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

 Hi Friends, 

August is the month of birthdays in our family where a lot of them come in a single month and the festivities keep on going in the full steam. A new member also got added in 2020 in the form of a baby boy as my brother's son and he was born between his birthday and his daughter's birthday. Now all of them will have the same star sign of LEO.  

1. Score a Once in a Lifetime Experience with @Cadbury_SA @PremierLeague Live in UK #CadburyTasteTheAction -  Cadbury's launched their Premier League campaign last year where you can buy some of their products and participate to win a golden ticket to see the live matches in the United Kingdom. Last year I was invited to the launch event but this year I was sent a mystery pack right before the virtual launch event which is going to be held soon. Check out the unboxing video on my youtube channel. 

2. #TheLifesWayReviews @SonyElectronics RX100 VI Premium Compact #Camera #vLogging - Sony Electronics sent me this premium compact camera for the review and I took the same on my trip to Dullstroom and took amazing photos and videos during the last Summer season. I am really grateful to Sony for always creating something unique and amazing products from time to time. 

3.  #TheLifesWayReviews @BodyGlove Mini Earbuds #Bluetooth @Gammatek #bodyglove #GammaTek - GammaTek brings a lot of products to the local South African market and is known for all the Funko Pops in the market which people love to collect at all the Comic Cons and rAge events. I received this fantastic Mini Earbuds which I have used extensively daily till the time Huawei sent me their FreeBuds3 at the start of the lockdown in March 2020. These are really nice, but the problem faced now is that sound during a call only comes out of a single earbuds and not from both which is really irritating, so I have almost stopped using them but do charge them from time to time. 

4. #TheLifesWayReviews @Xiaomi Mi Band 2 #SmartBand @TheGearbest #HealthyLiving - Xiaomi stuff gets sold via The Gearbest website as soon as it's launched as compared to the local retailer The Core Group at iStore and also they have their own MIA Africa website too. I received this Mi Band 2 as a part of the affiliate program at The Gearbest which I only used once and then couldn't work on the same. My daughter was using the same till her birthday this year when the band started to crack and cut in half so I gifted her a new Huawei Band 4e for her use which has very fewer features as compared to Mi Band 2 but she is happy for the time being. 

5. Exploring Mega Construx™ Crystal Creatures™ Series 1 @MegaConstrux @Mattel #CrystalCreaturesSA - This was the first time when we shot the video for Keisha unboxing and since then now she has her own Youtube Channel named - KEISHA & YOU. Please do subscribe and like the videos and if you want to send her stuff to unbox and share with the community, kindly contact me at thelifesway@gmail.com. 

Thanks to all the brands for sending their press drops and media invites. I hope it brings them joy as much it brings me to be onboarded and share all the experiments I do with their products and services from time to time. Recently, I have started a lot of video product reviews too on my Instagram channel IGtv mainly and also on my youtube channels. Enjoy and do give in your comments from time to time. 

Cheers!!!

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

Hi Friends, 

May is one of the months where the blog business picks us really fast as you get to review a lot of products and you try to match the fast pace of new product launches. Also, with me I take a lot of time thinking about the product rather than putting it into words and my focus levels was not sharp too in that month in 2019 but then also because of sheer determination, I could achieve a lot of self-written posts on my blog. 

1. #TheLifesWayReviews @SamsungMobileSA #GalaxyNote8 Phablet #Smartphone #DoBiggerThings #WithGalaxy - https://www.thelifesway.com/2019/05/thelifeswayreviews-samsungmobilesa.html - I bought this smartphone when I completed 10 years in my company and at the birth of my son in 2018 and I am still using this as my main device. Now in May 2020, the Samsung Note 8 smartphone gets switched off at battery capacity of 30% meaning it only works from 100% to 31% battery levels. Let's see how much longer I can hold on to the same. 

2. #TheLifesWayReviews @SonyElectronics SRS-XB31 #Bluetooth #Speakers #HelloSonyZA #srsXB31 - https://www.thelifesway.com/2019/05/thelifeswayreviews-sonyelectronics-srs.html - Sony Electronics sent me this speaker to review and I totally fell in love with the flash lightings on the entire body of the speakers. Sony audio needs no introduction at all. 

