Review of SVEN AP-B770MV wireless stereo headphones. LG XBOOM Go PK Series Portable Speaker Systems: High Quality Sound, Style and Portability

Hello.

Quite a lot of questions always arise with the sound: sometimes it’s not there, sometimes it’s hard to hear, sometimes the connectors are not right to connect the plug, or something else...

In this article I would like to dwell on the issue of connecting and setting up computer headphones with a microphone (approximately the same as in Fig. 1). After all, it’s quite difficult to imagine without them normal work on a PC: you won’t talk to friends and relatives on the Internet, you won’t listen to music or watch a movie in the evening (so as not to disturb anyone), etc.

1. if you have too much quiet sound and you want to strengthen it:
2. if you have no sound on your computer -

Fig.1. Headphones with microphone // as an example (not advertising!)

Types of connectors and plugs / adapters

The most common classic computer headphones with a microphone have two plugs: green and pink (see Fig. 2). Green is for transmitting a signal to the headphones, and pink is for the microphone.

Rice. 2. 2 plugs on classic computer headphones (they are also called mini-jack)

Actually, if you look at the back wall system unit computer - you will see 3 connectors (Fig. 3). Their colors are usually always standard: pink (for the microphone), blue ( line input for connecting audio devices), and green (linear output for headphones, speakers, etc.).

By the way, such connectors (as in Fig. 3) may not exist if you do not have an audio card installed on your PC. You can find out its model and determine whether it is installed from this article:

Rice. 3. Outputs on the back of the computer

Actually, if everything is so, you just need not to confuse the colors and connect the plugs to the right connectors. It's simple...

As for laptops, their connector is not always marked with a color: often the headphone or microphone icon is simply drawn. By the way, please note that on newer laptops - it occurs headset jack(see Fig. 4). Those. If there are 2 classic audio outputs, then when you are dealing with the headset jack, there is 1 (it has a characteristic icon, see the difference in Fig. 4)!

If you have classic computer headphones, and your laptop has just such a headset jack installed, you have several outputs:

1. buy a special adapter (see Fig. 6). It is not expensive and is sold in many computer stores;
2. buy a small audio card that connects to a USB port (there are also cheap options);
3. you can buy new headset headphones (or swap with someone ☻);
4. if you don't need a microphone, you can try connecting the green plug from the headphones to the headset jack. In most cases, headphones will work for you (although this is not recommended!).

By the way, please note that the plug on headset headphones has 4 pins (the plug on classic headphones has 3 pins). Even by this sign you can easily determine what kind of headphones you are buying...

One more moment!

Expensive (most often studio) headphones have a Jack plug (on classic headphones Mini Jack). If you don’t have a Jack connector on your computer/laptop, you can buy a small adapter from Jack to Mini Jack (see Fig. 7) and easily use these “ears”...

Rice. 7. Plugs (Jack and Mini-Jack). Adapter

If you have one line output for headphones and speakers

Sometimes people ask me what to do if you need to connect both headphones and speakers to the computer, but it has only one line output (i.e. one audio jack) on the back wall of the system unit. I'll try to give a couple of recommendations on this matter.

1. Use audio output on speakers

Many speakers have special audio jacks for connecting headphones. When you connect headphones to them, the sound from the speakers will disappear. It may not be very convenient if the plug accidentally comes out of the socket (especially if it happens in the evening when everyone is sleeping ☻). Therefore, see the second option.

2. Buy a splitter (special adapter)

You can connect speakers and headphones in parallel to the audio connector (splitter, see screenshot below). Using a splitter, in my opinion, has its advantages:

• the sound goes to both speakers and headphones at the same time;
• if you don't need speakers, just turn them off (this way, even if the headphone plug falls out of the socket, there will be no noise from the speakers!);
• the price of the issue is a pittance...

3. Use the front panel on the system unit

On some system units, on the front panel, there are additional multimedia connectors (if there is no such panel, you can also get one; many service centers easily connect it). Actually, you can easily connect headphones and a microphone to such a socket (and many other useful things ☻).

Checking drivers for an audio card

We will assume that we have dealt with the plugs and connectors directly, the “wires” are now connected ☻. The next step is to check and configure the drivers. And I must say that drivers sometimes cause quite a lot of problems with sound. Most often, there are simply no drivers, or they are not installed. current version, causing conflicts.

To see if the system has a driver for your audio card, open device Manager (to do this, press the WIN+R button combination and enter the command devmgmt.msc).

Rice. 8. How to open the device manager // WIN + R (Run window).

