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. 
Music At Its Best With Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro @SamsungMobileSA #GalaxyBudsPro #ProductReview

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. 
Music At Its Best With Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro @SamsungMobileSA #GalaxyBudsPro #ProductReview
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. 
Music At Its Best With Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro @SamsungMobileSA #GalaxyBudsPro #ProductReview
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. 
Music At Its Best With Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro @SamsungMobileSA #GalaxyBudsPro #ProductReview
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. 
Music At Its Best With Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro @SamsungMobileSA #GalaxyBudsPro #ProductReview
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!!!

Product Review - @AstrumSA ET300 True Wireless Freedom Headset #Bluetooth #Earphones

Hi Friends, 

I simply love earphones and since the launch of Bluetooth versions in all kinds of earphones and headphones, it has became more and more useful to a lot of people around the world. No more tangling and snipping of wires as you run to catch your morning bus or trains. I have been using my Bose in-ear earphones wired ones since many years now and the cable now has starting showing the wires inside and on the verge of breaking down so I was looking at all those new product launches by several brands like Samsung, Bose, Apple, Sony and many others. The price range is too high and there are not many features in any one of the model as compared with Bragi Dash. 

I was invited to rAge Expo 2017 and as a part of media kit, I got the choice to choose between Astrum slim speaker and other Astrum True Wireless Headset ET300 in white color. I immediately chose ET300 model so that I can try out their products at my leisure and enjoy the music wirelessly. 
Product Review - @AstrumSA ET300 True Wireless Freedom Headset #Bluetooth #Earphones
Let's checkout some of the product features which I found to be useful and loved the most. The first being the Bluetooth v4.1 connectivity but the product can only work within the boundaries of a room of 10m as beyond that the connection loses with your smartphone or tablet. And the best part is that each earplug can work independently in case you don't want to use both of them together. You just have to switch ON one of them by pressing on the middle portion of the unit and by long pressing it starts blinking blue and red meaning that bluetooth pairing is ON. As you put them into your ears, it tells you by voice command which side is which. If you just want to use both of them, then simply switch them ON and they get automatically connected to one another and then you can long press one of them to get connected the unit to your bluetooth enabled devices. 

Product Review - @AstrumSA ET300 True Wireless Freedom Headset #Bluetooth #Earphones
Both the earplugs gets settled in your ears easily and comes with various silicon earbuds in small, medium and large sizes and one pair of ear hooks to keep them on your ears in case you take them to running or gym etc. The sound quality on Astrum ET300 is awesome in the price range at which it's available in the market which is around ZAR 600. I simply adored the audio quality and was amazed at how good it is considering Astrum was not a well known brand to me.
Product Review - @AstrumSA ET300 True Wireless Freedom Headset #Bluetooth #Earphones
The device comes with a case which doesn't have any internal battery but can be used to charge the earplugs and to take them with you while not in use. The only con here is the plastic cover of the charger which comes out of the socket easily as it doesn't have any locking mechanism and can be lost in your bag while you travel. The ear units are magnetically attached to charging pins inside the charging unit. I was expecting the case to have some battery backup but at this price range it's difficult to ask. 
Product Review - @AstrumSA ET300 True Wireless Freedom Headset #Bluetooth #Earphones
The total product weight is around 50 grams and each unit has around battery capacity of 40mAh which easily gives music time of two and half hours max and can be charged to full capacity in around 60 minutes. These can be charged using the case with a micro-USB cable provided inside the package or from your android smartphone charging cable. The cons here is that ear units can't be charged if they have ear-hooks on them which is a pain to take out all the time after every 2-3 hours because you first have to take out ear buds and then ear-hooks. When the battery is low, voice prompts warns you to charge the device before finally switching off the device automatically as the battery voltage lowers 3.0V value.
Product Review - @AstrumSA ET300 True Wireless Freedom Headset #Bluetooth #Earphones
The Astrum headsets ET300 can also be used to take hands-free calls and when the call is over, you will go back to the music if that's being played earlier. You can use the earphone to accept the call using the central button to answer the call by shortly pressing the same. If you press the button for 2 seconds, it can also reject the call and will voice prompt the same too. You can mute the microphone during the call by double clicking on the central button and same to undo the same. 

