Slowly, polegonku we consider the latest novelties accessories from Motorola, I am writing this review, but in my ears already playing music with the "extended» Motorola S9. That which provides surround sound and all that. In general, we'll talk about it in the review, but for now let's look at the massive black stuff.

There is nothing wrong with that to brand themselves under a good thing. Or, in collaboration with a certain company, a professional in the industry to do any project. Examples at the moment a lot, and so have the Nokia, and Samsung, and Motorola, and Sony Ericsson (here you can talk about the indiscriminate borrowing of everything his older brother, but also as an example of a completely amiss). We see how, in collaboration with fashion houses to the light image-born model, audiophiles will help make music phones, photographic brands connect their future with cameraphones and so on and so forth. What is JBL? This is a company that manufactures and develops audio equipment for home, cars, yachts, iPod and iPhone. It seems like it was in his field quite famous and interesting. Honestly, I do not like JBL speakers for your computer, whether affected by the eternal love of the Microlab, whether something else, but a few tested the taste did not have anything. You may have a different opinion, every man to his own taste. However, today we are not talking about some kind of powerful multi-channel system, but only on a rather small wireless speakers, JBL, I talked about is not accidental, a product of the efforts of its engineers and designers, even with the filing of the guys from Motorola. As a result, the body we can find already three logo is a label at the top of JBL in the front end - pimpochka with the letter M, at the bottom of the body - and even ROKR; complete, in short. But this is not the point.

But the fact is that JBL is absolutely the right way, working with Motorola, and Nokia, to the same is issued and a whole range of different devices for "portativki" from Apple, which is absolutely correct. I think that will not lie if I say that many consumers and learned about the JBL is in the news regarding the release of a new dock for iPhone or iPod, the main activity remains in the shadows. Cited this passage simply as a piece of reflection on the big topic: what the future will behave in those "professionals" in any field, what will happen to small companies, known for its achievements in various fields, but are not giants?

In general, let's not get distracted and move on to the speakers. Benefit here is something to tell.

Design and construction

Appearance reminiscent of electric clock, you begin to look at the motor board with numbers, can not find it, remember that this is not the kind of thing lightly. A sort of flat pancake with beveled ends quite heavy, weighing more than four grams with batteries - a stationary piece for a cabinet or room, take a trip is also possible, but not in place EQ7 peremetnoy bag are his work, and in the case. As you can see, the top panel is a mesh of metal does not bend, hidden beneath four little speakers. The front panel controls, the bottom is closed round the battery compartment cover is closed it is a simple turn.There are four rubber feet that do not provide speakers to go on the table and provide stability. Behind are two connectors - supply and 3.5 mm for a player or phone via the appropriate cable.

Painted and assembled accessory nice thing looks solidly, firmly, but not stylish, affects the similarity of the clock. But will fit into any interior, and the more I add nothing.

Management

Front panel is full of light, joy and happiness, blue LED winks Bluetooth, pairing mode it flashes. Backlit keys control playback, they then three, it is traditional Rew, FF, and Play / Pause, they are sandwiched between round buttons adjust the volume. Another shining greens on indicator and power, side by side off the tube - it is not just a signal, and a hidden control button. Yes, yes, it's not just a column, it is also a speaker, microphone hole is shaped as letters akkurat by JBL. In addition, the rear we can find the on / off button, if you press and hold, then the device goes into pairing mode. Nothing clever, nothing complicated, everything is very simple and clear. Find fault with here is not to anything, so go ahead.

Food

Depending on whether you choose to register Thing on my desk, or kinetic energy in the bag and go on a picnic, and vary the type of food. Under the lid is cut off for four batteries AA, from which EQ7 can be quite long, I had enough for seven hours until it was time to end the experiment. Or, you simply plug the charger, it is a special type, with a round plug unprecedented - to lose or break is not recommended. In general, and could in fact and leave us without a chance to go on a picnic. But not left. It pleases.

Communication with the phone speaker

Testing was performed in conjunction with Nokia N81, Motorola Z10 (something new, yeah). To begin with empirically found out that the multipoint connection is not supported, and that accurate information was not on this occasion. Then we found out that the Nokia N81 as a curve in the working mode of the speaker voice dial, to find a single subscriber, speaking directly into the microphone device did not work, but with the Z10, everything turned out. The device has a profile Bluetooth 2.0, there is support HF1.5, A2DP, AVRCP - everything is standard, no surprises.EQ7 use as a speaker can, but not very interesting due to the fact that the interlocutors do not really like it when you suddenly disappear, they did not like the echo, they did not like the cotton soft voice, which is usually filled with tireless strength. Therefore, my verdict is this: use this mode Thing can be, but when the hands are quite right. Incidentally, during the conversation should not be far to depart, the effective distance is thirty centimeters, still more or less normal.

Now about the music. Interestingly, in tandem with N81 again having difficulty: No, they are not connected with the music, but solely with management. It is, sorry, very slow, you click on the phone Play, and start this very Play in a while when you are in the hearts of committed an act of reconnection (a bit exaggerating, but something like that). Moreover, sometimes it works fine, but sometimes starts here is nothing inexplicable behavior. With the Z10 is all like a fairy tale, that is okay. But we're not really interested in control, right? It somehow works, so be it.

Much more interesting to listen to music. Especially when you have something to listen to. Played four speakers EQ7 good, loud, so somewhere deep voice even, but of no pressure or big "badabume" out of the question - so you can simply listen, relax or tense up. That is, in my enthusiasm for the quality of play has not caused, as if something was missing, something is trimmed or merely cut off. Voice study to present a background of your favorite songs, you can, but right now enjoy - not-a. The situation changes when you connect the cable, but I would not say that right too much.

Conclusions

Oddly enough, but good old JBL On Tour zarulivayut EQ7 (oops, again, this JBL came out), though the first is already considered old and is worth a thousand two, and the second is only prepared to start and will cost, I suppose, thousands more than three and sometimes all four. Yes, it's such a beautiful accessory for fans of Motorola, is with him, and a speaker, and lights and stuff, but that's just good, good quality playback is not, alas. Thing, of course, universal, suitable for any device that supports A2DP (well, almost any), but here Sony Ericsson MBS-100 is much more fun in this regard, at least because of the unusual design. Will Motorola EQ7 popular accessory in the world? In the U.S., of course, will have - is unlikely, unless you move the line along with accessories, ROKR phone (also very cool to help get rid of the excess so-called complete sets under the action). Good thing, I'm not even going to argue, but the sound could be better. Although most consumers it is completely (more than) satisfied with.