Rice. 9. Sound, gaming and video devices

If the yellow light is on next to your device Exclamation point- this means there is no driver in the system. By the way, usually those devices for which there are no drivers are located in the "Other devices" .

Rice. 10. There is no driver for the audio device! Needs to be updated!

Setting up Windows and audio driver. No sound in headphones

If the headphone plug is connected correctly (to the correct connector), the drivers are installed, you should already have sound (even if it’s not of very high quality yet). If you have no sound at all, I also recommend that you read this article:

First thing to do- This is to check the volume control on the headphones themselves. Such a regulator is found on most computer ears (see Fig. 11).

Rice. 11. Turn the microphone on/off; increase/decrease volume

Then pay attention to the volume level: click on the sound icon in the tray. Often such a banal thing is the reason for the lack of sound ☻...

After this, I recommend that you also check the volume mixer (it is quite possible that you have the volume turned down in specific application). To open it, just click right click mouse over the sound icon in the tray, in the menu that appears, select "Volume Mixer", as in Fig. 13.

In the screenshot of the volume mixer in Fig. 14, for example, decreased system sounds(more precisely, even disabled). For initial testing and setup, I recommend moving all the sliders higher.

After that, open the panel Windows management chapter "Equipment and Sound"(valid for Windows 7/8/10). In this section, open the “Sound” tab, see fig. 15.

In it, be sure to check that there is a green tick- i.e. it was selected by default!

Note: The default device for sound playback can be selected by Windows, which is generally disabled! And then there will be no sound! If you don’t know which device to set as the default for sound playback, try each one in turn, after turning on some song/movie...

To check the sound quality - select required device: Right-click on it and select “Check” from the menu. A short melody should sound first from one speaker, then from the second.

One more thing!

Don't forget to check and set the sound settings in your audio drivers. You can open their settings using the tray icon (next to the clock, if there is an icon there), or in the control panel in the section "Equipment and Sound", as in Fig. 17.

Actually, the driver setup itself will depend on specific manufacturer. It is quite difficult to give any specific recommendations here...

An example of such fine tuning of headphones is shown in Fig. 18: you can turn down the volume of the left or right ear, set the volume of the headphones and microphone, check the operation of the audio connectors, set the desired sound effect and much more...

Microphone check

Your interlocutor hears you poorly (or does not hear you at all), there is extraneous noise, hissing, etc. “charms” - and other problems may be due to the fact that fine tuning microphone in Windows and the conversation application you use (Skype, Viber, etc.).

In Windows, you can configure the microphone in the "Sound" tab (you can open it in the Control Panel, in the "Hardware and Sound" section). To set basic parameters, open the microphone properties, see fig. 19.

In general, I recently had an article on my blog about checking and setting up a microphone in Windows, so I won’t repeat it here (link to the article below).

How to check the microphone on headphones (it’s hard to hear me...) -

PS: additions in the comments are welcome...

Well, that’s all, quick and successful setup everyone.

Instructions

Make sure what you purchase headphones are supplied with a communication device (adapter) connected to computer. Depending on the type of receiver installed in headphones, the adapter should also work differently - some of the headphones use an infrared channel to receive data, others use a radio frequency channel, others are configured according to Bluetooth standards. Therefore, it is highly advisable that the adapter the right type would be in the purchased kit, and would not have to be selected separately, at the risk of buying incompatible device. However, note that many laptops have built-in Bluetooth adapters - in this case, you do not need an adapter for Bluetooth headphones.

Connect the adapter to the appropriate connector on your computer. If you intend to use the built-in Bluetooth adapter, this step should be skipped. External adapters are usually connected to a USB port, and the operating system recognizes each newly connected USB device and, if necessary, installs a driver for it from its own database. If for some reason the OS cannot do this, a corresponding message will appear in the taskbar notification area. In this case, you will need to install it yourself required driver.

Use the software disc included with the headphones to manual installation driver - insert it into the reader optical disks and select the appropriate item from the menu that appears. Then follow the Driver Installation Wizard. If for some reason there is no driver disk, you can usually find it on the website of the manufacturer of your headphone model. In this case, the corresponding file must be downloaded, unzipped if necessary, and then run the driver installation wizard.

Install the batteries into the headphone case and turn it on, if the corresponding switch is provided in your headphone model. This may be enough to start using them. If it's Bluetooth headphones, you may need to put them into discovery mode. When working with your computer's built-in Bluetooth adapter, if it has not been used before, you may need to turn it on mechanical switch on the body.