3. #TheLifesWayReviews @BodyGlove Airstream #Bluetooth Earphones @Gammatek #bodyglove #GammaTek - https://www.thelifesway.com/2019/05/thelifeswayreviews-bodyglove-airstream.html - I received these Bluetooth earphones to use and review but sooner than later these were not working at all and got a second piece and that too broke in no time so that was the end of this model for me. 

4. Planning Our #RoadTrip to the #GardenRoute With Parents @Travelstart #PE #CapeTown #Johannesburg - https://www.thelifesway.com/2019/05/planning-our-roadtrip-to-gardenroute.html - We also took a trip to Garden Route in 2019 and here is a brief blog post about the planning stage of the trip and the path we took in the best 9 days of my life. 

5. A Memoir - This Month Last Year - Apr 2018 www.thelifesway.com #TheLifesWay

A Memoir - This Month Last Year - May 2018 www.thelifesway.com #TheLifesWay - My posts really provide me with a kind of annual mapping of what to do and what not to do when I see them after a span of one year. From this year my focus is going to be posting more of self-written content rather than press releases. 

6. #TheLifesWayGoals - @Walkthetalk_ #MTN702WALK 25Kms on 28th July 2019 - Planning #HuaweiHealth

#TheLifesWayGoals @Walkthetalk_ #MTN702WALK #Target25km 28Jul19 - Week 1 #HuaweiHealthSA

#TheLifesWayGoals @Walkthetalk_ #MTN702WALK #Target25km 28Jul19 - Week 2 #HuaweiHealthSA

#TheLifesWayGoals @HuaweiZA #MTN702WALK #Target25km 28Jul19 - Week 3 #HuaweiWatchGT - The biggest project undertook last year was preparing myself for the 25km walk on my birthday with the help of Huawei Watch GT and Sony Headphones which was with me for a month or so, I wrote several posts from the planning stage to the final achieving of the goal. Thanks to Huawei for sponsoring the Watch GT which is still on my hands and clocked 180kms walk in April 2020 but the loops broke that month and I am on a jugaad to put a rubber band to hold the watch. 

I will do a lot of review posts in May 2020 too and let's finish all the pending ones asap and clear my mind of all the clutter it is causing because of not able to finish these posts.

Sawubona!

#TheLifesWayReviews @BodyGlove Mini Earbuds #Bluetooth @Gammatek #bodyglove #GammaTek

Hi Friends, 

I love earphones and I attract them in my life more than anything else. If I participate in any contest the prize will be earphones or headphones and if I get a goodies bag there it will be some kind of earphones and headphones. If I go to some event or expo, there also I will get a lot of cheap earphones at the various stalls. My life it seems is revolving around all kinds of earphones - cheaps ones to the expensive ones for review. 

I received these Body Glove Mini Bluetooth Earbuds from Gammatek as a replacement for my Airstream earphones which was not working perfectly. And man these ones are on my ears since the day it arrived. I wear it all the time, in office, during my practice walks for 25kms and in the actual 25km walk. These are really some great earphones in a small package when I first saw them, I didn't think them to become so close to my heart. 

Let's see these earphones in a detailed review on my blog and all the photos are taken using the Canon 77D Camera on my desk at home. The first thing to observe is the small charging case which can also keep the earphones inside while you travel or to carry with you and to recharge in case the battery dies on them after use. The charging case has built-in 300mAh Li-Polymer battery which can easily charge the 48mAh earbuds max 3 times fully in around 1 and half hour. The charging case is charged using the MicroUSB cable and a red light shows the same. There are also holes at the top of the charging case to show that earbuds are also getting charged. Once earbuds are fully charged, the light on the top turns itself off.

These Body Glove earbuds are Bluetooth v4.2 enabled with HSP, HFP, A2DP and AVRCP profiles supported. The operating range for these earbuds is only 10 meters as compared to others where it's marked at 30 meters. But I think it's kept small to keep the earbuds close to your devices. The music playback time which I could get on these earbuds is around 2 hours 30 minutes on a full charge. My 15km walk generally takes me around 3 hours to complete and in one charge I can easily come back on this BodyGlove Earbuds. You can accept the calls also on this device and on my earbuds, I can only listen on the right side earbuds and nothing comes on the left side. I am not sure if this is the defective piece or these are built that way. 

