Rs. 2,900) but we do not have any idea regarding its global availability also as yet. We are yet to know if the Nokia BH-501 Bluetooth earphones to be released in the major markets such as India in the coming months.

Our thoughts

We think that HMD has come up with a Bluetooth earphones so that it can capitalize on the trend as many manufacturers are coming up with high-end smartphones without the 3.5mm audio jack. This is one factor that leaves the scope for the Bluetooth earphones.