Product Review - @AstrumSA ET300 True Wireless Freedom Headset #Bluetooth #Earphones

Overall, in the end I must say that I love the Astrum ET300 headsets and is using them daily for atleast one charge though I would have loved it more, if it would have come with a charging case with some battery backup. Go checkout the device at many of the online retailers or at Tech House in Fordsburg, Johannesburg. 

As I was checking online, I just saw that a new version of the device ET300 has been launched with all the cons taken care of which I have written for the review of the White ET300 True Wireless Freedom Headsets I received in my media pack but looking forward to review them too.

@SamsungSA #Speakers Make Their Mark On The History of #Sound

Hi Guys,
 
The desire to amplify sound has been with the human race since time immemorial. However, it was only with the development of the gramophone in the 1880s that the need to amplify sound for the purposes of pleasure became necessary.

These early music players used simple horns to increase the volume of the songs, but as these do not utilise electricity, they were only able to magnify sounds to a degree. When the secrets of electrical amplification were discovered, the possibility of generating sound loud enough to fill large public spaces was raised.

“Samsung has taken to heart the lessons learned in speaker development over the course of nearly 150 years and combined this history with its own future-sense to create a whole new way of listening to sound,” says Mike van Lier, Director: Consumer Electronics Samsung South Africa.
@SamsungSA #Speakers Make Their Mark On The History of #Sound
Sound systems today have come a long way since the first modern speaker, using an electromagnet to turn electric signals of varying strength into movement, was launched in the 1920s.

“It is interesting to note that while the electromagnet part of the speaker was invented as far back as the late 1800s, it took almost a further 50 years for engineers to develop knowledge of acoustics and materials,” Van Lier adds.

Since then, the world of the speaker has grown in leaps and bounds, with stereophonic sound demonstrated back in the 1930s. The need for effective long-distance radio communication during World War II led to many additional advances and by the 1960s, speakers had gone mobile, thanks to everything from basic pocket radios to entire portable turntables with built-in speakers.

The 1970s brought noise reduction technology and a new International Standard in noise reproduction. By the late 20th century, people were talking about ‘tweeters’, ‘woofers’ and ‘sub-woofers.

“Current speakers have evolved from the standard dynamic speaker design that held sway for decades. Flat-panel speakers are designed to decrease the size of speaker boxes; ribbon driven speakers use super-light aluminium foil film as a diaphragm and plasma arc speakers use ionised gas as a diaphragm,” continues Van Lier.

“While there is room for many types of speaker designs, Samsung believes it has created a true next-generation sound with its popular Wireless Audio 360 range, which does more than merely project sound in a single direction. Instead, these exceptional, egg-shaped amplifiers are Omni-directional, capable of filling an entire room with sound, regardless of where the device is placed.”

The Samsung Wireless Audio 360 range offers up to six hours of playing time of realistic HD audio and is able to capture the quality and richness of the original sound with 192 kHz/24-bit sampling. As far as connectivity options go, it offers Wireless LAN, Bluetooth and TV Sound Connect and it can be controlled by mobile devices with the following operating systems: Android 2.3.3 and above and iOS 6.0 and above.
Samsung WAM35001XA Speakers #TheLifesWay #PhotoYatra
Samsung WAM35001XA
“Not only are these speakers unique in being able to disperse sound evenly in all directions, but the distinctive form enables it to fit seamlessly into the décor and design of any home. Furthermore, the speakers can be controlled via an app downloaded to a smartphone, tablet or smartwatch. By focusing on both sound quality and aesthetics, Samsung’s commitment to innovation and design has certainly contributed significantly to the long and glorious history of the speaker,” Van Lier concludes.

