Considered today, the device has absorbed all the good that is in the headset Motorola. And that they have a good thing? First, the design. Second, concern about the time the work implemented proprietary way. Thirdly, this is an infrequent event for the company when it was used Noise Reduction System. Fourth, it used an unusual design finds. Fifthly ... But let's proceed directly to the paper and discuss everything in detail.

Design and construction

Designed by me very much, and there are several reasons. First, the headset is not big and not small, not thin and not thick, not heavy and not easy - she was, as expected, that is suitable for most men. Although the women surveyed liked it too, there was no claim even to a dark color. Second, the claims to the dark color was not, because these dots here on the front - nothing more than a laser engraving, made with intelligence and love and therefore very cool looking. As you can see a pattern there, and the inner side of the "flip", nothing special, squares, lines, and nothing more, but done tastefully. Thirdly, the plastic headset is pleasant, it is not soft, not brand, but just the same as necessary. Here we have used at least four types of plastic, they all work well together, complement each other. Fourth, where did you see the headset-slider with an automatic mechanism for disclosure? I fully admit that such products have been, but not in our market. A little bit about how it works. To turn the headset on and generally to somehow work with it, press the multifunction key, and then leaves the microphone gently forward, indicator lights, the device works. To turn it off, you need to push the hand back the microphone, the mechanism is cocked almost no effort. That there is a good thing? To start a small digression.

Motorola will initially went their own way in garniturostroenii to understand this, let's look at key trends in this industry from other manufacturers. Yes, this is only my opinion, not supported by official data, in fact, I want to express those moments, which tend to producers.

Sony Ericsson - a unique design, excellent or good voice quality, long battery life, the use of large numbers of new technologies (autopairing, the widespread use of profile 2.0 with EDR, LCD displays on the headset, new ways of carrying, equipment, etc.) More information about the line of mono can be read here.In essence, the proposal is not much, but they are quite reconciled, if I may say, clear positioning, nothing "extra" not (even less popular stereo presented so far only the DS-970).

Nokia - good or excellent design, the average working time, average voice quality, unique "chips" are implemented to manage (add separate buttons for power, volume control lever), periodically there are new trends in packaging and how to wear. The range is large, many products are interchangeable, which sometimes prevents the proper positioning.

Jabra - the average design, the average voice quality, in many ways and the whole product line is fairly average, except for a very strong proposal, called JX-10. However, because of "srednesti" the company will later this year when the market will be a few truly remarkable device in an amount of at least two (and one of them will "slide" with no automatic disclosure system). It is an expensive segment of the company and will be implemented all the best, than it has - this great equipment, and competent use of noise reduction, and ergonomic findings.

Plantronics - a very strong line of mono with many, many discoveries, ranging from complete, ending the widespread use of noise reduction. The emphasis is on time, to do this kit often includes a special foam with battery, a cradle or some other stuff. Headsets companies are popular in our country, the representatives of the audience "for 25 years," thanks largely to a fairly conservative design.

Samsung - up to 2007 lines per se was not, it was formed on the principle "I am blinded him from what happened." However, already in 2006 appears WEP-200, which is used by charging its case, the market appears SBH-100, high-quality stereo. This year the main key points of products from Samsung is the design, equipment, voice quality, ergonomics, but the time is still on the sidelines.

Motorola - I want you to immediately announce that this year we stop to contemplate the creation of the barrel of a PEBL-like design, the headset will become clear lines, will use all sorts of interesting materials that are coming changes in the availability, and ergonomics, and the implementation of the transfer speech (to be a very interesting device, I guarantee you). And, of course, still a lot of attention, as before, will be on work time, in this day retractable headset microphone is designed specifically for this, as in last year's Motorola H700 and more of the old Motorola HSW8000. Threw back flip (or pushed-in microphone) - to say, shut down - headset rests. It's an unusual decision, is realized only in the headset from Motorola.

As regards the mechanism of disclosure is likely to be very few failures, the mechanism is not disorderly, for all the testing I opened and closed the unit for nearly a thousand times, everything remained the same.

Originally H800 had already hit the market in five variations (another feature of the audio enhancement of the company, similar color scheme is a Samsung), but eventually the summer we will see only one option, one that is depicted in the photographs.

Wearing

Wearing traditional, with a bow.For the first time in my life I see the headset that comes with three temples of various sizes, similar to the silicone attachments for earbuds. I went bow of medium size, with attachment, it can easily be removed to change the side on which you'll wear it, you just need to change the situation. In wearing the device to show their best side, bow in the back of the rubberized so your ear is not much need to get used to. Pain still there after a couple hours of wearing, but they are not strong. Pressed the headset is good, you can jump, run, do all sorts of active cases without fear that the H800 breaking at the most inopportune moment. With the goggles to wear it, in principle, can be, especially if the thin airfoil.

