Product Review - Skullcandy Titan Supreme Sound Earphones

Hi Guys,

After my experience with Skullcandy Rock headphones, it's my time to meet the in-earphones with mic from the house of Skullcandy. They come in painted metal housing and looks pretty cool in bronze color.
They are priced around R220 in DionWired but on their website the same was offered at more than 50% discount.
Having a great sounding earphones with MIC is an added advantage. These earphones produces a lot of bass above and over the natural sound. The earbuds looks heavy due to it's metallic touch but are not heavy at all. They are comfortable to wear for longer durations too.
They comes with a small metal case to carry the earbuds around saving them from wear and tear.
The whole touch and feel of the earphones is worth it's value and Skullcandy has always been a fashion brand in this industry offering a lot of choices to it's young customers.
Based on the sound quality, they are similar to my Sennheiser Adidas CX310 with a lot of bass added on to them. They are comfortable to wear and offers mic functionality which makes them great at this price range.

The control functions works with all of the Apple devices and android smartphones.

If you are really looking for good earphones around R100 check if there are some available at any of the DionWired stores and pick one for future use or for gifting someone.

Cheers!!!

Product Review - GAME - MyLight Wireless 12 LED Lamp

Hi Guys,

I keep checking various stores from the Walmart group which are here in Johannesburg and keep visiting GAME to check on the deals or reduced to go sale. Most of the items I buy here are from DionWired or Makro but now GAME has also been added to this list. These deals are not shown in their catalogs or sale items which really make me go visit the stores and check the special desks kept for reduced to go items.

I always wanted to have some white light as the bulbs installed in my home throw yellowish light. I came across a nice looking LED Lamp in GAME which was priced at ZAR 80. On my next visit to the store, the price was reduced to ZAR 60 making it a good deal.
The Mushroom shaped lamp comes in 4 colors - White, Black, Green and Pink. I chose the Black color as I really loved it.

The device runs on three AA sized batteries and has a touch button which switched on-off the lamp. 
 
The 12 LED lights glows and gives enough light to read on your kindle or books, work on your laptop and also helps me when I don't want to come out of my duvet early mornings and want light to wake me up.It is a multi-purpose device which can also work as a Lampshade on the side of your beds.

It is really a good China made product and the quality is nice. I hope it will serve my time here and thereafter. I also hope the DURACELL batteries delivers the same performance as it promises.This product is definitely a BUY and you can use it anywhere you want to.

Just saw the same lamp in SHERLOCK Season 3 episode 2 at around 45 min when Sherlock and John are shown drinking beer at several places and in one of the tables, the same lamp is lighting the table.

Cheers!!!

Promotional Goodies - Canon Printers & Cameras

Hi Guys,

Canon has been a competition to the Nikon in their DSLR range of cameras and it's on the personal choice of the amateur or professional photographer which one he likes the best. I don't have any DSLR from any of the two brands at the moment but I do have a lot of promotional goodies from both the brands. 

Makro is the gaint retail outlet in South Africa, it's the Walmart of SA and it's run by them only. Walmart has three brands here in SA - Makro, GAME and Dion Wired. Makro do offers a lot of deals from time to time and I have always benefitted from them. I did bought my iPAD3 32gb wifi at the lowest price possible from there in one of their clearances sale. 

Last time I was at Makro, Canon DSLR Cameras and Home Photo Printers had setup a canopy showcasing their products and also offered to get yourself clicked by their 650D camera. They then were printing your snaps using the small printer and was giving them out to you as hard copy. As I love myself much more than anything else so I never let go of any such chances where someone is so ready to take photographs of me.

I brought more of my friends to get their snaps clicked also and Canon offered me a great Muffin from Fournos Bakery along with a goodie bag for my gesture towards their setup. Goodies bag included a cap, notepad and a pen endorsed by Canon in their Red and white colours.

Thanks a lot Canon and looking forward to getting a DSLR sponsored so that I can tag the same in all my posts and keep up the brands flag flying high. Follow then on twitter for a lot of contests and prizes @Canon_SA

Cheers!!!

