Design, construction
There is a pretty good accessory on the SE, called the MBS-100. This is a round column, I talked about her experience in the operation of Sony Ericsson W880. Good thing, interesting, I know several people who have bought a home or office. And beautiful, and you can listen to music from your phone, well, just a favorite treat. After MBS-100 round trend continued, this MBS-200. I saw her, but somehow never reached his hands to write, it is more than the MBS-100, lacks the charm of this model. Just round column, nothing beautiful. When it was announced MBS-900, the figure itself is in the title is slightly confused. Then I looked at the official photos - the size of straight boom-box of some sort. But then one has the right man handed me a bag, which was a large cardboard box. The package was not particularly heavy, but rather heavy. And so I brought the box home, opened it. Looked. Indeed, numbers have meaning. The column is massive, it is inconvenient to keep the one hand, the best two. It will be bigger than my home audio microsystem. Health is such a thing, in short. Immediately I recalled the story Averchenko about dad, who always lugging home a terrible broken clock, giant bowls. That memory led to a slightly nervous laugh, when I adjust MBS-900 between AppleTV and PS3, thinking about what I would say the wife in the evening. Not a house, and mediamarkt - and it's not the worst of insults.
Display and menus
The front panel has a small OLED-display, it is very bright, flashy, just hurts your eyes. Understand the management is not so easy to read instructions. Or not to read it and click on all buttons at once and wait when it starts to smoke (just kidding). In general, the column includes the top-most button on the right side (if that word can apply to a rounded body). She specifically highlighted, so do not miss it. Buttons under it intended to call the menu, the first button is responsible for everything connected with Bluetooth. Hold the button - activated the pairing mode. The column can be stored in the information on up to five devices, using all the same key, you can choose them. Below is a button call, FM-receiver, it is built, the phone does not. It is best to immediately attach the antenna, so you can "catch" a lot more stations. Affects only frequency, RDS not. Also has five tabs, as in the menu Bluetooth, not only here device, and the station, you can configure. The third button activates a mode for listening to music from an external device connected via cable 3,5-3,5 mm. It's much easier as dirt. All the keys on the front of the sensor is Play / Pause, REW and FF. Below is a key musical settings, well and complements all bogachestvo interesting to make a volume indicator. Finger out - the volume increases. In the other direction - decreasing. It's on paper it should be. In fact, the sensors work, like almost all of the sensors. That is, through time. Maybe it's just a prototype so works, and commercial samples, all will fly. But while the situation is. Sometimes you push, you push the button "+" and the speaker thinks.Think, and suddenly increase the volume to full. Type himself volunteered. All households are very glad yesterday at four o'clock in the morning.
Communication with the phone, sound quality
I must say that my expectations were justified - it is best MBS-900 is behaving with radio and phone number (player), connected by cable. When connecting via Bluetooth appears hoarseness, the sound of some unseasoned, flat, uninteresting. Not alive. Try radio (antenna connected). Not bad, to some extent, can serve as a substitute a small music system. Connect the cable iPhone - well, very well. Loud, clear, beautiful, interesting. I even wanted to buy white inconspicuous cable 3,5 - 3,5 mm and use this column in the daily activities. For the study, incidentally, very good thing, especially if you work in an office with a laptop. It was possible to connect to it, which I did. Used Lenovo S10, I liked it. For the Voice office or great room is enough.
Conclusions
Well, why do companies need MBS-900? Which is presented along with the W705? Its you, by the way, too, can see in the photos. And I say: the SE this year served as a speaker (and times) good news such occasions. And not just columns. First, a strange series of global announcement of female hours, when everyone waited for the announcement of phones. By the end of the year - the announcement of a sweet couple MBS900 + W705. That is, PR and marketing plug hole. The audience has an interest in future products SE, but since the phone-smartphone announcements are waiting for us in January, and there is nothing to show you can not show this here is a powerful speaker. As they say, is also an option.Cost, it will, judging from the price list of foreign online stores, at least four or five thousand. For that money can buy microsystem. And you can even add a little and take a small Sony Hi-Fi with Bluetooth (like a trick, though I do not know why). Accordingly, the accessory to be very good, interesting and high quality. One problem - shoppers will find hard. Unless you sell the 900-th complete with some Walkman. Still, there might be willing to buy her a gift. Or get a gift. I would not be refused. And you?
