In the near future you are waiting reviews of two more devices from Motorola, I decided to start with the most interesting (and most expensive). So we are talking about recently announced headset Motorola H12.

Review of Bluetooth-headset Motorola MOTOPURE H12

Design

Look at the pictures. Surely the first thing that caught my eye is perforated pad on the front panel, it is made of anodized metal and are very nice. Let me remind you that the anodized metal - is aluminum or an alloy in which there is a special coating, in this case silver. It arises, of course, not just so, and thanks to the method of electrolysis, this may be more to read in a textbook of chemistry or here. In general, an interesting way to design. Excellent seen and a round button with a thin ribs under it is a very small luminous point indicator - it is very correct, the indicator visible to you, but malozameten to others. But then, if you start to look closely, you'll find some discrepancy between the cast for veshchichki money and reality. Look at the keys - they are made of plastic. Note that a few plump little thing, is particularly interesting, it looks at the background of short lengths, the proportions of a little respected, the headset is turned short and thick. Materials used are not anything new - it is a standard unpainted plastic. I have not found here soft-touch, mentioned in the press release. All this is me slightly disappointed, because fashion, expensive product - is not only perforated insert made of metal, it is also a kind of image. Take the same Nokia BH-803, one of the competitors H12, - headset solid inside and out, all the elements look harmonious, well thought-out here that, alas, no. There are, however, justify the design and delights, of which you can read in the cupola of power and sound.

While represented by only one color version of the device, it is possible that the company will not stop and offer black, red and even some solution. I think it is quite possible to count and to a dark gray - a tone and RAZR2 Z6.

To what degree is not particularly good impression of the design mitigates the delivery. Let me remind you that there is a stand and case, and through that, and any other accessory you can charge your headset. Stand has a metal cover plate in the color of the headset, the contact area is magnetized, which facilitates the positioning device. Case we already know, this is a house with a removable lid. To him a very suitable one word, but first a little digression. On one of my jobs I have had a colleague, a woman of forty-seven, Elena. Very intelligent, smart, outstanding reklamschitsa, who spoke on absolutely fluent Russian, but always had problems with one word. According to her, it went from a child, her grandmother always used the word "koruebochka" instead of "box", and that's it, willy-nilly, had become addicted to it.In general, these "koruebochki" in the headset is already plenty poispytyvala company Samsung in a number of products, as far as I can guess, the more we will not see them. True, there are those same boxes were different, although the cap was attached to, and at Motorola, they resemble children's toy "Build Your Own House." Anyway, this opinion is subjective, it is possible that someone is handy.

And yet, it would be better to set a stand, any strap or something like that. Box in your pocket is not very interesting about this below.

Wearing

As you can see, the headset is equipped with a removable transparent bow that is very correct - it is not visible from a distance. Wear the device so convenient, the speaker "is dressed in a rubber pad, it can be removed and replaced with foam. It seemed to me that it is more convenient to use with the bow, the more it weightless and does not bother me no pain.

True, there arises another problem. Bow is extremely flexible and tseplyucha, diarrhea headset into a jacket pocket and pulling out every time with the money, lighters, love notes and other things, I started using the box. But this is not very convenient - for example, so I talked, and I do not need the device to the ear. Need to get and open the box, put the headset, then do the same in reverse order - not fun. In general, Case I, too, laid aside, and began carrying it in your bag. Sorry, very sorry that there is no other way of fixing.

H12 on the ear looks nice, it does not take away. Under a cap or hood she was hiding at times, you can easily use it in the gym, fixed securely.

Management

The headset has, in fact, the three control buttons, a rocker volume rocker on the end, multifunction button on the front panel to slide. He is responsible for the detection mode - when you first turn the device automatically available for pairing, you might find it and start working. In general, management simple, it is not enough for a small headset arrangement is very successful, for all time use I've never had to think about where to click for a particular action.The buttons are pressed clearly, with a click.

Food

Claimed battery of the device during a call is 5.5 hours, standby time - about 200 hours (in press information, identifies eight days). As shown, the numbers almost match the reality, I decided to test the headset away from traditional merrymaking with endless phone calls on Skype and just used the device. Was particularly interesting to try to disconnect the headset when it is unnecessary, power button is very convenient and made with the expectation of such a scenario. In general, it is possible to achieve for the week, if you do not forget to turn off H12, the result is good. But how many people will do just as I am? Intuition suggests that this is not true when it comes to drivers, they will constantly be included H12, not to lose a second. Here you can talk about a confident work for three days at two - two and a half hours of talk time. To summarize, I note that on the parameters of the model does not particularly stands out among its competitors.

Connector for charging on the body do not, you will need to use either a stand or box, if you move away from familiar places, forget about it impossible. Charger microUSB, the same as that of the RAZR2, that is unformatted, as I understand, the market they have not yet encountered.

