Until a certain time great home headset that I used with mobile phones, and with the prefix, and with a laptop, was the most that neither is an old Sony DR-BT50. And so far this gadget stand out, it is hard to find something similar on a combination of price and quality. More than once I tried to change seats on something else, but not for a moment to change their habits. Or you can? Now I do not know. Today we talk about the Nokia BH-905, which appeared to me personally, quite unexpectedly, he knew nothing about it almost before the announcement. It was very curious to get a sample that turned out last week, this is almost a commercial sample, looking at him to draw conclusions and recommend (or not recommend) to buyers.

Speaking of the samples. If we talk about the Jabra Halo, for me it still was not comfortable, I could not live with velvet inside. The same can be said about the Jabra BT8040. In my opinion, Halo ingenious product, which lacks only a trim.

Design, construction

Before us is a rather unusual product from Nokia. The company usually do not favor the experiments, but in this case is before us clear the experiment, when they were brushed aside all attempts to save not only filling but also the appearance. Accordingly, one look at the BH-905 will be enough to understand that - yes, this thing. Kingdom of leather, metal, high-quality plastic. There is no substitute for natural leather inside and outside, on the headband. Metal company logo on top, metallic finish of cups, it is not plastic coated with a metal, and most that neither is metal with a deliberately rough texture. Gizmo pretty heavy, 175 grams. And much, there's nothing to be helped. Will be delivered in a rather large box that can hold all the accessories. There are many, here and cover, and a variety of cards - on the case has a standard 3,5 mm jack, so you will easily be able to connect Nokia BH-905 to any sound source, it can be a phone or player.

In general, the design is great. Headset is worth its money, and when you start to use it, you will find that a lot of evidence.

Way of wearing, comfort

Leather ear cushions resemble pillows like in form and feel, coupled with a soft substrate headband headset leaves only one feeling - no extraneous sensations. It does not fall from the head of every sudden movement, it does not want to permanently correct the ears do not itch and do not sweat - in general, it is comfortable as far as all can be comfortable stereo headset. There are adjustable in length, the joints near the cup, all fit very tight, no squeaks, backlashes and others.

But the price paid for convenience - the size. This is not the Jabra Halo, which I dragged into the city, even if I do not accept overhead headphones in public. This is a great headphone, outstanding per kilometer. And, as if they did not look good, you still only the absence of the blaster in hand separates you from the cyborgs with their metallic snap. For the home - ideal for office, too, but that's to appear in such a thing on the street beyond my strength. Maybe for you it will be quite normal, as they say, no question.

For the gym I'd BH-905 is not recommended for very sharp movements so she could fly.

Management

All the main controls are focused on the right cup, it's multi-function button, Play / pause, Rew / FF, the volume rocker perched at the end. On the left speaker is only the mode switch ANC, that is to say, "shumodava. Since the whole "osnovnyak" fit in one place, and no problems with management, even without prior training. The buttons are large, have a significant move and click, everything is very sensibly and logically.Lights on two, one signal of the noise reduction system, the second is next to the jack 3,5 mm, a small, inconspicuous, it signals to us that the 905-I is powered on, or is in pairing mode.

Food

Here at BH-905 features a whole heap claimed, will bring them as is, with the official site. So, working hours:

• talk mode (Bluetooth): 24 hours
• in music mode (Bluetooth): 25 hours
• talk mode (Bluetooth, with active noise cancellation): 15 hours
• in music mode (Bluetooth, with active noise cancellation): 16 hours
• in music mode (with a wired connection, with active noise cancellation): 40 hours
• phone calls handsfree, and listen to music (without the active noise reduction) are possible even with a discharged battery (wired connection)

I checked the work of BH-905 when connected via bluetooth and active noise reduction was used Nokia N97. At full volume the headset lasted thirteen hours, while the battery was charged that if the second, or third time. I think that after proper "overclocking" to achieve the stated parameters will be much easier. And this, I note only with the active "shumodave" if it is disabled, the time tends to infinity. At least that is my impression - I was listening to music with the BH-905 for a week, somewhere in a couple of hours a day. It lasted from Tuesday to Saturday, until I started my experiments, as described above. Now I have a special method for the BH-905, rather, we have already found their usage scenarios describe them:

• Work in pairs with the PS3 while playing games and watching movies at night
• Using a laptop for Skype and listening to music, use the Toshiba X200
• Using the phone for listening to music, Internet radio, in this case, a Nokia N97

Moreover, there is complete and all necessary cables to a long flight not to put the battery in vain, and BH-905 connect directly to your PSP, phone or laptop. By the time of operation, types of connections, which are described in the instructions, we have a clear record. To charge, incidentally, uses a standard connector dvuhmillimetrovy - somehow forgot to say it.

Communication with the phone and sound quality

Used a scheme with two microphones, supported profile bluetooth 2.1 with EDR. Operating range is about eight meters. Mainly used with a headset Nokia N97, the pairing does not make any problems. After the first inclusion of 905-I automatically goes into pairing mode, you can call yourself and hold the multifunction key until the indicator light flashes blue. Voice quality at a high level, the caller does not know that you're on a headset, in general, there are no problems whatsoever.

Ringing 905-th transmitted, well still be, Nokia + Nokia = brothers forever.

Music

For me this is the first device with active noise cancellation, which really works. The test most simply, I taught my child here to roller skate. Complex process, long. Music helps drown out cries for help, curses, groans, and so on. But denoising helps to make it doubly effective, I could only raise a child with downs so to push back, saying, "Come on" - once clicked the switch ANC, make out the words could only read my lips.

If no joke, this thing really works, surprisingly. That's what they write on the parent site device, rather, that's what gives the characteristics:

Frequency characteristic

• from 15 Hz to 20 kHz

More information about the sound and multimedia capabilities

• Speaker impedance: 32 ohms
• Head of the speaker: head height of 32 mm with improved performance
• Number of microphones for noise reduction: 8
• 2 microphones for speech perception and advanced digital signal processing (DSP), providing high quality communication
• The technology of active noise control: removes up to 99% of background noise

Regarding the last question is, voice quality is tidy, there is. But when a number of really loud music playing, or riding the machine, or there is still something loud, you still hear it. Let not much, but audible. There is still, in addition to microphones, I must say thanks a leather pillow, they are not only convenient but also extremely functional.

The sound quality is very subjective parameter, you know. I will say this, paired with a Nokia N97, with active noise cancellation or without cause, this ligament replaced my player Sony A-728 with complete earphones. That is, everything is so rosy and well, that can be compared only with the Jabra BT8040. At N97 volume control on the ten divisions, comfortably listen to three, a little more - is already very loud. When you change the equalizer can hear the sound change. When you connect the cable the sound quality is even better, more transparent, better vocals, bass become saturated.

Conclusions

If they wanted to, I do not what to find fault. I expect comments like "yes for twelve thousand, I'll buy this!", "Yes they are there, mad poshodili?", "No one will take!". Hmm, when tested the Nokia BH-903, which never came to our retail, then I had my doubts about the price. Still, because of the inability to change the headphones and drastically change the sound quality, 903rd seemed a toy for gadzhetomana. Plus, there were problemki with software, like the BH-902.

About BH-905 will say so. If you have money - safely take it. Let it stands as a good phone, if you fly frequently, like Nokia and going to buy a N97, then this sweet couple will delight you in an airplane, train or car. The specified price - is no fee for the brand, it does not matter on what the "base" set BH-905. The important thing is that it looks good, long runs, has an excellent package, working system of noise reduction and sound quality that can please.

PS If you buy I recommend to connect the device to your phone and check on the music, which can be named your favorite. In addition to the N97, comparable to the positive impression left to use in conjunction with Nokia E75, laptops Toshiba X200, Sony VAIO P, Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1. Alas, in conjunction with LG Arena, SE W995, Samsung S8300 sound was not good, average quality, no particular emotion - it's like the connection using bluetooth, and when connected by cable.
