I bought these earbuds along with 4 other pairs, with the intent of comparing them over a couple weeks and returning all but my favorite. Here were the results:Beats Fit Pro - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09JL65GNM?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_detailsPros – These buds had some great base, and the wingtip gave them a fit that made them refuse to fall out of my ears. But the best feature? Physical “clicky” buttons on each one of the buds. You press in and hear/feel the click, rather than relying on a touchscreen-like feature. No need to guess if you tapped them once or twice, you will know.Cons – The wingtip gives a very sturdy fit, but not the most comfortable. I wouldn’t recommend to anyone with smaller ears. The noise canceling was solid, but nothing special. And this may be picky, but I didn’t care for most of the color schemes available. I prefer my earbuds to be hard to notice, and even the black ones have a bright red letter “b” in the middle.Beats Studio Buds - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B096SV8SJG?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_detailsPros – Very comfortable with the same great physically “clicky” buttons as the Beats Fit Pro. Noise canceling seemed slightly better than average. Great base. Classic look.Cons – Tested during a workout, a little bit of sweat had these sliding right out of my ear. The case for these earbuds also was the flimsiest of any I had tested, with a very weak hinge that I was scared of breaking off within the 2 weeks of using.Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08MWZHHKP?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_detailsPros – A neat feature that I noticed only in these earbuds was that it had noise amplification as well as noise cancelation. With one swipe in the app, the surrounding sound was actually louder and clearer than it would be without the earbuds in. Great if you are hard of hearing, or just enjoy snooping on conversations out of reach.Cons – Similar to the Beats Studio Buds, these didn’t stay in during a workout. They were usable, but every 10 minutes I found myself pushing them back into my ear. And this is an opinion, but these are the ugliest earbuds out of the bunch. The shiny black gleam made it look like a large beetle was hanging out in my ear. No visible brand placement either, which makes them appear cheap and generic rather than the quality Samsung they are.Samsung Galaxy Buds Live - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09TBM1L3S?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_detailsPros – Cost effective! I added these to the test group because of the unique shape, and for that they are worth giving a try. If you have small ears and do not like the rubber insert that is standard in most other earbuds, these may be perfect for you.Cons – Poor fit for large ears. These were tested the least of all of the buds, because the fit was so bad for my ear shape that they wouldn’t stay in if I turned my head too fast.Bose QuietComfort - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08C4KWM9T?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_detailsPros – Bose noise canceling is unmatched. If your primary use for earbuds is to cancel out that background white noise, this is the pair for you. The sound quality is great, not too heavy on the base. The case for the earbuds stood out from the rest as the only one that impressed me. Felt very study, and I had no worries tossing it into a gym bag or cup holder. The only case with a button latch to make sure it doesn’t open accidentally.Cons – This was the most expensive pair of earbuds by a longshot, and there were still some things I felt could be improved. The rubber inserts had more of a “flayed” shape rather than the “rounded” shape that is standard. My guess is that this was by design, because the earbuds were also slightly heavier than others and may need that extra in-ear grip. The flayed shape did make them sturdier, but at the cost of them being uncomfortable in an active situation. They were also the largest earbuds, and stuck out from the side of my head further than I would have liked.My favorite? The beats fit pro! While I wouldn’t recommend this pair for everyone, it was perfect for my routine. My music taste benefits from the boosted base, and the wingtip shape was perfect for any workouts. The feature that really convinced me was the physical buttons, something that I didn’t realize how desperately I needed.