Using headphones has many advantages. Firstly, a person wearing headphones does not bother anyone with sounds from the speakers. And secondly, a person wearing headphones can be distracted from environment and focus on your business. It’s worth figuring out how to connect headphones to a computer.

Attention to headphones

Majority modern headphones, with which people listen to music from MP3 players, have a plug with a diameter of 3.5 mm. This plug diameter is the most common in the world. These are the headphones that can be connected to a computer, namely to its sound card. Before you try to connect them to it, you need to make sure you have a sound card. Just look at the back of the computer, where the wires are connected - if there is a block of 4-6 connectors for 3.5 mm headphones, then sound card There is. And if speakers were previously connected to the computer, then questions about the presence of a sound card disappear.

Methods for connecting headphones

Firstly, through the plug. There shouldn't be any practical problems with this, as long as the headphone cord is long enough. If there are no 3.5 mm connectors on the front panel of the system unit, then it will be difficult to cope with the task; you will have to look for a special extension cord.

Secondly, through the speakers. Many of them have connectors of the appropriate diameter, including older models. This is the most reliable and safe way headphone connections. Safe because many budget headphones cannot withstand the voltage from the sound card if they were connected directly to it, behind the computer. This leads to malfunctions of both the sound card and headphones. Therefore, before buying headphones, you should ask a consultant whether they are suitable for connecting to a sound card.

The third way to connect headphones to a computer is bluetooth. In this case, both the headphones and the computer must be equipped with Bluetooth adapters. This method connection has a number of advantages, the main one of which is the ability to not depend on the length of the headphone cord. But there are pitfalls here. The first is the battery life of the headphones. Do not forget that they will have to be constantly recharged. The second is their high cost. If a person wants to have Bluetooth headphones with high sound quality, he will have to be prepared to spend money.

Nuances

The first of them is a headphone jack on the back of the system unit. There are at least 4 of them, and all of them are 3.5 mm. A green connector is required. It is by default intended for connecting audio equipment, speakers, and headphones.

The second is the quality of the headphones themselves. There is a misconception that their sound quality depends on where they are connected. Good headphones have low resistance and a wide range of frequencies covered. Such headphones, both wired and wireless, will reproduce sound well both on the player and on the computer.

The third is the quality of the computer's sound card. If a person is a music lover who wants to enjoy good music on the computer, then no matter how cool his headphones are, good sound he can't achieve this with a cheap, built-in sound card. In order for the sound quality to be at least acceptable, you will need an external, plug-in sound card. Compared with other computer peripheral devices, the cost of such a card will be about 1000 rubles.

It is not always possible to use the included speakers. It is especially problematic to turn on music at full volume in the evening and at night. So that your household can sleep peacefully, and you can peacefully listen to your favorite performers, connect headphones.

If you insert the USB transmitter into an open port on the device and set the switch to the "ON" position, you will not hear any sound from the device. This is due to the fact that the system does not recognize the device. To correctly recognize headphones, you need the appropriate software. Let's take a closer look at connecting to a computer.

Insert the software disc into the drive. This disc you can find headphones included in the package. When the system reads the information from the disk, a dialog box will be launched to install the necessary software.

PC preparation

Before proceeding with the connection, you should prepare your computer. The fact is that if we talk about laptops, smartphones, tablets and so on, then in such devices, in the vast majority of cases, the wireless communication module is already built-in (read how to connect wireless headphones to a laptop). But a desktop PC is not equipped with such equipment. It can be connected separately.

Therefore, first of all, you should connect it to your computer. bluetooth adapter. Typically it is inserted into USB port. Driver disk included.

You can also find the necessary software on the Internet. To do this, you need to know the exact model of the device. You can check whether the equipment is installed in the Device Manager, which opens as follows.

Press the key combination Start+R. In the window that appears, write devmgmt.msc and click “Ok”. This service displays all components that are installed on the PC, including wireless adapters.

It is worth noting that sometimes the module may be hidden in the “Network adapters” branch.

After connecting the equipment and installing the driver in the system tray (lower right corner of the desktop Windows desktop) the corresponding icon should appear. If you right-click on it, a control menu will appear.

It's worth noting that to control the adapter you can set special utility, for example, BlueSoleil.

This universal program, which allows you to easily and simply control the adapter. Thanks to it, connecting Bluetooth headphones to desktop computer it gets even easier. So, the drivers and utilities are installed, now you can proceed to setting up the connection.

Connecting wireless headphones to PC

Usually, how to connect and configure Bluetooth headphones on a computer is described in detail in the instructions that come with the equipment. However, often users simply lose it. So, we have a prepared PC.