Communication with the phone, sound quality

Thus, the most interesting. In a headset applied technology CrystalTalk, you can read more about it in the review RAZR2 (reference to the phone). As for headsets, a number of products will be used this brand, but what does it mean? I will give English description of technology:

«The MOTOPURE H12 is a revolutionary new advancement in mobile communication and is the first headset with Motorola's proprietary audio-enhancing technology, CrystalTalk ™ for headsets, allowing users to better hear and be heard in dynamic noise environments. Providing an unmatched combination of superior sound quality with style and comfort, it is made for people on the go to use in a true dynamic noise environment.

The CrystalTalk for headsets technology - noise cancellation previously only found in handsets - naturally enhances the audio experience with consistent, constant noise reduction. The CrystalTalk feature on the MOTOPURE H12 is always on, from the moment you turn on your headset. It is the future of audio technology, delivering maximum audio performance for people on-the-go in the noisiest environments.Where one microphone is good, two are better, particularly in dynamic noise environments such as walking down a busy street, talking in a crowded restaurant or catching a flight at the airport. The MOTOPURE H12 uses dual microphones to separate the user's voice from background and wind noise, enhancing the voice and channeling pure, clear audio directly into the user's ear. The dual microphones work together to silence the background noise, allowing people to hear you better as you talk on-the-go ».

The familiar scheme with two microphones, is not it? Now look at the headset, or rather on her size. As can be seen on the front of the speaker microphone is closed, if the Jawbone they were separated, then there are just side by side. Good in this little, despite the fact that the H12 so far - the tiny headset with such a system. And, as you can see, the thickness of the device, most likely caused it to dvuhmikrofonnoy system and capacious battery, which formed, in addition to everything else, and the burden of feeding the second microphone.

In testing I used a Sony Ericsson W880i, true workhorse. Pairing almost immediately, the password standard, "0000". Voice quality, oddly enough, in a completely quiet environment callers complain about something I supposedly am far away from the phone when nearby were strange noises, then the complaints have been exactly the same. The main claim to voice - volume, in H12 audibility and quality is excellent, but on the other side not. If you cover up the headset hand, it is possible to improve the quality of voice, but to identify the trend I have not succeeded. It is possible that this deficiency can be resolved firmware, and it is here again, this volume. With the W880i to the headset does not transfer ringtones (exposed to normal mode), she played on the phone, in H12 was heard a trill. Generally, there is something strange with SonyEricsson devices in this respect, to make pass the melody wherever necessary, is obtained with difficulty.

All the standard functions work perfectly: press once - start voice dialing, press and hold - dials the last number. Headset works with Skype, this is probably all you can say. Multipoint technology is not supported, that is to get together and work with your phone and a laptop device will not work.

It is possible that with phones from Motorola everything will be different, and the sound quality will be quite different. But I just put myself in the place of the user who purchased a specific product and use it in everyday activities. To clear my conscience I tried a bunch of Samsung Symphony, with the Nokia N93 - the result was nearly the same everywhere.

Conclusions

Most likely, the headset will be available in December this year. Moment itself is successful, but let's for a second Tear off the fever begins New Year's eve and look at things sensibly. In particular, the pros and cons.

  • Designed with metal rather pleasant than not
  • Package is good, especially pleases in epplovski magnetized pad cradle
  • Convenient control
  • Easy to wear
Now the cons:

  • Voice quality, despite the use of technology, the average
  • Design a closer look might scare from buying
Review of Bluetooth-headset Motorola MOTOPURE H12
The headset will be called the Motorola MOTOPURE H12, the word «pure» often be used in press releases and promotional materials. Speaking of advertising: it is possible that especially for the H12 will be advertising on the Internet (already appears on the sly), and on television, possibly in pair with any phone. Through this you can count on buyers' interest, and even on sale, but will return to the common view of things.

After all, the device will cost about four thousand. And this is the very field where grazing accessories such as the Jabra JX-10 in different variations, expensive devices from Nokia, at least the same BH-803 (it does not have CrystalTalk, but the quality is much, much better). And I can not say that the H12 though in something better than these devices, rather the worse voice quality and design (although this is subjective). Exit JX-20 is postponed, apparently for the first quarter of 2008, the product has not even announced, but it exists and acts as a serious threat to any enhancement of high price category.

I understand the desire of experts from Motorola and among aksessuariki show its presence in all segments. But the headset with a noise reduction system might well have been done and large, in the end, the same Jawbone is not small, and has already become a kind of symbolic thing. MOTOPURE could be quite different, there had to chase the sound quality, design, and not the miniature, which is no surprise. I can recommend a product to purchase only brand to fans and to all who are willing to put up with poor quality voice transmission for the sake of design. All other citizens seeking an expensive headset, I refer to the side Jabra, Nokia, and Jawbone. If there will be firmware or modified designs, then I will correct view, that's when it will be an interesting solution, it is quite competitive.

  • Profile Bluetooth: 2.0
  • Weight: 12 grams
  • Wearing: removable bow
  • Hours Talk Time: 5.5 hours
  • Standby: 200 hours
  • Features: currently the most miniature headset with noise reduction system based on the use of two microphones
