More than a year since I tested the original device, not only to test, and to respond to reader questions I took from a position of not just a journalist who has something they tried, but from the perspective of a man who loved corny product. This was so despite not the best voice quality, with phones parent company, it has been more or less good, but that's for the other devices, the problems were. At the moment, Sony Ericsson mass of resources spent on phones, accessories are still only in the proper quantity for this market the company will be taken seriously in the 2008th year. Apparently, it is with these and related "upgrades" of existing products, which appear together with the announcement phone, although sometimes better to re-do than remodel. In general, let's look at the 435-th and decide how good it is.
Design, construction
Before us is the same thing, only black and with other materials. Honestly, if when you look at the front of the original headset could appear the impression that the metal is used, then when you look at the modification immediately understand - it's plastic. The headset looks cheaper than the original, especially with careful consideration. On the other hand, it has become even less noticeable on the ear, especially when you look at the face side is clearly visible only if you have short hair. The assembly is not bad, especially not to find fault with anything, except that there are a few extra, in my opinion, the gaps. Squeaks and others not, all plump. Compared with the original has not changed nothing, except the color.
Wearing
All the same, though, long time since I have not used the 435th, in general, something has recently become the preferred products from Jabra. However, the product is considered extremely pleased me in terms of convenience, that's really truly put on and forget - no discomfort, no.Complete strap lets you carry the device in a shirt pocket and put on only for conversation, on the other hand, here the script of not particularly good, as the place the device on the ear is not as simple as "plug-in" headset - need prilovchitsya. Therefore I simply dragged 435a hours, oblivious to the fact that it is. This is the best testament to how well the product is ergonomically. Alas, people with glasses, it will not work, it is better to look at IV840 a product without a bow.
To be worn on either ear is necessary to turn the speaker, all in the same way as the original.
Management
All exactly the same way as in the original sample, located at the top power button and the answer (it is multi-functional), on the rear external panel - the volume rocker. Managing all as good and convenient indicator light still clear and unobtrusive. By the way, did recommend to read the instruction, for example, I am often asked how to check the remaining time - you need to press and release the power button and see the number of "winks" indicator light. Three times - is fully charged twice - half, one time - time to connect, my dear. Instructions very, very helpful. Actually, here's a link to instructions considered headset, you never know, it is useful (in English).
Food
This brings me to something truly interesting. It often happens that many do not roysya in the network, do not try to company representatives, and some unknown things get out themselves.For example, I usually check the mono to the possibility of charging when connected, but, frankly, has become to forget about it, because almost never seen such an opportunity. Immediately showed up a couple of interesting moments. A couple of days ago one evening I turned on the 435-th, she joined the K850i, and then display a message that the charge level of the headset is very small. An interesting feature? Yes, earlier I had ever seen, it works, but only with the "parent" product, with the Nokia N91 is not the focus we have. Go ahead, before, when I put the headset on charge, such as not paying attention, that the connection is not lost, just turn off Bluetooth on the phone and everything. And then decided to check out, and a surprising fact - GV-435a continued to work. And I put it on, and began to call someone, and his wife came into the room and asked me a perennial question: "What has occurred charging connecting to?" No, I said, but will soon begin. In general, both the moment is extremely curious, are important and need someone to help in the office, car or home. It is interesting also that the message about low battery is given somewhere in the remaining 5-10% of the charge, but not when quite zero. Yes, if I remember correctly, the original sets of such opportunities did not exist.
Used halved connector Fast Port, you can use any chargers from SE, there's nothing special.
Communication with the phone, voice quality
The headset was tested with phones Sony Ericsson K850i, Nokia N91 8Gb, with the latter occasionally, just for the sake of testing. About the pairing process all says the same is true for smartphone Nokia, which showed the device itself with the best hand, for example, the melody came from a phone to the headset, which can not but rejoice. With the K850i it was not, I do not even know what to think - and the profile set to loud, but still in the headset sounds characteristic trill, not the melody of "Boomer". Will probably have to fight the system for the happiness of all consumers in the world. In general, with all the K850i too fast, clear and cool, without a glitch. In overseas forums, users are complaining about the persistent disconnect the headset from the phone, to be honest, a week of use have not noticed any "departure". This is when you consider that my home phones are going crazy on the number of included Bluetooth-enabled devices, not knowing to whom and what to connect. Rather, once a disaster has happened to Nokia N91, the headset was turned off, since the unit began to connect to the Jabra BT8010, a conjugate prior, with the K850i this, again, was not.
Conclusions
Y SE GV435a only one competitor, this Jabra BT5020, on her side support multipoint, but users complain about the assembly and construction of the dynamics, which is used to turn out on the outside (this is what I wrote in the review). Let's look at the pros and cons of the product in question.- Successful design, the invisibility
- Very good time
- Convenient control
- Very good voice quality
- Pluses for the owners of phones SE - avtosopryazhenie, information on discharge Headset
- Work while charging
In connection with the problems of certification in our country for all manufacturers of headsets expect the headset is on sale at the beginning of the year 2008, the price will be approximately $ 70-80. Although, I think originally the sellers will put a price tag around 90-100 dollars or more. As I already said, especially recommend the product to owners of phones from SE, in need of comfort and invisibility, for you it will be a real gift (especially for motorists). This is not an image, it's technology in its pure form and without any brilliant embellishment. About good not much to say, but I repeat again: I did not expect that the processing will be so comprehensive, in fact, it's a completely different product in the same successful wrap. It is unlikely that sales will be big, it needs serious work with retailers, rather, the headset will buy the people who know exactly what they need is it.
