Like and not with such a profession have a passion, like and need to safely treat all devices to test them calmly and impartially, but not always succeed. More precisely, we will never get. We are all human, humans, and each live cockroaches in his head, which will not be so easy to get rid of. For instance, if the site or in the articles, giving advice, often try to be objective and to answer on the merits, in conversations eye to eye on the technique of giving some advice, because there are personal favorites. For example, here are asking me about what to buy a wireless headset. Instantly answer - SE HBH DS-980. Or, if funds allow, Nokia BH-903. Himself take himself more than satisfied. If asked about the mono headsets - Jawbone. If on phones - iP .. Well, it does not matter what's up with phones, I'm not an expert.

Another thing is that as soon as the IS800 will be available, then I will not advise the DS-980. Why? Tell you.

Design, construction

Probably no one headset does not cause such a reaction from friends, relatives and friends, in companies where it had a chance to demonstrate. The reaction is usually like this: a person thinks, well, again there will be something it's not interesting to ask, why are there with him yet, headphones any. Headsets any. And where else is it? His eyes were bright interest, Gizmo is taken in hand, spinning, spinning, ask questions, and it's cool. With one friend remembered, even release of "Mask Show", where my grandfather fastened to the radio telephone cable, they say, can not be the same way. Here and there: two headphone cable - everything, nothing more. Design weighs just over ten grams, fits in any pocket, the headset can be screwed all the finger. The microphone is not much comes out the dimensions cable (strange expression, but whatever), headsets themselves too big, different from most push-models on the market, do not even know with what they can be compared. In the photos, you can estimate the size compared to conventional "gags" of different companies, I think it will become clear. The design of headphones used material from his legs made the speakers, everything else is plastic. Cable so all the rubber, do not get that very nice.

Way of wearing, comfort

Since the headphones are big, then many of the natural question arises: how convenient to wear them? And furthermore, how it looks from the outside? Well, in the first minutes of merrymaking with a headset and I asked myself this question. Nevertheless, the designers have taken several measures to improve ergonomics, in particular, we design different dynamics than other headsets company, other attachments, too, so do not lose them.In fact, they were made longer to better fit in the ears, but that hammers out of his ears sticking out, you can see how it looks in photos. Much? Well tolerated, yet not quite a terminator, agree. Headset falls out of his ears did not, no pressure, sitting comfortably, but it's me, you also before buying urge to try on. Needless to say that this is the smallest wireless stereo headset on the market? Believe me, the way it really is.

As for tips, I listened to the IS800 hours, slept with her at the cottage and slept for five hours, I played the game long enough - as usual comfortable "gag", nothing more. Again, as anyone, it is necessary to measure need.

I can not delight not to mention a huge plus design: there are no wires, and nothing at all, except headphones, so bear in IS800 is a pleasure, holding a hand microphone during a call, talk, go on, you are no blocks and so on. With the phone switches tracks, listen ... I guess someone did not like the lack of control, I also this time is not critical, for the sake of simplicity and natural ease in wearing them and you can donate.

Not dumped the headset when it is wearing on his neck just like that? No, not dumped, heavy hammers, cable plump, then when I did not listen, simply folded into the ring and pushed into the pocket of trousers or jeans. Here it is, comfort, somewhere. This is not the DS970, which is then half an hour will unravel, fending off the hysteria and nervous breakdown.

Management

There is one single button on the microphone device, it is a tidy, well-located finger next to it is a light indicator, which helps to work with the IS800. With this multi-function keys, you can accept or reject the call, enter the headset in pairing mode (press and hold until the indicator light blinks), to switch between active lines, dial the last number, and, most importantly, she is responsible for the Play / Pause. I found no other functions, the user manual is not to get, perhaps they will do anything and rewind, but so far only referred to the action (just press the button once during playback to pause, and then the more time to play, everything is easy) . Adjusting the volume going to the phone, as I understand, there is automatic adjustment during a call. Must I repeat that in my hands was not a commercial sample.Rather, it is very close to it, but yet not entirely for sale.

