The headset was announced at the end of the year 2008, when I first saw her, I was seized with astonishment. The fact that this type of mono released six years ago, had a similar product from Nokia, from Sony Ericsson, they cost cheaper than their traditional counterparts, while not making the user look like a robot gobota. In-ear headphones, the unit is fastened to the jacket, the phone in your pocket. Convenient for those who for whatever reason can not bring myself to equip traditional ear headset. Despite these advantages, this type of headset is not caught on in the market, and that in 2008 the year of a revival. If you do not have access to some information, we can say that Nokia decided to use an old trend to dilute the line. If access to some to have, then we can say that in the Samsung, and Sony Ericsson are planning to do the same. Interestingly, right? It is clear that the companies' plans, not yet officially submitted such a device may change, but the Nokia BH-215 on the market will fall. Moreover, at first my opinion on this stuff was purely negative. But for common reflection, not yet seeing the product, I came to interesting conclusions. See, for an external unit with an external speaker does not need to do very very small. And if so, it is possible to place a good battery. And to make the perfect headset for those who are not chasing the image, but needs quality and LP for solving everyday negotiations. Until now, there are many people who use wired mono, I was particularly struck in this regard, the film Body of lyes, where an important part of what is happening is the negotiation with the help of such accessories. I think, Nokia BH-215 would fit perfectly as a replacement.

Design, construction

The headset is quite large, it naturally applies to the base unit. Plastic gray, gritty, not varnished, feelings are pleasant to the touch. The assembly seemed to me a very dense, like this would have with the phone. It is clearly seen the desire of designers to tie the product to the Eseries, the look is far from boring, but not playful - strictly business-like. As mentioned above, the headset is rather "plump", the impression is created and due to the fact that on the back is a powerful clip. Notice how it finished - on the clip and the body has rubber pads, the device is securely fastened to the lapel of a shirt, jacket, but it does not damage clothing. True, the device can pull a pocket, the weight is not so small, about eighteen grams (size is 50x23x16.2 mm). On the back of a seizure, it can accommodate the cable. The cable is not particularly long, long enough to attach the headset to the inner pocket of his jacket.Actually, about the way of wearing and add nothing to the headset is small in size and equipped with soft silicone nozzle, the microphone is in the area of ​​the chin, in general, everything is as it should.

Management

Located at the end of the volume rocker on the front - multifunction button, she is responsible for responding to the challenge, its completion. Interestingly, not forgotten about the microphone directly on this small block is a small sliding button, it can help to activate the Mute (mute). Do not forget about the power key, it can be found at the upper end, close to the narrow little indicator light. When you first turn the unit automatically goes into pairing mode, the LED is blinking green light, we can only detect the device with your phone, enter the code (0000). All the keys are distinct, the management is very easy to get used to.

Operating time

As stated by the manufacturer, the headset can work for ten hours of talk time or two hundred hours of standby time, built-in lithium-polymer battery has a capacity of 110 mAh, like a little, but in practice it turns out that was carried out some work to optimize energy consumption. Indeed, you can easily count on these same ten hours, maybe a little less, but still not so many devices can boast the same results. Used a typical charger connector is on the end of the headset charging time - about two hours.

Communication with the phone, sound quality

The headset was tested with a smartphone Nokia N96, phone iPhone. Although one of them more than a smartphone - hard to say.So, with conjugation had no problems absolutely no, none of the devices, things quickly, clearly. Automatic connection after pairing occurs quickly and correctly. This model does not work with two phones simultaneously. As for voice quality, the device seemed perfect in this regard, the interlocutor is heard well, a good interlocutor hears you - honestly, I do not see much difference with wired headsets. Yes, and it do not exist. The headset was tested under different conditions, and in the cold and the room had no problems. Working with Skype is pleasant here, too, no questions.

The device supports the Bluetooth 2.1 profile with EDR, operating range is approximately seven meters indoors, it's not a bad result.

Interestingly, the headset has a vibrate, vibrate, of course, the main unit by the weight of this ripple is felt great. A good feature for those who do not like loud calls, often at the meetings.

Call signal is transmitted to the device, it is typical for devices of Nokia, with SE that does not happen.

Conclusions

While it is difficult to say how many will make the cost of this headset, I presume that some two and a half thousand. In the first place I can recommend it "white collar", for those who have a lot of talk on the phone in the office, but for one reason or another conventional headset to mount on the ear is unacceptable. On the other hand, it can come to anybody, I think people who do not want to look like robots, there is quite a lot. By the strong points going to take time, voice quality, key Mute, the presence of shakes, excellent build, appearance. Scare may massiveness, but for me it does not lack. I recommend to buy.
