 As usual, the package arrived very quickly from Amazon.This Earbay Rose Gold Wireless On-Ear Bluetooth Headset with Moveable Microphone came in a cardboard box. When I opened the box, as well as the headset there was a USB-A to Micro USB Charging Cable (which is not good, why not USB-C), and a User Manual, you can see the unboxing in my video.Before ordering it I was a bit dubious, will it be too heavy, will I have a problem connecting it to my phone every time I want to make a phone call, I was wrong on both counts. I found it very easy to pair with my phone and it’s light compared to my over ear headset, once set up I tried it on; I found the ear cushions and headband very soft and comfortable to wear, but I haven’t worn them for more than a couple of hours at a time.Next I made a call, when the person answered I could hear them very clearly and they could hear me clearly, they said they couldn’t hear any background noise, even thought there was a little. I found it very easy to use the volume controls, you don’t have to go through a sequence of button pushes or taps as on the earbuds I had be using, there are dedicated volume + and volume – buttons which are quite easy to find, the power switch is on the side of the earpiece, just press and hold it for approximately 4 seconds and you will hear “power on, connected” then release, then you just make the call.If you are listening to music or radio and a call comes in it stops the music/radio and connects the call, when the call ends, the music starts playing again. I especially like how easy it is to mute a call by pressing the mute button on the outside of the microphone, after just a bit of practice I found the headset very easy to use.While listening to music, I found the sound to be totally acceptable, which I didn’t expect from an ‘Office Headset’ so that was a bonus.Also, I found if I place my phone in the hallway in the middle of my house while wearing the headset, I can walk to every part of my house and the call/music didn’t break up.My overall opinion of the headset is its very comfortable, the build quality is very good, it’s easy to use, the sound is very clear on calls, and I don’t have to carry my phone around with me when I’m on a call, and sometimes I have to make very long calls.At the time of writing this review the price is £42.99, but at the moment there is a £10 discount voucher bringing the price down to £32.99 which I personally think is a little expensive, if you do a quick search you can find very similar ones cheaper, mind you I am writing this in Black Friday week. .The squares on the table I use when photographing and videoing items are 1cm squares, you can use them to help you judge the size of items I photograph.I hope you have found this review and video helpful.

I'm a middle-aged white guy. I'm not attractive or well-endowed enough for pron, but I am always looking for new and better ways to get FPS views of work on cars and computers in my YouTube videos. This is a fairly good option, with some limitations.As far as cheap cameras go, this is a cut above average but nowhere near as good as a top-shelf camera like my DJI Pocket 2. Like most cheap sensors, it works best in good lighting (especially daylight). In lower light like crummy motel rooms or cheap office spaces with dark-colored faux-leather couches, colors will start to shift and look bad unless external lighting is used. All cheap cameras with tiny sensors share this trait. In good light, it works well but not great. Again, like most cheap cameras, the microphone is an atrocity. There are no provisions for an external microphone, so be ready to use an external recording device and use the "clap trick" (not that kind of clap) to align your video and audio in post.Besides camera performance, you get a lot of features for your money with this camera and that's why I gave it 5 stars. It's too cheap to take off a star for the aforementioned video and audio performance, as the price sets the bar pretty low. The wrist remote is particularly handy if making shots that get unpleasant substances on your hands and you don't want to risk getting anything gross on the camera controls or lens. The app works great and doesn't demand any unusual permissions for it to collect data for transfer back to China, besides storage. The headband is a little stiff (the HEADBAND) but adjustable and comfortable enough for a few hours of use if you can last that long. Those with a larger head may find it kind of tight. I also keep my head shaved and it caused a little bit of minor irritation when sweat combined with friction, but it didn't move around too much due to skin being slippery when wet. People with hair will undoubtedly not have this problem. Finding the spot to turn it on (THE CAMERA) required some experience, but the (rechargeable) battery-operated device in your hand helps with that part. The woman whispering in your ear as you operate it is nearly inaudible. Just stay on top of your button-presses and the signals. You'll know what to do next. With enough practice, it will come naturally.My biggest issue is that I wear spectacles, and I couldn't get the edge of them out of the shot without making the headband uncomfortable or completely boning the aim. If your shots involve activities that are normally conducted without glasses (except maybe the other subjects in especially niche shots) this also won't be an issue for you.With some creativity, there are lots of great uses for this camera besides the intended/unstated one. It won't get good audio, but the video is fine with enough lighting. Just be sure that you can get by without your glasses.

Well, that headline didn't exactly roll off the tongue, did it?I am struck, however, by how MUCH the manufacturer opted to squeeze into this small child shoebox sized device!There are speakers on the front, and on the sides. There is a handle on the top, and a slot to rest your phone. It has an FM radio/antenna. It accepts a 1/8" cable for headphones, it has a microphone jack (karaoke-level, maybe), a USB slot, a card reader, a large volume knob, remote control and control panel on the unit itself.Whew!It wouldn't Bluetooth pair with my phone at first, but paired with a laptop, and then also with a couple of other devices, and finally later it DID pair with my phone. So, good! It puts out a surprising amount of volume for a small speaker, and having the woofer pointed front and tweeters pointed to the sides provides for an interesting audio experience. If you are close to it, where you are sitting/standing will determine what it sounds like, for this reason. One tip: Max out the volume on your sending device, and then play with the volume knob on the speaker, or the remote.So, I really like this for giving sound reinforcement when watching a movie on a laptop, and for music it produces a decent enough sound, considering what it is, for prolonged listening.I did not test the microphone input, nor the USB/card slot. I can't imagine too many people are going to play music off a thumb drive or card, but it's possible. It's also possible you might prefer a direct USB plug-in to the speaker from your device. The Bluetooth people would be mad at you, of course, but it's possible.My biggest complaint about this unit is that it both tries to do too much, and it tries to pack all of its options into a small, awkward cluster of buttons that all do different things depending on how long you press them for, or how often. I think that either they need to cut down on the number of features (FM radio and card reader would be the first to go, I would vote), or upgrade the display/keypad. Just tuning from one side of the radio dial to another was a needlessly frustrating experience.Also, the provided documentation was insufficient, and featured a particularly troublesome English language translation.My favorite thing about this whole experience is the image on the Amazon page that says Rock Music, Classical Music, Jazz Music, Popular Music, and...... NORMAL MUSIC. Hooray for normal music!. ...and the associated photos, which are awesome. Romanian folk dancers are country music! Yes!! Another picture suggest using the unit for Square Dancing and appears to feature 3 dude break-dancing.This kind of stuff is par for the course for all the products flooding here from China.Nonetheless, the Bluetooth speaker feature is a great reason to get this speaker. The advertising suggests the unit could play music for 10 hours at 60% volume before it needs charging. If I am ever in the same place where I want music for 10 hours straight, I'm going to test this out eventually. Break-dancing party?

Update:I was contacted by customer support as a result of what I had to say. That was a definite positive as they want to make my experience one that will keep me as a customer....and we will see. They are sending me a replacement unit and we will see if it behaves as it should. So for now...this product is a 3.5/5 and customer service has definitely been a 10.So I will preface this with I wanted to return it. My issues are that I need to be able to use the external microphone and have the internal one turned off. Current config-- it uses both and for my application all I get is tons of wind noise. The other is the remote needs to be paired each and every time you turn on the camera. For me it should be like the Brave 4 4k and not require pairing...just ready to go. Lad then with the skeleton holder...the touchscreen becomes unresponsive for whatever reason.Now, I did contact Akaso and they have been responsive to my inquiries. They asked questions about serial numbers, etc and as it stands after three times back and forth....they have sent me a firmware update. As to what it is going to do for the camera....I am not sure but I hope it addresses my concerns.Otherwise, the picture is good and I like the overall design except I wish there was a light on the face of it that let me know it was recording. The remote has a light that is interactive, but I am one of those people that likes to know it is on and working right on the camera.Once I update the firmware...I will see what happens with everything. If it addresses my concerns then I will definitely give it 5-stars.

They are great! I'll still give you a few comments on my experience so far.Positive: -I had QuietConfort 15 for years, I still got them but another family member now uses them). They were great but each time the bus was going over a pothole the audio disconnected with a loud sound and came back a second later. This new model does not have this problem.-They are quite confortable.-They sound decent enough!-The noise canceling is great.-I had no problem syncing it with my phone (Samsung A5 2016).-They look quite better than the QC15.Less positive:-They do not grip firmly on your head (at least on mine) so if you move around a lot (for instance doing household chores) you'll feel them move around (and even start to fall...).-The Voice Assistant button is annoying. I don't use the feature and always end up touching it by mistake.-I'd rather have real buttons instead of touch control...The microphone is crap. If I get a call, I quickly close the headphones and answer directly on the phone.-The start up and close sounds are annoying. They should probably be less musical...-Why not use standard headphones wires? Would it really break the design?-Would be nice to be able to get signal from two different devices and blend them (for instance playing a game on my Switch and listen to a podcast at the same time).All that being said, it's a great product, I do not regret buying it.

For the last couple of years I have used an older 'name brand' webcam that's worked well enough but it needs a lot of light or the image becomes very grainy. I didn't want to spend a lot on a new one and the IMISES version is priced quite affordably for what you're getting.This review is for the "4k with microphone" version.The good news is that it's totally plug-n-play on both computers I tested it with.It recognizes it as a webcam, you select the camera in the conferencing software for video/audio as you wish and there it goes.The camera has a usb-c cable and a very nicely fitting usb-a adapter for the more ubiquitous USB ports that most folks are familiar with (I didn't even notice it until I saw "type c" written on the cable and decided to try to pull it apart) so that's good future proofing and flexibility for you.Just FYI mine did not come with a tripod, which is fine because I wasn't expecting one but another review mentioned theirs did so just pointing that out. Maybe it was a different order package though.The image quality is fine for basic business use, it definitely does better than my older cam as you can see in the comparison photos (this was early afternoon with indirect light through blinds on the windows).Be aware that there's some image smoothing going on as well, which is fine for me as it's not making it too blurry but just be aware that it's not going to be razor sharp images like a pro video or something.Also it doesn't come with software, which in my opinion is really a good thing here since you don't need it for the device and nobody wants some additional unknown software just to make a camera work. Good on them for just going with hardware. If you're doing something semi-professional you probably already know what other webcast/streaming software you'll need.The "privacy" cover is just an optional hinged plastic cover with some adhesive tape on the back that you can decide whether to install or not.Due to the design (a small circular post goes a few mm into a hole) this thing is almost impossible to open if you close it all the way. The whole cover is flat and there is no way to get a grip around it (its about the size and flatness of a US nickel).I'm not installing it for my use as I'll unplug the cam when not using it but you might want to file down the post if you find it sticking shut or hard to open.The version I got has the video and the microphone but no speaker, however the overall size is the same as ones with a speaker and so that makes it a fairly large package for what it is.This is less of an issue if you get the one with a speaker for teleconferencing as there's no 'wasted space' inside but then the price-to-value proposition isn't as favorable in my opinion.So for what I'm using it for, overall it's a decent webcam that's not too expensive and does what you need it to do.

Got this mic cause our old V30 Lite cable started to break a little bit. Thought we might as well upgrade to a better mic and we were not disappointed. Most of our filming is indoors but our HVAC system is so loud we also have a NAS and other electrical equipment that create a hum in the background so the low lifter on this mic was super appealing.I originally didn't know how I felt about the 2xAAA batteries being required (not included) but I think it should be fine. I haven't had it long enough to have it die on me, but i suppose that's a good thing since it hasn't died yet lol. It is slightly larger than the V30 lite so if you've ever been told to stop vlogging cause ur setup looks too professional you might run into that issue with this one but the quality is worth it.It weighs next to nothing is pretty slick (I chose the black on black) and comes with a wind muff. Albeit it is slightly difficult to take the wind muff on and off as it sometimes pulls the regular thing off. But you honestly can't beat the quality for the price.I also had no idea it had a +10dB option and is very loud, I don't need to use that but it's pretty powerful to have that option. Other than that it's a great microphone and couldn't recommend it enough.

(IF YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE READING MUCH, SKIP TO THE NUMBERED LIST) I purchased this microphone with high hopes (and low funds). I did what you are doing, reading all the reveiws, possibly looking up videos of this mic. I expected this thing to be about the size of a gift card because I knew that it was small. I received my package a day earlier than it was supposed to be here, opened the carefully packaged product, and saw a sleek little box there that I was so excited to open. I was so excited! Then my hopes were all broken. Let me tell you why:-This mic is about half the size of a credit card. I instantly had it in my mind to return this mic. It HAD to be a joke.Anyway, I set it up... and nearly thought I was dreaming.PROS/ACCESSORIES1. It has a jack on the side for headphones so that you can monitor your own voice with no lag or latency.2. It has an LED light indicating whether or not the mic is "clipping."3. The clarity in the voice is absolutely phenominal. It could hear everything! Even things I wouldn't naturally hear.4. This microphone perfectly picks up acoustic guitar. I would steer clear if you are looking for a mic to record electric guitar or drums (shakers & tambourines are fine)5. It is compact and mobile. It comes with a carrying case.6. You also get complimentary recording software.7. It is simple! Just plug and play.8. Very affordable as far as condenser mics go. Top notch quality at this price.9. Can clip on to flat screens.10. Three handy settings on the side for cardioid (straight on), cardioid-10db (for close-up speaking on one side), omnidirectional (records 360 degrees).CONS1. The stand is sturdy, but a bit too light. When you plug in your USB cord, it weighs it down and drags it. This can be easily fixed with a simple weight or a clamp.2. The stand can only clamp on to certain things because it does not open very far.3. I had a hard time finding a real mic stand to properly fit in the bottom hole on the stand already attached to the mic. However, I found a video on Youtube that shows how a guy made a Go Mic stand out of a guitar stand.4. This mic is NOT for recording drums or electric guitar or really anything with extremely high volume in close proximity.Now, don't let those cons pull you away from this mic. This is a steal at its price and you don't need to buy a mixer or extra cables and such. It is all here. The stand that it comes with is made of all metal (but it feels light). This is such a small mic, but it picks up everything if you want it to. I am a musician so I record songs and do voiceovers and such and this is absolutely perfect. Reliable company and a stud of an item. I look to buy more Samson products in the future now and I really urge you to at least give it a chance. You will be shocked at this beast. It is also great for podcasts/interviews
