Especially for those who know everything, I must say a simple thing. Of course, in today's world ODM is very important. If we talk about second-tier companies that sell accessories, there are sometimes confronted with such an approach. Say, a factory that produces various headsets. For example, a headset A. Inexpensive, practical, good. And now a "producer" refers to the plant - to make such a few thousand, apply a certain logo, this something will be packing, delivery. OK, and that "producer" receives the finished product, like its product. It is interesting that sometimes a few "producers" can not keep up with the affairs of each other, and the market there is one and the same headset under several names. The last time encountered this fall - the same mono from Belkin, Southwing, Texet, with different packaging, logos, kits. Even more interesting was to communicate with representatives of Southwing, they say, is invented by our company, we do not understand how this could be. Blank - that's how it happens.
And there is nothing wrong with that, I note no. Especially if the workpiece itself is not bad. But can we say that Nokia use blanks? No, this was practiced by many, many years ago, when a Bluetooth-headset only appeared on the market. And Nokia has been the model, exactly the same as that of Jabra, just with a different logo. Now it so happens that as soon as the Jabra there is something new, it appears from Nokia, but with a different body, control, socket and so on. In addition, Nokia has a whole group of people who engaged in aksessuarikoy. Indeed, in addition to Bluetooth-enabled devices, there are blankets, and every "little thing" like battery chargers, cables, wired headphones, remotes, coasters and so on. It's easy to give up and say with sagely: "C'mon, what are they invented something? Everything for them in China are doing. " OK, but do not forget that it is in Nokia began en masse to add a set of remotes. Do not forget that in the current top-end headsets company uses a technology called fast-charging, a unique thing. It was in the first Nokia smart enough to what the indicator light on the accessories necessary to do as little as possible and hide out of sight, on the back of the device. And what about wireless headsets company can always be assured of quality sound, it is consistently good, that cheap models that expensive. Say, a solid ODM and repetitions? But where, show? Moreover, every year, work on design and materials, in year 2009 we expect very interesting news. And aksessuarike compete with Nokia is getting harder for all companies. During the crisis, and then the firm can wait for success, given the fact that some competitors simply disappear from the market.
Well, now let's look at a novelty - an inexpensive but interesting Nokia BH-216.
Design, construction
Even for the cheap stuff in Nokia are ready to invent something new and interesting. Here is a kind of turning, made not only and not for beauty.Firstly, because it looks better on the head, and secondly, more properly directed microphone. Well, let's not forget about the unusual appearance on the shelf BH-216 is sure to attract your attention. Available in two colors, a white and dark gray, multifunction button is dark gray (if I'm not colorblind). It is clear that this is done for "earthing up" and the male and female audience, although white version is quite a uniseksovy summer a Thing is quite possible to use, as they say, the color of clothing.
The physical dimensions are 48.8x18x9.5 mm, weight - about ten grams.
Way of wearing, comfort
Nozzles are made so that you can wear the device without the bow, sits in the ear trick very well, no pressure, weight is not felt. Unfortunately, shackle me to assess not given, but I think that her issues would not, she is thin, weightless. For use in the gym is better to attach it, so it will be safer. On the ear BH-216 is noticeable, though at the expense of an ergonomic shape, it looks pretty natural.
Management
The front panel is a large multifunction button, it is recessed, push it comfortably. At the end of the lever located volume control, too, no complaints. It is interesting that for an inexpensive product is not characteristic of the existence of a separate power button, but here it is. The indicator light did so, as if going in the near future just get rid of him, - "silenced" him to the podium speaker, a sort of dot, very discreet. Glows green or red depending on what happens with the device.
Food
Claimed battery talk time is six hours in standby mode - one hundred sixty hours. Not bad for an inexpensive product. From the wall charging BH-216 is charged little over an hour, in practice it works for about five-plus hours - not bad. If you do not forget to turn off at night and talk with it about an hour a day, a single charge is enough for four days. Car charger not find the problem.Communication with the phone, sound quality
The headset was tested with SE C905, after the first start it automatically goes into pairing mode, you just have to find it and enter the phone password - 0000.Relationship is stable, use Profile 2.1 with EDR, a time of BH-216 does not "fall off", all right. I note that the call to phones from SE is not passed, the headset is dealt their own tune. Basic functions are working normally, this last number redial, and activate voice dialing. Voice quality is good, let there is no DSP, if you talk in a relatively quiet conditions, it will be satisfied - enough volume, you heard right. Approximate operating range is about five meters, tested in different conditions.
