Nokia BH-604 Used As Wireless Headphones With Computer

September 12th, 2008 • Mark Guim • Filed Under •

You’ll never catch me wearing the bulky and ugly Nokia BH-604 bluetooth headset outside, but I’m pretty happy using it indoors as a wireless headphone. It was sent to me as a prize for the S60 Smarts Contest.

Let me give you an example how useful it is. Sheila was really sleepy, but I was wide awake. I wanted to finish watching a Smallville episode but didn’t want to disturb her. Solution? Use the Nokia BH-604 as a wireless headphone connected to the Apple iMac via bluetooth. Setting it up is too easy. Here’s how I did it with a Mac:

Put the BH-604 in pairing mode by holding the call button. A blue LED flashes. Under the bluetooth icon on the Mac, click ’set up Bluetooth Device.’

I chose to use it as a headphone for this computer because that’s really all I need it to be.

When asked for a pairing code, the default is ‘0000.’ That’s it!

So even though I won’t be wearing it outside, I’m fine using the Nokia BH-604 as a wireless headphone when watching movies on our 24 inch iMac. Audio quality is fine, but I don’t have anything to compare it to. Would I recommend the BH-604? No… I like the form factor of the Nokia BH-603 better.

Hi,
My Macbook Pro (Mac OS X 10.6.2) Can't find my Nokia BH-604.
I can connect to my Nokia N95 8Gb, transfer picture and data.
Many are talking about the A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) which is apparently not installed on Mac!!??
How did you manage to find the Nokia BH-604 with your Mac?
Also does the BH-604 have an address like my nokia N95 8Gb (00-21-09-d6-4b-20) ????
take care, thank you for feedback

I have been using my Nokia Bluetooth Headset BH-501 for years now whether at work connectet to my workstation or my work laptop or home laptop.

The quality is quite good but I used it more to free me from a physical attachment the computer or mobile.

There are times that I link it to my Nokia smartphone when I know I'll be on the phone chatting all night long. This frees me to move around my home and continue to multitask as I chat with friends.

I have the Motorola S805 which are comparable in size to the Nokia BH-604 but it's all black which i think tones down the goofy look a bit. Anyway has anyone ever used the Nokia MD-7W? right now i am remodeling a house and i use my N82 to listen to music while working but often its not loud enough. Any thoughts on these speakers.

Im seriously interested in investing in a pair of these, for in the home use only of course.!

Heh, I know what you mean about not wearing them in public. I bought the Jabra 610s (something like that) bluetooth around-the-head kinda headfones. They're so goofy looking, I can't use them outside without feeling too... CYBER! They also work with my Macbook, BTW. Thanks for the review!
