In this article I want to talk about what is happening with stereo bluetooth-headsets. In short, there is not any good. Let's talk about the current product lines of manufacturers, the causes of extinction and other things.Current stockIf
you recall the situation in five, four, even three years ago, most
major manufacturers have tried to keep in the line of about two, three
or even four wireless stereo headset. Perhaps out of habit. The
first warning bell has occurred in times of crisis, when many firms are
severely reduced range of accessories, and so do some became bankrupt
(Iqua). After the crisis situation is to some extent, returned to the former, but not for long. The explanation is simple, when people have no money, the less likely they spend at the remains of a thing is not essential. This is the first reason. The second - most of the audience has already met the advanced capabilities of bluetooth-stereo headsets. I think many of you, so to speak, burned and talk about this process, I very long time. I have before my eyes a lot of examples of friends, girlfriends. A long time used the SE DS-970, while there is not dead battery. After that he did not change the typeface, my question answered: "I'm tired of charge, simply plug in your headphones." Another
friend had persistent problems with connecting a stereo headset, Jabra
to the iPhone - perhaps it was only a problem of specific binding, but
this is not a bad experience caused him to change the hardware. No, he just went back to wired headphones. Have
long been a friend Motorola S9, for the gym, she wears it in a bag
along with the sneakers and other things necessary for employment - is
not going to change. According
to her, if anything happens to the S9, it will buy a wired headset
Monster, which is just designed for the sport (Power Beats Sport).
And my example is also noteworthy. I was once an enthusiastic stereo-bluetooth. Without false modesty I can say that it is due to the materials on the site, many people did know of the existence of such solutions, first tried this accessory. Some things became hits, and not without editorial Mobile-review.com. Recall at least the same SE DS-970, remember though Jabra BT-3030, a number of other products. It's not even the fact that the last three years I move the car. Place the headset in my infrastructure would be found. But I do not really like the fact that key issues were not resolved. For example, a hundred years is already known technology NFC, which would facilitate the connection of a headset at times, especially for those who have not had anything to do with such products. Moreover, such products have been doing at Nokia, the brand that is worth very much to praise. The sound quality is not done better, time does not become greater, and the last parameter can be called one of the key, but when you buy people do not pay attention to this important design legend. And then many just plain annoying to charge the headset and it goes into a cozy corner of the dust. I mean that the headset can still be improved and there is room to grow, but in fact are the year, but this does not happen. Hence the confidence of consumers. For example, recently tested the Harman / Kardon BT, and even if you stepped on a bear's head, you'll hear the difference when connect the device via bluetooth to the phone, and then take advantage of the cable. Less than ambient noise, the sound changes. Yes, it is added to the cable, but is it bad?
Review of Bluetooth-headset Harman / Kardon BTI would personally use a wireless headset at the gym, on average, spend a week there for about three hours, sometimes more, sometimes less. But that's where the cable is absolutely not necessary. I look forward to now, when it comes Plantronics BackBeat Go, perhaps, the perfect thing for my purposes. But, let's see how things stand now, the manufacturers of accessories that are of interest in the lines. I think it's going to be very clear - remember, only a few years ago, on average, the Nokia was three to four wireless stereo headset, and about six or seven regular bluetooth-headsets. Plus, wireless speakers, the device in the car, turned out on the range of sometimes more than a dozen bluetooth-gadgets. What is happening now.
I'll start with Nokia, at the time the company was one of the leaders in this market, I'm not talking about phones, but about Bluetooth. Now in the line of three stereo headset, a sport, Nokia BH-505 is available in different colors, looks good, is protected from the spray, this product was introduced before the start of the Nokia perturbations and still remained in the range.It is strange that on the official site says nothing about the BH-905/BH-905i, but it's flagship product, one of the best bluetooth-headsets on the market.
Model Nokia BH-111 headset is easy, in a different color, you can plug in their headphones, convenient operation.Similarly, the form factor and the model has Nokia BH-610, its main feature - the system noise, the headphones can not be replaced immediately. But you can somehow make the sound, plus the description says the good quality of voice: "Technology of the feedback ANC and Natural Speech technology provides a natural and clear sound while talking on the phone." There NFC for easy connectivity. Really want to tinker with this product, it is curious.What we see here? On the one hand, as if in a line of three wireless stereo headset. But two of them have no means new, is a Nokia BH-610. And it is truly interesting thing, apparently, it has collected some past developments of the company. It will try soon to tell you all the details.About Motorola Accessories past I can tell for a long time, and with gusto, but for now on the official website, only one mono headset, Motorola HZ800.As they say, is finite in A Comedy.At Sony (last Sony Ericsson) a product that is Smart Wireless Headset pro, will soon review. Here, collected all the best, the headset has a built in FM-tuner, capable of working in isolation from the phone, not only has a slot for memory cards microSD, the device operates as a player. Small screen, the ability to change headphones. In the old days it would be a top solution, and now - only a stereo headset in the lineup.The LG in the last Congress, showed a few accessories, but they probably do not will get to Russia. So we can safely forget about it. The Samsung this year, a strange situation, I still do not see the future stereo headsets, and in fact the company has had its interesting developments. On the American side of the site mentioned Samsung HM3700 and HS3000, similar products, a kind of typical small blocks, you can plug in their headphones.Apparently, Samsung understands that attention to this area does not cost, it is better to concentrate on the more popular accessories, it covers, wired headset, and other solutions.In the line of Jabra currently have HALO2, STREET2 (continued BT3030), CLIPPER, plus the remaining old products.
