Long time my hands did not get mono from Nokia, as far as I can remember the last time I was tormented Nokia BH-900 about six months ago. The current situation with a line of wireless accessories, virtually unchanged, the bet is made of medium-and low monoustroystva in the near future the company has no plans (as they say the company) Update for expensive devices and headsets. Today we will talk about one of the novelties of this Nokia BH-208, virtually a perfect product in the middle segment. I say this with full responsibility.
Design and construction
It begins, as always, with a design, let's look closely at the 208-th. What do we see? See that it has branded features, looking at her, remembering and Nokia BH-500 and Nokia LD-2, and somehow it reminds even Nokia 6233. The point here is in some kind of circularity, which is not taken frivolously and materials used - the upper part of the soft-touch plastic, a sort of soft-touch. The bottom of the headset is made entirely of another, lacquered plastic, it is not so good. More about the design: the headset, in principle, a miniature, but in my pocket it will not lose, the size is acceptable. On the ear it is quite noticeable, but not particularly attracted attention - a kind of black, funny-looking little thing. Despite the fact that it is an inexpensive product (the phrase I had not time to repeat the survey), it looks rich, complete, the design is very difficult to find fault, even me, a well-known skeptic and whiner. People to whom I showed the product had a different view of the design seemed very simple, no frills, few people shrugged their shoulders, returning my 208-th, the answers were like: 'Yeah, cool ... ".As a result, enthusiasm was not until I may need to be slightly rotated aksessuarike to feel it.
For girls or boys it? Serious question, because after reading someone of you may well want to buy it, but in the minds of zasyadut dropped by an editor saying about gender, that will burn you and not give to spend honestly earned money (if I say that it is for girls and You - a boy). Thus, the headset - a full unisex, it is not shameful to wear either a boy or girl. But all the same to clear my conscience I will say that 208-I am more masculine than the female.
Way of wearing, comfort
This headset is the traditional design, with removable bow. However, there is a hitherto unprecedented stealth, which are worth mentioning. As you can see, there is a protrusion of soft rubber that rests against the ear and captures the headset. Moreover, he also performs the role of a damper, which adjusts to just under your ear, so the headset is extremely comfortable to wear. Frankly, there is no bow at all, everything is very myagonko, cozy and well. The same can be said about the rubber nozzle on the dynamics of silicone and replace it with foam does not want his ear does not suffer. In general, the average price for the product easy to wear on top. With glasses headset can be worn if the thin airfoil. To change the ear, you must remove the shackle from the headset and to change its position, then I have a little pleased squeak that is heard in sliding shackle and pin the finished rubber. Basically, it's not a big problem.
Management
At the moment, only Nokia in its low-cost products are sold at a management level.Judge for yourself, the traditional volume keys do not have a very nice lever, something like a corporate wheel on the products of Sony. Button to activate a separate, and in fact usually performs this function multifunction key. Little about the latter: it is quite large, almost sticking out so it can be felt, made a ledge-limiter. Management should be commended, and not say that this budget headset, so everything is organized. Push button pleasure, as well as adjust the volume, I can not say, except that would suggest to all manufacturers follow the example of such implementation.
Pleased me and the light, it is neat, not crudely, as some low cost products (light spot in the half unit) is red or blue depending on what you are doing with the device.
Food
As stated by the manufacturer, the headset can operate in a conversation about six and a half hours of standby time - about 150 hours. Here we use the battery capacity of 1975 mAh, Li He-ion polymer. In practice, the device is quite normal was kept for about two days with not much heavy use (about two and a half hours of talks, all the time, was included). This is a good result.
Charging the device from a standard charger with a thin slot, charging time - about an hour.
Communication with the phone and sound quality
I tested the headset with your smartphone SonyEricsson P990, which will soon fall into the category InUse. Pairing occurred without any problems, thanks to Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR device need not enter into pairing mode, simply turn the search on the product and she gets into your network (yes, 208-I, too, must be included). Code to confirm standards, it's "0000". In my arms was a pre-sale sample is probably why the calls in the headset was some background noise which disappears as soon as the call ended. However, let's see if it disappears when you are a commercial copy. The volume is quite good, it lacks that concerns the quality of voice transmission, it can be evaluated on a solid "four", is very good. Another would be to remove the background noise, it would be generally healthy. With the P990i to the headset did not signal a call from Samsung E590 everything was in order, installed a melody played in the dynamics. Work correctly Auto-redial the last dialed numbers, activate voice dialing. The parties often had no idea about what to say to them using "telephone intermediary. Link quality is sufficient reliable operating range is about 3-4 meters, then the problems begin. The headset works without problems with Skype, thanks for that profile 2.0.
Conclusions
Pros and cons of the product:
Good Design
Excellent ergonomics
Well-organized management
Not a bad time
Cons:
Voice quality could be smoother
That's it.Cost in the headset will retail around 70 dollars, trust me, this money is spent, if you're looking for something extremely balanced and comfortable. To a competitor, I can include products of the same price from the SE, in principle, you can look at this brand headsets with DSP. Finally, I will recommend BH-208 to purchase.
