If you remember, we have recently talked about a product from IO Data, headset wiREVO WBM-220, which I'm not liking in connection with described flaws and eccentricities. Today there will be about another gizmo, this time with an index of S300, it is the name displayed on the display. But the company's website, it is called differently. In general, mess with the names we should not worry, better look at the features of the product.
Design and construction
In the field of design wiREVO S300 will not be anything new, just a typical stereo headphones with a patch, which are connected by a cable. Appearance trivial, we have seen that decision many times since the nameless headsets made somewhere in the east, finishing products from Samsung. I do not really like the design of arches, to my ears headphones clamped tightly (especially right), here can help complete the plastic jumper, it's easy to connect headphones to a certain extent gives comfort. For the gym S300 hardly suitable, he sits like and dense, but the abrupt movements of the head may very well be blown away. There is a possibility to fill the cable through the cavity, but somehow I do not think that the jumper is much shorter, in the end get what you see in the photo - Khoi-what is the length is not hidden, it looks to put it mildly, strange.
Glossy plastic is used, it is rapidly covered with fingerprints, there is another version of the design - with white pads on the front panel. Ear cups are decorated with foam, its thickness is small, complete a couple of spare so that you can not be afraid if you do accidentally break, or even how to destroy. The assembly is not bad, just do not quite understand why a number of speakers so all the holes? If you use glasses, you wear a headset you do not get better look at another device.
Management
All controls are focused on the right earpiece, then a complete set. On the obverse side is a multifunction button, located at the end of the volume rocker key, Play / Stop, Rew / FF, off and on. Next to the multifunction button is a light indicator, it is small in size but quite bright, in my opinion, for him to do absolutely nothing here. Recently, some manufacturers have changed their attitude towards this part and try to shove her away from the eye, for example, on the part of the device, which is pressed against the cheek. I am beginning section is constantly writing about being wanted, the joy that dreams come true. But that's not the case with this product.
By managing to get used very quickly, the keys are pressed mostly clear, with a click, except for the volume rocker. In working with the device (in this case, SE W960i) any problems were noticed, the response to pressing almost immediately. The only "neponyatka" - is rewinding a composition that when you click done, but it was too weird. Step occurs in a few seconds and all you then need to press and hold FF or REW again, jump to another track is working properly. The same situation was repeated with the Nokia N81 8Gb, unchanged. When you first turn the unit goes into discoverable mode, the password for the connection standard - 0000. Re-entry into pairing mode is as follows: pinch and hold the multifunction key, turn on the headset, wait until the indicator light flashes blue and red. Smartphones find it for a split second, everything is extremely fast.
Food
The headset is equipped with a standard connector miniUSB, he closed flap, which is based on straight-away ready-made plastic fly away jumper. The manufacturer claims a time of standby time is 180 hours, talk time or music playback is 8 hours, charging time - 2.5 hours of network storage, 3 hours from the USB-cable (available in kit).In practice, the figures are slightly different, when tested in conjunction with W960i was launched on an infinite loop playback on the full volume of calls during playback have been reported. As a result, time was about six hours of a penny. For such a device a bit. As usual, city mode, you may have enough battery power for two or three days rest for the night, a couple hours of music per day, an hour talking on the phone.
Communication with the phone, sound quality
The headset was tested with a smartphone Nokia N81 8Gb, SE W960i, as I said, the pairing and the work to be reliable, being connected, the power cuts and so on, with it's all right. Probably the most important in this case, the - this is quality music. I can say this: it's pretty average, not good, not bad, quite loudly, but somewhat blurred, indistinct bass, not only in the case of use with different smartphones sound picture is very similar. If we talk about the comparison with other similar products, the headset from Samsung is much better sound (clearer, brighter) then I will say about S9 from Motorola, to some extent this is also a competitor. wiREVO S300 is no substitute for wired headphones, to be honest, the sound can meet only the most lowly users.
As for voice quality, then this is more or less in order, the microphone is on cable, which provides its location close to your mouth and as a consequence, a good hearing. Actually, a buddy had few questions for the voice quality, I also heard all the bad. All the basic functionality works as it should, this last number redial, and activate voice dialing. In the case of the Nokia headset signal is transmitted to the call, in the SE instead of ringing hear your own signal. Effective range of 4-5 meters.
Conclusions
I specifically did not say anything about the outcome in the cupola, because here everything seems to be up and running, but only raises several questions. Hours seemed to be a bad thing, but here we must remember that other similar products operate in playback mode, eight, ten or even twelve hours. Playback quality is poor, the sound is rather flat and uninteresting. Wearing a place not so hot, bow is not much help, moreover, I did not like the dangling wires. In general, the product is sold in some places now and it costs about three thousand. I do not know what to think about the headset in the company ... But there are other products. Well, for example, Samsung SBH-500, which in all respects better wiREVO, has a comparable price. Or look at the Motorola S9, which has a similar way of wearing, but the quality of play on the head better. Can look at the Nokia BH-503 - the products and it is not a competitor. I would recommend you look at these sets and do not spend money on wiREVO - money is not quite adequate for what we get at the output.
