This is not the first attempt to make the company an expensive accessory, previous experience called WEP-420 Headset was developed in collaboration with the B & O, success in the market did not enjoy. Although, if we talk about its consumer properties, the proposal was interesting, from a good quality of voice, ending with a beautiful stand included. So, as if it might be good, found very few willing to pay for it for more than three thousand (as at first number was even higher). 900-I has been developed without the participation of B & O, among the products with which it is designed to compete, we can find and expensive products from other companies, but the main "enemy» - Plantronics 925. Well, let's see how good the WEP900.

Design, construction

In this unit have put a lot of quality metal and plastic, but the result still looks a bit messy. The main block of black plastic, with metal stripes, finished steel plate, which seemed to be holding the handle of the headset. On the arch is located hinge to adjust to the ear, the microphone is spring-loaded leg, she looks up, when you put on your device, you need to turn it down. The headset is very tightly built, but the leg rattles very much attached is not tight to the arc.

In general, it seems as if this device is drawing a few different people, one responsible for the appearance, the second - a ergonomics, the third - for the management, eventually got sort of potpourri. Which, I must say, in the shows themselves are not always good. Misses designer become apparent immediately, as soon as you put WEP-900. Below I will tell you more about it until the same will express their impressions of the appearance. Alas, do expensive, solid product does not work out. Despite the presence of metal, feeling of safety does not arise, the matter is that the microphone dangling foot, the presence of the hinge. In addition, there appear extra strips on the main unit, they do not add beauty, and make a commotion.

Device weighs a bit on the ear is almost not felt. At the bottom there is a connector for the charger next to it - contacts for connecting the cover with built-in battery.

Cover

Included with the headset will ship a special cover with built-in battery may still have on my hands only a prototype, but this does not prevent us to look at it closer. Decorated This accessory headset leatherette, I can not say that the finished good - something which peels off, it's obvious the trouble prototype. At the end of a microUSB socket for connecting the charger, on the other hand we find the power key, it's good. Charging the battery is about four hours, then you can safely place the headset in this house, and she will be charged. Enough of this charger for nearly three full charge, but I believe this addition will be used somewhat differently. Most likely scenario would be: let's say you are using WEP-900 in the car on arrival in the office unplug the headset and put it in the cradle. Then, when it occurs need, re-connect to the phone, talking, when there is no need, once again hiding in the house. " That is "twitching" to use during the day, in this case accessory will help a long time not to lose battery power and connect the headset itself to the charger. It is gratifying that the cabinet WEP-900 connector is not clean steel, and because they could.

Way of wearing, comfort

Cost to add one small detail, and in wearing the device would be an order of magnitude better. The problem is that it is not attached to the ear speaker is the usual type, not insert, respectively, it just hangs and does not sit tight. On the other hand, it is understandable why it was decided to do so - for the majority is right for such a solution, a long nozzle could be even more uncomfortable. In general, in fact get such a picture. On the left ear, the device sits normally, but on the right is very bad. Therefore, if you decide to buy things, always try on before You give money.

The second point - there are many springs. Spring-loaded pin microphone, spring-loaded "foot," all this economy is not the most pleasant sensation, not strength, solidity, and so on. Understandable desire to make the device most convenient, ergonomic, but the universality of the way to achieve did not happen.

And the most interesting thing that existed and comfortable headsets of this type, which can easily be worn on either ear. Remember? Of course, this is Sony Ericsson GV435. The good old, which still occurs in the sale. Even the administration is organized similar.

Management

The controls are scattered all over the body, on the microphone unit is the key answer to the call at the end of the main parts - the power button, it can enter into pairing mode. Volume keys, too, have, guess where they are. That's right, there are arrows on the body, again the sensors in an unexpected place, they work awry, it is not clear.The consequences of depression can not predict, so that the volume is adjusted to better implement with the device. As a result, it is better to try to put the music volume, and forget about the control.

The indicator light is small in size, shining bright, as the unit is behind the ear, see it to strangers is difficult.

Communication with the phone, sound quality

The headset was tested with Apple iPhone, the connection is very fast, used profile Bluetooth 2.1 c EDR, communication range is about five meters, was tested in the apartment. Voice quality seemed very good, probably due to costs of people who exactly did the leg microphone that she was not far from the mouth. Besides, I think there is a noise reduction system, as the sides I've heard, even when near a strong source of interference. For example, playing music laptop (average volume), or when I was in the car with the window open. In the work with this phone, the headset has shown itself to advantage, communication problems were no, all the basic functions work correctly, last number redial, and so on.

Conclusions

It is too early to talk about the cost of the product and time of appearance in the sale, I did not even write about the time of my sample - I want to wait for final decisions. I enjoyed working with the complete cover-charging, quality of voice, that vengeance is used in the construction of metal. I did not like the design of devices, ergonomics, management. Nevertheless, the Samsung has turned to quite an unusual thing to want to look at the final designs and then make a decisive verdict on this product.
