With headsets, the company Southwing I knew even in absentia three years ago, when the company tried to come to our country, so yes something and did not come. Rather, occasionally it was possible to meet these sets somewhere on computer collapse, but only just. This year will be the second attempt, with already a much more meaningful, prepared and, importantly, with competitive products. I just then have four new sets, and soon you'll learn all about them. I note that there is one musical model, quite a good, similar to the BH-503 from Nokia.
Design, construction
So get acquainted with the SH240: a mono, black, artfully made. See, she bent and not divided by the base unit and a microphone, it is all merged together, you just paste it into your ear and start using. I note that on the back side is an interesting addition - this clip to a shirt pocket or pants, as disclosed clip is not much to fix will come out only on something subtle, but still nice. As I understand it, edging made of metal or of a very sturdy plastic, but rather, it is still metal, the assembly is quite good in places, though there are extra slots, and other flaws, but the appearance is virtually no effect, the device looks good. Used velvety plastic, it is good, the button on the front of the rough, the charging plug does not masked, located behind the microphone hole on the bottom near the "nose" device.
Construction and Design, in principle, more pleased than disappointed, I will say this: the product is neutral, suitable for both men and women who are not very noticeable on the ear. It would be worse, bear it any bright color.
Headset weighs about ten grams on the ear does not feel at all.
Way of wearing, comfort
The headset can be worn with or without bail, secured it in a special slot under the clip below - the original idea and execution. I did not like the bow, with her unit as a ottopyrivaetsya aside, and a sense of reliability is not there, so I abused it for an hour and set aside. Much more convenient to use the headset just so the nozzle to the speaker is very comfortable, I note that when you only open the packaging on the nozzle is bumazhechka, which must be removed before use. I have no arch headset sat well, do not fly when jumping and grimaces, I can safely recommend that those involved are not very active in sports. Swim with the SH240, I would not.
Specially marked by a special loop in the set, she is inserted into the charger connector, and then you can bind your headset to your phone. A very good solution, in my opinion, especially for those who are genuine Mary-rasteryasha. I recommend immediately attach this thing, and then everything will be good in life and work.
Management
In fact, the entire front portion of the device is a multifunction key, if we talk about the basic features, then this is the answer and hang up calls, switching between the lines, activating voice dialing, switching on and off - all this is happening when you click on the central part of the button to the left of the area and the right answer for the volume control. All this is typical, no problems.
But there are interesting features. For example, in memory of the headset you can record your favorite room, this proprietary technology Push 4: after a call from this number and hang up, you can press a certain key combination, and it will remain in memory, then you can quickly dial this number by clicking on the second multifunction key. Cool? Well, I thought it curious, immediately wrote back room of his wife. The second feature - the ability to change ringtones headset, I do not know, that's not much I need. Then, it may be true for a number of phones, where the melody is not transferred to the headset due to various reasons, but, for example, devices from Nokia is just characteristic of the normal transfer any tune in the wireless device. So in this feature, in my opinion, there is no special meaning. Although, of course, to someone this may seem curious.
In general, the headset is very easy to work Pryderi except to control lamp: not only that it is located on the front side, so more and burns like a dull, light up the first letters of the name brand. Now, most manufacturers are hiding at the bottom of the indicator, I dare say, and consumers do not like light, like a Christmas tree.
Food
Claimed battery life is eight hours of talk time and two hundred and fifty hours of standby time, charging time - about two hours.In practice, the figure is not quite confirmed, we can speak of almost seven hours of talk time, if you turn off the headset at night and talk somewhere for an hour a day, then you have enough of its four days. Battery charger - microUSB, headset can be charged from the USB-port of the computer memory is not difficult to find, so you can not fear losing it. Another thing is that such vehicle "zaryadok" on sale, I have not seen. Venture to suggest that somewhere they are still deep.
Communication with the phone, sound quality
Headset when you first start automatically goes into pairing mode, password standard, "0000". Used iPhone, the device has been found to involve, but does not want to work, unfortunately. Took the Nokia E71, with her everything was fine, the connection reliability due to the profile Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR. Voice quality is good, you hear a good conversationalist, and, accordingly, you have it. True, this is true, until you get a lot of noise, like loud music from the laptop speakers, or when the open car window, and you go to the "third". Although it is quite a way to communicate normally. I do not know, especially not to find fault with anything.
Conclusions
The funny thing is that the SH240 will cost about three hundred thousand rubles in retail, maybe a bit more expensive. Thus there is a pretty good design, simple operation, the normal time, some unique things like a special way of attachment to the phone (although, if desired with any headset you can do the same thing, using the means available), store favorite number, change ringing tones. But we must realize that brand in our country as yet unknown, in addition, for this price you can buy a range of products from Jabra. I will not say how the latter looks better in the minds and eyes of people who came to the salon for communication headset. However, if the company Southwing make efforts to promote the brand by working with retailers, advertising and so on, then anything can happen. Honestly, I would not have bought the SH240, but recommend it to buy can easily, if you're looking for something interesting inexpensive, pay attention to it.
