I think that even infants are already aware that the Apple iPhone for the phone to pick up the headset is extremely difficult. No, the problem of no concern for complete and is quite suitable for the vast majority of users, but among them there is a small group who can not sit still and want to change.

Package Contents: Headphones Carrying Case Nozzles These headphones have been announced in the autumn of 2008 together with new models of iPod, updating is quite logical, the previous plug-in model existed in the market quite a long time, causing surprise and confusion at times. As the owner of the previous model, I can only say one thing: for the money that ask for this very thing, you can buy a much better model. And given the fact that many manufacturing companies in recent years, especially "vybelivayut" some headphones, pick up stylistically compatible addition does not cause problems. So, in the autumn of 2008 fans and lovers of stamps was a surprise. The new headphones are a small clique of so-called models with balanced armature. It is time. Two - the presence on the microphone cable and remote control. Three - not quite clear moments associated with the destination device. In the list of supported devices, we find the iPod Classic, iPod Nano last generation ... and all. Neither the iPod Touch, or iPhone. On the Web can be found scattered ordering information, reviews of the device, by and large, add me like it is nothing. But on the other hand, none of the material I read is not satisfied.

Therefore, in order of becoming, begin testing.

Overview of the external battery Mophie Juice Pack Air

Package Contents: Battery USB-cable User In the article "equips iPhone» I explained in detail his relationship to an accessory for your device. Logically, when there is a cult device, there appear many companies stuck, sometimes openly parasites of famous name. What's the benefit - is very easy to understand: of any, even the unnecessary and foolish, thing brothers journalists always write the news, this will be discussed veshchichki fans and certainly not sink into obscurity. It's amazing how in each earpiece or on each earpiece not write in a conspicuous place of compatibility with the products of Apple, because clearly this is the way to fame. It is logical that among the diversity add-ons for "apple" of products to find something sensible, fit is not so simple as it might seem.

One day I'll write an article, letters from readers about such artefacts send a lot, we just gather them all together.

Gizmo is made very carefully, has a logo on the front side of the ROKR, it is not very noticeable, in fact, stamped on plastic. Behind a closed battery compartment cover is interesting as the cable for connecting to portable devices hidden in the same place, that is in the stowed position you have a smooth rectangle of small size, which smells a new gadget. I am very impressed deliberate squareness of design, color combination - black body, silver hinges, incidentally, uses a velvety matte plastic, where the logo ROKR, he painted and quickly zalyapyvaetsya. While you can just leave it alone.