Review Headset Jabra ClipperAs far as I know, the company plans to soon submit a bluetooth-speaker, but what for stereo headsets, here, apparently waiting for a line cut.About Plantronics I have said, the company was lucky to some extent, BackBeat Go is very different from other headsets, two headset connected to the cable and everything. This idea is not new, has been realized for the first time Sony Ericsson, but now BackBeat Go picked up fallen banner - there is every reason to believe that the product will be popular. Prices in Russia, about 3,000 rubles, expensive, but justifies the unusual price. Yes, and convenient to simply crumple the headset, remove it in his pocket. In this case, good sound quality, and delivery of voice is all right. The only disadvantage is time.Review of Bluetooth-headset Plantronics BackBeat GoI said to a few companies that are also sometimes considered releasing products - or have only recently decided to try their strength in this segment. As a rule, it does not get anything good. Even the legend of Beats by Dr.Dre does not help sell the wireless model. In conversations with representatives of various companies I hear about this category is only one opinion - the goods are not sold in retail hang for a long time, consumers are interested in other solutions. Over the past year, I almost never hear positive opinions about the stereo-bluetooth. Forgetfulness, silence, and one headset in the lines from major manufacturers. Occasionally there is a surge of interest among consumers, but he did not regard the category, and individual products, so now is the case with the Plantronics BackBeat Go.Causes and effects

Of
course, not merely the absence of the evolution of market forces push
away a stereo-bluetooth headset, the real reason lies elsewhere. This is a very subjective opinion, but should thank the company Monster Beats by Dr.Dre and, in particular. What happened with the advent of the brand? In
fact, headphones are a fashionable product, and is not fashionable
amongst advanced, versed in the art of people, and among youth in
general. Fire started in the U.S. consumer, and later spread to Europe. In dozens of companies picked up the trend and began to produce not just headphones, earphones and trendy, stylish, trendy. Part of urban culture. Hipsters. And all that jazz. Headphones
five years ago - something utilitarian, gray or black body color, the
main differences in the characteristics of sound. Now this expanse, what you want to color panels for iOS, overhead, folding, insertion, monitor - choose on taste. A lot of exciting new brands. And
if you had some headphones bundled with the phone user or a player is
quite enough, but now young people almost immediately after buying the
iPod Touch, iPhone or the Samsung Galaxy S3 seeks to immediately buy the
"ears" to taste. Fortunately, the choice is huge.And
there is no point talking about the advantages of wired headphones -
stuck in the socket and listen, do not charge anything, plus you can
always stand out in a crowd. Red Beats Cable can be seen from afar. And the headphones are cheaper than a bluetooth-headset. A colleague - the owner of the shop, where there are headphones, talked a lot about how people choose. The girl was buying because of the color AiAiAi cable, and an example of such mass.Again, a few years ago, such interest to the headphones were not even close. And now it is normal "ears" squeezed from the market advanced wireless headsets.Wireless bad jobWhat's left to add. Probably
in the future, manufacturers will remain at the same stereo-bluetooth
headset in the lineup, and it will be the most advanced solution. At least, I would recommend to do just that way. For Samsung it is perfectly acceptable. But now for the Jabra - not because the company specializes in only the bluetooth-accessories. Who
should pay more attention to wired headsets and carrying back
achievements from the world of bluetooth, and a noise reduction system,
and codecs, which improves the sound. In the next few years to wait to change the situation is not worth it. Even
if we imagine that everywhere in the Jabra will introduce NFC, the
headset will work a month without charge, to have good sound quality, it
is still easy to deal with useless headphones - brands are becoming
more and demand is high. Moreover, the range of prices and huge. You can buy inexpensive fun v-Jays, you can spend three hundred dollars on the Beats, and that people do with great pleasure.And,
finishing material, I want to remember the 2002nd year when we were
sitting in your favorite Eldar "Melange" and talked enthusiastically
about the future of wireless stereo headsets Sony Ericsson, Nokia (and
both used the DS-970). Yesterday saw the Eldar, with the Samsung Galaxy S3, it uses tiny Beats. And I was sitting with a laptop TMA-1. Times have changed. Maybe for the better.