I already have the Polysync - 10 so I was extremely interested in what exactly would be the noticeable improvements in the new enlarged model Polysync-20.To begin I would say it is the sound quality. Robust and full. Probably a larger speaker, maybe even an oval which would be kind of reminiscent of the fine sounding radios of past and present, such as Grundig and Blauplunct.Both radios were noted for their fine rich full bass when receiving an audiophile type FM station.That of course is ancient history in electronics but I needed to mention it to highlight my surprise and satisfaction with the audio on the Polysync 20. Both the 10 and this one, the 20 have really great audio but the former is, I believe a dominant leader for fullness of sound.Really quite amazing sound from such a small device. It is like having a miniature sound bar. After testing testing I left it in place as the sound output for a 1 1/2 inch cube computer that I used for testing. The RAM and processors are not overly large so I felt it was closer to what most consumers would have to be used with the Polysync. Certainly better than grabbing my 5220 headset. It is a speakerphone. We would expect that it is great for telephone calls and it is. Skype, Zoom etc. fit into the mixture.Just one device. for full audio communication. No feedback, no distortion just great calling advantages. It is always there for you and it is always found. In fact the Poly devices. It is important to know that Poly represents the joining of the companies Polycom and Plantronics. Your Poly device will be right on top in the Windows selection on a reboot of a system.Windows 10 and 11 love Polysync.The second great feature is the ability of the device to pair with more than one device.For instance. Turn it on, after a proprietary charging, press Bluetooth and it will pair with your phone and your computer. It is nice to have such dual connectivity and to have it simultaneously with doing little more than turning the device on. It cannot get any better than that. Computer and Phone is really a perfect combination for me and probably for you as well. Of course you can opt for any combination and there is a strong suggestion from this reviewer and the manufacturer of the product to download the software that will entreat you to all of the features of this Wonderful Wizard of Plantronic.It is really nice to have a fully portable device, truly wireless. The battery life is really good but should you get nervous about the prompt that the battery is low after many hours of continuous use, then simply keep it plugged in to a USB port or compatible 5 v. charger. I am not sure about the battery design but It might be a better plan to conserve overall life of the battery to wait on charging until it does tell you that it is really low like maybe...Smack Dab Otta Juice! Some experts might suggest that but opting for a different way to express or describe the condition. (:-)))) READ the branded manual. It is clear, easy to understand. The book says that it takes about four hours for a full charge. Since I did not know the battery level or percentage when the unit arrive I gave it the aforementioned proprietary charge of about two hours and decided that amount of time would be sufficient for evaluating and testing.https://btpi.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Sync20-User-Guide.pdfO find the HUB a useful tool so you will want to download that as well. All will make Poly a great and very lasting experience for you as it has for me.There are many features that you will use and love. Lots of good stuff on line that has Plantronics brand.Good old company that is not just cutting edge but a reliable cut above the competition.I have made light of the good stuff that I noticed right away.The things that were noticeably different from my Polysync 10.Sound quality, music and phone calls. All wonderful.Ease of setup. Amazing pairing and Windows near tribute to the device by devoted recognition as a output, input hardware.All good.Battery, Portability, Wireless if you choose.Larger in physical size but still small enough to slip in a purse, bag, or inner pocket of a business suit coat.I don't recommend that because it could spoil the tailored cut and line of your suit if you care and pay attention to how you look.I believe those are the main points that you care about. Maybe if I add that in my book it is the best that will mean something too. I am giving it a full big full FIVE STARS. It is a winner all the way.

Klipsch announced some new upcoming speakers recently and the Groove is the first in their new lineup.So far it doesn't seem to be available outside the US and as I am based in Europe I had to order it overseas to have a listen to it. I know both GiG and KMC-1 well so I was curious to hear how the Groove held up against those.Let me tell you that it is definitely an impressive piece of engineering with a very skillful tuned sound for high fidelity. It doesn't have any artificial boosts or frequency emphasis like JBL or Bose tend to apply to their speakers thus it might compare a bit "boring" when put directly against those. But the Groove is definitely the much more honest speaker. Bass reaches nicely deep for a speaker of that size, you get clean response down to 60hz, but Klipsch doesn't apply any low-cut, so you will even get much deeper frequencies when they are contained within a song, and with careful positioning closer to a wall etc, you really will hear the lowest kicks missing from most other small speakers.Unlike the KMC-1 which tended to sound quite a bit tinny at low levels, the Groove manages a nicely full-bodied sound even at lowest levels, but for my taste this goes at the expense of treble, it sounds too muddy at low listening levels, it got get along with a bit of treble boost at lowest loundess settings, here simply the human ear is to blame as it becomes less sensitive for high and low frequencies at low levels, and while Klipsch seems to compensate for low frequencies with a slight boost, it doesn't do anything for treble.At higher levels bass gets reduced and the Groove can play really loud, louder than most contenders, but it starts to distort during the latest volume steps. Bring it down some notches and it will be about as loud as the RIVA S while the RIVA S will still sound cleaner with no distortion at all. I compared both back and forth a lot and for being 100 bucks less expensive the Groove really does a great job, it has similarly powerful bass, but better mids presence, although I prefer the smoother treble of the RIVA S, nevertheless the Groove is just a simple mono speaker, the RIVA manages a much more spacial sound overall, maybe not true left/right separation but you will simply hear the music floating around the speaker with the RIVA S, while with the Groove it always sounds as if it was coming from a single point source. Why Klipsch didn't even consider adding True Wireless Pairing to this speaker, remains a mystery. 300$ for a wireless stereo system like that could be still reasonable and you would get a much better sound than from any of those UE-toys, which can all be paired for stereo.I also miss synced volume control between speaker and player, but you can leave the Groove at maximum and simply control volume from your streaming device, it doesn't affect the sound or add any additional hiss.The overall design may appear a bit weird, but it has some looks and could even be mistaken for some rear speaker of a 5.1 surround setup, it is just that the buttons are hard to recognize at dark conditions, you can't really feel any of them. It would have helped if there was some backlighting at least for the volume or play button, which btw can also act as skipping button (2 presses skips forward, 3 presses skips back).I really welcome the ability to disable the embarrassing rock-like status tones. You can simply turn them off completely by keeping the "Aux"-button pressed for some seconds, kudos for that, as so many companies still ingnore this and add some stupid awkward and much too loud tones to most of their speakers: "chakaboom"!If you are into Hifi and not so much into boosted artificial sound, you should check out the Klipsch Groove, as it reminds me a bit of a mini Hifi-system and makes all UE offerings so far sound really poor. Many may prefer the overly sculpted sound of Bose or JBL, but anyone longing for fidelity will love the Groove. The only thing I am missing is stereo pairing with another, and I cannot quite accept the distortion at high levels, but at least it plays louder than most others still without any compression or dynamics processing.The Groove gives quite a rugged impression and is also IPX4 rated, so it should do well outdoors without any problems, If you don't mind mono sound and can live with a bit of distortion at highest levels, I think it will be hard to find anything better at this size. A pity no carrying bag or any way to mount the speaker with some loop or carabiner is included, but it is quite a heavy device so it may be not that comfortable having it hanging around from your belt or similar.A great first for Klipsch and makes me even more curious to hear the upcoming new speakers!

OK, so you have a bundle of joy on the way. CONGRATS!! You are now trying to figure out what to do to monitor the little bugger, yes? Well, let me help!The Miku is the system you should purchase. There are others, but they are either under-featured or over-gimmicky.It's not perfect. In fact, there's some things that really irritate about it, but it does its general job very well.GOOD - Fairly quality camera. Shoots night vision very well, color does okay. Connects to WIFI without much trouble (you do need a 2.4mhz band, which you probably have, but some day that might be phased out). It transmits audio and video to your device anywhere, which is nice if you have to walk a long way to your mailbox. The app also does a great job of recording video of movement events (it appears they have this going back to when I installed it, which you typically have to pay for in home monitoring) and the actual color graph of sleep/movement/awake is really accurate and helpful. You can "talk" through it, take pictures, have ambient noises, and generally always watch your baby.BAD - You might need proprietary equipment to have it in more than one place. They sell a stand-up stand and cord, but they were out of it around Christmas time and it was waaaaay too expensive for a cord. They also have some features that DO NOT WORK. And those features can really give you the idea that this thing doesn't work well. For instance- breathing tracking. It doesn't work. It shows an EKG graph when no one is in the crib! That's really, really bad. The associated alerts and alarms for lack of movement DO NOT WORK. Turn them off, they will just give you white hair. Finally, it's a bit tricky to share the feed on multiple devices- you have to create a code for them from deep in the app, then transfer that code to additional devices. Not terribly intuitive, but we solved it within a few minutes.OK, with that out of the way, here's what you've got: A great baby monitor that streams to your phone. This means you have to have either your regular phone or an older one (I use an older one) plugged in by the bed. It can also transmit sound if you turn your screen off, which is nice to have it in your pocket.What you don't have is a magical device that analyses your baby's chest to measure its breathing and heart beat. IT SHOULD NEVER CLAIM TO DO THIS. We almost sent it back when we saw how poorly these features worked. But the alternative is another gimmicky device where you have your baby wear a special sleep sack or sock. If this is your first child that sounds alright, but trust me- you will NOT be able or willing to put that on after every single 3-hour-interval feeding or changing. It just isn't practical and you won't use it (after that first week when you feel obligated to).So, with that stuff out of the way, the Miku does great job at just transmitting video and audio to your phone. The app has some cool analytics and some excellent historical video (you'll want to know how she got upside down or left-right at some point, and the auto video recordings will solve those little mysteries).It's a bit expensive. It has features that they should immediately delete and forget about (unless they can program them correctly). They want to nickel-and-dime you if you want to take it on vacation or have a second location (I set up another cord in the bedroom for that first month, and just transferred the camera head to where she's sleeping that night). But it does its job and it does it well. If you have that spare phone or two (we have on on the couch almost always on monitor), this is the unit you should get.4 out of 5 points for Ravenclaw.

 è la prima action cam che acquisto anche se ho avuto modo per lavoro di fare riprese con alcune go pro di amici.Il pacco arriva ricco di accessori e in una scatola che già lascia trasparire al cura dei dettagli.La CAM è compatta, in plastica antiscivolo e molto carina!Custodia per immersioni bella compatta e con una guarnizione che da ottime rassicurazioni.L'app è funzionale anche se meno pratica di quella della go pro, mentre quella di quest'ultima consente di scegliere il tipo di video o foto da realizzare quella COOAU è solo un bottone per avviare foto o video ma se time laps, scoppio ecc le devi impostare direttamente sulla camera.Le riprese sono fluide anche in 4k, le foto 20MB una bomba, a me piace molto l'effetto occhio di pesce nei video. 2 Batterie e la possibilità di utilizzarla con una power bank la rende praticamente adatta a tutte le situazioni per cui mi serve (lezioni, video di allenamenti, time laps)è la prima cam che acquisto e la utilizzerò per lavoro in ambito sportivo ma penso proprio che sia un prodotto azzeccato alla situazione e anche il microfono esterno è perfetto per spiegare gli esercizi su video liveps: la qualità del video è migliore rispetto a quello caricato... non so perchè sia stato ridotto!?!

