Design, construction
Appearance of the device is extremely simple, it's small size pendant, pendant, since the form is not quite clear, as it were flattened. Not to say that the design of strikes, it's simple and not particularly elegant. Assembling at a height, dense, play, and no squeaks, the materials used are pleasant, are resistant to damage. In addition to plastic and rubber is used, because it made the volume rocker on the end, a connector for charging at the bottom, he has not covered. As you can see from the block come out two headphone cable, they are connected to a jumper by adjusting its position, you choose the length required for a comfortable wearing around his neck. While it is possible to put the 103rd in his pocket. But the fact that the main body there is no clamping is not good at walking headset dangling. Second favorite is not currently associated with long cable, I'm growing more than one meter eighty, at the maximum elevated bridge (when you turn the head headphones almost pop) headset hangs around the solar plexus, as a natural kulonchik. Jewelry except a wedding ring, do not use it, sincerely believe that the only thing a man can be worn as a decoration, are the clock (well, and referred to the ring, although it can and hide when necessary), so the original accessory so I can not cast it into a state of euphoria . On the contrary, I put it in your shirt pocket and listened to so without putting on his neck.
Management
In BH103 refused, in fact, of all the controls available to the user only the volume keys Yes multifunction key. Rocker in my sample tugovat, which is typical for a prototype, the commercial version of this shortcoming will be eliminated. The central button also works fine for entering into pairing mode, press and hold her for several seconds until the indicator flashes. It is located on the front panel is small in size, can be solid green or red depending on what is happening, winks with a gap of several seconds to indicate to you about their work. In addition, the center button turns on / off the headset, you can activate voice dialing, but the last number redial, I did not work, then whether it would not be here at all, whether it is a prototype of the trouble. Refine all the time.
Food
No surprises here, the manufacturer promises to work for seven hours of talk time, listening to music, one hundred and fifty hours of standby time, charging unit and a half hours. Function of fast-charge is absent, so that we do not forget to charge it. Testing was simple: the device was connected to the Nokia N81, previously held several charge / discharge cycles. Sound is full, has been involved random playback mode, the calls are not accepted - nothing but music. As a result, BH103 worked six hours a penny, an hour less than the stated amount. Surprisingly, but in real life impression that it lasts longer, as soon as I take her away from the mission, it was connected to the Samsung Soul, listening to music on it for about two hours, there have been conversations. Then, recharge the unit for half an hour, I again plunged into hiding, and yet it somewhere hour served as a music day. Night without charge, and another the next day, about two and a half hours of music and conversation. In general, do not say that this record, no, but you feel it more easily than with the DS-200. Although the difference is not so great.
Communication with the phone, voice quality
Like I said, the device was tested with the Nokia N81, Samsung Soul, fast connection, the password standard, 0000. The headset supports Bluetooth 2.1 profile with EDR, Handsfree profile (HFP) 1.5, Headset profile (HSP) 1.1, Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) 1.0, we face a typical "filling" of the sample year 2008. Here I would like to talk about the quality of voice: DSP is missing, but your voice is heard well, like you hear a great speaker. The calculation is that you take the Thing in his hands and podnesete closer to your mouth, so the result is good, but if she hangs on his chest, then things are not so rosy. In noisy environments (eg, wind), the problem starts in the car all is well up to that time, until you open the window and will not incur a rate more than a hundred miles an hour. If you still lean out, it will not hear anything. With the windows shut to talk absolutely normal.Voice dialing works well, about the last number redial, I have already said. Range is not amazing, it is four meters high, tested in the apartment.
Musical ability
Basically, this option is checked with the Nokia N81, though Soul proved to be good - no matter how strange, but it was not a music phone sounds even louder 81st and even slightly better. As to the BH103, I would like to draw your attention to here is some detail: the headphones can not be changed. However, here we use good quality plugs, picking up tips on taste and thoroughly clogged ear canal, you can get pretty good sound quality, it is clear, loud, not much different from wired headsets Nokia, existing at the moment. Of course, this is not the quality of the overhead rich in a pair of headphones with a good player, however, for the desertions of the city, plays in the transport set from the phone and the headset more than adequate. Naushnichki small in size, are not marked (or rather have, but it was invisible), and this is even cut, I can not understand why a wonderful BH903 does not have these headphones? That is strongly reflected in the price would be (there already seems to me that much of a difference would not have been a demon expensive)? Or just do not like the music stereo (which is just weird)?
Conclusions
While the official price is unknown, I can only assume that such a product might cost in retail somewhere in one thousand seven hundred rubles, and nothing more. But if the price is lower than one and a half thousand, then sales will be especially good. Let me explain why I think this price is adequate.No playback controls, there is a direct competitor - SE DS-220, which works fine with the apparatus of Nokia, it sounds comparable to work a little less, but in case there is a button Play / Stop, you can connect your headphones. The price is about two thousand (two hundred, to be exact). There is still a budget option, as IQUA BHS-702, there for nine hours, good headphones, price is also around two thousand, with the controls too wonderful (similar to BH-103). Have a wonderful Sony DR-BT10CX, which also costs a little more than two thousand, but it included a cradle, headphones can not be changed, but they are good, controls are no music (only the volume key and the answer), but there are already 11 hours in autonomy, plus the ability to change the battery.If Nokia made it possible for customers to buy BH-103 at a specified price, then it would have swept like hot cakes, it seems to me. For, although this is the easiest headset, while the small, but with major his duties, it does a very good thing. If the price is more than two thousand rubles, or recommend it to buy, I can not, better pay attention to the above-mentioned Sony DR-BT10CX. In addition, the very hope that it is with the 103rd will begin a period when some models will be bundled stereo headset, it seems to me that the moment this is already here, as our surveys, the availability of such things seriously improves the ratio to the unit in the eyes of the consumer.
