I frankly like this device so far, good sound quality, long battery life, convenient control. Plus, the headset is very healthy sum, it can be worn in a jacket pocket without any problems. BT22G now available for sale at a price of around three thousand rubles, as far as I know colleagues from SE, or have already done, or even make an interesting campaign, when buying a certain phone company in the gift will go BT21 and BT22, it is a good bonus. Another point - although not a big fan of the overhead set, but happy to take BT22 in the city, it belongs to a class of stealth, as, for example, Jabra Halo. In general, "sonistayl" there exists the one hundred and even two hundred percent.

So, in a rather large box, blister, we find very headset, charger and a small bluetooth-adapter for iPod. Declared compatible with the iPod nano players, first and second generations, iPod Mini first generation, iPod fifth and fourth generation - in general, any junk. Kit went on sale a couple of years ago, I think it will work with any iPod. At least, with the penultimate Classic no problems with compatibility arose.

What you should know. Officially, this set in our country is not available, and charging the countries here, the usual adapters for our sockets do not fit. Pins are thicker than in the American memory and it is a problem.I decided it simply, in a pile of cables found similar Charger for Samsung's proprietary headset and some phones. It completely went over to Sony DR-BT22G, headphones do not seem to be smoked. According to the charging time and time work is identical to all the usual headset encourage you to review the above links. In addition, as a set packed in a blister, it is unlikely the seller will allow you to open it to check compatibility with your iPod. So, you just have to trust the opinion of the authors of the reviews about this product (well, me included).

How does it work?

So, connect the adapter to the player, I used my favorite iPod Classic 120 Gb. Turn on the headset, the adapter push a single button, the indicator lights up. The device instantly recognize each other, you can begin listening to music. I liked the fact that the headset can control playback from exactly the same as when you use your phone, it not only Play / pause, a transition from track to track, and rewind within a song. In fact, you can only block of the player, put it in his pocket and hit the road (well, or listen to music while sitting in an airplane, train). Adjust the volume as a player and the headset on the highest setting and there, and there, start small rattles, the device can not handle the load. The second point - the house for some reason there was a slight background noise, a sort of "nice" substrate for your favorite music. While listening to the streets of this effect was not. Apparently, the house is something to cause interference. Playback quality at a good level, comparable with complete earphones. Accordingly, recommend this bunch I unassuming audience, those who want to get rid of the cables. But, of course, not music lovers.

Worth it or not?

As I said above, this product in our country is not officially available, during the first set of iPhone enjoyed relative popularity - due to the fact that if A2DP is not supported. And it was one of the few ways to make the iPhone to stream music wirelessly. Now, as the iPhone, and iPod Touch more or less normally work with bluetooth-headset, Sony DR-BT22iK much sense actually not. However, as not all players from Apple have bluetooth, and the owner of the Classic, and Nano may want to get rid of cable. Here I must tell you that the cost of the set may be about five and a half thousand. Hard to say whether it is adequate - as I said above, the headset itself is about three thousand. Quite expensive. Accordingly, to recommend this collection I can only inveterate fans of wireless life, as well as soniboyam. Yet they may be interested owners of iPod Touch, not switched to firmware 3.0.