Now press and hold the power button on the headphones until the light starts flashing red and blue (sometimes green and red). It happens that the headphones do not turn on. Don't worry, they are not broken, but most likely just discharged. How to charge wireless bluetooth headphones you can find out . If the indicator on the headset flashes, press bluetooth icon in the tray, right-click and select “Add device”.

At the next stage, you will be offered three options for further action:

• Generate verification password.
• Enter the device code.
• Do not check.

Select the second option, then enter the key - 0000. Next, follow the instructions on the screen.

As a rule, when a user sees a headset with overhead ear pads in front of him, he subconsciously places slightly higher demands on it. I would like such a headset to allow me not only to chat via Skype carefree, but also to enjoy soundtrack to games and films, and ideally also to listen (and not just hear) music. For a certain amount of thousands of rubles, it’s quite possible to get all this. And even then - only on the condition that we are dealing with a wired headset. But is it possible to make such demands on a wireless headset, and one that costs only a little over two thousand rubles? The answer is obvious - if possible, then only to a certain extent, being aware of the fact that the target audience universal inexpensive device wants to get a headset for every day, and not monitor headphones for immersion in classical music. It was with this approach that we began to study the new wireless headset from SVEN, which came to our test laboratory. The SVEN AP-B770MV model is positioned by the manufacturer as a long-lasting universal headset with high degree noise insulation that works with any devices on board bluetooth module.

⇡ Delivery set

Packaging of the SVEN AP-B770MV headset

The headset comes in a fairly large cardboard box traditional for SVEN white with a large blue cross that migrated there from the Finnish flag. The box has a transparent blister, behind which the headset itself is visible.

SVEN AP-B770MV headset delivery set

Inside, in addition to the device itself, we found only a USB cable for charging the built-in battery and a printed user manual in Russian. Unfortunately, the manufacturer did not include a carrying case for the headset. The delivery set does not include a power adapter for charging the built-in battery from the electrical network.

⇡ Technical specifications

* According to Yandex.Market data for December 24, 2014.

Unfortunately, the manufacturer provides in the official table technical characteristics not far full information about your product. For example, it lacks important information such as the type of speakers, the maximum power level, and even the type of built-in battery. But the operating frequency ranges and sensitivity are clearly described, as well as a complete list of connection protocols. According to it, we have a modern stereo headset that connects to almost any smartphone, tablet or Bluetooth USB adapter that works with any of the popular profiles today, such as HSP, HFP, A2DP for transmitting a stereo signal and AVRCP for managing tracks. SVEN AP-B770MV does not have a cable connection interface at all, so if the headset battery runs out, you need to connect it somehow alternative way it won't work.

⇡ Appearance and ergonomics

Appearance headsets SVEN AP-B770MV

The headset is available in a single color – black. All the main elements of the body are made of matte, unremarkable plastic. But the outer surfaces of the cups, on the contrary, attract attention with their somewhat unusual multifaceted shape, most reminiscent of a turtle shell. The word Turtle in the name would have suited this headset, but the manufacturer decided to limit itself to an abstract alphanumeric code.

Headband

Sliding headband mechanism

The cups themselves, their holders and all the main parts of the headband are made of plastic, with the exception of the internal sliding mechanism, which is based on a steel plate. The guides on it are also plastic, but there is no need to worry about the reliability of the design - everything is done conscientiously. The headband itself is covered with soft artificial leather with filling for comfortable wearing.

Cups turned to the maximum angle in one direction and the other

The cup holders, although made of plastic, also look quite durable. They allow the cups to deviate by an angle of about 45°, and they themselves additionally rotate in one direction by 15°, and in the other by 90°, which makes it possible to significantly reduce the dimensions of the headset during transportation. The latter circumstance is partially compensated by the fact that the design of the SVEN AP-B770MV does not provide for a folding headband mechanism.

Controls and Interfaces

The cups themselves look quite massive. At the bottom they have three narrow buttons for controlling power, sound volume and playback. On the left cup there is an additional rather large metal mesh, behind which the microphone is hidden, and on the right there is a MiniUSB port covered with a rubber plug. The latter is intended exclusively for charging the built-in battery.

The ear pads of the SVEN AP-B770MV cannot be replaced, although the soft parts can be removed. They almost completely cover the ears when worn and almost do not exert any serious pressure on the head due to the well-chosen density of the filler, covered, like the headband, with soft leatherette. True, it practically does not breathe, but it is pleasant to the touch.

