Not so long ago, readers can consult the overview virtually unknown news from the company - a model H680, which, despite the average price will be extremely profitable acquisition. She was not crowned with an updated line of headsets, rather, is under the "main" model, which I tell you until I can not. Motorola H220, judging by the price is almost the budget unit, but there are a lot of more expensive models. For example, design, and voice quality. I'll note that in my hands was not a commercial sample, some moments may change by the beginning of sales.
Design and construction
Design of the set is extremely curious, she stretched, so the whole round - underlines the airy form of circular multifunction button. It is large in size and successfully entered into the design. I especially liked the texture of the front panel, plastic there is little grooves in them have fun with a fingernail (and sometimes little things please). In essence, they allow you to keep your headset tsepche fingers, but need this tenacity? As a design element is just great, great idea for the design of mobile phones - if the rear has been made thus falls would be much less. Headset radical black, the only bright spot - the logo of the company, it attracts attention, but not flashy. Assembling my prototype is a good, reliable coverage it seems (as I understand it, the plastic unpainted), backlash, no squeaks, it's pretty tight. To summarize, I would say that six months ago, a device with such a design could pass off as an expensive solution, and consumers would not ask any questions. Given that this is an inexpensive headset design is very successful in what it resonates with H680 (in fact, H220 is a slightly increased 680 I), like many of its simplicity and brevity. And girls and boys expressed quite simple - all enjoyed it, but I want different colors. At least white, red and green.
Wearing
Headset, in principle, can be worn two ways - with and without bail. Bow slim, easy on the ear does not feel even after a couple hours of wearing, but the rubber cap on the headset has an elongated shape and I really enjoyed it. Not that there is any discomfort with me, it was not, but a person with other dimensions of the ear canal, he may well arise.While on the other hand, the way of wearing quite successful, but the shackle will be used in most cases. For example, in the gym that H220 not fly with perspiring ear. Removed and the bow is easy to put on, respectively, to change the position of the head can simply rearrange it.
Management
There are three keys and two LEDs, with the edge at the ends of the headset are volume control buttons, as I understand it, the default volume is responsible for raising the upper (a system with a moving ball or something else). Multifunction button is responsible for the answer / end call, switching between the lines, last number redial, voice dialing activation. Indicator lights are fortunate, especially small in the "end" of the device - it is small, no light is bright and not dull - as it should. When charging indicator lights with a corresponding mark on the other side of the front panel. All the keys are easily pressed, there are vigorous flicks and other blessings. Get used to managing - it five minutes, the layout is successful.
Food
As stated by the manufacturer, time of talk time is 7.5 hours, standby time is 200 hours. Practical testing was incomplete, since the device hit me in the hands of just three days, but some results can be reduced and now. Thus, the approximate time of the "field" is about two days with average load (an hour and a half of a day off for the night), which is quite normal and predictable result. By the way, here applied a standard connector miniUSB, charging time is about an hour and a half.
Communication with the phone, voice quality
The headset was tested with a mobile phone SonyEricsson P990i, for pairing, press and hold the multifunction key, and then using the phone find the headset. Indicator mode should always burn blue, after a successful pairing, it starts blinking. Pairing is fast, thanks to profile 2.0 (with H680 another chip, there is also support for EDR), it is reliable, breakdowns and failures there. Voice quality is acceptable, in general, I can safely say that it's good enough for the product in its class. DSP-processor is not here, but without him in low noise conditions (such as a car) you will not have problems. The two sides are, in principle, do not notice anything unusual, it's good. Work correctly all the keys, switching between the lines, a set of voice, especially not to find fault with anything.
Conclusions
As you can see all the basic parameters I do not have any comments. Note - the price. The headset will be available in early fall and will cost about $ 50-60 (it is possible that the price will be adjusted in a big way, but, still, the price will not be great). Pluses of the device:
Easy to wear
Interesting design
Good voice quality
Convenient control
Reasonable time
Cons, in fact, no. If we talk about your competitors, then this product from Jabra (BT500v, for example), Samsung, and most importantly, Nokia. Looking back, I recall another of the same "nenapryazhny" product - a Nokia BH-208, perhaps this is the main competitor.