Management

This is the first headset company where management has been included in another key, however, this is not the key, and the slider, which blocks the inadvertent disclosure in a pocket or purse. Absolutely correct precaution, given that the button is extremely sensitive to depression. Yes, a little about the other bump on the case: on the front panel is decorated by metal multifunction button, pressing it, you push the microphone in such a state she is also responsible for answering and hang up calls, switching between the lines, activating voice dialing, last number redial . On the side is a volume control buttons, top button is always responsible for its increase and lower, respectively, for the decrease. All keys are clear and well-pressed, they were very easy to get used to. Oh, I forgot to say this: closing the microphone to his seat, you will automatically turn off the headset.

The indicator light is inscribed in a circle around the letter "M" in general, glowing circles we have already seen in products from Samsung, remember, for example, WEP-410. Indicator light is not constant, blinking softly.

Food

Sadly, but this headset connector was changed, now it is not miniUSB, and one of the variations in micro-USB. You can not write it down to minus, in the end, almost all headsets on the market of proprietary connectors, but, nevertheless, this was a plus. Unusual location and connector - it is done in a ledge on which is mounted bow and closed flap, find the hole at first glance not so easy. Elegant solution, sometimes the connector on the outside of the housing spoils the appearance. As stated by the manufacturer, the headset can operate in a conversation about 6 hours of standby time - about 200 hours. Full-charge time is somewhere in two hours. In practice, I got this result: being connected to the phone for listening to music (it's only for the battery test, in reality, listening to music, of course, impossible), a fully loaded device lasted about four and a half hours. It was another forty minutes talking. The result of a decent, if a little "shake up" the battery, then we can count on a week of use, given the fact that when you close the flip the headset off. Here it is, foolproof in operation - I always forget to turn off their stuff at night and this morning frantically to charge before leaving home.

Communication with the phone, sound quality

I tested the headset with phones Motorola K3, SE P990i. Pairing with no problems occurred, although I have not figured out how to correctly enter the headset in pairing mode (indicator to blink in different colors). Yes, and did not understand whether it is necessary to introduce, at least, P990 found it when I have long pressed the multifunction key, K3 did it without any clicks (I think). In any case, you will not have problems connecting - at first just try to include H800, to discover if this fails, read the instructions. I think there is realized Profile Bluetooth 2.0, at least, the ability to automatically connect indirectly points to this. Standard code, "0000". Assured operating distance is about 4-5 meters in the apartment. In the headset comes installed on your phone melodies, all with no problems.

There is a noise reduction system, in general, neither the source did not say anything bad about the voice quality, and to me it very much. All quite loudly, clearly, in a noisy environment I can hear well in the car with the windows open during rush hour on the third ring are also fine (except that the number of passed Kamaz and issued directly to the salon preotlichnuyu serving delicious gas). Powered redial (long hold soft keys), activating voice dialing (two short press), switching between the lines. In general, a good many say is impossible, but with a sound all just wonderful.

Conclusions

In the American Internet-store H800 is already sold on an interesting price - $ 119.19. One hundred and twenty dollars in total. In RUR it is three-something thousand rubles, in fact, this price is pretty wireless stereo headset. In our country it should appear this summer, as they say, the price will be around seven hundred thousand rubles, but this is unconfirmed information. Let us summarize the results and look at the pros and cons:

• Unique to date design with a traveling microphone
• Good Design
• Convenient control
• Excellent voice quality

Disadvantages are:

• The majority of consumers from the bow will be a time to hurt the ear, could be implemented two ways of wearing - the ability to wear without a bow, inserting a H800 ear (ie, use a silicone nozzle), and with it (make a groove).
• Hours could be and do great if we used a larger capacity battery (and the dimensions of the case it can be done). This is my personal opinion.
• The package should add some "nyaku, it's still a product does not mean the series. This could be a bag for carrying, and a cable to charge from USB (like headsets Jabra), and a strap for wearing around the neck. By the way ...
• ... There is no slot for the strap. And he came in here would be helpful.

Most of the cons - just my nit-picking from the category of "how would I" on them, in principle, can be ignored. The headset is good, it is true for men, and men, I think, like the voice quality.

Of the competitors, I would single out Samsung WEP-420, Nokia BH-900, will soon be a similar headset from Jabra, that's just the automatic disclosure of realized so far only in H800.If you are looking for something unusual - take a look at this product, I repeat, if the price is at the level of two thousand, it is a very strong proposal.
