Once the driver was forced to think about buying a headset for a conversation in the car market aksessuariki undergone quite dramatic change. For example, increased sales. There were various special events. Finally, some companies have realized that now consumers have to offer as many different typefaces at the lowest price, if earlier been calculated on the impulse buy, but now such things a pulse, but also quite consciously get people who do not pedestrians. And I fully understand this approach, say, law-abiding people do not like the headset, but realizes that the car is better still to use it. Accordingly, there is a need for something inexpensive, but more or less decent. Such solutions on the market is, but still not as much as we would like, you can see the hell-what model Jabra, there are such Motorola, there is no such a SE (a reason), and, of course, the company Nokia is also paying attention to this segment. Today's products - to a striking confirmation.
Design
Have probably a few dozen times I gave the recipe a successful budget product, this applies to both your phone and the headset, and in general for everything. The recipe is simple - no wonder. Well do not wise not to use lurid color, lurid tones, the lights and wise. "Wiser" leads to what is normally a consumer-oriented look, look, out of it-Thing out of it in his hands, spit, and buy something simpler. Producer does not know what is man, that he eats, where he lives, sleeps like that he loves and hates, because we are all unique. Therefore, the best way to catch the beat of the total - is not wise. What wiser, so disastrous in sales. What we are seeing in these headsets? We are witnessing the absence of the very "tricky" and it can not but rejoice. Things completely black, very simple but elegant design, austere. Indicator lights are small, inscribed in the rear end of the body in both cases, the material plain - lacquered unpainted plastic. At the front of the BH101 is the lining of rough plastic, it fits well in the face of the product, the BH102 elegance adds a strip out of it though. Company logos embossed on the plastic, invisible, this is another trend that's not only users of mobile phones and smartphones Nokia headset to buy the company. Summarize: for headsets cost a thousand look quite acceptable, pleasant enough, he does not strain. Of the assembly can not say the same thing: the body tight, not squeaky. Dimensions and weight (just over ten grams and is in both cases) are quite acceptable, you can wear the headset without any problems on a shirt, pants, jacket, pro and say nothing.
Way of wearing, comfort
The design of arches in different typefaces, the BH101 is quite thick, from bendable plastic, the shape can be formed as you wish. In BH102 bow thin, narrow, semi-transparent plastic, in both cases "earhook" can be removed. But be without it can only BH102, it is to do quite well adjusted, do not fall under any sudden movements. Accordingly, the kit is likely to be removable attachment to the speaker. Incidentally, the bow on the BH101 is removed with difficulty, structurally similar solutions we've seen in headsets Jabra (well, and who actually produces the BH101 and 102?), There is nothing surprising. And with that, and the other headset I have not passed one hour, with a bow more comfortable to wear BH101, sitting as poured, all very comfortable and good, but without the bow of a feel good BH102. Strap hole in the products do not.
Management
Since this is a low cost product, then wait for the availability of the heap keys is not necessary, and in fact, and in another case the entire process comes to a multi-functional element on the front of the two headsets. In BH101 is still the volume rocker, which is convenient, 102-I of its deprived. What else to say about management? Well, soft keys tugovat in both cases, using them is not very convenient (BH101 me, however, seemed to be preferable). Indicator lights, as I said, are small, are green, red or blue depending on the situation. For pairing, press and hold these same single key until the indicator glows steady blue. I understand that when you first turn on both the headset immediately goes into pairing mode, password standard, "0000".
Food
There is not any surprises, these statements are as follows: for the BH101 is 8 hours of talk time and 180 hours of standby for the BH102 - 10 hours of talk and 250 of "doing nothing". When connecting to a Nokia N81 8Gb and daily use was possible to establish the approximate truth: for the BH101 is about six hours of talk time (enough for a single charge of two and a half days off from the night), the BH102 declared values are close to reality, I had enough of its as much as four days, at night I turn off it, too. Full-charge time is a couple of hours, connector and charger standard "thin".In general, if we talk about cost products, the performance is quite decent.
Communication with the phone, sound quality
"What can I expect from you, dear" - I thought, even when he went out of the mission. There were no surprises, both the headset easily connect to N81, with easy to take all necessary functions such as last number redial, voice dialing, switching between the lines. Voice dialing, incidentally, works better in BH101, although the rest of the headset twins. As for voice quality, all good, clean, clear, the parties sometimes complained that I did not hear very well, this is the case with the BH102, and indeed, 101-I to me as something more like it. What else to say? Yes, perhaps more, and nothing in noisy environments you hear is not very good, range is about five meters, the melody, installed on the phone is easily transmitted to the headset, in silent mode you hear your own signal.
It was interesting to see this profile Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR, specifications are:
Headset Profile 1.1
Hansfree Profile 1.5
If you have an old Ericsson with Bluetooth (or Siemens), it is unlikely that you'll have to use the BH101 or 102 with these phones.
Conclusions
What's in BH101/102 is good and what's wrong? Let's go through the pros and cons.
Nice design, good build
Ability to be worn without bows (BH102)
Not a bad time
Not a bad voice quality (BH101)
Nice price
Cons:
Keys tight, uncomfortable
Wearing a bow rather painfully in the case of BH102
Voice quality in some cases is unacceptable (BH102)
Which competitors will pursue our heroines? This is primarily a budget "murderer" as Jabra BT2010, it costs a little more than a thousand, but has a very nice control. I'm not talking about how nothing would be more expensive things, because in the representation of a promise sweet price of 700-800 rubles, but that will be in retail ... There is also a very nice Plantronics 220, also with the price of slightly over one thousand, BH101/102 Is that look better.Have not gone away and the good old Jabra BT125/135, which are still quite comfortable feel on the shelves, though I do not like their appearance, but the people that love them. So, to sum up this way: if you described a couple of really going to cost much promise, it's a strong suggestion to which you should definitely pay attention to anyone who is looking for an inexpensive product. Meanwhile, if it chose two of them, I would have bought the BH-101, I liked it more.
