If you remember, last year I wrote about this product, as the Motorola H12, at that time it was the tiny device using dvuhmikrofonnoy scheme. In addition, the product is positioned as a fashion, my dear, here you and the metal case, and cradle, and advertising with Beckham, now everything seems fine, but something is not very good, because voice quality is poor. Despite assurances from some responsible citizens, I have a hearing something happened, I believe in myself as anybody, so the H12 use would not at all my love to the brand. Nevertheless, as shown on the site survey conducted by aksessuarike, users in selecting the headset pay special attention to price, appearance, operation time, the same voice quality is not as important to the respondents' opinion - this is for mono; here as stereo products, then the situation is quite different, music options in the first place. But today we will talk about the budget reincarnation H12, headset H690, which is all the same wolf but in a different, less expensive clothing.

Design, construction

As soon as the announcements of the device, so as soon as the various editions began blindly republish the press release, the key idea was that, de, as a result of two years of research in the light of God with a unique bow and a unique attachment to the receiver, providing unrivaled wearing comfort. It looks at least funny, especially considering the fact that H12 and some other company's products, these ingredients are very similar. That is two years specifically to do something and then started to use, but said only about H690. In my opinion, it's all marketing notions, a kind of "zamanuha for novostnikov, which are susceptible to all sorts of hyperbole. Yes, the headset is comfortable to wear, yes, and bow, and attachment to the speaker are convenient, but I can say the same about a dozen or more of those devices that are now on the shelves, so that all the tale of many years of work cause only a smile . As you can see, H690 can be worn with or without bail, it can be easily removed without her for retention in the ear meets the nozzle. It is made outside the box, on the one hand there is a thickening, a kind of buffer, which is well supported as a speaker in the ear canal. The shape and appearance as compared with H12 remained unchanged, but more democratic steel materials, plastic is used a good quality, at the ends it is velvety, the front panel is varnished, it is rapidly covered with fingerprints. The assembly is very good as the design, a sort of strong thing for a business person, a good addition to the classic clothing, plus, the device is unobtrusive, not too conspicuous, weighs 12 grams.Although due to the used technology garniturka turned out plump, but I even like it.

On the front panel you can see a microphone hole, apparently, is someone who reads the ambient noise, the second hole is not found, the speaker is covered with mesh, and can be seen on the front end. Four holes at the bottom - nothing more than a contact group for attachment to a mini-cradle of it, we'll talk about below.

Management

Everything is identical to H12, at the end of a sliding switch on the front panel is the multifunction button, side - the volume rocker. All the keys work perfectly, clearly, the indicator light is located next to the "main" button, and not very noticeable, a sort of dot, which is lit in blue, green, yellow or red depending on what happens with the device. I liked the design of rocker, pimples are not without reason, they can easily remember where to press to increase or decrease the volume.

Food

As stated by the manufacturer, the device can work 5.5 hours of talk time and 8 days of standby time. In practice, the result is not the best: full of daylight, turning off at night, even half a day of work for two and a half hours of talks - this is something like this. In principle, a good idea important not to forget to put it on charge.It can be powered from the computer if you have cable MicroUSB, the network is charging is about one and a half hours.

Yes, an important addition. As you can see, complete a mini-cradle, it also serves to carry the device because it has a groove for the strap. Interestingly, the accessories are magnetized and literally attracted to each other, you should not put any effort to correct location. Kredlik small, there is a connector on it MicroUSB, but on the headset it is not present, and this can not be frightened - what if you lose? What then? Holy Spirit? In general, I advise the owners or simply did not take it with you and keep house, or be more careful.

Communication with the phone and sound quality

It is interesting that it uses Bluetooth 2.1 with EDR, to remind you that a new specification was announced in March last year, the difference from version 2.0 are essential, and optimized power consumption is a (very highly optimized), and advanced security and technology support Near Field Communication ( NFC). You can read about the latest here. With respect to the product in the work profile 2.1 is not very noticeable, while the poor (though it is necessary to know what there is battery, 5.5 hours can be a very good result for a small tank), so perhaps that connection with the phone is very fast and unavoidable , tests were carried out with the Nokia N82, Motorola Z10, with more first than the second.

Surprisingly, the quality of voice in the H690 are the most pleasant experience, though a little scary pobulkivanie and noise in the device when it is put on the ear, and the call is just beginning. The two sides note that you can hear very well, even in noisy environments - that is, the work of two microphones and shumodava, for example, in the car with the window open to talk can be quite safely. Communication with the device is reliable, you hear an incoming call, the melody is passed correctly. The effective range is about five meters, tested in a flat, round, however, there were many "bad" sources such as the access point, several working Bluetooth-enabled devices.

Conclusions

Oddly, but H690, which will appear on the market through a couple of months and costs about two thousand, I liked much more than the H12, I literally srossya with this pleasant in all respects headset. Have long received no such pleasure from the use of a gadget. In general, the trends from Motorola can not but please, if I do something and am looking forward to play, try to use because it is the result of collaboration with Kodak (this is when it comes to phones only).Excellent S9-HD, which is hunting see in black, very interesting H690 - this is not the best proof that Motorola can not be written in the dead (at least in the process). Another question that I would like to see a lot of work with the consumer. But that is another conversation.

And some competitors, in fact, not. For in H690 collected a lot of the latest innovations garniturostroeniya, starting with two microphones and ending with ergonomic bow. Pay attention to this product, it is interesting.
