I really wanted to start this article with polushpionskoy history when the two sat in a car without lights, passed each other some kind of convolution, puffing a cigarette, and then one that thicker, and shouted: "What's that, so it?" And the second calmly replied: "Not yet, Sergei, yet even there is no instructions. Later will try. " It was a really, or did not know only two people. In short, the first impression of the 925th, I was astonished, because in working Plantronics conservative designers who do not like to deviate from the good old forms. And here - just something unprecedented. And it concerns not only the appearance. Yes, before I say that going to somehow "pidmanut" agency, and gently rest the device in bins of the motherland. Broke, then lost. Or vice versa. Painfully good.
Design and construction
As can be seen, the design is interesting. In fact it is a solid podium for the speaker to the button, which depart two crossed sticks with a pinhole microphone on the end. It looks at how the children paint the crane is not like any other product. Unusual, and would not say that this unusual pushes the contrary, I liked the design, he and technological and futuristic, and just cool, in the end. Collected headset is very tight, no backlash, scratches and the like - to five. Silver finish looks secure, place the metal is not found, I understand what aim was: Thing and leave a light (it weighs only 8 grams), and move the microphone as close as possible to the mouth. Purpose made, applause. It is possible that not everyone will like the look, though, in my opinion, the rules are respected, recognizable corporate identity. Well, at least worth a look at the little blue icon, or a combination of black and silver. All the way, there will be several color options, black plastic changes to pink or gold with no problems, be sure to do them, it's absolutely the right decision.
Box sets interesting, it's kind of a podium, where it is visible in all its glory. Although the materials and not particularly expensive, but you do not overpay for a refined and more cardboard with inlay.
Wearing
The headset is simply inserted into the ear, complete a set of nozzles of different sizes, so that nothing is grated and not sting. As can be seen, the nozzle is not simple, but with a seal, it fits nicely in the ear and does not give things to slip into the fresh after rain asphalt. By the way, straight to the "beak" can attach the strap to be worn around the neck and hassle-free to speak without removing it, though it will look extravagant. Convenience to talk about for a long time I will not say that in this parameter all just fine, only - not quite the thing for the gym, rather it is more appropriate for the car, office, home and other quiet places.
It is interesting that as an option strap for wearing around the neck with a jack microUSB, I had never seen, but in the instructions it is.
Hours
Specifically carried this paragraph closely, you just can not wait to tell you about a great idea and no less than excellent performance. As you know, the Plantronics were the first to practice the addition of a set of different kinds of chargers pencil cases, they can be on internal battery or with replaceable batteries, different shapes, sizes. Since 925-I is a fashion solution, here and foam had to be relevant. It is time. Two - as seen from the size of the device, the battery place here a little, so that the foam must be serious and to provide at least the same as that of the headset while working. Look at the pictures. Well, not lovely? Small leather etui, the skin and tanning products reminiscent of the glorious names Covertec, inside - a groove and the plug you put the device - charging starts. To charge the cover you want to use the connector on the bottom, it is gratifying that the headset was a place for him, so that if a sudden and cover something happens, fear not. Seen from the rough - a device rather tightly removed from the case, we must adjust themselves. Well, there's no hook for a belt, on the other hand, as it be created? That's as anyone. Very, very pleased with the quality of performance cheholchika: cover with two magnets, shovchiki rovnenkie, just like it should be.
The manufacturer claims five hours of talk time and seven days of standby time, a cover can provide an additional five hour meeting. In practice, you can count on eight hours of quiet wash, as for me, so it's a lot for such a small headset. Very pleased with the used connector microUSB, charging for the car or another office to buy does not make any trouble, do you want - take firm for Nokia, you want - for Motorola. It is interesting that when charging a cover or without the device continues to operate, it is a definite plus.
While charging the headset with cover is approximately three hours.
Management
Altogether, there are two sets keys in the center is a multi-functional, at the end - adjust the volume. It was left specifically for those who do not count on the automatic adjustment of sound, there are three levels of adjustment, it is enough for any conditions. In principle, it generally can be safely left alone. Indicator light great, great, love these - this time just keep silent, for such lights I just do not like (big, beautiful, prominent in the dark from a distance). Just perfect, that the indicator is turned off for this, press and hold the volume key. Indications are, of course, not only light but also sound, if you want 925, I will inform you about the remaining battery charge and other useful things.Keys are convenient, especially I want to say thanks for a great "home" button, it has small soft travel, nozzle in your ear when you are not bites.
Communication with the phone and sound quality
The headset was tested in conjunction with Nokia N81 8Gb, I think it has become a kind of tradition. How do I get rid of this phone - I'll never know, on Sunday, he sat down, I put it on charge and put in "Simka in another phone, you need handy. What do you think where to start Monday morning? That's right, from hell, because the neighbors of the doorway next to two floors above the first burst a brand new radiator, then a second. Emergency Brigade overlapped the heating system, because the homes of these magnificent people was, on the fourth floor of a nightmare, I have more or less local horror (change wallpaper in two rooms, wet carpet, soaked compact Nikon wife, well, vycherpyvanie, of course). Then he lost a courier, then another kind of trouble, until I realized, finally, back insert "Simka" in the N81, then life is somehow normal. In general, the pairing, press and hold the multifunction key from the off state, until the indicator flashes red and blue. After this device once detected, the password is standard, 0000. The device used a proprietary technology AudioIQ, she is responsible for noise reduction, clean voice, automatic volume adjustment and generally improve everything. I must say that her work is beautiful. Do not think it was me, so just to be witty, and truly remarkable results for a device this size and weight, the sides sincerely believed that I'm on the phone, and even in fairly severe conditions (next to the laptop, which played music, such as in the car with the window open on the third ring), it proved to be excellent. About good not much to say, but I have had, like Pavlov's dogs, produced reflex Plantronics: You can expect anything, but not the average or poor voice quality. With this there is simply no problems and everything.
More on the interesting - Additional Features. If we talk about basic things, then the set of voice, and the last number are working correctly, this is no problem. But interestingly you will find that there is support for Multipoint? Says User, by default, this feature is disabled to increase battery life, to turn it on, press and hold off state of the volume button and the multifunction key until the indicator flashes twice with a blue light. Then you can put the device in pairing mode, find a second device and to connect first.Ligament works like this: when a call comes in on the second machine, you press the multifunction button and switch it to the headset, the first call to reset, in standby mode it is not delayed. Perhaps this is all we can say. Yes, it's still important to be aware that when connecting two phones redial the last number will work with the one used most often for a set with the second unit to use pens.
In the headset comes installed on the machine call, the range of effective work is about six feet - a good result. Profile is used Bluetooth 2.0, of course, it would be strange to see here is something else.
Conclusions
Wonderful device, to some extent the top engineering, and this applies not only to produce Plantronics. I really like the feeling dodelannosti, integrity of the product, which occurs only when the tasks were trying to solve neizbitymi ways. And mikrofonchik moved without gaining weight, and eventually work solved the problem elegantly (by the way, with the included Multipoint difference in work time is not so great, ten percent just for instance), and voice quality is perfect, and so forth on all counts. Honestly, have not had such happiness from a new toy, thanks. The headset will be available in the second quarter of this year, the price will be around three thousand. It's worth it, believe me, the competitors at the moment no. In fact, it's the lightest headset with the ability to work with two devices simultaneously, so a perfect noise reduction system, so even with the running time. Must have, as they say, especially recommend car owners.
