As of this review, I have had these headphones for a little over 2 months. I bought the G533s because, simply put, they were cheaper than the G933s and I couldn't see any appreciable difference in actual performance. It may lack some of the functionalities of the G933s, but for my needs, all those functions seemed superfluous. Plus, I kind of like the minimalist styling of these.-Battery lasts 15 hours and is luckily replaceable if you have these for awhile. Charges via micro USB. In actual usage, I do find 15 hours a little short (yes, groan at my first world problems). No, I'm not using all 15 hours in one sitting, but allow me to put this in perspective. The G533s need to be plugged in and turned on to read the battery life. My G403 mouse has a 30 hour battery and I can read the battery life even when it is unplugged. The battery life on the G403 is so long such that I am virtually carefree of it. I can charge it once a week pretty much. The G533s may not last through a particularly lazy weekend unless you remember to charge it around periods of heavy usage. I end up checking it about every other day just to make sure the battery is topped off just so I won't have them die on me in the middle of something. You can use them while charging if you have a long enough cable. You can probably get away with being less paranoid.edit: I've been using these as my sole audio device for a few weeks, and I think the battery life makes it perfectly suitable to be a secondary audio device if you switch from speakers to headphones, but using them by themselves, the battery life can get slightly annoying.-All that said, I'll never go back to wired headphones. No clutter, talking to my brother on Discord while peeing in the bathroom or searching for food in the kitchen, or perhaps just simply sitting somewhere else or standing up without worrying about a cord. It's awesome.-While 7.1 in headphones is a pointless gimmick, these sound fine in general. I'm not an audiophile so I can't go tit for tat against some $400 pair of headphones, but these sound great as far as I can tell.-Built quality and fit is great. Headband is somewhat thin and might cause some minor discomfort depending on how your head is shaped. The actual padding is fine, not sharp or anything. Ear cushions are very large and the fabric breaths quite well. I've yet to have sweaty ears or that momentary soreness you get from maybe wearing headphones with slightly too small of cups and the edges get pinched. Never happened.-The range is good in my experience. I have a fairly small apartment so I can't test the absolute limits of it, but I've been in range even going from the 2nd to 1st floor.The mic is a common complaint on people switching from wired to wireless, but that is a common problem on all wireless headphones. That's simply a technological limit. What people don't consider is that VOIPs whether it be through Discord, Skype, or in-game, usually caps audio quality anyway. While you can tell the difference testing on your own computer, over the internet, pretty much nobody is going to notice any appreciable difference in mic quality between a wireless and wired headset. If you're really hurting that bad for a better mic, you can get a cheap desk mic like the bm-700 which will guaranteed beat any headset attached mic.Explanation for not a verified Amazon purchase: I bought these off ebay around Black Friday since I missed the Amazon deal, and Best Buy apparently doesn't take online rain checks (seriously, my order took like a day and a half to process at which point the $70 pair of headphones was $100 and out of stock, so uh.. screw you Best Buy).tl;dr: Great build quality and comfort, serviceable mic (hard to notice vs wired over VOIPs anyway). I only wish the battery life was longer, not that I use these 15 hours at a time, but bumping it up to 25 or 30 hours would make it virtually carefree.

