The Perfect Sound With Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro @SamsungMobileSA #GalaxyBudsPro #ProductReview

Hi Friends, 

Samsung Galaxy BudsPro is the latest earbuds that were launched in January-2021 after Samsung Galaxy Buds Live launched in August 2020 and Samsung went back to the In-Ear design though the square charging case remains the same. The main colour is now Phantom Violet to meet the latest Galaxy S21 series along with Phantom Black and Phantom Silver. The glossy earbuds look amazingly beautiful indeed and people will be able to recognize your earbuds brand in a single glance. The first thing that hits you is the clarity of audio and the immersion into the music you love to listen to, I got impressed with these ones as soon as I played my first few Bollywood songs. Since then I have been using these Buds Pro in all my daily meetings, audiobooks listening along with unlimited watching of web series and Youtube videos. I can even say these are one of the best in the market at the moment and will continue to beat the upcoming ones because of their audio performance as well as various features like ANC, ambient noise and equalizers.

A close look at the earbuds will make you fall in love with the design that has both bling as well as simplicity to get things done. The silicon isolation has a fine mesh to keep dirt away just before the metallic mesh on earbuds. Silicon has an inbuilt socket so that it fits nicely and doesn't get lost like we see in other earbuds from other manufacturers. Left and Right earbuds are marked with Letters L and R. There are two sensors visible on the outside of the earbuds along with 2 meshes of speakers along with 2 pins to charge the earbuds. Earbuds stem is inclined towards the ear canals to make them fit perfectly in your ears. There is only one problem with any earbuds like these if your charging case is not working there is no other option to charge them or if you lost them then the rest of the mechanism goes to waste as there is no replacement so you have to take care of all these things.

First of all these new Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro comes in three colours - Phantom Black, Phantom Violet and Phantom Silver. These earbuds are IPX7 so they are water-resistant up to 1 m in freshwater though the case is not waterproof. It means that the normal rain and sweat won't make any difference to the quality of earbuds and they will still work after the same. You can even drop them into a glass of water and they will still work afterwards which is amazing. Saying that part of the feature though you shall always take care of the charging points should not be wet when you put them in the case or while charging the earbuds. Some days back Samsung launched care information too about all of their earbuds in the market from Galaxy Buds, Buds Plus, Buds Live and Buds Pro. If you want I can bring in some of the facts from the post, let me know if you want that on my blog. For your general information, Poly Consumer material has been used to make these earbuds and charging case which includes some 20% recycled plastic too. That's a great cause for nature considering how many millions of units will be produced and sold by Samsung.

Galaxy Buds Pro earbuds are a little heavier at 6.3 grams each as compared to 5.6g of Buds Live. The charging case is 44.9 grams whereas 42.4 grams in Buds Live. The battery of the earbuds is 61mAh and the case is 472mAh which is almost similar to Galaxy Buds Live exception being 60mAh in Buds Live. These earbuds still give 1 hour of playback with 5 minutes of charging. The case comes with a wireless power share where it can be charged using your Galaxy smartphone if it can provide wireless reverse charging. The charging case has a hump as compared to the Buds Live to accommodate the same battery despite a different design and to secure the in-ear earbuds using some strong magnets which don't fall even if you shake the open case.

The earbuds have an 11mm woofer that provides deeper bass and a 6.5mm tweeter for crisp treble which is the powerhouse behind the clear audio quality along with several sensors built into it. I am sure I am a big fan of treble myself hence I felt magically attached to these earbuds as the previous versions didn't have so much treble. 3 microphones, a voice pickup unit and a windshield provide great voice quality during calls or video recordings. All this setup provides great clear audio and less noise during the calls. ANC and Ambient Sound are the features enhanced over previous versions with giving users the opportunity to control their ANC with 2 adjustable levels and ambient with 4 adjustable levels along with voice detect all controlled via the Samsung Wear App.

