By and large, we were able to tell you about almost the entire line of headsets Southwing from those that are already available or will be sold in our market. I guess I already can and bring some Khoi-up on these devices, and this conclusion is quite simple. Yes, the company has some interesting products on the price-quality relationship is one of the best devices on the market, especially among low-cost models. But company representatives should understand one simple thing: will compete primarily with the company Jabra, but to make this the most competitive in life, you need serious work with retailers in the first place. In addition, consumers would do well to tell what brand has the unique distinction Southwing, and why you should choose it, and who should choose. This can be done in different ways, of course, it may be advertising, but most of all, you just need to continue a competent job with the press, do not stop after the presentation, offer products for testing and so on, everything is typical. I have nothing new has been said, I understand, the main thing is that there is a normal, adequate food, you can work with. And this is important.
Today let's talk about inexpensive "small fry" - the headset SH106.
Design, construction
Nothing new, we do not see the traditional design, good build, on the back of a glossy plastic on the front - the gritty, but not velvety. Housing licked the entire, without angles, making the device seems even smaller than it actually is. Connector for charging plug is covered with tiny, hole in front of a microphone, multifunction key is enclosed in a silver frame, this is not metal, conventional plastic coated chrome. Groove for the strap is not provided in the kit is not. The product is suitable for both men and women, the fairer sex could suggest a different color, like white or pink. Logo on the key laconic, not strongly attracts attention. SH106 weighs about seven grams.
I note one negative point - plug connectors for charging is not fixed in any way, its hard to get, you need to grow your nails to do it easily. Accordingly, to lose this rubber trinkets is not absolutely no difficulty.
Way of wearing, comfort
The headset can be worn with or without bail, and so, commercials convenient, it is interesting that even without the arch you can safely go to the gym without losing your headset, doing aerobics.In the ear, it does not feel at all.
Bow even very typical, is a tight hook, to be worn on either ear just need it to turn.
Management
All the tradition, the volume rocker with the tabs for easy retrieval without looking multifunction button for on / off, input into pairing mode, answer the call, and perform basic functions. Proceedings of the keys is small, clear, with the management there is no problem. The indicator light is small in size, the bad thing is that he is on the front panel, many companies have long abandoned this approach in the dustbin of history. It's me and advise the company Southwing - place light on the back side. Or somewhere else, that he was invisible. I also note that this is one of the few headsets, where you can disable the microphone, usually a function is found in higher class products.
Operating time
Claimed battery life of about five hours in active mode, about two hundred hours of standby time. Charge Time - about two hours, the connector is unusual, it's a variation on the theme of microUSB. In practice, the time - about four hours if the device off at night and in every save, the charge may last for two and a half days. I have it sat after day, night and one day, about two and a half hours of talks. In general, do not record, that is what it is. Plus, get a car charger of this type are very difficult.
Communication with the phone, sound quality
The headset was tested with Apple iPhone, fast connection, use the Profile 2.0, discontinuities and other was not. Password to interface standards, it's "0000", effective range is about five meters, tested in the apartment. I also tested the headset with SonyEricsson C905, the basic functions work perfectly, this last number redial, voice activation mode, Mute; traditionally for SE phones tone from the headset is not passed - I wonder how many more years must pass before you in the bowels of the company will teach you that the transmission is installed on your phone signal to the headset is completely normal function, and not some exotic.
Voice quality with all phones is normal, but not perfect, just good.Then, it is good until around no loud noise for a car is not the best product. Here's office, talking on Skype - the most it. Just to round it was relatively quiet.
Conclusions
The suggested retail price of this small headset - a bit more than a thousand rubles, pretty good for such a small product. Another thing that has plenty of competitors, there is a "baby" for a comparable or even less money and Jabra, for example, a BT2070 and BT2050, and one of them is better - say it is very difficult. But I personally, if looking for a budget product, would have stopped at the BT2050, which is worth much less thousands. We examined the headset is no cons per se, but the thing is that the brand on the market yet little known. And this should work.
