In the article "A mixture of N32» I wrote about that now I am an ardent fan of the Sony PS3 console with all its consequences. In my case, these same effects translate into the ability to write and review many more things, events, programs and so on. Everything is interconnected, all clinging to one after another. Say, when just beginning to test accessories, was concerned only them. Later, using for testing wireless headsets music phones or smart phones, I wanted to share with the readers of cumulative experience - a series of articles appeared InUse. Accumulated some experience on the best, in my opinion, things appeared the traditional "Ten stuff, which is now sometimes appears even food. Interested in a topic outside the format - began to appear a "mixture". And so on, the technology is understandable. Speaking about the PS3, there is scope for a variety of materials, this game reviews, and updates, and of course accessories. Their attachment to a great variety, ranging from the HDMI cables and other, ending with carrying bag. From my own experience I can say that most challenges accessories - this game. If you have a TV with good resolution, it is worth to buy the mentioned HDMI. Everything else - is nonsense. Why do I need the remote control for movies, when all you can do with the joystick? Why joysticks party when there is quite a decent "home» SIXAXIS? Do not argue, perhaps it makes sense to change the arm of the assembly to the DualShock 2 vibration, it adds a sense, but ultimately, it can safely do.

Why did I order from afar original Bluetooth-headset for the PS3, when the house is full of other headsets, both wireless and USB-cable? I do not know. In the case of collecting sets of the original parts, I sometimes do not know borders.

Design, construction

The headset comes in a blister, which can be opened only by means of an office knife or scissors more powerful, packing quite large. Body design takes us back in the days when these devices first came on the market - it is rather large, rather solid. Made entirely of plastic, black, other colors are not provided. The front panel flaunts a company logo on the reverse side is a pin for attaching the bow, the dynamics of the podium (he took the metal cover), perched next to it loop for a carrying strap. The assembly is very heavy, if you look closely, you will notice how great it is framed little thing - on the edges is an inset of glossy plastic, which resembles a shiny black body attachment.Appearance can be assessed as tolerable, everything is subordinated to the functionality, the device weighs about twenty grams.

Because this headset is not an accessory for mobile phones, music players and other "small" technology (you can use, but, you know, it's more prefixal accessory), say, for whom it is hardly worth it. The audience here alone - the owners of consoles Sony PS3, which should be an original solution for use in games.

Way of wearing, comfort

The headset can be worn only with the bow, without it, it falls out of the ear - is too great. Very pleased me that we have done a neat loop for the strap, a home is very convenient, and hung around his neck - to play, went for coffee - withdrew. Bow is trimmed with a soft rubber ear does not rubs, tips on the speaker stiff, but I had no discomfort after several hours of continuous wear. To change the "ear", must be removed from the shackle pin to change the situation, and again put it back - everything is simple, no hassle. Being on the ear, the device is properly oriented in the direction of a person is not rejected.

Management

The front panel is the mute button next to it - the key is Power, for it also is a small indicator light. Given that the device is intended for home use, will not find fault, it's right when you need to quickly see whether the battery is not discharged, twirl or no desire to look closely. True, there another "but": when you press the Power button with your finger close your indicator, in the end is not visible, hit it or not? In the end, have to push on the edge of the keys. By the way, this indicator is not the only one round Mic mute button has a luminous bezel, it glows red while charging and at a time when you turn off the microphone. Located at the ends of the volume buttons.

Pairing the headset has a singularity.To work with the PS3 console and need to connect the device miniUSB-cable, or you can use the automatic pairing mode via the menu PS3, on the headset in this case will need to press and hold the Power, while both the indicator flashes red and green. Password standards, it's "0000".

If we talk about phones and iPods, there are exactly the same system, with automatic connection to previously paired devices will be given priority PS3 (for example, if you have a room phone and console, and the headset is turned off, first it connects to the PS3) . Multipoint connection is not supported.

Food

The manufacturer claims eight hours of the headset during a call. For charging, you can use the cradle that comes with it is very convenient, but you can connect the cable directly to the headset connector covered miniUSB plug. Cable included short, that is good news, it is not loose, I use it to load and a joystick, and the XPERIA, and everything that comes handy.

