What kind of technique should be special for women? That's right, beautiful. At least most of the ladies would agree with that statement. By the way, an attractive appearance does not prevent the devices to be useful and practical. We’ve got in our hands the designing SVEN FANCY acoustics and SVEN AP BLONDE Headset – it is pink speaker, designed similar to the flowers, and headsets for the most glamorous persons. It is noteworthy that this is not just fun gadgets; it is working devices, cope with its work - to make life more musical and assist in communication.


SVEN FANCY is unusual miniature speaker that can get the main highlight of the interior. It should be noted that the device not only comes in silver and pink colors, but also in the red version - then it looks also unusual, but not so feminine, but rather - boldly and original. (The model is considered not only for a female audience).


Headset SVEN AP BLONDE, in it’s turn, is an excellent continuation of the theme of pink devices "for blondes", to which SVEN time to time adds something new from. Pink headphones with white, fluffy rim and a velvet headband, plus inlaid with crystals-hearts - well, this is just the essence of glamour. Readers may remember the pink keyboard "for blondes" – lets note, this model would be a great addition to it.
As always, when we speak about everything unusual, let’s add that such models can be a wonderful gift - a beautiful and useful at the same time. Both devices, by the way, perfectly complement each other. The headsets are especially women's version, but the speaker, depending on color, suits for the stronger sex.

SVEN FANCY

The SVEN FANCY speaker came to us in elegant pink box. Only looking the photos on pack front side we can immediately suggest that we are waiting for an unusual device. However, despite this background, we are still surprised after unpacking it.


Inside there were very unusual pink satellites with the movable metal legs, the Warranty card and the short Manual, a couple of pieces of thick double sided tape and butterfly-magnet (like the ones that someone hang on the fridge). An inexperienced user may not have guessed in the first few seconds that this is speaker system. So to make readers not think that it's just decoration for the interior, we give the device specifications. They are not unserious as you might think at first.

Design and construction


If you want to surprise someone with the appearance of your speaker, buy SVEN FANCY. Design of this speaker system is extremely unusual, but stylish and successful. Speaker is somewhat similar to the unusual flowers in hi-tech style.
The flexible metal leg-«stalk» is mounted to the base, the round satellite covered with metal round diffuser is mounted at the end of this leg. butterfly-magnet just underlines the similarity of speaker and flowers. The glossy plastic, metal; simple and at the same time very unusual design - it all looks very easy, original, bright and spectacular. We even felt sorry that we have only in two colors of the device - red and pink.


Let us look closer to the speaker. Satellite is small, in its front part there is a metal diffuser - all this things in the future will affect the sound. The device is done with high quality plastic, there is no feeling of fragility, but on the contrary, it seems very sturdy.
The satellite switches, wheel for volume control, activity indicator are based on the stand, and a handy little thing like a headphone jack is also here. The speaker’s charging is provided with USB-port, so it is ideal for use with your laptop.


The metal satellite pin departs from the base, it can easily be fixed at any desired position (the great thing that in this case the satellite does not outweigh), you can turn the sound in the desired direction, zoom in or move, turn up the speaker. It is worth paying attention to the fact that SVEN FANCY is very light and compact, you can easily move it, put into the smallest corner on the table, throw to bag, and take to the journey.



By the way, the producer says the speaker have an additional mounting. Although, everyone can afford to organize this "mounting" - it is simply double sided tape, on which you can stick to anything the base of satellites. But the point here is not even an adhesive tape, the main thing is that the construction is original not only because of it’s design, ,but it also allows, if you want, to hook speaker anywhere and in any plane - even to the wall, even to the ceiling.
The design of SVEN FANCY is memorable and able to decorate your workplace, and even to become an interesting accent to the interior. Moreover, in practice such an unusual decision proved to be extremely comfortable. We must underline it has its obvious advantages.