In these past two years I have moved 3 times, so I don't know where much of my Vine stuff is stored (most of my belongings are in still in boxes in storage), thus is the reason it took me this long to review these buds by Asseso. I was delighted to come across them in one of the boxes. I remembered how good these buds sounded the brief moment I tested them out when I first received them.In the past two years, I have tested and own countless earbuds, most of them being wireless. They have ranged from $45 buds, to $350 buds.All I can say is that, in general, I don't think wireless buds sound as good - by a long shot. Sure, the $350 buds sounds good, but they're tons heavier, have to be charged, and I can still hear the compression. It's always a treat to come across good sounding WIRED buds. I can really hear the difference in sound that I can actually 'feel' it.I'm more a fan of neutral/flat sound, as opposed to bass heavy sound many seem to be into. While I wouldn't consider these buds to be neutral/flat, as they are tuned to be slightly on the "bass-y" side, I would totally listen to these. The HP1 has an exciting sound signature, and sound super smooth. I can't put it into words, but I can tell these aren't 'wireless'.Bass is clean and pronounced, gets deep and is robust. The mids, while slightly subdued, is clear, and treble sparkles just enough not to hurt the ears. Though the bass does take center stage, it doesn't overpower and muddy the rest of the sound.These Asseso HP1 buds are super light, and so comfortable that I forget that I'm wearing them, especially after having used wireless for so long.So, where do these stand in the army of buds I own in terms of sound quality? These sound better than all but one of the buds that fall in the $100 range that I own, and sound about as good as some buds I have that are in the $200 range. Some that I have in that price range don't sound as good as these. The $350 pair I own do sound better only because the flat/neutral tune I prefer coming from superior drivers, as they are perfectly flat/neutral sounding, and I like that best. But still, I can sense the 'compression'. And these get MUCH louder. That's another thing. I absolutely hate that most wireless buds just don't get loud, and that makes such a huge difference in the listening experience. In terms of sound, these out-rank all but a few wireless buds I own, and that's a similar story with all my wired buds/headsets/headphones, with the best sounding among them being better sounding than any wireless thing I own by a country mile. 'Wired' stuff is in a class of their own.I seriously hope wired technology is never fully phased out of existence, as it's clearly superior....and these are only $23. It makes you seriously wonder about the 'wireless' tech they've been trying to push on us at ridiculous prices. That's not even considering that you turn your head into a receiver of EMR whenever you pop one of those wireless buds into your head. Sure, you get some EMR on even wired stuff (from the EMF generated by the magnets inside the buds/headphones), but not nearly as much as you do when add in the fact that you're transmitting/receiving large data packets straight from your head.In the end, for many reasons, I still prefer everything to be 'wired' even in 2021. These buds by Asseso is one of many examples of why I do. At $23 they're not going to be the best sounding anything, especially when you compare them with other wired buds/headphones that cost much more, but they certainly sound better than most wireless stuff I have even at $23 - the price of a decent meal these days. Get these. At $23 you won't be disappointed.

I got these, because I thought it was a cool concept and I'd never tried a pair before. They came well packaged and were easy to connect.I ran through my usual test songs and all the audio sounded good. It's obviously not going to replace a dedicated system or even something like Sennheiser or Bose over-ear noise cancelling head phones, but that's not what they're for.These are very clear when pressed against your head head the way they're supposed to be. I also only had to turn them to 1/2-3/4 of the full volume to have a comfortable volume to me, so they're plenty loud. You can hear them if you pull them away from your head. It's not like you can only hear them when they're touching your flesh. However, even at a pretty loud volume, it's very, very faint for anyone around you. I let my friend try them. I was standing maybe 4' away. I turned it up to where he said not to go any higher and I could barely hear it.The situations this would be ideal for, would be situations where you need to hear what's going on around you. For instance, I work in the office of a metal fab shop. They don't allow you to where earbuds in your ears for safety reasons. How that meshes with wearing earplugs for hearing safety, IDK. They can wear these, though, because they can theoretically hear someone yelling at them to "watch out".I think these are also a benefit if you're exercising on a road (walking/jogging). Especially, if you have hearing issues, like my dad. I listen to audiobooks with earbuds in and don't have any problems hearing cars coming. I do walk on the side of the road against traffic, so I can see them anyway. However, my dad can't hear them coming, even with nothing in or on. This would be ideal for him.There are a couple of negatives in my mind. One is the fit. I wish they had a couple of options for size. The band that connects them in the back is very small. Once I get it on my head and locked over my ears, it's very secure and comfortable, but its a little tight slipping it on. I wish I could get one with an adjustable band, or one about 1/2" longer. Maybe I just have a big head, because I've let other people try it and I think it looks a little looser on them than it feels on me. It might also be a problem if you have big/thick hair. As a test, I let a girl with her hair up on her head try it and she put it on with no issues. I'm not sure about if you have your hair down. I'm sure you could get it on, but it might take some fiddling that another style might not.Having said that, once they're on, they feel pretty secure. I feel like I could take a tumble and they'd stay on. They stay in place perfectly if my head is forward, but if I look over my shoulder, its tight enough that it pulls on slightly out of place. So far, when I turn my head back, it slides back where it's supposed to be. I think that's just the issue I mentioned with the cord being a little short.Anyway, for my first experience with them I think the tech is neat. I'll probably start using them when I exercise. If I'm just sitting around and listening to something, I'll reach for something with more noise cancelling features, but I think these are ideal for certain situations.

