If you remember the first time a Bluetooth adapter for phones without a built-in function came bundled headset Jabra BT-200, it was such a shapeless thing, which had a slot for some phones. Actually, to him, and connected the headset, worth a bundle in those days (about five years ago) quite a lot, but the owner of virtually any device able to feel on the crest of a wave of modern technology.
In fact, only the Jabra one way or another to manufacture and sell adapters to connect your headset to "nebesprovodnomu" phone. There was another adapter from Nokia called the AD-5B, but in our country it was released at a time when there was not anybody needed in connection with mass insertions Bluetooth-chips in all that is ringing. Jabra has also appeared nice square little thing called the A-120, it came up just beneath the much larger number of models by 3.5 mm. Due to low cost and timely appearance on the market Thing many remember to this day. Adapter Jabra A-120S - a modernized version, whereby the accessory can be connected to the wireless stereo headset, this trick came on the market not so long ago.
A slight digression, which would tell about how they work stereotransmittery with Bluetooth and why they generally need:
- You connect the adapter to 3.5 mm of its equipment (the phone without A2DP, console, player, voice recorder, laptop, etc.).
- By means of simple manipulations things connect headphone.
- Listen to music, play games, etc. without wires.
Considered today a model has several distinguishing features, I will not break the story on Glaucus, but simply gather all your feelings in a heap. So, Sony TMR-BT10, please love and favor.
Design of the device is interesting, one thing is unclear: why the transmitter of this size, almost any MP3-player has the same volume. On the other hand, the battery life is 11 hours in active mode, the battery takes up almost the entire internal volume. The design is interesting, it's a sandwich, where the silver box to squeeze in an array of black plastic.These things brutal photos from the transmitter does not look particularly in real life impression of me, as virtually any stuff from Sony, there are some, at first imperceptible nuances. Well, for example, the indicators are hidden in a strip that divides the device into two parts, they are small and neat, not lurid. Naturally, the front panel is very easily soiled, fingerprints are easily removed with a soft cloth.
Control keys are only two - is the Power button on the back end (it will activate the pairing mode) and the key is initialized on the front, where special bumps. When you click on it the adapter disconnected from the headset begins to scan the area for search is already connected devices. Yes, on the right side is a hole in it is hidden button Reset, when you click on it from the memory erases all previously stored by the headset.
Transmitter cable is long enough, even though it twisted, I believe that the length is excessive. For attachment to clothing provided "Crocodile" on the rear panel, in principle, everything is pretty reliable.
As you already understood, Thing is sometimes necessary to charge, well, because it is Sony, it's not so simple. To charge, connect to the network charger cradle that comes with a cradle and insert the headset. Without the charging cradle will not occur. Why so, why it is so - who knows, perhaps, the man from Sony do not travel, and if they are traveling, we love to be a drag absolutely useless things. Okay, the desktop cradle looks cool and all, but how about using the road? But the most interesting is that the cradle is included, and two Sony headsets with Bluetooth, review will take place in the near future (just recently). So, what do you think the same cradle? No! That is, if judged by the logic, the transmitter is designed primarily for use with headsets Sony. I understand that the connectors are the devices located in different ways, but for some reason could not make some one crafty cradle for charging? And now it turns out that on my desktop was formed two stands - one for the adapter, the other for the headset.
As I said earlier, claimed battery life - approximately 11 hours. Well, I must admit that the practical performance is very close to the stated figure, I have an adapter lasted somewhere nine o'clock and forty minutes with a headset Sony Ericsson HBH DS-980, the latter having had to recharge after somewhere in the four hours of merrymaking on the PSP.
Now for the work itself is probably the most important to you, the reader, argument. Thus, the adapter would be tested with the Nokia N91 and the Sony PSP, for me the two most "painful" device in the sense that they do not have wireless capabilities. To the adapter, I connected a headset Sony Ericsson DS-980, DS-970, as well as the headset Sony DR-BT20 NX. Accessory can easily remember the eight previously paired devices, therefore, all headsets are conjugate and in turn tested. The very process of conjugation is not a big deal, you press the Power button on the adapter and hold for seven seconds until both LEDs begin to blink evenly. After that you enter into pairing mode the headset. Within seconds, the device will find each other. Recommend to connect the adapter to 3.5 mm jack and include some sound - music or game, for example. So you can quickly see when things will find each other. After that you can do whatever your heart wants, enjoying exemption from the wires. Well, now literally running line on the findings:
With all the headsets, and all connected devices observed slight background noise at high volume, he can not hear perfectly, but in the pauses between tracks traced very clearly.
The best quality of play (and really very, very good) was achieved when connecting to a Nokia N91 and the headset from Sony, and I liked the work of the same ligament with Sony PSP (preset sound Heavy).
With headsets from Sony Ericsson sound quality was good, but all the same product "parent" companies showed the best results and audio performance, and operating time (DR-BT20NX work at least two times longer than DS-970/980).
The games all excellent headset itself has shown, I've had a great evening, a couple of hours for Tekken without wires, from which I have played neurasthenia.
Naturally, I could not connect the adapter to your favorite UMPC Samsung Q1, then I liked the sound quality and volume of all sets, again, the product from Sony was slightly better than the 980-I.
The stated range is 10 meters in apartments to move away from the source "lossless" turned out to three meters, then started falling out music, sounds and other troubles.
Control playback with the headset is not working, consider this point (with a headset you can change only the volume - and thanks for that).
Conclusions
I really liked the little thing, not only is it one of the few gadgets that I bought for their money (yet to buy the player Sony 800th series). I gave him a little more than one thousand five hundred and do not regret, the only drawback of this piece - referred to the background noise, but you hear it at high volume will not.As far as selecting a headset adapter (if you choose), then I would recommend a product from the same company (not from Sony Ericsson), that time coincided.
