You've probably noticed that in the year 2009 the number of reviews of Bluetooth-headset on the site decreased markedly. If the 2008th to me fell into the hands of six or even ten different devices, but now that number is much smaller. Sometimes so much so that there is nothing new. The blame for this lies not with me, but the manufacturer, and can we call it a fault? The crisis forced to stop the boom Bluetooth-enabled devices, several second-tier manufacturers have simply disappeared from the market, key players reduced the range to a reasonable extent, peretryahnuli range. Order of abundance, it was before, will be gone. Such a large number of crazy ideas of mad money - too. So I now with great interest went up to writing any review of innovations among wireless devices, and especially to such as the Plantronics Discovery 975. It replaces the highly successful predecessor, Discovery 925. And the changes should include not only a different design, but also a number of other significant differences.

Design, construction

After a review of the 925th readers asked the same question, in principle, a device like it, but slightly confused "beak", if you look at the device side, then you will understand what I mean. Indeed, despite the simplicity and originality of the form, you could do a simple thin legs in microphone, and not to complicate the design. Actually, in the case of the 975th we just see a logical development - a thin stalk microphone, a small base, in which the hidden charges the battery. Housing completely made of plastic, metallic, but not brilliant. I want to draw your attention to the leather inserts on the front - good and unusual additions made great. Build quality is good, no squeaks, no backlash, no unnecessary gaps there. Device weighs eight grams, in fact, weightless.

I would also like to say about the sales package. As you can imagine, we have an image product, packaging conform to this high rank - a box with a lid from a good board, throw it away after the purchase will not rise hand. All components are hidden in a sturdy fabric cover, the inside - a magnet to hold the mantle for the first time I see such a rigorous approach. Gathering in the road, you can lay back exercises, case and other items and be sure that the charger is not a journey through the suitcase. In general, everything is very healthy and well, superfluous and unnecessary things in the kit simply does not. User lucidly explains how and what to do, getting lost is not realistic.

Whom is the 975-I? I believe that these are very different people are willing to spend on expensive and high-quality accessory for your cell phone, appreciating not only beautiful, but tech stuff. Yes, if the proposal from the press release, but the way it is. The headset looks good, fits the different clothes and totally different people. Among the original accessories have a strap for wearing around the neck, but you can buy a veshchichki alone design allows use without removing the conversation.

Way of wearing, comfort

Firm attachment is still comfortable, the diameter of the dynamics is small, the problems there's absolutely no. Do silicone tips have "ear", through this, even if you're very much shaking his head, the headset will remain in place. The conclusion here is simple: you can use everywhere, including the gym and jogging. Of course, we can not say so categorically, certainly there are people who are 975-I am not fit to be inconvenient, but I do not think that these will be many.

Management

The main body of the headset are two buttons: a small rectangular responsible for the cyclic volume control, mute the microphone during long-term retention. Multifunction button you will not see but only feel - pressed area in the middle of a leather insert. With its help, you will answer calls to end them, to switch between the lines, turn on and off the device, call transfer from headset to phone and vice versa. Although, I had my way, I'd moved it to the back side - out of sight, out of mind. With the management there are no problems, everything is simple and logical.

I believe here is necessary to carry voice and presence, you reported the low battery and is activated Mute. Useful addition.

Hours

Claimed battery life is five hours of talk time, I checked the figures. In fact, in the talk mode the device can operate for about four and a half hours, for such a small headset is a good result. Besides, now I'll tell you about a useful things from a kit.

Yes, I almost forgot - on the body of the 975th is a microUSB socket for charging the headset, it may take about two hours in the first times, you'll need less time.

Cover with battery

This was also in the 925th, but the 975th lot of things that say, "finished". Perfected. For example, right on the cover is a small display where there are indicators for charging and headset and built in the battery case. There is a button to eject the inserted for charging the headset is very comfortable. There is a loop where you can insert a carabiner and attach it to their jeans - too comfortable and cool. I would like to thank the engineers and developers of my deep respect, well done, thought of everything, did everything right. So, when the charge headset approaching a critical point, you just need to insert it into the bag and leave for an hour alone. Looking at the indicator, you can understand where the 975th will be used again. Yes, do not forget that when it is charged (in a case), to use it will not work.

Hours when using the cover, as claimed by the manufacturer - about 15 hours. Case himself is charged for about three hours, and it uses socket microUSB, as well as on the headset itself.

Voice quality

Profile bluetooth - 2.1, the most modern, can work with two phones simultaneously, the range of about five meters. A scheme with two microphones, plus technology WindSmart - protection from the wind, realized by means of the microphone and some special form of "acoustic cover" framing the microphone. Automatic volume control. What do you say? You can name a long list of different functions and features, but do not slurp soup Plantronics Laptev and I have not seen a single headset that company, at which it would be bad to talk. Another 925-I at one time was respected, not to mention the 975th. I tested the device in a pair of c iPhone, voice quality is better than the phone that said, even my interlocutors. No one has spotted that the conversation is on the headset. Fine, just fine. The street talk is good, even if the surrounding normal for downtown noise - rather, you will not hear the interlocutor for a number of machines, but what you say is easy to disassemble.In the car headset itself shows just perfect, mellow sound with a characteristic voice companion notes, an excellent volume ... In general, it is ideal.

Conclusions

I just list the pros of this device, and there too, you decide whether the price is adequate or not. Cons, by the way, could not be found. So:

• Very good voice quality
• A remarkable case for charging and storage devices
• Easy to carry and manage
• Interesting, unusual design, a simple and attractive
• Very good delivery

Is about to begin formal delivery of the device until it can be found in few places, prices start at three thousand nine hundred rubles, and ends at the level of almost seven thousand. In my opinion, the price is not entirely justified, despite the fact that it is very very good thing - but to get into competition with the Jawbone is hardly worth it. Let's see how much it will ask for "official" if it will be about three and a half thousand, it is highly recommend to buy. For big money? Well, I do not know, but if you do not believe.
