Motorola is up to the end of the year will present a number of extremely interesting accessories, it is gratifying to observe the activity in this direction. With particularly interesting work, not only in terms of renovation of existing products (replacing old with new headsets, for example), but also the emergence of entirely new veshchichek (stereo Bluetooth-adapter, charger). But especially interesting is the shift of positioning set, somehow I will tell you more about it, when it will be possible to sound the company's plans until 2007.

Design and construction

Draw parallels here does not work, the product is strongly separated from all that has been in the line of accessories from Motorola. There is no usual rounded shapes a la PEBL, everything is quite strict, the design unit is very similar products from Nokia and Jabra (refers to expensive headsets). Indirectly on the image interpretation and the weight of the device - only 12 grams. In principle, and 15 grams on the ear are not felt. So now let's take a look dispassionately at H680, and try to understand what we pay about eighty dollars. Materials used are well matched, but the metal is not here, the ends are made of plastic with a metallic coating. Total used three types of plastic, lacquered front panel and as a consequence, brand, behind the gritty stuff, nice. Multifunction button is round, this approach is similar to what we saw in the Samsung WEP-410. Controls are not typical for a small headset designers would like to say thank you for it - all the keys are large, it is convenient to find and press. Logo virtually invisible, it's absolutely right - not the fact that the buyer will be the unit of the same brand, and many like monotony in their daily set of electronics (MacBook, iPod, iPhone, ha ha). Overall impression of the design is good, especially not to find fault with anything. Succinctly, simply and tastefully. Black here is good, mix with a silvery interesting interviewed boys and girls with interest Thing twisted in his hands, questioning how and what. It is interesting that one of my friends literally said: "She looks like and the JX-10 and BH-800 headset and SE». I agree with this, the designers did a good job - a product and recognizable, and like something other luxury headset, and zest. But still, it's not a top solution, as it will try to position the majority of sellers, rather, H680 from the category of "above average", and culminating in line will be a different typeface, of which I am still asked not to tell. If you try to come up with the consumer for this veshchichki, it is people aged 25 to 50 years old, male or female, who prefer strict design things, most likely, the owners of the car, working in the office. It is unlikely that this will be the impulse buying, not the price, most likely the consumer will choose from a number of expensive H680 headset and it may well choose it because it is cheaper most of the top solutions.

On the cradle, I'll discuss in the section on nutrition, this is a strange thing.

Way of wearing, comfort

The headset can be worn with or without bow bow as you see fit. Forgive the tautology, but in any case you will be comfortable, no problems with it absolutely no - bow is very thin and easy to push, or even somehow transform your ear, well, a rubber attachment on the earpiece is very comfortable, you will not have absolutely no problems. I say with reservations (again, a tautology), just because a small percentage of users may be uncomfortable for everyone else it would fit perfectly. Personally, I do not often feel so good feel of the product list can literally any fingers (eg, SE HBH IV-835, Samsung WEP 420, Nokia BH-900 etc.). In general, I think you will not regret it. The only negative point - cost engineers to provide the opportunity to wear a strap, there is no slot for it. On the other hand, nothing prevents you from wearing a headset in your shirt pocket and put on only when really necessary. Change of position takes seconds, although initially you'll get used to the process, a fine bow, place it correctly is not easy.

You can safely exercise with the H680, only stands to put on headband. Headset can be easily worn with glasses.

Management

Here everything is quite traditional, there is a multifunction button, which is responsible for most functions (answer / end call, enter into pairing mode, last number redial, voice dialing, call), to slide and the volume keys. The slider is typical for the "rich" foods, this is the key, for which we pay extra money (in fact, pay for convenience). Switching it into position, we can see how small and pleasant light indicator lights next to multiknopkoy first purple and then blue light - the headset is ready for pairing. By the way, the indicator made a very nice, it's small, shining gently, something he reminded me of production of Sony. All keys are convenient and easy to press, we can say that management is typical for an image, an expensive product.

Food

As you've already been able to understand a few words in describing the design, the headset is charging for a reason, and in the cradle. And the cradle is made here is rather strange - it is such a small box with a fully removable transparent cover. However, the cap, you can not use it, and immediately put into the far corner of the table. Therefore it is unclear what guided the designers and engineers, there is an obvious misconception, for example, in other products (Samsung WEP-200, Jabra JX-10) do not need something there completely removed, if the cradle, the cover or simply leans toward or cover is not at all. It also completely removable cover is made, I did not like the process of disconnecting. Pleased to once remove the lid of the box with the donated hours, but every time I remove the lid, in order to get a headset - it's quite another calico. And the box itself is made of five: there are psevdometallicheskaya bezel, and precise, and all that jazz - set in a cradle in the evening and is being charged. Playground for the headset is magnetized, so that wrong with the arrangement will not work even with a strong desire. Another shortcoming - the use of non-standard connector, this is one of the variations on the theme microUSB, in the sale of such finding will not work.

According to the manufacturer the headset works 7 hours of talk time and 200 hours of standby time. The headset I had a very short time, virtually tests were conducted over two days, but I can imagine that operate in a mode of conversation, she will be about five hours. For not much talker, this means work within two days off for the night. The result is not bad, about the same with most headsets on the market. Charge Time - about two hours.

Communication with the phone, sound quality

The headset was tested with a Sony Ericsson P990i, I was curious to see how it will behave with the "enemy" unit. Pairing took place without a hitch, to activate, press and hold the multifunction key until the indicator light flashes blue. I have a suggestion that with Motorola do not have to do, and the headset will show up, simply by being included. Password Standard, "0000". Quietly working last number redial (retention multiklavishi), activate voice dialing (two hits), switching between the lines.Headset quietly, the maximum level of comfort, but not excessive, in noisy places, you may not be very well heard the interlocutor. With the specified device in the headset did not ring, played his own tune (quite beautiful, by the way) with other devices it should be okay, this is a feature of my sample. Motorola H680 has a DSP-processor, in addition, engineers have tried to place the microphone in the right place. Though he is far away from your mouth, you heard well, the interlocutors noted the good voice quality without delay, reverb. Only if there's a TV, then the sides and hear what is happening there, seen selective pruning of excess (all noise, but not speech). In general, the voice quality I am extremely pleased, want to use a headset.

Conclusions

Let's first look at the pros and cons of H680.

  • Good Design
  • Easy to wear
  • Good governance
  • Good voice quality
Less able to remember only one, it's weird made a cradle with a lid.

All this "bogachestvo" cost will be, as I said earlier, about 80 dollars, that is two or slightly more than a thousand rubles. Major competitors - Nokia BH-800/801, Jabra JX-10, Samsung WEP-410/420, all of them, except for WEP-410 is more expensive H680. An interesting proposal, does not it? This is because the product is good enough, he asks an interesting trend in the last year for such a thing would have to shell out about a hundred-odd dollars. Motorola will be a little shaken markets mono this proposal, well for the consumer an opportunity to buy a good thing for not very much money.