Each earbud gives around 8 hours of playback along with the case giving another playback of 20 hours totalling 28 hours without ANC. With ANC, the same reduces to 5 hours and the case gives 13 hours totalling 18 hours which is quite a reduction in the number of hours. The technology inside these earbuds is huge and miniaturing the circuit board and the battery is what innovation is all about. We generally only see the casing outside and the audio performance but what's working inside to produce that audio performance is beyond our imagination. The intelligence on these Buds Pro is such that it switches from ANC to ambient sound and lower the music volume for your conversation. It detects your own voice too if you start singing while listening to music which sometimes is irritating and needs software improvement. Though the feature won't get turned on if it senses that it's an external noise and not a human voice that is really intelligent.

Active Noise Cancellation reduces up to 99% of noise reduction along with the passive isolation the earbuds provide. Ambient sound also provides up to 20dB amplification. I generally don't use ANC these days as we are always at home and at home, you need to listen to the doorbell as once when I was using it - a family who has to come to meet us, kept ringing the doorbell and I could not hear it too and then they called my wife to open the door as she was walking outside. I have even crossed many walls before which the Bluetooth connection drops on these earbuds so the amount of money you are paying for them is well worth the price. People have compared these with the Sony and Apple Earbuds too and found that these are worthy of the top position. I don't have the other two to test them out but I am totally in love with these ones for sure and these ones have brought my love for music back again right in my sense of listening.

I totally am in the love with the best Samsung can offer in terms of True Wireless Audio earphones and enjoying every song I listen to on these Galaxy buds pro. The quality of this product is amazing and the durability is also great. The product is retailing for around R3999 and is included in some of the bundled packages with the smartphone. I am sure it will easily last me for more than 2-3 years. In the recent software updates, Samsung has provided the update to use even a single earbud in ANC mode as well as ambient noise mode which was not the case earlier. I am waiting for that update to happen on my earbuds and then I can keep myself focused on the tasks as well as music in my ears. Thanks to Samsung South Africa for launching them in this country and I am reaping its benefits for sure! Thanks!!!

The New @HuaweiZA #HuaweiFreeBuds4i: Unpacking The Specs #FeelTheBeat

Hi Friends, 

The new HUAWEI FreeBuds 4i is packed with vital features one would expect and more you would hope for from wireless earphones. Here are a few highlights:

Deep active noise cancellation technology
One of the most impressive aspects of the HUAWEI FreeBuds 4i is that it sports Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), a feature not often seen in earbuds of this price band. HUAWEI FreeBuds 4i uses built-in acoustic components and algorithms to generate inverted soundwaves. This technology allows HUAWEI FreeBuds 4i to actively cancel out noise and achieve a more immersive audio experience for the user, whether they’re in a busy shopping centre, out on the street or on noisy public transport.

To achieve active noise cancellation, HUAWEI FreeBuds 4i uses microphones to detect ambient noise and adopts active noise cancellation algorithms to create inverted acoustic waves to cancel out this ambient noise Sound quality is not compromised when delivering comfortable active noise cancellation and it can also help reduce pressure in users’ ears.

Ten hours of listening pleasure and a long-lasting battery
When ANC is turned off, HUAWEI FreeBuds 4i can offer 10 hours of continuous music playback or 6.5 hours of voice call on a full charge. Together with the charging case, it can give you up to 22 hours of music playback or 14 hours of voice calls. And, with fast charging, the HUAWEI FreeBuds 4i can deliver four hours of listening enjoyment from just ten minutes of charging.

Awareness mode for easier communication
When using noise-cancelling headphones in public, users need to be aware of certain ambient sounds. HUAWEI FreeBuds 4i supports Awareness mode. With a long pinch on the earbud handle, users can easily switch from Noise Cancellation mode to Awareness mode without taking out the earbuds. This allows users to communicate with people around them more easily when they need to.
The New @HuaweiZA #HuaweiFreeBuds4i: Unpacking The Specs #FeelTheBeat
Edgy design & great fit
To reduce the strain on ears, the compact body of HUAWEI FreeBuds 4i results from repeated tests on its body structure and materials. HUAWEI FreeBuds 4i comes with 3 sizes of soft silicone ear tips, allowing users to pick the right-sized tips for a sturdier and more comfortable wearing experience.

