Honking hooters, traffic jams and screaming edgy drivers. A sea of moody morning faces in endless rows of traffic….what a great way to start the day. Stop!

What if I told you, you could escape this mayhem? Escape into a world that is your own, that resonates with your favourite familiar tunes at the touch of a button. What if it drowned out the physical and psychological noise that cramps your cranium and raises your stress levels? 15 minutes of just you and the music that feeds your soul.

Billie Jean plays from your speakers, along with the sounds of a thousand other songs, albums, self created playlists and artists, ready to do what they do best with the power of music, access to non-stop music that comes from your Nokia Bluetooth stereo headset device. A pleasant fade away from the madness of manic mania and traffic into the world of melodies and the latest singles (in contrast to the manic mania of reality.)

It’s hard to believe that just an hour or two ago these very streets screamed silence as I raced my way to make it in time for my morning 5:00 spinning class at the gym. A high tight pony, my sneakers and my black gym pants, no to forget the love of my life, my new Bluetooth Nokia headset that has now become a permanent accessory and companion to my ‘on the go’ life. Music generously provided by Nokia Music Store (soon to be Ovi Music) that allows a rhythm that transports you into a world where you make the rules, you bend the rules and you buy the rules. Nokia assisting my every need, as my personal trainer motivates me, step by step, to push harder, faster and work my body as instructed by one of the many songs that comes with the music device.

The Bluetooth wireless technology allows you to connect compatible devices without cables and download all your favourite songs. Better yet this stylish design and headset means you can listen to music worry free that you may miss one of those important phone calls as your music is automatically paused when a call comes in, allowing you to answer that call and then resume back to the world of bass guitars and drum beats, eyes still glued to the road and both hands stuck to the steering wheel.

Aching muscles and numb bum cheeks life is good, ironically. I am alive, invincible and feel like I am on top of the world. Blood rushes through my body as if I am a hero. I am definitely the coolest kid on the block with my new Nokia headset in hand, listening to the latest hits as I enter the doors and walk through the long corridors at the University of Johannesburg, head held high with a bounce in my step, a smile on my face and my new best friend by my side, the Nokia Bluetooth BH-214.
