#TheLifesWayReviews - #UFlex #Bluetooth Headphones @SamsungMobileSA #ProductReview

Hi Friends,

I have been going to all the Samsung activation for Galaxy Studio in Sandton City for many years now and it has increased in the last few years as I moved closer to the area. The first one I went to was for Samsung S5 where they gave me a metallic water bottle with my name written on with S5 Fit Aashish. From that time onwards I made it a point to always attend if I am able to know when it's going to happen and I am free on that weekend. 

2 Years back at the Samsung activation for S9 and S9+ in Sandton City they were giving a tour of the studio and asking some 5 questions at the end of the same. Someone who puts his hands up first will be told to answer and will win a brand new Samsung UFlex Headphones and as I was focussing on getting all the answers registered in my mind, I was the chosen one for the second question and brought home these amazing new Samsung Uflex Bluetooth headphones. Even during S10 and S10+ activations, it was widely distributed on Twitter, Facebook, and Samsung Studio by winning the dancing challenge. 

Samsung UFlex derives its name from the flexible and bendable neckband which sits easily around your neck to bring a great audio experience. The product is not fully bendable and it is suggested that you don't bend it more than 100 degrees than its natural position. I don't think it will be of much concern for a person who is using on a day to day travel or work purposes unless you want to keep them inside some backpack tilting them.

The package includes just the UFlex Bluetooth headphones with 2 wired earbuds connected to the neckband, several silicon ear tips (S, M, L) and a USB cable to charge the headphones. The earbuds are magnetic in nature and when not in use you can attach them together to secure the headphones band in a loop around your neck. There is no other function attached to the magnetic buds like music doesn't stop when it's attached to each other as seen in some of the recent Bluetooth headphones.  

With the motto of Listen to Your Music in Superior Comfort which is enabled by the stable Bluetooth sound over the interface and 2-way speakers which are best in class to produce not only music audio but you can also receive calls. The speakers include the 11mm woofers and 8mm tweeters which will cover a large number of frequency ranges in your favorite music. I really enjoy the fast v4.2 Bluetooth connection with my Samsung Note 8 smartphone showing me the battery levels from time to time and also alerting if I am listening at loud volume. It happens once you cross the volume scale of 60 towards 100.

Samsung devices also have a feature where you can Adapt Sound or Sound Alive to match your profile based on age or you can have a personalized sound profile too. Samsung's scalable codec technology gives a seamless connection on your Bluetooth headphones and these are the only headphones I have in my stable which works even if I change rooms and go in another living room or even to the kitchen in a 2 bedroom apartment across walls. Kudos to Samsung for bringing this technology.

The best part is Dolby Atmos can be enabled which has 4 options to choose from  - Auto, Movie, Music, and Voice which makes the overall listening experience a pleasure for your ears and heart. With an overall weight of just 51 grams, there is no way you will be tired of carrying them. They just come in a single color of Black with dark silver ends which makes them really beautiful. 

Let's come to the functions buttons on either side of the headphones. The left ear side barrel only contains the Samsung logo and a function button which can be customized as per your wish. In my headphones, I have kept it to tell me the time of the day but you can adjust Active Key to Bixby, Timer, Samsung Health, Voice Recorder or any of your favorite app. If you download the Samsung Level app on your smartphone then you can also check Volume Monitor to check your listening fatigue level. I am not a fan of listening in loud volumes so for me it's always low.

The right side has most of the controls from the micro-USB charging port to switching the device ON-OFF and Pairing on the inside flat surface. There is a Play/Pause button on the exact place where the function button is on the left barrel. The right barrel also has volume up and down buttons which can be short pressed to do volume up-down feature and a long press will take you to the previous and next song respectively. The rechargeable Li-ion battery lasts for around 8 hours of play and talk time and can be charged fully in around 2 hours.

Overall these Samsung UFlex headphones will last you long enough if you take care of them properly and can adjust to your audio pleasures as per your requirements. They are not so high on bass but that can be increased using the Sound Alive in the smartphone app. The whole package is priced around R1500 and is available on second-hand stores like Gumtree etc for one-third of the price. The call audio quality is also good and you can use them to attend to receive calls easily. These days we use a lot of Whatsapp calls and it's really easy with these headphones. I think these are more of earphones rather than headphones as told on the package. The noise isolation on these is amazing and you can definitely concentrate on your tasks and activities. I am loving them and surely hope that you will too! 

Namaste!!!