The earbud stem of HUAWEI FreeBuds 4i adopts an edgeless design for a more pleasing appearance. Its oval-shaped and compact charging case is silky smooth on the front, while its flattened back allows it to sit easily on a flat surface.

The charging case is designed to fit neatly into your palm, resulting in a feeling of security and control when you're holding it. Furthermore, the shimmering surface of the charging case adds endless vitality to HUAWEI FreeBuds 4i.

Perfect sound quality
HUAWEI FreeBuds 4i has a customised audible unit. Inside its compact body is a 10mm dynamic driver with well-balanced performance for high, mid and low frequencies, ensuring sharp sound quality no matter the kind of audio. For the first time, HUAWEI FreeBuds 4i has also been expertly tuned for pop music, subtly balancing instrumental and vocal audio frequencies to make this a great companion for pop fans. The separate rear chamber design also ensures consistency in sound effects and comfortable listening for the user.

Dual-microphone noise cancellation for clearer calls
To minimise the interference of ambient noise during calls, HUAWEI FreeBuds 4i uses multiple technologies including the emission of “inverted soundwaves”, supported by two external microphones for accurate sound pickup. It also includes a unique anti-wind design, which can effectively improve wind noise cancellation. Coupled with neural network AI technology, HUAWEI FreeBuds 4i can relieve noise interference for clear calls. This means that during calls both parties can enjoy a crystal-clear, high-quality calling experience.

Sensitive touch sensor for precision control
To deliver an exceptional interaction experience, the sensitivity of the sensor is critical. HUAWEI FreeBuds 4i has built-in capacitive touch sensors on both sides of the earbuds, which can accurately determine the user's habits and further improve their degree of sensitivity. Compared with the traditional tapping method, users can complete operations such as music control, voice calling, and switching noise cancellation on and off with a light tap, meaning they can enjoy a more convenient interactive experience.

Additionally, the earbuds’ surface is finished with a high-gloss coating to repel dirt and scuff marks, together with an anti-mistouch algorithm, which helps users avoid making false touches.

With its active noise cancellation, extreme battery life, stylish design and audio quality optimised to users’ listening habits, HUAWEI FreeBuds 4i allows users to enjoy a convenient experience brought by cutting-edge technologies. HUAWEI FreeBuds 4i is a pair of earphones that everyone should consider.

Buy the HUAWEI FreeBuds 4i at Vodacom for R1499 and get a bundle offer worth R379 that includes a protective case cover valued at R199 and a HUAWEI Music three-month subscription valued at R180. This offer is available while stocks last, at selected stores.

Also, you can add R49 PM X 24 to selected contracts to get a pair of HUAWEI FreeBuds 4i.

Tune into Every Moment #GalaxyBudsLive @SamsungMobileSA #TeamGalaxy #Unpacked2020

Hi Friends, 

Galaxy Buds Live defy conventional design — with one-of-a-kind aesthetics, they’re like nothing you’ve ever seen or worn before. Samsung has reconfigured traditional earbud design, laying out internal components horizontally instead of vertically. That way, the earbuds don’t protrude from your ears, providing a more natural appearance. This ergonomic, tip-less design conforms to the shape of your ear, making them comfortable enough to wear all day. You can further customise your fit with two sizes of wingtips.

Galaxy Buds Live were engineered to bring your sound to life. Combining AKG’s sound expertise with Samsung’s legacy of hardware innovation, Galaxy Buds Live offer a truly immersive audio experience. With a 12mm speaker and bass duct, the audio sounds deep and rich, allowing you to enjoy music the way the artist intended. With three microphones and a Voice Pickup Unit, your earbuds home in on your voice and ensure you always come through loud and clear on the phone. These earbuds feature Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) for open type, allowing you to tune out distractions like passing cars and loud laundry machines, while still being able to tune into important announcements and conversations.
Tune into Every Moment #GalaxyBudsLive @SamsungMobileSA #TeamGalaxy #Unpacked2020
Galaxy Buds Live offer a convenient and connected listening experience, compatible with a range of devices. Seamlessly switch between compatible devices — no disconnecting and reconnecting required. And when paired with the latest Galaxy devices, you can open your world to new possibilities. Record crystal clear audio for your video on the Galaxy Note20 by using Galaxy Buds Live as a wireless microphone. Use ‘Game Mode’ to reduce audio latency – with Galaxy Note20’s Dynamic AMOLED 2X display, you can enjoy a more immersive gaming experience. You can also easily share music with friends — without compromising sound quality — using the new Buds Together feature.

