This model is still one of the possible additions to certain phones by Samsung. I recall that my firstborn was Headset Corby. Let this thing and not be called a breakthrough, but it appeared on the market at the right moment and completely suited to its second half - the same name calling. Headset Samsung HM1600 lit in advertising phone (smartphone?) Monte, let's see what it is interesting.

Design, construction

Just one glance at the headset, to notice the similarities to Monte: an unusual form of the side, a sort of wave. The device is not big and not small, not broad and not narrow - the size does not cause rejection, everything is absolutely normal. Corps of quality plastic, the front panel fairly easily soiled. At the ends of the insertion of silver plastic. It is covered with varnish, I doubt that will quickly sponge oneself down.

If the side is, what to see (well, at least unusual), then the front panel is boring. Visible to attempt to make a simpler, yes popraktichnee. Of course, HM1600 is not a top-end accessory, but it would be more diversity and interesting notions. This device is in a different design, black and yellow, the advertisement is a Monte HM1600.

Weight Headset ten grams, which is typical for such stuff.

Summing up on the headset, I can not see that there are some raisins. Unusually placed podium dynamics: a simple front panel hides an undulating shape. Seemingly calm and classic, but something is there.

Wearing

The headset can be worn with a bow or not, it can be easily removed and rearranged. Made of transparent plastic, thin, never rubs and does not cause problems. A good find is the use of a narrow catwalk dynamics and silicone tips. Seemingly are using a headset, but the impression - both on the headphones.This approach has a positive effect not only on convenience but also on the quality of voice transmission. Due to better sound insulation interlocutor well heard, even if there screaming music system.

The headset is not flies at sudden movements, it is quite possible to use the gym or running.

Management

There is no need to quibble, there is double the volume buttons, a large multifunction button on the front. With its help is the answer to the call and end call, last number redial, activate voice dialing. Interestingly, that was added to a separate power button. For those who have not previously used such devices, it is much easier "relationship" with the enhancement. At the end - a small indicator light that can be used to determine the remaining battery power, the process is described in detail in the instructions.

Button, clear, reasonably tight, pressing the place with a click. In general, no problem. Automatic entry into pairing mode works with any phone, you do not need to enter your password

Multipoint

The headset can work with two devices simultaneously, the scheme is unusual pairing. After connecting with the first device, press and hold volume up button to activate the multipoint. Then on the second phone to include Bluetooth and discover HM1600. Then you need more time to connect the first device. Simple? In principle, yes. Room was successful. Breakdown occurs with the iPhone and Nexus One, and eventually managed to get a bunch of work. However, after some time, "fell off» Nexus. The reason I do not know for sure, we had to connect it again.

Do not tire of repeating that the multipoint - did not merit, for whom should I buy a headset. While this feature in any of the headsets did not satisfy me.

Hours

Claimed battery life is 7 hours of talk time and 400 hours of standby time. MicroUSB socket covered by a flap. Kept it tight, and it is unlikely it will lose or tear an awkward movement. Charger included good with it without any problems could "power up» Nexus One, Blackberry. Unlike memory, complete with Jabra, everything is in order. So after buying you will not even one, but two useful accessories.

Communication with the phone, sound quality

The headset was tested in a pair of iPhone 3Gs, Nexus One, Blackberry 9700. With all devices pairing went without a hitch. Supported profile Bluetooth 2.1 with EDR, operating range is about six meters.

There is an automatic volume control, a system of noise suppression and echo cancellation, except to say that I have not had to raise his voice or make other unnecessary movements. In a room where not particularly loud music playing and talking more than comfortable. In the car on the street - too.

Conclusions

Headset without a problem, the representative of the so-called "core" class, where functionality goes hand in hand with the low price. For starters, talk about the pros:

• Good appearance
• Good ergonomics
• Convenient management, the method of carrying
• Working with two phones
• Effective noise reduction and automatic volume control

Very much everything is harmonious and peaceful, and now this, perhaps, lies the disadvantage. I would recommend the company to pay more attention to the design of the set, with the functionality already okay.

With a pure heart can not recommend HM1600 to purchase. The official price is unknown, but I think it will be very, very attractive (for such a functional headset).
