Sony SBH52: review
SBH52 is currently Sony’s most advanced headset. What is there, the new gadget simply does not have worthy competitors. After all, Sony SBH52 is an incredibly multi-functional device. The headset can be used as a mini-phone, radio, player, etc. Moreover, the SBH52 boasts convenient control buttons and a ton of entertaining functions that you can learn about in this article.
Design
The new Sony headset is characterized by a strict, business-like appearance. The device is a black elongated rectangle. This atypical form of the gadget is due to the fact that it can be used as a phone. The headset comes exclusively in classic black colors. Thanks to this, Sony SBH52 goes well with both a business suit and casual wear. On the front panel there is a small display with which you can find out about the status of the device (charge indicator, name of the track being listened, sound level, subscriber number, etc.). Another plus of SBH52 is the presence on the end of a small connector (3.5 mm). Thanks to him, you can connect headphones to the device.
The headset comes with standard headphones with a short cable. They sound pretty good (nevertheless, inveterate music lovers will probably get something more solid). As for ease of use, then everything is at its best. If you attach the headset to clothes, then the wire, due to its modest size, will not interfere. Also, one section of the cable is longer than the other, which allows you to hang the headphones on the neck. In addition, the kit comes with various nozzles (three sizes), so you can customize the SBH52 headphones for yourself.
The design of the gadget does not cause any complaints. No creaks and backlashes were noticed. The case is quite durable. It is also worth noting that the Sony SBH52 has splash protection. Therefore, it is possible that subsequent headsets from Sony will receive full protection against water. The dimensions of the device are small. Thanks to this, the headset fits even into jeans pockets without any problems. The weight of the gadget is only 23 grams, which positively affects its ergonomics.
Music
You can listen to songs in three ways. The first is the radio. Everything is simple and clear here. All you need is to connect to the necessary wave and enjoy the music. Thanks to the built-in FM tuner with RDS support, you can listen to the radio even without connecting to the phone. The device clearly catches waves, no interference is observed. The second way is to connect to the headphones via BlueTooth. Again, everything is clear. Every modern headset has this feature. But the third way to listen to songs is quite interesting and atypical. Its essence is to transfer music through the speakerphone without headphones. Of course, this is not the most useful feature, but it is definitely worthy of attention.
The sound quality is completely dependent on the headphones. With the complete sound is smooth and clean, but you can’t expect anything beyond. To squeeze out all the juices from the SBH52, you will have to look for better headphones.
Battery
Headset SBH52 boasts its autonomy. The device can work non-stop in music playback mode up to 11 hours, and in a telephone conversation mode - up to 4 hours. This is a pretty good indicator. The SBH52 has a 115 mAh battery. The device is fully charged in two hours. In general, the headset works for a couple of hours longer than most smartphones with the Android OS.
Features
Perhaps the main feature of this device is the ability to use as a phone. On the front panel there are a speaker and a microphone. In addition, the headset supports a unique technology from Sony called Voice HD, which provides excellent speech quality.
Another interesting feature is the ability to connect a headset to two devices at the same time. In addition, there are such interesting functions as text to speech, a special call log, etc. And this is not even half of what Sony SBH52 is capable of. The instructions that come with the device will help you familiarize yourself with the full range of functions.
Output
In the end, we can say that the SBH52 is an excellent headset that has a lot of advantages. First of all, the incredible functionality of the device pleases. Initially, Sony tried to make an additional accessory to modern smartphones. But in the end they got a completely independent device that can be used for calls, listening to music, radio. In addition, it pleases with a stylish design, battery life, good headphones and an intuitive interface. Perhaps such an abundance of functions will scare away the everyday user. But an advanced user is only attracted to the purchase of the device. Moreover, the price is quite disposable. The cost of the device is quite affordable. To become a happy owner of the SBH52 headset, you will have to pay only 3,000 rubles (about 1,000 hryvnias). By today's standards, this is just a ridiculous price.
