If you regularly read articles on accessories, you have probably already made up their impression of the speakers for mobile phones. You can find in them a taste, to use at home or at work, hate producers for the introduction of such nonsense in the grocery line, you can not relate. Personally, I took myself to the latter category, I believe that such devices needs more producers than consumers, in order to emphasize the "musicality" of their vehicles. Moreover, the era of the heap all sorts of unnecessary things started at the height of iPod, many companies have decided, apparently so: if we do not make this player, then we will rivet even accessories of all kinds. Clearly, this is a good move, a little publication will bypass any tube-like sound system with support for "apple" player. And few would think about how important it is and need, above all in another.
In short, this year's speakers for mobile phones are experiencing the most natural flowering, to take at least strengthen Nokia's against this background - in 2008th we see the market five or six new devices of different directions, from the simple, hand-held, to expensive wireless . In this case, they all have a nice design, good quality playback (if we talk about such accessories) and cooling the blood price (except for the unpretentious models), the range will be from two to seven thousand. The Sony Ericsson somewhat different situation, because there are solutions to cost thousands of rubles (MPS-60/70), there is a music stand for seven or eight thousand. But this year the situation will change somewhat, as has its first wireless speaker MBS-100 which I have surveyed here, a very good quality playing MDS-65 and, finally, MAS-100, a youth product. I very much hope that the trick will be approximately six to seven hundred rubles, then it can become popular. However, let's look at its capabilities.
Thus, in the buttoned-up state of an accessory like cover for photographic, on the front side to squeeze a small company logo on the back - a loop for attaching to a belt or backpack with a carabiner. Materials are used as cheap in appearance and in content, the general form, respectively, some not so hot. Imagine what can we say about the design professional Photobags, and you will understand me, it's not design, then look. Lightning tugovat pleases fitting halves, a buttoned-up state of the seam is practically invisible.Unzips this "cover" view open pocket for cell phone and she stereo. Connector for connecting cleverly held under the mesh, there is hidden and twisted antenna. Need it for normal operation of the radio more, you can watch this process in the video. Work improvised music system as simple as two cents worth: connect your phone, op-la, hear music. You can stick the phone in pocket, fasten your bag, hang the speaker on the belt and to go to pick mushrooms and berries or "conquer the nightclubs of the capital."
However, the quality of sound upset me, here we used one speaker. At maximum volume, some "basovitye" songs sound awful, reducing the sound volume, we obtain almost similar to the dynamics of the phone (in my case it's W960i). Bad radio is playing, again, I recommend you watch the video in the review, many things will become clearer and clearer. Talking with connected accessories can be, the melody is passed to the device, you must take a call on the phone and talk hands-free operation. I do not think that it is very convenient, because the distance of effective operation is small.

Who needs this accessory? I do not think that these are people who are actively involved in sports, at home you can listen to music through a more serious device, a fitness center for you will look askance. Travelers? Perhaps, especially if we consider the speaker is not as speaker but as a cover. Music lovers? Similarly, no - absolutely no quality here, a toy. It turns out that there is only one category of customers who always pay attention to the MAS-100, adolescents, young people of school and preschool children. If the company would react properly to the price of an accessory, it is quite a can be sold, I believe that this cost "active speaker" has less than a thousand rubles, otherwise (1500-2000 rubles), its purchase is as an empty case, as Purchase Toshiba G500. Alas, folks, nothing interesting thing is not for maniacs, and the so-called "mass market". Deciding to test this assertion, I started like a chicken with egg, walk through the familiar, which have more or less adult kids (students up to tenth grade). Found a couple of folks that MAS-100 is very pleased, however, one phone was Nokia, the second one - Motorola. Interestingly, the guys immediately started to think a lot of reasons to buy a speaker: "Well, you can when you go to listen to the bicycle or when you walk include ... Well, at school, too cool to be ..." Maybe some wrong kids, but their views coincided with mine.
You've got to make a small digression. In their daily activities once forget that the success of companies do not bring expensive things like the Nokia N95 8Gb, and more prosaic models that are "techno-freaks" and do not look. However, as in the light of recent, and how simple adequate buyers who believe the sellers, the inscriptions on the packaging and so on. Developing the theme, I would say that this year's Sony Ericsson's worth the wait of a universal peace - expanding the model range with an emphasis on low to medium-price model, a minimum of products for advanced compatriots.Here is described today accessory fits perfectly into this strategy, as well as bred Headset PV-Series. Which of the aksessuariki new in Barcelona - there are only guessing, hope remains that the CES had brought only the most simple and uncomplicated.
PS As far as I liked the MBS-100 wireless, so it's not like opportunistic product. I understand that need and very cheap stuff, but it's better quality and interesting MPS-70 than it is.
