«Founded in 2005, Maverick's philosophy is inspired by the principals of Modernism, which encourage the re-examination of commonly held assumptions to make way for new - and better - ways of doing. Modernist objects tend to be clean, sleek, and highly efficient. Apparent simplicity often masks ingenious engineering.
Maverick's first product, nica, embodies this approach. The simple, circular form is a rejection of the conventional headset shape. This feature and many other details add up to a uniquely improved product experience.
Maverick will continue to introduce new personal communication products that deliver on this promise ».
It is now five years since its foundation, but a headset while the case was the extent. I think the founding fathers of the creators wanted to do something like the Jawbone, but it is not enough money, or enthusiasm, or a ruthless market devoured the idea and even choked. This often happens. The reasons usually lie on the surface. After a review you will understand what's wrong.
Design and construction
Headset round, and this is the first thing that catches your eye. Similar to the puck, Sony VAIO TP, pill or something like that. It is round. And beautiful. Only once the question arises, and what it will be wearing. But until this. Good packing, All neatly packed in their boxes, but still very far from the design of branded accessories, Apple or Jawbone. Like a woman nakrasili, but her torn stockings. Top cardboard minimalism here, inside - white plastic, tucked away in a power supply, and more. I think if you really do come from product design to the claim, the stuff here is very important. But let's get back to Nica. Good build, but it seems to me, have an extra slot. The back of the finished tires, there you can see a group of contacts.
Wearing
Questions begin to arise since, as you try to wear the headset on your ear. If you do not read instructions, then we obtain here the following conclusions: "shackle can be removed and rearranged for left or right ear, but the gap is small. I got it put in such a way that Nica is on top of the ear. What kind of a strange clip. Inconvenient, unreliable. I'm afraid to imagine what can be said about the headset people with abnormal structure of the ear - the developers will send beams of kindness and happiness.
But how many of you, dear readers, will want to endure the wear all sorts of unusual ways? For a split second to hoist it into place will not work at all desire.
Management
All controls are collected at the end. Lever fuzzy inclusion, click the implicit. There is a volume rocker and covered with silverfish multifunction key, with the help of a reception and call completion, enter pairing mode. Next to the slot for the bow is a mesh microphone, the indicator light on the opposite side. Was quite possible to move it to the back part.
Hours
Claimed battery life is around 4 hours of talk time and 150 hours of standby time. In fact, the headset even works a little less, about three hours forty minutes. A full charge takes place in one hour, it's not bad. But use will have complete power supply. Connects it to the heavy cradle. On the back of the headset is a group of magnetized contacts, it is "cleave" to the dock.In this connection with the mobile phone is lost, you can continue to receive calls. This also applies to car adapter, it looks in the style of the device, there are lights around the circle button on and off the adapter.
Although the cradle on the table looks beautiful, it should be noted.
Communication with the phone, sound quality
Our Nica tested in pair with iPhone 3Gs, and I could predict the outcome in advance. The microphone is located far from the mouth, the basic price of the device came in the appearance and the cradle, but that's about voice quality, a little forgotten. In vain. Communicate with Nica possible, yes that's just a little fun. In a quiet room still ok, but there were still some slight background noise. On the street it gets worse, the parties note that you have difficulty hearing, are asked to turn off the headset. There still marked disadvantage control tugovat volume buttons (and a similar multi-country).In general, three-plus.
Conclusions
In some online stores for this thing asking about six thousand.I tell you strictly want to discourage buying this thing. She made the claim on the design and usability, but in reality:
- Voice quality is poor
- Management uncomfortable
- Assembling a strange
- Charge only with two accessories, lose one - bye, Nica
In general, the sheer disappointment.