Food

The most difficult moment for me personally, because then I'm going to deal with his conscience. See for yourself - we are dealing with an innovative product, of which there are still on the market was not. The main advantage of the device - its miniature size, portability, invisibility, and that is a complete wireless headset. So, to start of charging. I expected to see a card, sort of like the clock company - put the headset contacts in this adapter, connect the charger, and so on. Well done, we decided to keep things simple, in one of the hammer cap tilted, and before us the usual connector Fast Port (halved, of course). When you put the headset is charging, the headset lights up yet another indicator light, it glows red while charging goes green will tell you that everything is okay, you can listen to it. Charging time is somewhere in half an hour, obviously the battery is low.

Another thing is that the claimed figures do not coincide with reality. Fortunately, the better does not coincide with the first such encounter. In general, in theory, it should work in active mode for about four hours. In fact, it turned out. I fully charged the headset, connected to the SE W980i. Started listening to music, doing it somewhere hour. Or slightly more, it does not matter. Then I put the entire economy to the side and began to assemble in the road. At night, took with him all prichindaly and left, before going to sleep for another hour listening to music. Morning and afternoon headset plugged lie in the evening, after a delicious dinner, I lay down again, listening to music, she played some more time until they fell asleep. That was then - judging only by compositions in the player, summing up, I can say: for nearly two hours she was playing himself. We have just over four hours of playback. Yes, but again, there and somewhere about forty minutes talk was.

But of course it was impossible not to test for the duration of the work without any movement, connecting it to the W980i, unscrewed the volume to full, went to smoke. As a result, played IS800 for almost five hours. This is already after the second charge, apparently, there is not "swung" the battery was.

I think that time is comparable to the DS-970, it is a worthy for such a small headset. Hour would not forgive, the two are not pardoned, but there is quite a normal figure. I think so.

In working with W980i in the display apparatus to discharge the battery headset also makes a sign, saying, "The battery headset is low." A nice feature.With phones from other brands did not work.

Voice quality

Well, with a sinking heart, made the first call, mindful of the shocking microphone DS970. But the fear quickly passed, voice quality is quite normal for a comparison with the DS200, somewhere like that. In noisy environments can talk by bringing the microphone directly to your mouth, you can hear very well, it's not reproach, loudly, clearly. Work well in all the basic functions, this last number redial, voice dialing. To say the least, and nothing, no problem.

Music

Of course, it's something interesting - is the quality of play. I decided this time to make a gift to readers, and the time it was, so that tested the device with a whole bunch of music and not phones. Here's a list: Motorola E8, Motorola ZN5, Nokia N81 8Gb, Nokia E71, Sony Ericsson W980i, Sony Ericsson C902, LG Secret. I will not go a long story, what and how, because of no sound in conjunction with IS800 from the list of cross out Nokia E71, a strong background noise, ugly. The second most disgusting is LG Secret, quietly, too, with some noise. The third, oddly enough, Nokia N81 8Gb, which works well with headsets Nokia, apparently, not merged with SE. Oh well. Worth, apparently clean and C902, everything seems ok, but very quiet. As a result, a very good headset has proved itself with W980i and phones from Motorola, hard to say what it was better in my opinion, with the 980th. Playback quality is good, velvety, rich, tasty, not like any of one headset company. This is not DS970/980, not 200-series does, something of their own, full replacement HPM-77. Moreover, even in something better. Comparison of the volume showed that the IS800 in no way inferior to a wired headset, though, is to connect any your headphones, and then a wireless solution loses. But not the essence, the quality of play, I would rank as excellent for such a product. No more and no less.

Conclusions

Well, in fact, the IS800 is the only problem with running time, I would like ten or more hours, but you can forgive the current time for miniature and compact. There is still not the best size headphones, but here too - as anyone. You can continue to dream about, where these issues are settled, that's just what price? It turns out, to put the big battery and reduce the headphones need somewhere to allocate space for the batteries in the same place and the board, that's just where is this place? It may be worthwhile after all to make a jumper, which will lie on your neck?

But then it would not be so nice to wear a thing as 800-I. A unique accessory that I strongly recommend for consideration.