In practice, the device runs about eight hours, but then we should understand that the average time the game is well with a maximum three hours, then slowly begins to move off towards the head. Accordingly, it's time to plug the headset into the cradle, turn off the console and go to bed. While charging the PS3 from USB-connector is about three hours using the AC adapter - an hour and a half. If desired, you can get a normal network charge, but no sense in this no.

Communication with the phone, sound quality

The headset was tested with SonyEricsson C905i, about the pairing, I have already told. Profile is used with Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR, connection was established immediately, the password is "0000". I guess I rushed a bit, saying that it is very "Platform" thing. For example, very useful thing - turn off the microphone in the headset. There is a huge button that will always help keep the interlocutor from the noise of the drain in the toilet water. Or even from something like that. In the headset is not transmitted call signal, the basic functions of the standard, this last number redial, call transfer from phone to headset and vice versa.In addition, one must take into account the particular design of the device - magicians from Sony have surpassed themselves, due to the size here is very well implemented dvuhmikrofonnaya scheme, opening the second microphone is located next to the mute key. What does this mean? A lot. Not only is the size of the microphone allows you to find yourself closer to your mouth, so more and "denoising" works. As a result, the headset leaves behind the best of the best representatives of "telephone" tribe, it applies to the Jawbone as well. Yes, it is not a designer, but she as a hammer - and everything works here. Loud music playing near the center - nothing, no matter the source is quite distinguish what was said. And in the quiet surroundings at all grace. These are the unexpected turns. Oh, I forgot to say about the distance: it works quite well at a distance of seven or eight feet from the unit. And a little further talk is quite possible, but not quite the quality.

If we talk about management when working with the phone, everything is simple: when an incoming call to press Power once to reset the call to hold the same button. Everything is logical.

Mode desktop microphone

I quite forgot to say in the head office of nutrition important thing. Essentially, you are without a headset will not stay if ever, for PS3 Headset can be put in the cradle, connect it to the console and use a Thing as a microphone. That is, it will be next to you to charge and you are in it will say.

Working with the prefix

To work correctly, you must use the console with firmware 2.50 and above, after pairing you can always see the status of the headset on the TV screen as soon as the press any button on it. At the prompt, you can find out if the computer's HQ (high quality), if my Mute, volume level and battery charge device. Said HQ mode is responsible for improving the quality of sound at the time of the device if it affects, almost imperceptibly.

By connecting the headset and setting it up, you can use the device and to communicate with other players, and voice control in some games, I mainly use it just for the first problem. With a friend, we quite often in the evenings we glance at the expanse of BF: Bad Company, where, respectively, playing as a team, voice communication is extremely useful for coordination. For example, we usually play this way: I am for the "support" fellow running around with submachine guns, killing enemies in close combat. But I can call the shelling of the building, where dwelt cunning enemies, shooting at the sniper and so on. In general, the voice a big help, I think, to argue with this one will not. The headset has proved to be good, nothing to complain about - the quality of communication is perfect, well, and delay depend on the quality of the connection, there is already blaming the roughness on the device is hardly worth it.

Conclusions

This is a very good accessory and one of the best Bluetooth-headsets on the market, I would safely recommend it to any tehnogiku, even for those who have no PS3. If we talk about working with your phone, here I personally see a really good sound quality, convenient control (especially true for Mute), a long time for a headset with two microphones. Plus, the black color, good build and design. By cons include the size, but as anyone.If we talk about its coexistence with the prefix, it pleases the status bar on the TV screen, the ability to work in the microphone mode, the sound quality in games, fast connection and so on.

In our country, I once saw this headset on sale in one of the online stores, but to me it came from a distant land, with a total delivery cost a couple thousand. For dvuhmikrofonnoy headset is very small, especially in its class. The idea is that it comes bundled with the game SOCOM: US Navy SEALs Confrontation or on its own, Russia has not yet sold in any way. I would recommend the company did try to sell through chain stores SonyStyle, suggest that hunters buy for little money as a qualitative and universal thing there is a lot. Sam did not regret it, feel free to recommend to you.

PS next on accessory - a keyboard for the SIXAXIS, and is extremely curious thing makes life easier.
