In some ways, by Plantronics is very similar to to Dell. Both are U.S. citizens (with some reservations, of course), both long time catered to the corporate sector and continue to do so until now. Both came on the market of consumer electronics for a wide-eyed, they say, like this interesting, new, cool. For Dell, this campaign resulted in the creation of a number of strange laptops that are somewhere between consumer and corporate, and Plantronics, too, were such strange model. Suffice it to recall P590 Pulsar - seems to be a wireless stereo headset for geeks, young people, but it was, and frankly some incomprehensible things like strongly protruding microphone, frankly dull appearance. However, if you look past models of both companies, we see a remarkable Plantronics Discovery 975, and a number of good low-cost models. The Dell has Adamo and Alienware, plus low-cost line, in the general interest. But the esprit de corps can not be eradicated. And let it be, if only to equipment containing it, worked well.

Design, construction

The headset is big, and that's it, no compromises, no attempts to do miniaturization. The massive bow, a long "leg" microphone, perforated area surrounding the microphone, made of iron. This is the only place where the metal, plastic housing, and use materials of different texture, with a different cover. Patent leather inset arch, its inner portion and bridge are generally made of relatively hard rubber. Silver area on the back side with the company name, black plastic legs microphone. All this variety leaves a good impression in the end - a thing. Big and "professional", because even the title sets up a serious way. Still, after all it's «Pro». Do without too much sarcasm, I understand that the creators wanted to say. In the course of the review and you will see that Plantronics would make the device even if no elegant design, but with some nice features and performance. Therefore, I think it looks quite good Pro to assemble any of claims - is not quite right tailored, but very firmly sewn. Tune in to a serious mood. A long time since I've never seen a headset with a weight equal to about 18 grams. Well, okay, okay.

The device comes in a fairly simple package included the usual things, nothing more.There is, incidentally, a very interesting USB-cable, it can be bent as desired, the plastic sheath shape memory, it is convenient.

Wearing

Wear Pro is very convenient. Well, how else such a massive bow very well and exactly "sit" on the ear, nothing rubs anywhere, the headset is not flies, even at sharp angles. With two hinges, you can adjust the device to be worn on the left or right ear, it is convenient. The indicator light is made unusually, he seemed to be perforated, not very noticeable from the outside. Nozzle on the dynamics of a simple form, in general, if we talk about the Pro, everything here is subject to the same goal - to quickly attach a long time to wear, remember that your ear is something there at all. Weight is not felt.

Management

Multi-function button is not visible, it is located on the outer side of the speaker. Standard set of functions - to answer and end calls, switch between the lines, call transfer from headset to phone, mute. There are also voice alerts, for example, if battery power is low, the pleasant voice of the English will tell you about it. On top are the volume buttons, they are comfortable, do not have long to find them. Since the headset is great, with no control at all no problem, everything is at hand, everything is clear, everything is logical.

Hours

Claimed battery life of six hours of talk time and one hundred twenty hours of standby time, for such a great headset is not very great. Charging time from the network - and a half hours from the USB-port this time is doubled.In fact, the headset operates on a conversation five o'clock twenty minutes - frankly a little. Is on the market much more miniature devices with running time twice as large. On the other hand, uses a standard connector microUSB, so you can always recharge the Pro in the office, and in the car.

But few, it is still not enough. I was expecting at least ten hours.

Voice quality

Profile is used Bluetooth 2.1 with EDR, in the presence of all proprietary technologies Plantronics, it AudioIQ (two microphones, echo cancellation, DSP, etc.), and WindSmart - perforated steel "shields" to protect the microphone from the wind. Plus long limb microphone provides excellent position, he is close to the mouth, so that you do not need to raise your voice, to cover the headset hand, even when near someone (something) is very noisy. Voice quality is perfect, the voice of the interlocutor has specific notes , is a complete illusion conversation with a fairly good phone. Fairly good quality speech transmission, for example, a Motorola RAZR 2. For in-car Pro at all perfect, really advise you.

Supported by technology Multipoint, I tried to connect the device to the iPhone and SE Aino simultaneously, no problem. Follow the instructions and you will be happy.

Conclusions

All good device, except that time can not fully justify the name - well, what is this Pro, if offline, headset can last only about six hours? This is not enough, in my opinion. Of course, it is very comfortable to wear, comfortable control, sound quality is excellent, but if you critical time in the "autonomous navigation", it is better to look at another product. In Russia, until the product is not available officially, but if you wanted to join after reading, then cook a little more than six thousand. In my opinion, the price is not entirely justified. Because when it comes to such expensive Bluetooth-accessories, then immediately arises compared with the Jawbone, but that thing is already playing on another field, where the high price justifies the design, product name. About Plantronics such can not say. Headset with two microphones - not uncommon in our market, so you can look at anything else. For example, a Jabra BT530, even very good option in terms of functionality all exactly the same thing.