So let's get this out of the way, if you like bass to the point where you can make it ridiculously overbearing these are hard to beat. I've had the crusher wireless for several years and they're my go to headphones that I take to work, use when mowing the lawn so on and so forth.The EVO is superior in literally every way EXCEPT FOR COMFORT. The actual drivers product much more pleasing sound than the crusher wireless and the haptic drivers are significantly more powerful and faster than before allowing for truly teeth-rattling levels of bass if you should so choose. They have a slightly smaller form factor and can rotate flat allowing them to be stored in more ways and smaller spaces. An additional dedicated power button above the bass slider frees up the function of the play/pause button for an extra function. Battery life is nearly doubled as well.On to the one thing that has not improved, and is honestly worse off than the crusher wireless. Comfort. With all of the improvements made from the crusher wireless to the EVO the weight has increased significantly. This paired with the pitifully unsupportive cushioning of the silicone headband pad(which is the same on the crusher wireless as well, but they're much lighter so it's not noticeable) this pair of headphones can cause a sore spot on your head after a bit of time. The cushion appears deeper than the cushion on the crusher wireless however it feels just as thin so instead of actual padding it's more like an air pocket behind it and it basically just squishes flat offering no real support or relief. The pad is also significantly less wide than on the original crusher wireless decreasing the contact area and increasing how the weight of the headphones digs into that area.Even thought these headphones are much less comfortable than the original crusher wireless I've been using for years I still can't give them less than a 4/5 because I love everything about how they sound. I'm actively working on resolving the headband pad issue myself trying a couple of different methods, if I find a method that works well enough that I don't get a pressure point headache after about an hour I'll update my review and include pictures.EDIT:So after about 2.5 months of daily use, I can say I did get slightly accustomed to the fit and weight. I still wouldn't describe them as comfortable. I tried several aftermarket headband pad type products, even tried to make my own little suspension style strap with the headband screws(they're too close together, doesn't really work). I did find one thing that makes the headphones comfortable pretty much indefinitely for me at least. A structured, or at least semi-structured hat. I bought a Richardson style 112 hat, was wearing it while mowing the lawn, and had the headphones on over the hat(at nearly max extension so this may not work for people who already have the headphones passed the halfway mark) and when I finished mowing I realized my head wasn't hurting and I hadn't been pushing the headphones around. The structuring in the hat supports the weight of the headband and fixes my only issue for these headphones. I also made myself these little 3D printed adapters that slot into the groove the stock earpads fit on to allow for larger earpads, they fit MDR7506/M50X size pads now which isn't necessary but I think it's nice. I did however learn in doing this that you want standard thickness pads, not extra thick pads. They make the clamp force on your temples/jaw kind of painful and the increased airspace in there means you have to really crank the volume and may not be loud enough still. But overall the vibration effect wasn't that affected, maybe a little but I don't run it maxed out anyway so I had room to crank it up more.