The Samsung Wireless Audio 360 speaker models are available at selected Samsung Brand Stores and leading retailers at the following recommended retail prices (RRP):
WAM15001XA - R2999
WAM35001XA - R3699

Product Review - BeoPlay H2 #Headphones @BangOlufsenSA #BeoPlaySA #TheLifesWay

Hi Guys,

Bang and Olufsen has been in the market since 1925 when the company was founded by Peter Bang and Svend Olufsen. The brand has been the pioneers in various products from time to time. The first headphones Bang and Olufsen introduced in 1978 was called U70 and forty years later they are leaders in the niche segment of headphones. They have collaborations with various computer, telecom and automobile brands to use their technology to enhance the end users audio experience across platforms. I have always been a great fan of earphones and headphones. I have bought so many and my luck is like if I win any twitter or facebook contest, the prize from that will be of headphones. Bang and Olufsen is one brand that is still not in my kitty but I would love to have the Active Noise Cancellation ones if given an opportunity. 
Bang and Olufsen H2 Headphones a #thelifesway #photoyatra
Bang and Olufsen introduced H2 designer headphones in 2014 which are designed by Jakob Wagner. I got the review device to test and write about and as soon as I saw the device, I immediately liked it a lot. From the packaging to the end product, you get what you paid for. This one is priced at around R3500 in South African market. 

Bang and Olufsen H2 Headphones b #thelifesway #photoyatra
BeoPlay H2 headphones are available in 5 colors namely Deep Red, Shaded Rosa, Carbon Blue, Silver Cloud and Feldspar Green. I was reviewing the Deep Red colored headphones and the packaging contains the headsets along with a cable with three-button remote and microphone. The buttons can be used to play and pause the track as well as to receive and reject the phone calls on certain iOS devices. The button can increase and decrease the volume also of the music being played. 
Bang and Olufsen H2 Headphones c #thelifesway #photoyatra
Bang and Olufsen H2 weights only 155 grams and sits tight on your ears. They feel comfortable due to its design of the earcups made of genuine lambskin. The left and right is marked on the mesh design of the earcups.The length of the headphones can be adjusted using the push in and out design to sit on your ears. As H2 are On-ear headphones so it becomes a necessity to adjust them properly so as to get a nice noise isolation experience.  The headphones can be rotated to sit around your neck while not in use giving a necklace kind of style with earcups resting on your chest. 
Bang and Olufsen H2 Headphones d #thelifesway #photoyatra
The other side of earcups is made of rugged textile which is also used to cover the top portions of headphones. This is the thing that brings color to these headphones. Though the cloth kind covers will be durable but are susceptible to dust, oil and water. They can easily get dirty if not taken  care or are touched while eating etc. It's this design that brings all the pleasure of buying and spending some extra money on H2. I was thinking that the packaging will also contain some kind of cloth bag to carry headphones around but nothing was included in the review unit. 
Bang and Olufsen H2 Headphones e #thelifesway #photoyatra
The sound quality is produced using the 40mm neodymium magnets which give nice output and pleasure to the ears. Even at top of the volume option on my iPod Shuffle, there was no noise on the headphones. It performed nicely even at low volumes and audio was crisp and clear. The bass is not as much as Beats Solo HD produces but sufficient to give a nice surround sound effect. As they sit comfortable and tightly on you head and ears, they give immersive audio experience which takes you places in your music world. 
Bang and Olufsen H2 Headphones f #thelifesway #photoyatra
In the end, I could not find much difference in audio quality from the cheaper Sennheiser headphone which are one fifth of the price and Bang and Olufsen H2. Though there is significant difference in the style and packaging of the product. There is definitely a market for audiophiles who wants to show what they are wearing around their necks and ears. Bang and Olufsen H2 will take you to an amazing new level of respect among your peers for not compromising on money to get great looking niche headphones. I would love to use these H2 as my day to day headphones and only thing I would love to get from Bang and Olufsen is Android cable included in the packaging and a canvas bag to carry these headphones if I am unable to wear them around my neck.

@HuaweiZA Brings Premium @HarmanKardon #Audio Experience in #M2 MediaPad

Hi Guys, 

Huawei along with Harman/Kardon has launched a Premium Audio Experience in your hands by coming together to launch their new tablet named M2. People using Huawei’s M2 Tablet will have an opportunity to enjoy the rich sonic experience of Harman/Kardon, as the result of a new partnership that integrates that company’s leading audio technology into the 10-inch tablet.
