Overview of wireless speakers Nokia MD-5W

Wireless speakers, one thing from Nokia I was able to take popolzovavshis just a couple of days ago. Usually I test the device for a few days (talk about accessories), the headset goes from four days to two weeks, depending on the device. But this column is not a headset, this thing is much easier. On the other hand, while my hands were MD-5W, I sometimes caught myself thinking: "Well, now the music from your phone and you can listen to the speakers without wires - have survived." Remember, the first headset for music from an old, old music phones? Well, Siemens SL-45i, for example? By the way, not a bad headset, though, because you can press the central button to stop / resume. Then the market, in fact, nothing happened until the HPM-70, a whole series of headsets with ear-plugs, now flourishing wireless stereo solutions, stands with the speakers or just portable speakers. And now the speaker of the wireless handset manufacturer. In fact, survived.

Do you know what I especially eyesore, when I looked at the MD-5W? Joystick - yes, the black square in the middle. Somewhere I saw it, but that's where - to recall it was not possible. I even specifically asked "nokiytsev" at a recent presentation, where there used this form, answer, however, not received.

Later, I walked on the transition to "Alexander Garden" and recalled the interesting nicknames of our members of the forum (SashikKakashik, for example). Among the interesting nicknames surfaced and Mr Bormann, a famous fan of the entire east. Then I remembered that I mentioned Mr curious site - and it was then I remembered where I saw this joystick. Look at the picture Toshiba 803, did not like? In general, I was extremely glad that caught the elusive association of the tail and can share it with you.

Come on. Review, as you already understood, the pre-, there will be several departures from the main topic, but it should not excite you, to our subject, they are directly related. We will not adhere to the format, I'll take myself as akin -, speakers stand under my nose, I see, that I sing. Design stuff I like, it expensive, the same can be said about plastic - in the middle of it's black, glossy, easy zalapyvaemy, black and occupies the entire rear portion of the columns.

Dynamics of closed panels of silver, a hole in one. All controls are focused on the front, rear caps are sealed connectors for charging and connection to the phone via cable (3.5 mm) connector for charging fine.

Also, under the removable lid can be placed four batteries size AA, it's like you already understood, means that the device is completely self-sufficient (like a bear sucking his paw) and can run away from the wall.

With regard to controls, the joystick buttons are rewind, Play / Stop, the key that activates the effect of surround sound »(stereo widening). In the black box surrounding the joystick, are inscribed on / off button, volume up / down key, the answer to the call / end button. Keys are pressed easily, but their course I do not particularly like, one is slightly tugovat. However, this does not interfere with management. Indicator light winking merrily we are red, blue and purple from the area of ​​the left speaker, looks like it's not quite elegant, it's better to light have written somewhere in the black panel. To introduce the MD-5W in pairing mode, you must enable the device and not to remove your finger from the button (oil oil) a few more seconds until the light starts to blink frequently in different lights. I told him about this because our readers often ask how they can make the devices see each other.

I felt the column with the phone SonyEricsson P990i, it is more fun than with devices from Nokia.

Pairing occurred without any problems, MD-5W were connected to the smartphone, I turn on the player, and suddenly the connection was lost. Before I could go to the menu to reconnect, as she recovered. Then the player I went into the menu "Transfer sound", chose the MD-5W, and has finally enjoyed the sound of these speakers. Of course, enjoyed - this is a strong word. Reserve volume is there, but it is small, at a maximum of wheezing is observed, the bass is there, but as if to say, trimmed. In general, for an office, a small party, kolocheniya boast before their peers is enough. Adequately operate all the buttons, except for rewind, it does not work at all, just a phone.

But that's not all I can say. When you click on the button stereo expansion, quality change, not dramatically, but noticeably, it becomes more enjoyable. Also, I have a suspicion that with the Nokia N91 8Gb sound is completely different, much more pleasant, loud and quality.

A bit of bell functions. For the first time I see a product that works in this regard as it should. If you press the call button on the MD-5W, then activates a voice call, press twice - will be carried out last number redial. From 990th last has not passed, but the first - with a bang. When a call, you press the answer button and quietly talking to, much closer to the speakers do not need thirty centimeters from the speakers all work fine. Interlocutor's voice quality is good, you also hear the good, without a glitch. However, if you install the speakers in an office where a lot of things electronic goodness around, it is possible that voice quality will be different. A couple of days I was accustomed to use MD-5W home - very convenient to talk without being distracted from typing, exercising or cooking a delicious meal.

Finally, I decided to apply a bold experiment - make interfacing with AD-47W, USB-adapter comes with a stereo headset Nokia BH-500.

Honestly did not expect such a turn out, however, everything turned out. It was then that it was possible to evaluate the sound of dignity, in principle, not so bad, at the level of cheap computer speakers. With JetAudio everything worked perfectly, managing to speakers worked well, rewind within songs, however, is absent.

Conclusions

The sixth sense tells me that this accessory is not particularly consumed, does not promote thirst for possession, and the price - about 3500 rubles. After paying the money, the person gets the opportunity to listen to music, not attached to the columns of the phone, sound, well, average quality, but it works well speakerphone. Yes, there is a cool design, the device can operate in autonomous navigation (I'm not talking about time job because there can be put, or conventional batteries or powerful batteries, batteries with a couple of days in the country live it exactly), it can be connected to a computer its nice to get a gift. It is suspected that fly MD-5W is a gift and will be, it is gratifying that the work it can not just phones Nokia, but also with any other, if only A2DP supported (and there is also the player with Bluetooth).

PS And now let's imagine what awaits us in the future. Already, there are speaker systems for home, when the sound is literally follows you as you move from room to room, apparently was activated volume sensor or other tricky technology. If you really want, you can try to make a system based on the MD-5W - in each room are speakers that are connected to the network and interconnected via Bluetooth or even once. Arriving home, you can plug the device in one touch with the main column in one room, including reproduction and wander around the house or apartment, enjoying the haunting music, answering calls, using voice commands, typing the desired number, listening and composing SMS. Fun after all, eh? No amount of sensors are not needed, their role is a mobile phone. Those who want to get something similar now, is to buy three MD-5W, plug them in every room and test design. In principle, the Auto-after entering the code works fine, any problems may not be (if phone will not start "bounce" from working with three identical devices).