UPDATE:See the original review if you want the full review but I've had this watch for a bit and there are some things I'd like to add. For one I scratched the crystal on a concrete bench, pretty sure it scraped some quartz and well the hardness of quartz means it'll scratch a watch crystal. I'll see if a jeweler can buff it out.A note on some of my complaints. The app is okay, but not amazing and the watch itself only syncs to the app when you open the app, it won't sync in the background (this issue might be exclusive to Android). This may be a deal breaker for most as it's frustrating that you can't ever trust your watch to sync but I found a hack someone released in like 2018 that is basically just a better app in every way to the original including a function that allows it to sync every time you unlock your phone. I'm a big fan of easy community solutions to shitty corporate decisions so if anything it made me like the watch more.Definitely be wary that installing a random unverified apk onto your android phone is considered unsafe but in my opinion worth it because now my watch syncs properly and the new hacked app has better functionality. (if you want the hacked app for your android phone you can look it up, it's made by coronafire and I found it through some random reddit post.ORIGINAL REVIEW:Whelp, I got the watch around noon Aug 1 and it's 7pm Aug 19 and have finally gotten to 12% battery life. Now there's a couple things to note. Namely, that I don't wear it while I sleep. Otherwise I use it to track my walks, I look at the heart-rate graph at the end of the day and I only have some minor complaints.Pros: Looks fantastic, works exactly as expected. Battery life is phenomenal. Watch face is very easy to see in daylight compared to backlit screens. That's what you get with an e-ink display. On top of that you can customize the background to whatever you want and place different information points wherever you like.Cons: E-ink is a little slow to respond, for me not a huge deal, but if you like things snappy, you're not getting it with this display. It occasionally spends time unsynced from my phone, I note this because the weather occasionally doesn't display on the screen. Another downside is that the heart rate chart doesn't show exact values, and you can't output it either. Best you get is a max/min/avg heartrate and you kinda just have to guess the rest from the graph. Not the end of the world, but it sucks you can't get exact values from throughout the day. Other reviewers say they've seen condensation in their watch. I'm not a shower/sleep with my watch kinda guy, I tend not to just dunk watches in water or expose them to extreme circumstances, especially when they look this good and professional. Idk if it's quality control or whatever, but if you plan to treat this like a rugged watch, do this watch and yourself a favor and just get something meant for that. Sure marketing says 3atm of water resistance, but if you know watches you know anything under 5atm is basically not waterproof so don't get upset about it, marketing is just that, and while I believe companies should be honest I know we live in the real world and they're going to lie to us no matter what so understand that you're not going diving and you shouldn't shower wearing a $150 hybrid watch from Fossil.Side Note: Other reviews have said it doesn't come with instructions. It does, they're just kinda wedged in the box, just gotta look a little, they've got a big "FOSSIL" printed on the cover I'm pretty sure.Overall I love it, I did a lot of research and for me having a watch I can wear for 18 days without worrying about battery, but still getting little buzz's for notifications and still seeing steps and weather and the date all conveniently there how I want it. Truly enjoy this, it looks very professional and has a premium feel.

 Was hoping for a fast image taking camera to rival competitive action camera.Photo wise is does fairly well. Could be a lot better. Video is situational, and not the best for moving objectives.When riding a recumbent trike for exercise and leisure am often seeing large birds in the air above or darting from a tree. Most fly over in mere seconds and was hoping for fast photo taking.Ordro EP8 takes far too long to take a photo from an off position. Turns on, noise, taking a picture (slow Asian voice), picture noise, then photo gets taken. 7 to 8 seconds if you are fast enough. By then the action is done over or gone away. Did not want a Beginner feature. Is there a way to turn off the voices completely?Video Mode is faster. Turns on, noise, Recording, noise, Video starts. 