In general, the quality of the headset even surprised us a little. All moving elements move smoothly, without squeaks or jams, the fasteners are installed neatly, and the design of the headset itself indicates its relatively high impact resistance. And only a simple design and not the most high quality The plastic in this device gives away its price tag.

⇡ Working with a headset and sound quality

To establish the first connection with a particular device, you need to press and hold the power button on the headset for five seconds. In this case, the headphones will not just turn on, but go into search mode. The headset is connected to the Bluetooth adapter in just one or two seconds, after which the device is ready for use. We tested the headset when connected to ASUS laptop ZENBOOK UX51 and smartphone Samsung GALAXY S3. The range of action with line of sight is really close to the stated ten meters. In the apartment, the headset worked perfectly even when the sound source was separated from it by an interior wall. No distortions were noted.

The headset easily copes with switching between conversation modes and music playback. To accept incoming call, you need to press the power button. Using the same button you can repeat the last outgoing call or put the phone and headset into mode voice dialing. The management of played tracks is also traditionally arranged.

Particularly worth noting is the feeling of wearing the SVEN AP-B770MV. The purely subjective comfort you experience from wearing this headset is, as they say, not worth the money. If a person unfamiliar with the device is asked to close his eyes and, putting this headset on his head, is forced to name its estimated cost, then the indicated figure will probably be higher than what it actually is. It's all about the almost perfect geometry of the case, movable cups and well-chosen filling for the ear pads and headband. It’s simple to say, but not every manufacturer can achieve this, and especially not in the same price category, in which our guest today is positioned. The ear pads almost completely cover the ears and have absolutely no negative impact on them. The same applies to the headband, which precisely adjusts to your head. All this allows you to wear the headset without interruption all day long. At the same time, of course, your ears will sweat a little, but, alas, there is no escape from this drawback.

But the ease of control of the SVEN AP-B770MV, on the contrary, does not stand up to criticism. The narrow long rows of buttons are completely impossible to recognize by touch. As a result, you often press the power button instead of the volume down button or pause the playing track instead of skipping to the next one. And the placement of the buttons at the bottom of the cups also cannot be called a good decision— they are very inconvenient to press.

The microphone sensitivity level is quite high. When talking in complete silence, the microphone transmits your voice without the slightest distortion, but as soon as there is a little external noise, your interlocutor already has to listen attentively to your speech - the microphone is broad-directional, that is, it listens not only to you, but also to everything that is happening around. The situation is especially sad with the quality of voice transmission on the street - here external noise can completely drown out your speech.

The noise isolation of the SVEN AP-B770MV is not ideal, but most external noise is successfully damped. Some noise is completely muffled, and some is muffled to a comfortable level. Of course, if you put this headset on your head and plunge into the capital's subway at rush hour, the external noise and din will not disappear as if by magic magic wand, but the difference in its volume and saturation with and without headphones is clearly felt. At the same time, the people around you will not listen to your music with you. You don’t have to worry about this, since the headset, when put on your head, releases almost no sound.

As for the sound quality, the headset did not give us any special surprises. The quality of music playback turned out to be quite expected, quite high (within the genre of inexpensive Bluetooth headsets) level. No noise or sound distortion was noted. Otherwise, the picture is well known to many users of inexpensive headphones: enhanced bass and insufficiently clear mids and high frequencies. In addition, the sound did not seem very bright to us. When changing headphones to the wireless analog Philips SHB4000, I got the feeling that some kind of “film” was removed between the ear and the ear pads, which muffled the sound. In general, the SVEN AP-B770MV deserves a solid “good” for its sound quality. This headset is quite suitable for listening to different genres of music on the road or at work. At the same time, in terms of sound quality, it can easily be compared with most wired models costing up to two thousand rubles.

The manufacturer claims that in playback mode the headset should work continuously for 22 hours. In practice, at an average (comfortable) sound volume, the device lasted 18 hours 13 minutes. Less than promised, but the result is still impressive. If you use the headset only occasionally (for example, on the way to work), then you won’t have to charge it for a whole week. Well, for long journeys the SVEN AP-B770MV can generally be called an ideal option. If you remember to pre-charge the device, then you definitely won’t need to look for an outlet at the airport.

⇡ Conclusions

The SVEN AP-B770MV headset is a product that is definitely worth the money spent. For less than three thousand rubles the user receives wireless model with the sound quality of wired headphones for a little less or even the same amount. The advantages of SVEN AP-B770MV include:

• clean, smooth sound without distortion,
• high quality workmanship,
• unusually high level of wearing comfort,
• good level of sound insulation,
• long battery life.

But there was a fly in the ointment - the headset has a couple of drawbacks:
