Great conference bar
Anker calls this a "Video Bar". I call it a conference bar. It does it all. It's your microphone, your speaker, and your camera, all in one. And it's not like other cameras where these functions are an afterthought. The sound from the dual speakers isn't going to blow your mind, but it's great for conferences. The microphones do a great job of picking up my voice wherever I am in my office so I can be heard. While a 2K camera isn't going to set the world on fire, and it's not the best 2K camera in the world, it's great at capturing you, even in the dark with the help of the light bar. Closing the light bar disconnects the camera functionality so it doesn't just present a black screen to your participants, but rather just disconnects the video. And what's really great about this, is you can continue to use the speaker and mic for conference with the camera off.But it's not perfect, unfortunately.The light bar is only really useful in a very dim room. If you have even a moderate amount of light, the bar is not bright enough to even contribute. Additionally, the color temp of the bar is not all that configurable, as you only get 4 settings, and 3 of them are pretty far in the cool range of white, with the last option being very warm.Because this bar has a lot going on, it needs extra power help. USB-C is capable of delivering all the power it needs, but you have to choose power or data. To do both one cable requires a thunderbolt connection. To keep compatibility broad, Anker chose two USB-C connections, one for data and one dedicated for power. The power connection does NOT need to occupy a port on your computer, though!As much smarts as Anker put into the bar, including with audio processing, they did not equip it with any room echo dampening. You might have to depend on third party software to take care of this if you haven't treated your environment with sound deadening panels. Modern Asus computers (at least in the ROG line) have something that helps. If you have a modern Nvidia RTX GPU, there's a tool for you from Nvidia. Otherwise, you can use something like Krisp, or perhaps your conferencing tool has something built-in (Discord has Krisp built-in, but with the room echo filter disabled).Lastly, this thing is big. This is not for your laptop. If you want to use it with your laptop without a full size monitor, get a desktop tripod and use the built-in tripod mount. It's big and heavy. It has to be to fit the speakers, power, big camera and lens element, etc.It's expensive. I got in on the pre-release discount offer, which brought it below $200. There are other webcams out there that go for around this price that are far less capable. I don't just mean without the other conferencing features, but also in video quality. For the price, you're getting a really solid package.

Que demander de plus ?
Mille mercis pour votre message. Je ne manquerai pas de vous contacter si j'ai le moindre soucis avec votre caméra.Pour l'instant, je n'ai aucun problème. Je suis très satisfait de votre produit que je ne comparerai pas avec les gopro, qui ne sont pas du tout les mêmes caméras et pas du tout au même tarif. Vous proposez une caméra correcte avec tous ses accessoires à un prix très concurrentiel, merci pour ça.Je cherchais une caméra qui fasse office de dashcam pour mes ballades en moto et pas besoin d'une gopro à 450 euros (sans aucun accessoires d'ailleurs, faut rajouter 200 euros pour atteindre le niveau d'accessoires que vous proposez avec votre ga420... C'est fou !).Pour 100 euros, vous nous proposez une caméra avec une stabilisation correcte, une autonomie correcte, une qualité d'image très correcte, une interface hyper simple et la cerise sur le gâteau, un microphone et une 2ème batterie ! C'est tout simplement du jamais vu.Je possède également 2 vraies gopro et votre ga420.Bien évidemment que c'est un peu meilleur chez gopro mais quand on ramène la qualité au tarif que vous proposez pour votre ga420, c'est juste incroyable.Il faut arrêter de comparer une gopro à 600 euros (à accessoires égaux) avec votre ga420 à 100 euros...Vous avez développé ici un très bon produit au rapport qualité prix indiscutable.Petit bémol, il aurait été royal de fournir un chargeur de batterie. En effet, c'est assez contraignant de devoir charger ses batteries dans la caméra.Ensuite, grâce à la vis 1/4 de pouce sous la caméra, il est possible de filmer sans le boîtier étanche, ça, c'est super! Mais du coup, la lentille est exposée aux cailloux ou insectes... Il serait excellent que vous développiez des protections rondes pour protéger la lentille de la caméra ou un cache qui s'emboiterait par dessus la lentille.Sinon, excellent produit ! Vous êtes sur la bonne voie !Et surtout n'essayez pas d'atteindre le niveau de qualité des gopro parce que vos tarifs augmenteraient et ça deviendrait moins intéressant pour nous.Les caméras wolfang ga420 ont tout d'une grande pour 100 euros, c'est tout à fait ce que beaucoup de monde recherche.Encore merci !

Wireless Ear-Buds for the iPhone and Android with
Notice: This product was received at no charge as part of the Amazon Vine program but this is an unbiased review.The Wireless Ear-Buds from SIXTHGU for the iPhone and Android sound good and fit fairly well. They’re very light, and for the most part are comfortable in the ear. They have three different sizes of ear tips, I found the small was best for my ears.Setup was simple, it paired immediately via Bluetooth with my iPhone, my desktop Mac, and my Smart TV (at separate times, it won’t pair two different sources at the same time, so pick one or the other). When you turn the ear-buds on you’ll get a voice prompt as to when it’s connected.The sound quality is very good, and there is excellent stereo separation between the two sides. There is deep rich base and the midrange and high tones are clear and crisp. There is only the slightest bit of a tinny sound at some high notes, but not at all bad. The sound is much better than other ear-buds I have, especially the old wired Apple ear-buds. These are a major improvement over those.The noise cancellation is good, background noise is diminished, but not completely eliminated like you might get in over the ear noise cancelling headphones. But in a location with moderate noise like a coffee shop, they’ll do fine.The control buttons on the top of the stem next to the ear select the different modes, pause/play, the volume, and to answer phone calls. The controls are very touchy, probably too touchy. The slightest touch will change the setting, you brush over the spot with your finger and it actives, so even trying to get them seated in your ear will set them off. Both sides will control the music player, with the right side increasing the volume and the left decreases the volume by holding your touch.The phone microphone seems to work well, calls are intelligible and background noise is controlled with the noise cancellation, but the over-sensitive buttons do make it hard to control the phone.There is a small charging and carrying case. On the case is a red/green indicator light to let you know when it’s charging. The case is sturdy plastic with what looks like a metal hinge on the back and it closes magnetically, however it’s not a tight hold. You’ll have to be careful just throwing them into a bag as the lid will open up with not much effort. You charge with the included short USB to USB-C cable. A real bonus would have been wireless charging since other similar products in this price range have that option, but it’s not available here.The Bluetooth reception is strong, you can move all around your house and it keeps its connection. I was able to go outside down the drive to the mailbox and the music continued to play. The battery life is listed at 5 hours of playtime, I played music for over 2 hours and it kept its charge.All in all, the sound is very good but 1 star down for lack of wireless charging and the very touchy controls, they’re useable but they make these otherwise fine ear-buds a little hard to control.4 stars

Quite an upgrade to the Marshall major III!
After testing these out. These are my final thoughts.I was really surprised to see that this supported a wooping 80+ of playtime. This is by far the best feature I have had on any headphones. By Max, I have seen headphones Support 40hrs of playtime but this goes on another level. Testing these out, I wad able to get around 65+ of playtime since I had it on full sound volume when used outside; I've used this environment to test out sound and microphone quality. Compared to its predecessor which is the marshall III (3) it supported only 60hrs of battery life which is still good compared to any of the headphones, so to give this much playtime is a huge step up for marshall. So in terms of play time, this is good.Moreover, in terms of sound quality, I found them quite fascinating since they were good but wouldn't call the the greatest as I was able to hear the background sound which I didn't really like, so it doesn't support ANC; yet if the environment isn't that loud, you can get away with the background sound, it all depends on the environment and space but sound quality is good and gives nice bass which is nice. In terms of mic quality, I wouldn't call myself a fan of these as it is alright but I expected better. The caller would capture a lot of background sound and would cause very loud sound and it wouldn't capture my voice but a little to the extent where they can hear. So mic quality isn't the best but still does the job.In regards to comfortability, the upgraded cusions on these headphones have been a very nice upgrade actually. They fit well just about on my ears and the cusions sealed really comfortably onto my ears and not causing so much heat overtime but still did. I liked the upgrade and it adjusted well on my head and a bonus thing to know is that these headphones fold and support wireless charging compared to its predecessor which didn't support any of these functions; this is a nice step-up. These do feel a lot more comfortable to its predecessor due to the new cusions. However, heat does produce overtime but not so much and since I have sensitive ears, I would take them out and relax and put them on again and this could entirely be subjective as these could be used longer with other people. So comfort is also nice and have no major complaint here. In terms of sheerness, it does fold very nicely and can bend very Decently at this stage, so sheerness is quite good also.Overall, these Marshall Major IV (4) have been a very nice upgrade to the Marshall major III (3) in terms of comfort, battery life as well as the engineering to it such as it can be foldable now and Support wireless charging. So it supports quite more features then it did with the predecessor. I would say, they have played a right move and have made very good headphones as well. So I would definitely recommend these even despite the price due to its features and functions.

Big sound for a small speaker, and it's packed wit
Started to do a lot more biking with the family during COVID, and decided to look for a speaker that could be mounted to the bike rather than bringing one in a backpack. After reading the feature specs of this this little guy, it was exactly what I was looking for so I decided to give it a try.Without going into all the technical specs, here's a summary of the good, the bad, and the ugly...The good:Relatively small footprint at 4" x 4" x 1.4" (10cm x 10cm x 3.5cm).Rubber strap secures easily to handle bars and can be mounted to many other things.Volume control and track buttons are thoughtfully placed on the top face for easy access.Uses one of the more recent Bluetooth versions (v5.0)The 42mm 9 watt speaker pumps out more than enough volume.Can pair one speaker to two different devices simultaneously.Can memorize pairing with up to eight devices.Supports "Party Mode" where you can link TWO Tribit Stormbox's for Stereo sound.USB-C charging port.8 hour playback (depending on volume) is sufficient for most who are biking/running/jogging/walking.IP67 Rating means it's both dustproof and waterproofThe Bad:The sound only comes out of the top face (not 360°), and there is some distortion at max volume."Party Mode" isn't really linking two Tribit's to one device for stereo sound, rather it's daisy-chained from device to Tribit 1 to Tribit 2. This greatly diminishes bluetooth range (the second tribit can not wander too far from the first Tribit).There's no 3.5mm port on this speaker (Bluetooth connection only).Only supports standard SBC Codec (does not support AptX or AAC).Although it's fully submersible in water (IP67 Rated), the unit doesn't float.The Ugly:Cannot charge this device using a USB-C to USB-C cable. You must use a USB-C to USB-A.Despite the USB-C charging port, it only charges at 5V @ 1.1A, so it takes about 3.5hrs to fully charge.The microphone is terrible, Siri and Alexa issues even at 12" away.Overall, if you're looking for a portable Bluetooth speaker that's versatile and sounds good, then the Tribit StormBox Micro is definitely one that should be on your short list. The build quality, design, and feature set (particularly the IP67 dustproof and waterproof rating, the rugged design with the mounting strap, and the ability to pair to multiple devices simultaneously with "Party Mode") outshines much of the competition out there. While it does also have it's downfalls (sound clarity at max volume for me), I feel that the pros outweigh the cons here. RRP is priced higher than I'd like it to be, but it's feature packed and the overall sound quality and design is good. It's a versatile little speaker that you can easily take with you on the go. No regrets so far, they've made my family bike rides much more enjoyable!

Love it .. and so does the rest of the family. can
II was most surprised when i opened the box...this tiny little cube was going to do something ???.. ( see the attached photos to see how this cute little guy ))OH BOY .. does it..............This tiny little action camera... has a lot to go for it..First thing that I checked was how big of a SD card could it hold... Now nothing is more disappointing then activating a action camera and you set out for a bike ride or road trip on you motor bike and the camera doesn't have enough space to record the whole trip....Well this is not going to be a problem w this camera.. as it can handle up to a 128 gig card !!second there are a lot of attachments available so this little camera can attach to your motorcycle helmet or the hoover board helmet or a dashboard mount to record your road trip.. and w a little clever set up you attach this to any metal surface .. as the camera has a built in magnet on the bottom...Third .. how easy is it ot activate and stop ?... well does ONE BUTTON do it for you ?... yup one button activation and your ready to record some amazing action shots.Fourth. It is water proof and shock proof.. YUP that little tiny camera can take a beating .Fifth.. Battery life..........well one charge will get you about One hr and 1/2 of recording time....... and if you want MORE time .. bring along a little portable charger that you chg your cell phone and your all set for LONGER recording.Sixth... It has wifi..built in.....The literature states it has Wi-Fi (range 30ft.).Now I have not tested it that far but it did work over at least 15 feet from the camera......and there a an APP.. to use to transfer the videos etc...............ALSO the app allows you to activate the app and turn your phone or tablet into a viewfinder and shutter remote from up to 30 feet away. Some fun things to try is to do a Features i time delay, photo burst, time lapse ( this is fun )) slow motion camera settings With the app you can; viewing, editing, save, printing and sharing photos on Face book or etc....Which makes it fun AFTER you take all the neat photos...received this product free in exchange for my honest unbiased opinion. and we LOVE it ..ps it even has a MICROPHONE so you can capture the sounds of the action you recorded.... ( worked much better after the upgrade )Now I would suspect you will get the most out of this camera if you buy additional mounts... so be aware of that but over all this is a LOT of FUN.. We had fun recording the kids bike riding.. and it was even interesting to see one of the recording of a short run.... by one of the adults. but we will be buying some of the mounts so we can attach to the helmets etc..I Love it .. and so does the rest in the family. ... We can't wait to take it to Busch Gardens and ride the roller coasters.. It should be a blast...and we will be able to enjoy the day for a long time through these videos..