6 to 8 seconds at the fastest.When the video is recording, taking a photo is much easier, there is a brief noise and photo is taken. That is how it should be, even from an off position. Should be this way for a Pro Mode.Ordro EP8 picks up far too much wind noise. Only recently found out about these Furry Wind Muffs (ASIN B07YFBF89S) that I have ordered to see if this help. Seen these on a video.Another issue is wearing the head gimbal with a bicycle helmet. Under the helmet straps the ear part presses in. After a while this really hurts the ear. If on the outside of the helmet straps are loose, yet the Ordro EP8 moves or shifts. There is no mounted laser or red dot to align the camera's line-of-view. Also, the camera does not have its a native auto-leveling like most of the competition has already.Standing photos are fair. For $269 though this camera needs a lot of work. I would not pay more than $125 for it the way it sits. A plastic head mounted headset does not do it for me with its wimpy features.The competition has fast photo capabilities, even fast video. Not the Ordro EP8.For a Pro camera it ought to have options to avoid the long wait times to record or take a photo. If this was a Pro camera, why does it need Beginner voices it is commands?Perhaps the manufacturer will have some sort of way to upload a firmware update at some point soon.The camera can be mounted onto a tripod I read. Never did this since the Remote did not come with the package. For the price of this setup, it should have been included. Not everyone likes having a phone in the photo (to use the app).Noises from the ear-canal of the EP8 also get quite annoying. Felt like poking a small piece of foam inside. In fact, the who head gimbal needs foam around it to make it more comfortable.In closing, take some photos of the camera on your head every so often if cycling, cause the gimbal will fluctuate and change positions. If the EP8s camera is too far back it will pick up glasses and head wear. Also check for ground orientation as the camera does not have a self-leveling function. Also avoid shady wooded or brushy areas and its low light function does not rival any of its competition in the same price range.Have been leaving it at home more than taking it with me. Seems every device or camera I have needs an app to connect to the smart phone. How many apps, Bluetooth connections, and WiFi connections are needed to take some photos and to be sure 'what you are looking at is what the camera is looking at' too?Am generous for giving this camera 4 stars. It is a situational camera.Function vs Price:Pro:* Takes photos* Record Videos* Takes rapid stills only in Video mode* Decent battery life.* Head mounting allows for freedom of movementCon:* Slow Starting* Voices hard to understand fully* Needs to be a function to turn voices off, shortening the wait time to take a photo, or record a video.* Not totally hands free. Always need to press a button. Hands get in the way of shots.* Picks up too much wind noise.* For the price it does not even arrive with a remote.* Too expensive.* No extra items, no cleaning brush or cloth included.* Gimbal is not steady nor balanced.* No gimbal counter weight* Too much shifting of the camera's view* No automatic ground leveling* Head gimbal causes pains in the ear* No cycling 3M helmet attachment* Needs the app loaded and running to see what the camera sees. This can cause distractions from other things like 360 camera functions and virtual reality entertainment going on too.If the Ordro EP8 was $125 to $150 I might be inclined to recommend it. For its near $270 it is far too expensive for what few functions it claims to offer.

Since even before the era of air pods that look like someone has taken a pair of scissors to headphones and said "Hmm.. That will do" and then now Apple have the cheek to release a pair with rubbers like many companies already have like Jabra and many smaller ones allowing you to actually do things like run or hang upside down and still keep them in, and then charge £249.SOUND QUALITY:Now here is the first thing that was already expected. Sound. I have a few pairs of wireless headphones and have worn them for more than 3 years now. The sound is amazing here. The bass has the deeper boom that we all want similar to when BFI IMAX starts. Even the intro wants to show off the bass by giving a little start up. These are actually loud at the highest setting. To make the sound louder on these make sure you are playing music that is transfered from your PC to your phone as files rather than Apple Music and Spotify which suck for metal volume and rock volume. Killswitch Engage etc and so on sound way better with these. As for movies, finally, some headphones that let you be completely immersed. You can't actually hear anybody with the music or movie up high despite not being noise cancelling. They don't need to be.APPEARANCE:They are all black and smart with a mix of matte black and gloss. There are also small rubber sections that come off that are sticking out that hinge onto parts of your ear. They look a but like mini Boba Fett ships that are upright which is quite funny. The case itself is a bit longer than most at 7cm ish (3 inches). The lights at the front tell how you much charge is in the caseCOMFORT:At first when you put them in, they don't seem like they will even stay in or fit. These aren't conventional in ear rubbers so these rely on a combination of making a seal around your ear cavity with a larger output hole and the rubber sticky out bits holding on creating a two way force keeping them in place. Also, they don't feel 100% secure but they actually are. You quickly forget you have them in until about an hour or so passes and then you have the small rubber bits that have that small little bit of annoyance but then that dissipates too. VALUE:Now here is the sticking point although, time will tell. When we look at value we have to take into account reliability and time. So many vehicles use BOSE sound systems and they continue to work in Audi vehicles and other brands for a long time