Playback and comfort of Nokia Purity stereo headset WH-920
The Purity stereo earphone is a great product from Nokia for the users. This headset works great while you're sitting or when you are doing nothing. These headsets tend to drop out from the ears when we walk or run and you have to keep pushing them into the ear whenever it drops out. The center remote control works easily with several compatible devices. This headset will also work on Android smartphones, even if Nokia has designed it for Symbian and Windows smartphones.. The earplug shell is constructed with strong and light weight plastic, which doesn't get scratches or cracks even if it falls from a considerable height. Some phones don't support this headset. In such cases you have to use the Nokia AV adapter which is provided along with the headset. But when the AV adapter is used the microphone and the remote control on the headset become unusable.
