Finally Nokia rolls out decent headphones

Along with X6,Nokia has been kind enough to bundle a new generation of headphone - Wh701. And no matter what i say about the phone, the headphones are brilliant. Probably the most brilliant made by Nokia till date.

The headphones are too good in noise cancellation. They are of the earbud type, but still they are good enough. The music quality is good, and the beats coming out are good for a music freak. The built quality is good, but i still have concerns regarding the ruggedness and lifetime of the rubberised headphone wires.

One thing i liked the mostly about this was the fact that it was able to stablize the high notes in the rock tracks. For the first time "What i've done" by Linkin Park didn't seem to tearing my head apart, such high music stablization is there. This is one seriously notable feature that isn't available even in the iPod.

But those like me who idolize rap would be disappointed. The thump factor may be very high, but the bass factor has diminished quite a lot, primarily due to noise stablization. The BASS effects in OMG by Usher and Have a party by G Unit has been diminished brutually,which actually the fun factor away. This is something Nokia needs to address if it wishes to be adopted by rappers(like Flo Rida, who featured the 5800XM in his Right Round video) and thus the rap society.

I'd conclude by saying that in case you're a rock fan and you own a Nokia's handset which supports Wh701,just don't waste time, just go out there and buy it. A great accessory for Nokia.
