The headset, which will be discussed today, has not been presented extensively on the Russian market, the distributor is the same company that carries here a remarkable Wise & Blue. However, with wiREVO relationship I have had no luck.

Design and construction

As you can see, the headset consists of a kruglyashok, on the one hand, he has a mirror pad, on the other - a small monochrome displeychik. I did not like the mirror overlay, such as feminine, not only from a practical point of view is of no interest, at first I thought that peep through the mirror one display or something, but this did not happen. Moreover, the form of the headset somehow does not match the owner (and similar devices consume mostly men), something reminding women's player-pendants of different companies. Collected trick well, there is nothing to say, some elements clearly borrowed from the products of other brands of headphones reminiscent of the iPod, the key response to the call - headset Samsung. Simply put, design is not liked me, I can safely call it none.

The second disappointment was waiting for me in the connector, because it is not 3.5 mm and 2.5 mm in the good old days, and, moreover, strongly retracted into the housing. Complete headphones to twist in the case, and in a certain way, peeking out to display, rather than metallized pad (which it generally proc if it "looks" you in the chest?). Naturally, I tried to connect the headset with the Nokia connector, they do not stick, the same can be said about the adapter - normally you can only use the headset in the kit. But they leave much to be desired.

As you have already realized the strap to be worn around the neck combined with headphones, the length of the "necklace" (as it is affectionately called in the manual) can be adjusted.

To sum up - in the design and construction of all was not well. This is a subjective element, but you can not use your own headphones you do not like it, sure. The headset is available not only in black and white, you can see how it looks, here on this site.

Management

At the ends of the headset is placed a lot of buttons: On / Off, Play / Stop, REW / FF, volume control, a one-line display is a multifunction button. They all do their duty honestly, work the way it is written in a fairly dire statement (this applies to the printing and imaging). To pair, press the multifunction button and hold it, turn the headset on displeychike appears Search me, so we did.

In general, my impression that the display is only a formality, because the sense from him a little and could not install it if not for Khoi-which features (of which later). Apart from him no additional ways to indicate no. As an example, the display in the Sony Ericsson HBH DS-970, there is displayed on the battery level, and here to verify the need to hold down both volume buttons and the number of blinks to determine the remaining time. Anybody want to do this?

The only advantage - number display when an incoming call, but to this we shall return.

Hours

Claimed battery life in standby is 150 hours in active mode, this figure decreases to 12 hours (music playback - 8:00). I tested the time as follows: after fully charging the battery to connect the headset to the smartphone Motorola Z8, including playing one song in a circle at full volume, the song started playing in 11.25, when I woke up at six in the morning, the sounds from the headphones still sounded, I continue to experiment did not continue. In general, it is possible to speak of the confidence of seven hours of work a lot, is comparable to stereo Sony (the most impressive time on the market). Then, the battery in my copy has not swung, it is possible that it will play even longer. Full-charge time via USB is about three hours from the network - and a half hours.

Oh, I forgot to say something more important: it uses a standard connector miniUSB, which is very good for the consumer, such charge is everywhere. From the computer wiREVO easy and hassle-free charging. Lithium-polymer battery, the recommended application temperature ranges from -10 to + 50 degrees, in winter, this time must be considered.

Communication with the phone, sound quality

Like I said, for interfacing to make some difficult steps, rather than simply pressing and holding a button. Following the discovery, enter the code, it is standard, 0000. The headset supports the following profiles: A2DP, AVRCP, HSP, HFP - all standard.

To begin, I realized the pairing with the laptop (Profile 2.0 for both devices, the drivers Toshiba), it was not the first time, were rough. When listening to music at first were small delays, which then turned into a torture - from the composition length of three minutes in total was reproduced fifty seconds. Moreover, after turning off the same picture I see with my homemade toys - Secret Headset from Samsung and Sony BT-DR50. Problem resolved reinstalling the driver, who is to blame for what happened - did not even know. So probably not true Sony SZ, formerly of "stocks" did not notice.

I then began to torture Samsung F500, which headset found, connected, but the sound did not want to pass hard, then there seems to be okay, but the song played, or the speaker phone, or in the void. Okay, connect to wiREVO Motorola Z8, the device weirdo in Bluetooth (as you need to reboot after listening to the DS-200?). Pairing was surprisingly quick, immediate, on the phone screen was visible, as is the connection profiles ... Yeah, I went HFP, HSP ... She is now, well, what next? Include music and enjoy a terrible monokachestvom, divided into two channels, connect only the profiles that are responsible for the calls and call management. What kind of nonsense?

Well, reconnect, reboot - again, great picture is the same. Repeat the experiment at the same time look in the manual and precipitate. It turns out, not just in the display hanging sign HandsFree - press and hold the Play button on the headset to activate the stereo, as we say, corresponding to the inscription on the display. After that you can enjoy music in the truest sense - sound quite clean, but here a really suggest themselves other headphones. As they say suppliers, it can be completed "gags" a la SE HPM-70 and so on, but we have what we have - uncomfortable with not particularly great sound "pill" that can not be replaced.

When a call is displayed the phone number "XXXXXXX 7", the names from your address book is not passed, so much use this functionality does not carry.

Voice quality is directly proportional to the distance from the mouth microphone, it is not very sensitive, so do not expect a hands-free talk on wiREVO, blochok best to bring it to my lips.Works all the necessary functionality such as last number redial, voice, sound can be switched to the phone. The same can be said about listening - all the control works properly, the delay is minimal. In the headset mounted on the device transmitted the call, in the quiet mode hear your own sound. Range of practice in the apartment is about five meters further away the problem starts.

Push email works without problems, as well as the continuation of play after the call - for the Moto Z8 revealing moment this device "like" not all headsets.

Conclusions

To summarize, let's look at the pros and cons of the device:

• For a long time compared to all the headsets in this format on the market can compare with headset Sony
• High-quality listening
• Sufficiently convenient control
• For some, it will be a plus the presence of the display, which displays the number of incoming calls
• Good voice quality when the microphone is close from the mouth

Disadvantages are:

• Designed like the whole
• Inability to use your own headphones, it is difficult to pick up an adapter 2.5-3.5 mm
• To put it mildly, not very good earphones
• Oddities in working with some phones, laptops need to be sure to check the work before you buy
• The ability to switch modes of use may mislead the consumer

As you all know, the market for about two years reigns of such a product, such as Sony Ericsson HBH-970, there is the 980-I model, which perfectly complements it. Product to some extent the ideal is, of course, a number of irregularities (at work, for example). WiREVO compete in the event of massive sales have it with her and then everything will depend on the price at retail 970-I still costs about three thousand rubles, a unique case where the price of the accessory does not change for a long time. If the products will be anything like a similar price, then it waits for a failure - even without reading the review of the consumer is unlikely to choose an unknown brand headset for the money. Adequate numbers, in my opinion, is within seven hundred thousand - two thousand, and then, if the kit will include other headphones.

And add their personal impressions of a snob in any case I am not, at wiREVO has strengths - at least the quality of play and work time, but the product I could use did not begin because of the terrible packaged headphones. Supplier company should pay special attention to this, Russian consumers of such technology is now extremely difficult to cheat. But manufacturers should work on the software, some things will be hard to understand the consumer, and understand the intricacies few will - simply carry the goods to the store, take the money and buy another headset.