Product Review – Seagate Expansion Desktop Drive – 3 TB @Seagate

Hi People, 

I have been always a data cruncher which means no matter what’s the source, I want all the data downloaded on my laptop. Due to this tendency, I have always been short of hard disk space. As in South Africa, Internet usage is the most expensive thing to do and you will be sharing the movies/music or other important data only using your portable HDD's or ever-increasing capacities of pen drives. 

My journey with portable hard disks started when my brother gifted me his 40GB HDD from his Sony Playstation 3 and replaced the PS3 with 200 GB one way back in 2009. It was good to have and really sorted out my need at that point in time but as HD data started to come into the market, so was the need to store the same. 
I bought a Transcend 640 GB HDD on my birthday from Nehru Place, New Delhi, India and took the same to London. It was working fine but one day when I was copying some 100GB of songs from a friends laptop, it got corrupted and since then it's not been working. I have contacted customer care but all they say is that your cable is not right whereas I am using the supplied cable. Pathetic! Never ever I thought I will buy Transcend ever again. 
I was in London and Curry's offered a deal on Western Digital Elements portable 1 TB HDD and I bought it in 2010. I do think about it as it was more of an American brand which was not much popular in India and the UK. But nevertheless, I bought it and made my friends bought the same also. I blogged about the same here and it's one of my top posts. It's working perfectly well and in full capacity but then I wanted more data to be stored. The more you capture photographs or video's, the more you require disk space in your laptop or HDD. All my multimedia devices were full and took a long time to start also. 
Hence the decision to buy Seagate Expansion Desktop Drive with 3 TB HDD capacity so that I can just dump everything in one corner of my room and if required can refer back to the same. 
It's an awesome and beautiful device which offers 2.72 TB of space to users. The transfer speed is based on USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 connections. It took some time to transfer data but all my devices are able to breathe freely now with much more memory available for Operating systems to do their cleaning and regular stuff. 
I got this one from an electronics store - DION WIRED which offered the same on sale at R1400 from its regular price of R1900. It was much cheaper here as compared to the Indian market and my friend immediately wanted one for his Nikon D600 photography and his trip to GIR National Park where he captured 72GB of images in a span of 2-3 days. His camera is featured on my blog here. 

The online reviews for this HDD are not so great but I need to try it further to believe in them. Till that time, I am taking it ahead with my gut feeling and copying all my personal stuff etc in the same. I hope Seagate has not lost out on customer grievances as Transcend and will fully replace my device in case something crashes, unlike Transcend where that 640GB HDD is kissing the dust in my store at Gurgaon. 

Cheers!!!

Product Review - Harman Kardon CL Headphones

Hi Guys, 

Headphones is one thing that I love a lot and always in search to try a lot of them till the time I find my perfect partner. I am not a loyal to any one company in terms of headphones but I do have Sennheiser, Bose, Sony, HP, Philips and many more. I will keep looking for the best one till I get one for my personal use and not just to review :-)

Harman Kardon CLassic is a niche brand of headphones and comes in a big box with metallic body and a cable with built in audio controls and voice. This cable can be used with iPhones for voice calling too. It also comes with extra large sized metallic headband so that the user can use the headphones as per your head size. 

These headphones are priced at around Rs 9000 in India on flipkart ( amazon) and produces a rich and awesome sound. They ear cushions are soft and the headphones are heavy with it's metallic console and headband. They fit nicely over the ears and gives you a kind of noise isolation too.

But due to their metallic design and heavy weight you may feel tired to listen to these ones for longer period of time. It happens in day to day use that you want something light to carry around the ears. 

These Harman Kardon headphones comes with a nice leather cover to pack your heaphones and they fit into the pouch horizontally due to the amazing flat design. They really look great and fits into that price bracket perfectly well. 

These headphones came to me only for review and I had to return the model within a day as I ordered them on behalf of my friend who was looking for some nice deal on headphones and I told him to buy these and got it for 50% discount on Cyber Monday deal from DionWired (@DionWired). At that price these are the best he can get. Happy Listening! 

Cheers!!!
