Starting this year the company changed a little look at the car accessories, it is expressed in simplifying data veshchichek - if you remember, in the past they were monsters with screens on which you could see a name or phone number and other information. All is good, but here is the basic functionality left much to be desired, in particular, this applies to voice quality, longer battery life. Product under review is fundamentally different from long-standing stuff and carries a charge. Another issue that is still his views on such things I have not changed, it is nice to get HCB-105 as a gift, but that's to yourself to go to the store and buy ... dismiss, I'd rather use the normal headset, without scaring sitting next to talk with a headset on the visor. Honestly, now the market is kind of accessories is virtually absent in our country, even though Motorola experimenting with headsets that allow you to transfer music from phone to car speakers, the Nokia are trying to combine speakers with such a small screen on which you can easily dial in Jabra and SonyEricsson go the traditional way, say nothing about the Samsung, aksessuarika while in the paddock. About the market - various surveys and polls, and so show that in Russia people do not like the extra spending on garniturku or memory card, you can still spend money, but not to the speaker in the car, the benefits of which are not visible (and the show boasts not work, if only a very willing). In general, talk about the HCB-105.
Design, construction
The device is devoid of the display, and therefore small in size, where some two cigarette packs in length and nearly one in width, the appearance ladnenky a harmonious, good build. Almost the entire front panel is closed elastic tissue beneath it is the speaker located above the company logo, key control, microphone hole. Connector for charging at the end, behind only mount clips to the visor 105-I "stick" firmly and securely as if she's here all my life was. No special materials are not here, unpainted plastic of good quality steel clip, that's all. I would say that the design is fairly traditional for such devices is nothing new, but there are some zest garniturka quite narrow and long, perhaps, is what makes it attractive. Colours are calm, it would fit under the interior of any car. Device weighs more than eight grams, Gizmo weighty enough yet.
In addition to use in the car, the company offers and the script used in the office, with an attached belt clip you can put the HCB-105 per table and communicate. How I had a similar set, so they just lay in a drawer and have not been claimed - and even when I was vegetating in his office three years ago, only occasionally dabbled with the speakers, but to use constantly ... There was no such desire. I understand that this is the personality, affection, but then I find it easier without the extras or just a wireless (or wired) headset.
Management
How could just write about stuff that has no display. There is a volume rocker and a single button, and entrusted with the management challenges and enable or disable the device. In addition, it is there and the light in the form of slits, it is not too bright, not very distracting from the road pomargivaniyami in the darkness, but would be better if it was moved somewhere to the rear, out of sight out of mind. The keys are large, it's pretty convenient, no problems. After the first start of 105-I automatically enters the pairing mode, things happen quickly and smoothly, the password is the standard, four zero. If you need to make contact with another sort of device, then press and hold the answer key until the indicator light flashes green and red.
Food
Includes a car charger, that is absolutely logical. On the other hand, there is a very pleasant moment, claimed talk time of up to 25 hours, while standby time - 700 hours, lithium-polymer battery 900 mAh. I will say that my wife's car 105-I worked for more than two weeks after the charge / discharge cycles with "open" schedule of interviews, sometimes in the day was about an hour talking, sometimes for twenty minutes, in various ways, mainly just the device was connected to phone is on standby. Outstanding performance that lets you forget about the charge, it lasts way, more than three hours. Powerful battery, do not say anything.
Communication with the phone, sound quality
The headset was tested with Nokia 8800, SonyEricsson W980i, SonyEricsson C902, with all the devices the device without problems connected, with two phones at once, it unfortunately will not work unless it is unreachable peak for the company. Supported profile bluetooth 2.0, work correctly the basic features like redial the last number redial, activate voice dialing, switching between the lines. Call arrives to the headset with Nokia, with devices from SE it does not, the ring volume is high, you can hear it in all conditions, in addition, is also an indicator winks to remind you to pick up the phone. The sound quality ... Overall, I was not expecting anything special, 105-I am not surprise me in no degree. You are great, just great hearing the interlocutor, he also hears the wool, or rather, if you're in the wool and to the side as something boring. This is not the distance from your face before going on the visor. Alas, but use the car 105-yu is difficult, constantly asks you to constantly come in all sorts of funny incidents, like how I ask a question: "What news?" And the interviewee answers me - "do well traveled here in company X, the sample again half dead given, the texts I have laid out there .... " I again: "You can hear how" And in reply - "Flash? What a flash of earrings? "Headset for the first of April right. Use it at home on a desk in the office, say, a much nicer, in silence, broken only by the gentle music, talk, pleasant, but still it is not even the quadruple and the triple-minus. Normal bluetooth-headset is much better.
Conclusions
The device is now available, it is worth slightly more than two thousand rubles, and in other countries, the price of the order of a hundred-odd dollars. A lot or a little? The question is not entirely correct, because I would not advise even considering buying this stuff, all is well with the design, management, emphasizing the simply wonderful time - but the voice quality is killing all the charm in the bud. If you ask me, on what kind of car speakers worth paying attention, then I recommend bluetooth-headset. No options.