Affordable headset with some nice features
These headphones came in a nice small box with a variety of cable and dongle add-ons for its many different ways of connecting to your devices. That is one feature I liked a lot, the fact that it not only had wired and bluetooth connectivity, but a unique third method using a USB 2.4Ghz connection.Pulling the product out of the box the first thing I noticed was how light it was. The material it is made is plastic, and not a heavy duty feeling plastic at that. This is the main reason I have concerns over longevitity of the product. It may prove me wrong, but historically lighter plastic products have tended not to last in my household.The padding for the eats and top of head are standard foam and it is comfortable to wear. This is my first fully over the hear style headphones and I like how comfortable they are to wear.From a comestic standpoint, I feel these headphones look great. A lot of detail was put into them, with patterned fabric for all areas that use it. It looks sleek and not to "loud" like some other gamer headsets try to be.When first connecting the headphone to my PC I had a minor issue that I worked through. The instructions said it should start in bluetooth mode, but mine turned on in 2.4Ghz mode. Luckily the instructions explain how to switch between the modes and the headphones have a voice that tells you what mode it is currently set to when it switches. The voice also announces the status of the microphone when muted or unmuted. I like this, but I do wish there was a way to turn it off because it replaces any audio you are listening to for a few seconds.Speaking of the mic, in my tests the sound was decent. I used it for some conference calls and asked how the quality was and everyone said it was great. It is nice that you can pull it out or push it back into the headphones and although it doesn't push entirely inside when not using it, it is not obstructive in anyway.Sound quality is one area I'm still on the fence about. The headphones are LOUD. I had to turn my volume way down compared to other headsets I have used. I don't know if this is a function of being over the ears, but I was surprised at the volume that they output. The sound quality is acceptable. Some audio like in conference calls can be tinny though. I feel like quality wise for dialogue they could be better at this price range. When listenin to music I thought it sounded much better, with good base sounds as well. Gaming it was again acceptable. I play some games where surround sound works well for tracking enemies, and although these will help let you know if something is to your left or right, they do not have full surround sound. I tested using some surround sound test videos off youtube and the digital stereo functionality of these headsets work, but only for general left or right directions.Overall I think these are some decent headphones which I'll get some good use out of. There are some questions on overall quality but for the price it seems fitting to me.

A nice little web cam.
This Nexigo camera came very well packaged,What's in the box?Nexigo 1080p camera.Remote control.1 privacy magnet to go on camera.1 manual.This product is fantastic it has very nice build quality, the camera feels very sturdy and robust, so it should easily survive a few tumbles if you knock it off your screen.Once I plugged it in, I downloaded all the latest drivers from the Nexigo website.Once installed I opened the Nexigo software to test the camera quality.Great news! The clarity of the picture Is amazing. And within the software, the camera's fps is reporting at a steady 60fps.There are 2 settings within the software, 50hz & 60hz.The camera looks very stylish and modern in its design, & with its built in ring light was genius idea.So I love this feature.But, I did not know how to turn this ring light on, as it doesn't properly state this in the manual, and it needs to be added to make this fully clear.There is a sensor on the light, and the only way I could get it to come on, was to touch the silver round button above the microphone symbol, that's printed on the camera.I will upload an image, & draw a red ring around the thing I touch, to get the ring light to come on.If you keep tapping this, the brightness will increase.Now on with the software cause it needs some work.I had quite a lot of crashes and glitches with the software freezing and not responding.Maybe this was my computer or maybe it wasn't. So the software may need some optimisation.The Camera softwares settings are as follows.Brightness slider.Contrast slider.Hue slider.Saturation slider.White balance slider.Gamma slider.Back light compensation.Gain slider.I would've liked to have seen a ring light setting to turn the ring light on/off as at present you can't do this within the software, or on the remote.It would've been nice if you can set the ring light at a specific light level.So maybe they can add this in the future.And maybe you could add a button to the remote so you can turn the ring light on /off remotely rather than tapping on the camera.So, my remote has a few issues, now I'm not sure if it's the remote or the software.Every button on my remote works apart from the pan and tilt function.All the zoom works, mic button, mirror flip works, brightness works, but no pan and tilt, even when I'm zoomed in like the manual states.So maybe the buttons faulty on the remote, or it could be the software who knows. But without a pan and tilt slider within the settings I can not test this feature. So this really needs to be added too.Overall this is a fantastic camera, the build quality is fantastic, the picture is fantastic & it has a good frame rate,The camera has a lot of nice features, such as the ring light, privacy magnet, comes with a remote, it looks nice, has a very good mounting system, so it grips screens very well.Do I recommend this camera absolutely, but it needs a few improvements, that can easily be implemented.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