A Memoir - This Month Last Year - Jan 2019 www.thelifesway.com #TheLifesWay #PhotoYatra

Hi Friends,

January 2019 was the time when my blog completed 6 years and I made some resolutions at the start of the year. I followed them sincerely and completed many of them. This year January was the time to meet my family and friends in India as I traveled after a gap of 3 years. My MBA friends made it a point to book an Airbnb in New Delhi and relive the moments with each other. It was one of the most relaxing meets of the decade when all of us met after 13 long years under a single roof. Really grateful to all of them. 

1. #TheLifesWayReviews @iFrogz Coda #Wireless #Headphones with Mic #Music #Calls - http://www.thelifesway.com/2019/01/thelifeswayreviews-ifrogz-coda-wireless.html - iFrogz makes a lot of great audio products and I got this Coda Wireless on-ear headphones and totally loved them. I am a big fan of earphones and headphones and I am attracted to them a lot. Whenever a new one is launched in the market, my first reaction is to have them or at least try them out. I am hooked to the new Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus but I have not even seen the first version of the same. 

2. #TheLifesWayReviews S-Pen Is it a #GameChanger? 11 Features I loved @SamsungMobileSA #GalaxyNote9 - I really loved S-Pen in my Note 8 and when I got the chance to check out the features in Note 9 S Pen, I totally loved the same. Now they have Note 10 also in the market which I have also reviewed and will share the new features on my blog posts soon. S Pen is something that can make your bullet journaling fun on the smartphone.

3. A Memoir - This Month Last Year - Jan 2018 www.thelifesway.com #TheLifesWay - It's been a regular series and remembering the last year and the posts you did nostalgic. I don't want to discontinue this series and may introduce some new series this year. I am focussed on the same and I am also doing what I was not doing earlier - reading books and listening to audiobooks in 2020. 

4. 6 Years of www.TheLifesWay.com #TheLifesWay #Birthday #Blogpost #6YearsofTheLifesWay #1675thPost - I have completed 7 years now and I am on my way to learn new things and fall in love with The Life's Way again and work towards making it to the top. I am going to do it slowly and steadily and you will see the same. 

5. #Technology and #Children - Can They Go Hand in Hand? #Parenting #6YearsofTheLifesWay - Kids are glued to the mobile and TV screens all the time and I have a lot of old devices that are available to them. Though I don't share my current devices with them at all and my family tries to only use the screen time to see the necessary shows and movies and nothing else. Reyansh sees the nursery poems whenever he is eating food.

I hope 2020 to be a year that will bring me a lot of execution of ideas rather than waiting and procrastinating them for the next years. I plan to start working on my Youtube channel and did some initial study on my holidays in India. I am ready and I can't wait anymore to learn new things in life. Also this year I will turn 40 and the time to research ends and now it's time to implement and discover new strengths.

Cheers!!!

High Praise for @SamsungSA #LevelU #Bluetooth #Earphones #PCMagazine

Hi Guys, 

As a bold innovator in audio products, Samsung Electronics South Africa is proud to announce that its Level U earphones have been selected as one of ‘The Best Headphones of 2015’ by PC Magazine. The American IT magazine gave Level U a rating of 4 out of 5 due to its quality audio and reasonable pricing.

“We are privileged to be considered so highly by PC Magazine for the Level U,” says Craige Fleischer, Director of Integrated Mobility at Samsung SA. “It truly is a great choice for high-quality music at an affordable price.”

Style, Comfort and Convenience 

The stylish Samsung Level U wireless earphones are aptly named, with a flexible U-shaped band that sits around the user’s neck. When not in use, the magnetic ear tips connect together, providing neat and convenient storage for the device. 

The ergonomic design of the Level U was created with consumers in mind with its flexible joints to increase around-the-neck comfort. The U-shape neckband also offers the perfect place for the device’s playback control buttons, with easy access to the volume, play/pause, track advance and the user’s phone from easy to use buttons.

Superior Audio Experience

In addition to its chic appearance, the Level U connects to any Bluetooth-enabled device to deliver uncompromised clear sound, making it the ideal choice for music on the go. The wireless earphones come with 12mm speaker units to offer high-quality output with generous bass and brilliant highs.

When calls are made using Level U, the dual-microphone noise reduction and echo cancellation ensure that outside sound interference and feedback is reduced, giving the users the uncompromised conversation they require. With a battery life of up to 10 hours of music play – 11 hours talk time – the Level U is the perfect companion for music lovers and busy conversationalists alike.

“This addition to the Level series cements our dedication to providing our consumers with the opportunity to luxuriate themselves in the benefits of technology designed for everyday life,” concludes Fleischer.

I would love to use these earphones if given a chance to do so. Till that time, I will continue to use Bose or Sony earphones I always carry in my laptop bag. 

Cheers!!!
