Long time, oh, long time since my hands did not get supplies from Samsung, but this month you will find three prelyubopytneyshih device. I decided to start with the most interesting of all, namely the stereo solutions. Samsung SBH500 continues and develops the ideas of his predecessors, but the combination of characteristics is somewhat unique thing.

Design, construction

I believe that my materials on accessories, do not pass the gift to developers, because in this inexpensive things embodied all my daveshnie thinking about design. See for yourself - there is nothing to find fault with this headset is completely black, only the notation on the keys are drawn in white. Plastic cups of average quality, it's not bad, bow plastic softer. Company logo appears twice on the outside of the bow back and the left cup. There are nice little pieces, for example, a connector for the charger valve closes, the inclusion of a button moves with remarkable mouse, microphone slightly granted beyond the cup, is what we'll talk in the respective head office. The only thing that I did not like it leatherette, who finished the cup, he struck me as reliable, it can happen that you accidentally motion completing a small hole, patch up that will be problematic. However, this is subjective, although I prefer the skin. But, again, for this price with the design and construction of more than well.

In the headset is not bad packaging, it is cardboard with transparent insert, you can see the product before you buy without polosovaniya box with a sharp knife. This is the right decision, such things without listening to it is better not to fly.

Way of wearing, comfort

Oh, long time since I was not so pleased to write this cupola. You know, is rarely seen thing like created for you, but if the headset is just that - when I wore it the first time, I realized that this is a long time.One can only hope that most consumers will have the same situation, otherwise I cast aside tomatoes and other vegetables unpleasant. So, the way of wearing here behind the neck, so beloved by Sony. Will not tell you exactly how you'll have to wear the device, everything is clear. The fact is that, due to relatively small distance between the speaker and the bow "soup" is well pressed to his head pain, I started on the second hour of continuous wear, after a rest they were no longer observed. The headset does not matter much, in fact, I even dared to walk it through the city streets, though not for long, because to be like a robot not particularly like. But at home I jotted it literally, it is good for the sport, and for domestic affairs, which are a healthy variety of personal music. In general, wearing a very pretty little thing.

Management

Almost all controls are located on the right cup, the left-hander will be disappointed to have to get used to. So, what do we have? There is a circular multifunction button (answer the call, redial, etc.) around it is the same shape indicator light, he is a nice, not very noticeable. The sides of the buttons are traditional REW and FF, just above - Play / Pause, at the end of a volume rocker. The only button is on the left speaker, she is responsible for enabling the device. Managing intelligently organized, nicely pressed button, you get used very quickly. It is gratifying that follow the fashion Samsung engineers did not, there is no touch controls, and it is very very good.

Food

Claimed battery headset to work is 11-12 hours of music playback or call in the standby mode, the figure is 205 hours. Not a bad time, the headset is connected to a laptop with an already swung the battery worked for about ten hours. By and large, you may well suffice it for five days of work for not very heavy load, shut down, if necessary. Full-charge time is about two hours. Here we use a standard connector for accessories from Samsung, a thin pin, slightly thicker Nokia. To summarize, I would say that this parameter is pretty good for a headset form factor.

Communication with the phone, sound quality

I tested the headset with the Samsung G800, a new camera company, equipped with a good player, radio, sound quality, the phone is quite good, much better than most non-musical phones Nokia, Sony Ericsson, some "myuzikfonam" is, of course, is inferior (and, of course, bears no comparison with expensive players). To pair you need when you turn on the headset to hold the multifunction key until the indicator glows blue, then you can find 500-th through the phone, code standards, it's 0000. Very pleased with the speed of connection, but this is due to the fact that both your phone and headset profile 2.0 is used, so the whole process takes seconds, the work is very stable.First stop is the sound quality, it is comparable to that obtained by using an improved headset from Samsung, maybe a little quieter, though, in any case, "yells» SBH-500 is quite loud, the dips in quality in fact and there is no All pretty rovnenko. I listened on a headset and the Beastie Boys, and "dispatch", and all sorts of different electronics, trying to understand why it is more appropriate. As a result, you can safely report that the pronounced bias in her no, it's a universal thing, a little above average sound quality, the quality does not cause rejection. Here's how to tell you: it is a universal thing for everyday use in the office, at home, on the way back and forth for a person to whom you want something without any wires. Equally bad, you can listen here music of different genres, and not just remember me with kind words. Alas, as with most headsets of this type around on public transport will be happy to listen to music with you, so have pity on them.

With a laptop, things even better, namely, it becomes very loud, have to turn down the sound. Skype with no problems, everything works well, until the answer to the call.

With regard to telephone functions, which I honestly doubted then and there I was in for a surprise. It seems to me there is some noise reduction system, which helps, and handed down from the cup the microphone, though it does not paint the design, but adds quality. Caller's voice is loud enough, it sounds as if in a certain distance from you, the effect, I would say, cool. You hear a remarkably well in totally different situations, including the presence of external noise. All functionality is working on five, this last number redial, and voice control, and so on. In general, rather chudesatoe feeling when everything works as it should work.

When you wear a headset connected to the phone, occasionally blinking blue light, it is not too annoying and not particularly noticeable. During an incoming call it starts blinking, the headset you hear the melody that is installed on your phone.

Conclusions

Actually, I am nothing to complain about, except to leatherette, who finished the cup. On the other hand, the price of the device will not be very great, I think she will be around 1700 rubles (hope that does not exceed two thousand). Engineers managed to create a wonderful balance thing nice to wear, and pleasant to listen to it in the end, it is nice to talk, not only managed to lay an egg is not one iota of design. Thing-tested, clear, competent, so I recommend it very strongly to the purchase of all interested parties. On the eve of winter holidays can safely advise it to all lovers of extreme (though if you wear will be under the cap).

If we talk about competitors, it is a whole host of devices that have long appeared on the market, this Jabra BT620s, and Nokia BH501/601, and IQUA BHS-701, in general, with things like the price and method of wearing. If the choice of these devices, it is better to buy SBH500, it surpasses all of the quality of sound management. In the market there is only one product is better quality than the 500-I, this Sony BT-21G, but it is rare and is worth almost $ 50 more expensive.
