Design and construction
Before us is the same recognizable and easy silhouette that is so quietly and carefully look at the ear. But why, then changed the front panel, the impression that it is made from the same plastic as the DS-980, it is translucent, I do not like that decision, the original headset is better. Changed and the position indicator light, he is on the front, became Diamondback, which is not very happy and I'm used to that in the SonyEricsson understand how some people like me besyat extra lights, beacons and fireflies. Here firefly welcome, lit while charging the red and green - when filling the battery can be seen very well and turn it off, alas, will not work. But I can not help noting that, even taking into account all of these are not very pleased with my change, the headset still looks good on your ear, fits perfectly the very different clothes. Moreover, in the end she even started to like me more than the original. By the way, the design is really uniseksovy the girls 835 and 840th model like not only because of him, but because of comfortable fit in your ear, push-in speaker - a great thing. Wearing and convenience remains unchanged, therefore I write about these options nothing will.
Management
How could see the inquisitive reader, multi-function button to go off the end, the front panel is released. Buttons are small, clear, with her help, and manages the headset, answer and hang up calls, switching between the lines, voice control. Has not changed much power button, if you press it from the off and hold, then the 840-I goes into pairing mode, which is shown by a flashing light indicator. To summarize, I can say that the management has changed for the better, all changes are absolutely correct. Volume keys no, originally it was tried back in the 835th, an automatic volume control.
Food
Another feature is to increase working time, I noticed this fact at the testing stage, not having received the exact specifications are. Thus, the owners of the 835th probably did not like to charge the unit after one and a half days of active work with shutting down for the night. Now, about that you can safely forget, claimed the operation - about 9 hours of talk time. In practice, the headset missing somewhere in the three days off for the night and talk for about two hours daily. This is a very good indicator for small devices, moreover, it is an additional factor for the audience to buy IV840. Battery charger connector has not changed, it is the same halved FastPort, it is inserted into the strap holder.
Communication with the phone, sound quality
I tested the headset with products from its parent company, is a SonyEricsson W880i with outdated firmware and the P1i with the penultimate firmware (by the way, get ready, soon there will be another to add support for new enhancements and other changes) and with the Nokia N93. Since the firmware, I had the old (or a headset with a non-profit firmware), the work leaves much to be desired, pair it with P1i has been without a password, but after ten or fifteen minutes of connection is lost. After rebooting your smartphone work was perfect. With the W880i at the matching need a password (which is weird), the addition does not happen, but there is fault of the device is likely. Incidentally, after the second attempt pairing occurred in a split second and then worked very well and correctly. Apparently, not everything is smooth can be because of firmware. With the Nokia N93 pairing was extremely fast, reliable, without any disruption - and I decided to take the phone out of "enemy" camp. Voice quality, thanks to the DSP and the correct location of the microphone, I felt very good and reliable. One not very pleased - not loud speaker, I'm used to a level above the average, then, in principle, strain one's ears is not necessary, but want volume. Automatic volume control works considerably, especially in a noisy environment, but, nevertheless, still have five divisions did not prevent full of happiness. Using in conjunction with the P1i in the headset did not set the phone call, has helped to switch to a loud mode. True, phoned both devices that are not very happy. With the Nokia N93 was no such problem.To summarize, I note that the sound quality is good, the problem with the volume may well be a problem just for me. This is one of the few devices that I am pleased to dragging around the house in jeans pocket, that is, using a long time as a "beloved wife" (remark especially for those readers who want to learn about the preferences of the authors of the site).
Conclusions
The headset will be available soon, I think it could be November. Price of the device will vary widely and will not be altruistic, if you aim to buy, cook something about three thousand. Products with no apparent disadvantages, it is quite a successful model, not only in design rimeka addition significantly increased operating time. But we must bear in mind that any time soon appear on the market a few sentences in the same segment (and higher) - this Nokia NH-803, which is better and complete, and the quality of voice transmission, and even somewhat in design . This Jabra JX-20, exit that we observe and advertising, and sales activity in stores, this product, I already can predict a good future. If sellers in the mobile phone stores will not be actively offering 840-th, it will potrebitilyami not such a large group of citizens who are looking for something unusual. Very good design, the increased efficiency, comfort of wearing - everything is there, so I recommend IV840 to purchase.Specifications Headset IV-835 are identical except for operating time.
