Review of the Coloud Boom for Nokia in matte red. I have the red one here, but it also comes in cyan or yellow to match Nokia's colors.

The packaging is very simple. It has a triangular shape that looks like a play button. In addition to the headphones, they included a user guide and a sticker.

The design of The Boom is very minimalistic. They placed a small Coloud logo on the right side. The Nokia logo isn't flashy either... you can find it on the remote.

There's not a lot cushioning on top, but it's enough to to be comfortable on your head. The headset is held together by a metal band. You can see that by folding the top cushion. It's very flexible, so the headset can fit small or large heads.

The Boom fits on the ear, not around it. The ear paddings feel nice and comfortable. There are Left and Right signs on top to help you put them on the right way. They feel snug but not too tight, which helps block outside noise.

The sound quality is surprisingly good for a headset that costs about $35. It's definitely a step-up from earphones that come with mobile devices, but without spending too much money. It gets even better if you use this headset with Lumia phones because of Dolby enhancement. Just go to settings, audio, then enhancements to turn it on. I think the best way to describe it is the sound feels 3 dimensional in the ear.

The boom also has a mic and remote, but it only has one button. One-click for play, pause, pick-up, or hang-up. 2-clicks for forward, and 3 clicks for rewind.

It doesn't support bluetooth or noise cancellation so there are no batteries to worry about.

Another interesting feature of the Boom is called the Zound Lasso. This lets you wrap up the cord. It's a cool design, but I think it might bother people with devices that have the power button on top.

The Boom is a great headset for its price. You'll get better sound than the earphones that are usually included with your phones. It costs about $35 and will be available in Nokia's colors in September. If you don't want to wait, you can go to Coloud's website or Amazon for more color options.