and are probably the most popular after market systems when you consider price and sound quality. So with these, the only issues over time should be battery not lasting as long which is expected in any battery operated product. Hopefully there will be a way to replace the batteries but these are very hard to open and most aren't designed to even be tampered with. The construction itself is very sturdy and it's difficult to really mess these up also. I expect to get a few years out of these.UPDATE: 13/10/2020Have used them for a week solid now all of a sudden they have stopped being able to connect. I have done nothing but use them as should be. Having left the case with headphones on charge, the headphones remained connected to my phone and did not turn off inside the case. The headphones have no turn off or turn on button or reset button and rely on being in the case or not. The case has all lights lit up and is no longer connecting to my phone now. Even after turning bluetooth on and off and the lights no longer flash on the headphones at all.I am now going to call customer support to resolve this issue as no amount of troubleshooting this morning is rectifying the problem. If this happens continuously, they may require a replacement pair.....UPDATE: 16/10/20After nothing working for about a 6 hour period, they magically decided that they had enough of a break from me and started to operate normally and since then, no issues at all. The only thing I can report on with these is that after 2 hours of wearing (I am using them for phone calls ta work most of the time instead of a Jabra over the top headset) the plastic bits that go into your ears create a tiny bit of earache. they do last a long time with charges

Item: Ordro EP-8 Point of View 4K Video CameraPrice: $256.00 with vendor’s $14 discount coupon - (reviewed 09 28 22)My excitement using this particular ‘POV’ camera centers on my now being able to easily record hands-on demo segments for my Amazon reviews. Previously, I’d done all of my ‘outside of the office-studio area’ work using an Android smartphone’s camera, mounted on a heavy duty roll-around tripod system. It’s a good setup, and easy to reposition. But trying to position the camera for ‘hands on’ reviews was tough. It’s very hard to get ‘right in there…’ so to speak, when you’re operating a review item, or demonstrating a DIY procedure. The Ordro EP-8 basically sees what I see, and allows you, the viewer, to feel like you’re the one performing the activity. And not only is it optimally positional, the Ordro records a true 4K quality video with good audio. And for me, I’m now able to edit in these ‘Ordro POV’ segments in 4k (set to 3840 x 2160 @ 60-fps), which matches my studio recordings from my mirrorless 4K camera. Bottom line, this is a very valuable ‘working tool.’About the ease of use………The Ordro, right out of the box, and with quick reference to the user’s manual, was recording with a few minutes. So let me walk you through a quick-setup. Firstly, all audio is from the center of the brass-threaded mounting stud that connects to the head band. While low volume, if near your ear or wearing the head-band, you’ll hear it; but it’s not a conventional speaker. It’s definitely a loud headphone-type annunciator.• Charge the camera using the supplied ‘high-capacity’ QS cable provided• When the RED charge light goes GREEN, you’re charged• But you can also ‘power-on’ and ‘use the camera’ during the charge function• ------------ How to connect the app – There are voice prompts ---------• The user’s manual has the app name and info… download it• Power on the camera by pushing-holding the power button• Insert your microSD card, contacts facing outward• The earphone will prompt you to push PHOTO button to format the card• To activate the camera’s WiFi transmit signal, tap the power buttonYou can also shut off the Wifi by again tapping the power button• Go to your WiFi available networks. The cam appears as ‘EP-8…..’• Select that as your WiFi source (the pass is numbers 1 thru 8)• Go to the app… select CONNECTING DEVICE, the monitor comes upWhen you’re in the app you can go to the GEAR ICON top left and do your settings. I selected the highest 4K 60fps video and highest 20M photo resolution. Through the app you can download files that you choose, and send them from card to your photo-gallery. I’ve done it all, from removing the card and connecting to my computer for a quick download, to connecting the camera to my computer for use as a 4k camera. I’ve also direct connected the camera via the microHDMI port on the back end directly to my 42” desk monitor. You can see the video and hear the audio real–time. For whatever might come up when you want to see or transfer the output directly from your Ordro EP-8 to any device, I’d highly recommend you have a male-microHDMI to male-HDMI cable, 6-ft to 10-ft. And consider also a male-microHDMI to female-HDMI short adapter cable.Overall, I highly recommend this 4K POV camera. For me it’s a working tool for my Amazon reviews. But I’d add that it also makes for a great ‘evidence’ recorder when a body-cam might be a bit obvious and intimidating. I’ve used both and like the more friendly POV unit if recording an interaction. But regardless of how you use it, you’ll like the versatility of this head-band camera. It’s definitely a 5-star item for me.
