After much research I naturally turned to the HS3000 rather than his rival at Sony Ericsson. First I am very satisfied Samsung products and despite the model from Sony has a display and a certain reputation, the Samsung has strong arguments. To know that the Sony screen is blank with some smartphones !!!
The Samsung HS3000 is more recent and therefore provide additional assurance when its compatibility with a wide range of devices.
His sobriety. The finish is the most beautiful effect. The dark color and the absence of lights make it a subject that will go on any type of clothing.
Of good quality, the clip seems tough and hangs well with any thick clothing.
The support of the APT-X codec was the decisive element. Currently, most headsets and other audio devices are confined to the SBC codec. APT-X also provides a clean audio quality than the CD, as the scanning of the format generates only very little loss. The distortion is almost absent, unlike the SBC codec.
Namely, the new codec supports only newer devices such as the Galaxy S2, HTC One X, etc. So I advice to all future buyer to check whether the bluetooth device has the standard.
The headphones are supplied to substitute other better quality. The microphone is present on the HS3000 you will have no limits on the choice of headphones. A tip, prefer those with neck strap to reduce losses because the principle of the free hand is to be able to move without concession ... For my part I have Sennheiser CX300 II highly efficient and available for under 35 .
In practice it is sufficient to turn on the camera after activating BT on his smartphone for the link to be done (there was a manipulation to the first commissioning). Following this a beautiful voice tells you that the link is made. With choice of language (eng, fr, sp, etc)! If this is not pretty! It is still possible to disable this feature.
The audio quality is the rendezvous and without cuts ... except when we zap music there is a mini break in early music. Otherwise than that RAS. The scope is also very good. Mowing leaving the smartphone on the window sill is now a reality!
The battery life of 6 hours in music allows for a lot of trips before falling flat. Ability to see the remaining battery via the color of the LED that is active. Charging takes less than 2 hours.
Handling the HS3000 is very simple. A single large button on the front for answer / end / call via voice recognition. The other reading-related music keys are arranged on the sides and arranged like MP3 players. Can not go wrong.
I have no criticism to make. Admittedly, Samsung has yet hit hard.
