't know the sound compared to a koss porta pro, I would say the sound on the moto s305 is clearer, less distortion.

[igpuga]

Man, I have a question and maybe you know something about it. I've seen this Imitation of the nokia headset that is much cheaper but its really similar, I need to know what headset to buy, the motorkr or the nokia imitation, I can't afford the original nokia atm. If you search at ebay you can find the imitation one, they are around 30 bucks.

thank you, great video btw.

[TrentRecommends]

@igpuga I believe the "imitation" is not really an imitation, it is just cheaper because is coming directly from china, where they are manufactured. Really it comes down to a difference between comfort and sound (the s305) OR style + battery life (the bh-503), they are both great though, you can't go wrong.

[ranaiftikharahmad]

I have read somewhere that BH-503 can be used while it is being charged where as S305 can not be used while charging. One can say that why is it necessary or it is not safe to use during charging but what if you are in the middle of skype call and battery ran out.

[lotos4u01]

thanks for this review!

[TrentRecommends]

@lotos4u01

your very welcome!

[Soniboy84]

Indeed, thanks for the review, I personally hate those reviews, where they talk about the color, the weight, the function buttons. Who cares?? If I want that, I check the specs!

[TrentRecommends]

@Soniboy84 glad I could help!

[jundaliu]

this review is so much better than those unboxing stuff, really appreciate all the details in the video!

awesome!

[TrentRecommends]

@jundaliu Thanks! I really appreciate your comments. I had this video posted to my other account, but took it down so I could post it to this account.