Using Body Glove Mini Bluetooth Earbuds is easy as it will turn automatically ON when taken out from the charging case and also turns themselves OFF when inserted back into the charging case and closing the lid. The earbuds are equipped with Multi-function buttons (MFB) and you can do several operations using the same. Switch them ON and OFF by pressing them for 2 seconds. The right and left earbuds always play a voice prompt to tell that they are ready to be connected to your smartphones or whatever Bluetooth enabled gadget you are using. You can use these earbuds to answer or reject a call, increase volume up and down, skipping to previous and next songs, pausing and playing the music along with resetting all pairing records to start afresh. These earbuds are only 4.6 grams each and total weight will be 41 grams.

In the last let's come down to the audio performance as that's the main thing these earbuds are built for. The earbuds are powered using 6mm drivers with impedence of 16 Ohms and sensitivity of 90+-3dB. The driver frequency range will be 20-20kHz as generally mentioned for all these earbuds and headphones. The earbuds have a balanced sound and really gives a solid impact on your ears. It's not bass boosted but has a little bit of the same in the right amount. It's like a surround sound effect using both the earbuds positioned rightly into your ears. In this small package, the audio effects on these earbuds are amazingly great. I totally fell in love with these and these are my carryable earbuds in my pockets all the time. Thanks to Body Glove and Gammatek for sending the same. 

Cheers!!!

#TheLifesWayReviews @BodyGlove Airstream #Bluetooth Earphones @Gammatek #bodyglove #GammaTek

Hi Friends,

Gammatek is the only importer who is bringing the nicest of the technology from various parts of the world to South Africa and selling it through it's online and retail partner stores. I have been aware of some of the brands like Zagg, Snug, Body Glove since 2010 when I was in London and saw these products on Amazon.com and really tried to win them too in some of their contests during Easter and Christmas season. Gammatek gave me a chance to do the same by sending me a product for review and to keep the same if I like it.

Body Glove is one of the biggest accessories maker brands who make several mobile cases for all types of popular smartphones. I received their Airstream Bluetooth Earphones which I not only loved but used them in my day to day life too. The case of these earphones was the most unique thing about this product. It can not only charge those earphones but also can charge your smartphone or any other device using the USB port built into the case. It has a 2800mAh battery which can surely charge any smartphone to its 50-75% capacity in extreme conditions.

The audio quality of Body Glove earphones is really good. It's clear and rich audio sound quality brings not only great music but also helpful during calls. The Bluetooth connectivity is really easy and fast using 4.1 version. The earbuds fit nicely into your ears and give decent noise isolation too. The specifications said it gives up to 3 hours play time and 3.5 hours talk time in case of hands-free calls. I could use these earbuds for at least 2 hours 30 minutes without any problems but the best part is that these can be charged again and again using the charging case provided on the run. I really loved the audio performance and call quality despite their invisible size which easily fits inside your ears.

Airstream has 2 earplugs for both sides of the ears and independent of each other. You can use either one of them if not using both. They get charged in their own independent shell inside the case. Unluckily for me, the review unit I received was not able to charge left side of the earphones and I got a replacement unit in 2 days delivered to my home. As I was using the replacement earphones, the attachment pasted using the adhesive came out on one of the earphones and I had to totally return the product to the Gammatek head office in Johannesburg. The brand sent me a newer version of their earphones which will be discussed in another blog post soon.

This is one of the rare occasions when I found myself so unlucky with BodyGlove Airstream earphones I loved because it has a unique case, can charge my other devices, I don't need to carry power bank and earphones separately, can keep them in my jeans pockets, can just throw them in my backpack and travel far and wide while enjoying the music and talking to friends and relatives using a single device. But the biggest risk is that if you lose the charging case, you won't be able to charge the earbuds in any other way.

Cheers!!!