Using


The speaker are powerful enough in spite of small size (as it possible for powerful speaker charged with USB); of course, it is not enough for great party, but it is quite able to full the music your workplace and even a small room. It is very convenient that you can change the direction of the sound easily and flexibly (as far as the leg of the speaker bends).
A pretty wide range is announced by producer. In fact, the speaker are the best for middle frequencies; it sounds perfect bright and cold. In general the sound is enough musical. The speaker is powerful enough for movies and games, and suitable for listening to music.


Conclusion


It is worth noting that SVEN FANCY stands over compared with other compact speaker of similar price and size. It pleases that it has pretty bright sound and great volume. Some design features give to SVEN FANCY additional advantage in terms of convenience.



We have already said enough about an interesting design, so there is no reason to repeat it - everything you see on the photos, but we recall once again about the compactness and the possibility to use it in conjunction with the laptop.

Design and construction


The headphones look very nice: silver-pink, plush, shiny, with white fur, fluff, and with crystals. The case of this headset is made of the same glossy plastic as the speaker. The arc, with which the headphones are attached to the head, is plastic too, but it is covered with plush and relaxed with foam. There are no ugly wires sticking out - all of it is neatly covered with pink cords.


The size of the headband you can adjust by yourself changing the position relative to the arc headphones because the mountings are floating. The junction of headphones and the headband on both sides are decorated with crystals in hearts shape. By the way, it is worth noting the important fact that the headset is comfortable in size either for adults or for children.
The headphones cups have soft, but fairly dense foam embouchure inside, covered by the same pink plush. They are pretty good on the head; the ears are not under pressure.


Outside in one headphone (it doesn’t mind, left or right, because the headphones are symmetric) mobile and flexible metal «stalk» is fixed. At its end there is a «drop» of a microphone, covered with pink foam. It is worth noting that such a microphone holder is very, very useful in practice - you can choose the most optimal position. The basis is fixed mobile and rotates nearly 180 degrees, so you can throw the microphone back in moments when it is not used, not to interfere. There is nothing interesting in the second headphone, only calligraphic inscription "Blonde" - apparently as a symbol of goods are intended solely for blondes (externally or by internal conviction).


The place of the wire and headphones junction is protected, increasing the useful life. The wire is pink; 40 centimeters away from the headphones on it there is a convenient scroll wheel for volume control. The cable is double; at the end of it there are two plugs on the 3.5 mm - for headphones and microphone.


As for design, it is clear, you see in the pictures. He is only "girlish". At first it seems that such a device you can only give the young lady, but in fact the author of this article knows a lot of adults who also would be delighted with it. Speaking about construction, it is simple, but it is clear that a producer approached it carelessly - the device has made friendly. I liked the solution with a mobile and flexible mounting for the microphone, so it would be worth to equip with it all the "serious" looking headsets.

Using

The headphones fit on your head are comfortable that is important for continuous use. The soundproofing is average, so the user will not be cut off from the outside world after wear a headset: he will hear what happened in the room. The headphones pleased me with low noise level and fairly bright sound. The devise is good for communication, but no one deny you to listen to music too. The same story as with the speaker that we tested earlier is with high and low frequencies: the mid-frequency range is best played. But headphones are quite applicable with movies and games, where nuance is not too critical.


Conclusion

The SVEN AP BLONDE is attractive primarily for its original appearance. For potential owners, this is the fair sex of all ages (especially this device would be appropriate for young ladies), after all, the beauty is generally important characteristic.

I pleased to note that the headset at the same time is quite good from the technical side. The device is convenient; it can be useful not only for voice communication with Skype, but also for listening to music. (The words of Skype remind me an idea that girls may perceive the headset not only as a communication tool, but at the same time as an ornament to be worn in front of the camera. So the first thing they can do after unpacking the gifts is to run not to the computer, but to the mirror.) The price of SVEN AP BLONDE is slightly more than $ 20 that is quite inexpensive for device with such an unusual appearance.