Prime impressioni per questa action cam arrivata da pochi giorni.E' veramente semplice ed intuitiva. Ricchissima di accessori per affrontare ogni situazione.Sono rimasto stupito dalle dimensioni ridottissime.L'ho acquistata soprattutto per eseguire time lapse e documentare il mio lavoro ma penso che mi darà ricche soddisfazioni anche nel tempo libero. Mia figlia (8 anni) ne è affascinata e già minaccia di impossessarsene!Pur avendo eseguito solo poche prove e simulazioni, devo dire che sono rimasto stupito dall'elevata qualità delle sue prestazioni. Pare forse soffrire un po' a bassi livelli di illuminazione ma per il mio utilizzo non rilevo particolari problemi.Ho apprezzato molto l'ampio grandangolo che, sebbene deformi alquanto le immagini, mi permette di acquisire un campo molto esteso degli ambienti interni di dimensione limitatissima in cui spesso mi trovo a lavorare.Fondamentale la seconda batteria che permette di fronteggiare una intensa sessione d'uso.Notevole l'app che permette di vedere sul cellulare l'inquadratura della camera e scaricare video e foto; ho letto in alcune recensioni che a qualcuno a dato problemi; mi riservo quindi di testarne più approfonditamente il funzionamento.Tra i vari accessori cito il bel guscio impermeabile per l'impiego sott'acqua di cui al momento ho verificare l'efficacia solo sotto il doccia! Sembra tuttavia di ottima qualità così come tutti gli altri accessori in dotazione.Ultima nota sul prezzo: eccezionale per la qualità offerta.Acquisto consigliato!

For the price, I'm very happy with this lighting set. Everything arrived in working order, it's easy to set up and the bright white lighting gives me more professional looking photographs whether I'm taking pictures of people or objects with my phone or digital camera.Stands: I can quickly adjust the height and angle of the stands so I can focus the light where I want it. The taller stands are good for portraits and I like the shortest stand if I need a quick photo of an object and need some better light. All the stands are lightweight and portable.Lighting: The clear, white light from this set creates better photographs. If I take photos without this set and I don't have ideal light, my photos tend to look shadowy or have a gray or yellow cast. This is a big improvement.Quality: The quality is pretty good. I've had this set for about a year and a half and everything still works, including the bulbs. One time I tripped on a cord and one stand tipped, so an umbrella spoke got bent, but that's about it. The set isn't made for rugged conditions, but seems fine for basic home use for things like portraits or taking photos of products, etc. I plan to get a 

LimoStudio 45-Watt Photo CFL Full Spectrum Light Bulb by LimoStudio, AGG1758









 to have on hand for when one goes out.Overall Opinion: My photos look clear, bright and professional using this lighting set. It's quick to set up, take down and comes with a couple storage bags to store the stands, umbrellas, bulbs and attachments when they're not in use. I think this set is worth the money for the average person who wants an affordable lighting set to improve the quality of their photographs and to be able to take well-lit photos no matter what lighting conditions they have to work with.

Pros:-Las opciones de grabación son geniales. A mí me convencieron los 1080p a 120 fps.-El precio es genial. Su equivalente en GoPro cuesta casi el doble que esta cámara, y las opciones de grabación son las mismas, prácticamente.-La App es bastante simple de usar, rápida, sin mayor complicación.Contras:-El material que lo recubre no lo siento tan resiste. Recomiendo adquirir un protector de aluminio, para que éste pueda absorber el impacto de algún accidente, como una caída.-No incluye nada. todos los accesorios se adquieren por separado y la mayoría son enviado desde China El tiempo de entrega es tardado y cuando no, el precio es elevado . De entrada necesitarás un frame para que se pueda montar en soportes tipo GoPro. Ya con este, podrás usar accesorios genéricos para GoPro, y de esa manera ahorrar algo de dinero.Conclusión:Vale la pena, la recomiendo mucho. Sí buscabas las posibilidades de la Hero 5 Black pero te pareció muy costosa, creo que está cámara es la indicada para ti.*Actualización:Grabando a 1080 a 60 lazó un error: "Camera busy". Cuando sucede esto la cámara ya no responde ni para apagarse. Tuve que extraer la batería para reiniciar de manera forzada la cámara. Ya contacté a Yi para que me orienten sobre este error.*Actualización 2021:Me parece que la App fue descontinuada así como la fabricación de las cámaras. Hasta ahora me está funcionando bien, aunque ya no la uso como antes.