For more convenient navigation, Galaxy Buds Live feature an intuitive touch-based PUI (physical user interface) for touch control, as well as Bixby voice wake-up, which allows you to navigate music, open apps, and send messages hands-free and eyes-free. Plus, Galaxy Buds Live come with long-lasting battery life. When fully charged, your earbuds can support up to 6 hours of playback, and the charging case allows you to enjoy an additional 15 hours over multiple charges. And when you need to top up on charge quickly, you can gain 1 hour of playtime with just 5 minutes of charging.

Availability
Galaxy Buds Live are available in select countries starting from August 6, 2020, and will expand to more markets and will come in Mystic Bronze, Mystic White, and Mystic Black. They are priced at R3999 and you can get them for free if you pre-order the new Samsung Note 20 Series smartphones till a certain date which is 21st August in South Africa. 

I have not been in touch with any of the Galaxy Buds series of products since they got launched, so it will be awesome to see if I will hear from one soon in 2020!

Product Review - Bang & Olufsen H3 ANC #Earphones @BangOlufsenSA

Hi Friends, 

Bang and Olufsen needs no introduction as their products are unique audio products each worthy of drooling over before you start using them. H3 is another one of their marvellous product designed by Jakob Wagner and this time it has an Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) unit attached to these small wired earphones. 

The ANC unit is attached next to the 3.5mm jack as then it can stay connected to you phone and can be left hanging or inside your pockets. But it's an odd looking circular device with a micro USB charging port and an On-Off button on the body. I didn't like the circular unit as it only has Bang and Olufsen branding. If it has some clip to attach the same to pockets or if there was something like where wires can be tangled, it would have served a better purpose because now the center of gravity of the earphones due to this unit's weight is not proper. 
Product Review - Bang & Olufsen H3 ANC #Earphones @BangOlufsenSA
Let's come to the unit itself, which is crafted using extremely light weight metal which feels good quality and robust to use. There are 29 air vents drilled into the housing of Beoplay H3 ANC to provide amazing acoustics. This was the first time I was using ANC in these kinds of earphones and though they are internally noise isolated because of the memory foam based eartips, you feel a little bit later that the noise cancellation has kicked in already when someone comes to talk to you. Noise cancellation is not as effective as in the over ear models or on ear models from the same brand or any other brands in the market.
Product Review - Bang & Olufsen H3 ANC #Earphones @BangOlufsenSA
The ANC unit can provide around 20hrs of playtime with its rechargeable battery capacity of 350mAh. The device can be fully charged in around 2.5 to 3 hours. You can switch On and Off using a small button on the side of the attachment. The overall weight of the earphones is 40 grams and cord length is 1.35m. The cable also has a remote to control the music and receive the calls etc which works better with iOS devices. The inbuilt microphone is good enough to talk and works on Micro-electrical mechanical system (MEMS) as called by Bang and Olufsen.
Product Review - Bang & Olufsen H3 ANC #Earphones @BangOlufsenSA
The sound quality is unmatched and gives you amazing details in all kinds of music genres. The speakers inside the earplugs is electro-dymanic 10.8mm drivers. The frequency range of the product is 20 to 160000 Hz and is available in Gunmetal Grey color. The packaging also includes a carry case along with a flight adapter and silicon ear tips.

Overall, I would say it's a nice ANC earphones but if you are running short on budget, you can always buy the normal H3 earphones. Some of the Bang and Olufsen products are on Sale at Mall of Africa showroom at the moment. Check out the same and this review was done on a review device which was taken back after 2 weeks.
