I have a very strong desire to jump to conclusions right away, because they are not so predictable as might be expected from the review of the budget (for "sonevskim" standards) product. Still, let's start though I just tell you about the veshchichki, which is now in my pocket.

Design and installation

In fact it is already familiar to us adapter TMR-BT10, which added a headphone cord and the volume rocker key. So I will not for a second time to spread about the design, only the size of the headset is quite large, to thank or blame for it to the battery, it is the same as in the above-mentioned adapter, and in the older model 20NX. If we compare with devices that have or will appear in the market, among them 10SH stands out in size, perhaps, only Nokia BH-500 is somewhere nearby.

Yes, no inference can not overlook: I personally like the design, Gizmo is not that much attractive, just well done, quite sternly, but not without refinement.

Management

There are three keys for all sorts of different things. Multifunction button for "telephone" of masked, in fact it is hidden in a decorative strip of dark plastic, and give her only three bumps. This button allows you to answer calls, activate the last number redial, voice dialing and, of course, to answer or to repel challenges. Power button on the top is understandable why, at the sides of it are related to bridging the "+" and "-", with their help control the volume. Indicators, as well as an adapter, not visible until you burn them very well and beautifully made. Hole in which the hidden button Reset, located on the left side by pressing a button, you remove the memory device. In general, summing up, I can say that there is only the most necessary, and it is made comfortable, that's only multipurpose key tugovat. Excellent volume control, pressed with a nice click when you raised the volume to maximum, a warning signal is heard.

Food

As stated by the manufacturer, the headset works 11 hours in active mode and 100 hours standby time, the figures are identical to the declared her "tovarki», Sony DR-BT20NX. As shown, 10CH works almost the same as last, when connected to a laptop and playing at full volume of different tracks for signs of life after it has ceased to serve nine-odd hours.Naturally, at the computer all the time I was not sitting, had to go to the store and into the bathroom and have lunch and still make a lot of things, occasionally sticking the headset to test. In general, when you consider that I have not spoken to her, then the average load (2 hours listening per day, an hour of calls, without shutting down for the night), the device is quite able to live two and a half - three days. That's a lot, believe me.

Charging takes place via a cradle, the same as the adapter TMR-BT10, you may well buy two of these devices in order to achieve uniformity. Charging time is about two hours, while in cradle the headset off. In this review, I say: the cradle of portable headsets Sony - a natural evil, with a haul of his work or on business trips is not so fun.

With a strong desire battery can be replaced, opened the device is very simple.

Communication with the phone and sound quality

I tested the headset active with only one device is Sony Ericsson W880i, also tried to work with the adapter, TMR-BT10, connected to a Nokia N91. With the phone pairing was a great success, it is necessary from the off state, press and hold the Power, while both indicators are flashing. By the way, the system will activate the same for all headsets Sony, from the smallest to the large 10SH DT-50. Phone easily finds the device, the code is standard (0000), Auto-after pairing works quickly and accurately. Just a memory stores information about the headset phones or eight players, when switched on, pressing on the multifunction key, she begins searching for anything that was connected to it in the order in which it occurred (from the first connected to the latter). Thing to quickly respond to pressing, delays are minimal, this is no problem. As you can see, here we use good headphones, a model EX-51 in black, replace them with its own will not work. In principle, in this and there is no special need because they do not fully satisfy inveterate audiophile. Cable length is comfortable to you hitched your device to a shirt or pocketed polo keeps it is not very good, there would come fastener or notebook, still rather big trick.

The sound quality is good for a wireless headset, however, when compared with the wired headset HPM-75, where, apparently, used the same modified headphones are lagging behind. Bass is not particularly bass, the volume is not particularly loud, leaders do not particularly noticeable - so mediocre, compared with a wired solution. Actually, this is the fee for the convenience that we still have to make the budgets of manufacturers, one can only hope that the headset with sinezubymi "a new generation of chips (one of their characteristics - high speed data transmission) will appear in the same market at least next year.

With the N91 and the adapter sound became louder, a little higher quality, but again, this is not wired headphones.

How 10CX headset works well, all features are working properly, caller's voice clearly heard, and you can hear quite well.To achieve better quality, I recommend to hold the device closer to the mouth of the side where the microphone hole (it is marked by an inscription Mic). Hear you better than using a DS-970, and this is something so mean.

In general, my conclusion is this: it's pretty rovnenko, with a bias in the good side.

Conclusions

In the retail unit represented by limited, it is the large chain stores (such as "White Wind"), company showrooms, Coy any sellers with a smaller scale. Cost varies widely, expansion prices high, in that already shop trick is worth about three thousand, one store at Gorbushka - two a penny. Such unbalanced rates occur just because of the limited supply, and sold the headset is not where they should. Hit it on the counter Euroset or Svyaznoy, the situation would be different. Let's look at the pros and cons:

  • Very large time for headsets of this type, there are no competitors
  • Good Design
  • Pretty good sound quality and voice in particular
  • Good delivery
Cons:

  • Relatively large size
  • Charging only through the cradle

About the management did not say it is normal. If the trick has appeared on the shelves next to the headsets of mobile manufacturers, the competition she could make a device from Sony Ericsson, Nokia BH-500 and all. Well, on work time (and this is a very important figure on a par with the quality of sound) until the next no one stood nine to ten hours of autonomy - giving more headsets, and even then not all. Motorola S805 (large closed headphones) works in active mode for about 13 hours, claimed battery life for her - 17 hours. Wow, really? In general, it seems to me, DR-BT10CX in a very limited number of stand up in retail, so anyone and not seen, not heard, and then vanish in a country of eternal hunt. The situation is unbelievable, but true.

With regard to recommendations, if you are looking for long-playing compact solution with in-ear headphones, the better option in the market there, strongly recommend this product.
