Spoil Yourself this Holiday with #HUAWEIFreeBudsLipstick Now Available @HuaweiZA

Hi Friends, 

For many of us, it’s been a tricky year. The pandemic still isn’t quite done and dusted (thanks, Omicron) and continues to affect both our personal and professional lives. Whether you’re studying or working, you’re probably bouncing between working in the office and working remotely, while still trying to balance the demands of a busy, often unpredictable, life.

As you prepare to gear down and take a proper break this festive season, why not give yourself a special, practical – and absolutely beautiful – treat? The HUAWEI FreeBuds Lipstick is now available in-store in South Africa and is ready to enhance not only your studying and working life but your listening experience, too. Let’s learn a little bit more about what these new earphones are all about.

Beauty inside and out

It’s the design of the newly launched HUAWEI FreeBuds Lipstick that you’ll notice first. Boasting a unique and striking appearance, the HUAWEI FreeBuds Lipstick looks just like a stick of lipstick.

Designed by a team from Huawei’s aesthetic research centre in Paris, the minimalist design of the HUAWEI FreeBuds Lipstick design includes a chic black and gold charging case, with two red earphones inside. The overall look is sophisticated and sure to draw admiring gazes.

The exterior is made of stainless steel, which means that it’s immune to scratches and wear and tear, and looks and feels incredible, too. Having a product that’s so enjoyable to touch, doesn’t come easy though.

The HUAWEI FreeBuds Lipstick’s surface polishing has to go through three processes of rough polishing, medium polishing and fine polishing to look the way it does. The luxury-grade stainless steel body is built on 30 intricately engineered design processes and polished to an ultra-high level, producing a surface as smooth as a mirror. Its clean lines and gentle arcs also help to make it look sleek and elegant.

The HUAWEI FreeBuds Lipstick case comes with a magnetic design that has a unique “click” sound. There are two built-in magnets in the cover and the bottom of HUAWEI FreeBuds Lipstick, and these connect to the micro-magnets in the earphones themselves, ensuring that they are safe whenever you put them away.

Hearing is believing

The HUAWEI FreeBuds Lipstick combines industry-leading technology for open-fit earphones, including active noise cancellation, AEM technology, and a comfortable design to create a listening experience that has to be heard to be believed.

The sound performance of open-fit earphones, such as the HUAWEI FreeBuds Lipstick, can be affected by your ear canal size and how you wear them. Ensuring consistent and excellent sound quality has therefore always been a difficulty in these sorts of earphones.

With AEM technology, however, the earphones automatically detect your ear canal shape and the wearing conditions, before assigning the best EQ setting based on several data sets. AEM technology effectively compensates for the audio difference caused by the size of your ear canal or wearing condition to make sure your music always sounds exactly as it should. HUAWEI FreeBuds Lipstick also supports three modes of EQ, balanced, bass boost, and treble boost, which you can choose between.

Go on, you deserve something special after such a hectic year. 

The HUAWEI FreeBuds Lipstick is available now on the Huawei Store (online) for R3,999.

Cheers!!!

HUAWEI FreeBuds Lipstick: Don’t Miss out on this Iconic Design and Limited-edition Gift @HuaweiZA #FreeBudsLipstick

Hi Friends, 

Dynamite comes in small packages, so they say – and it’s certainly true of this small package. Open it up and inside you will find the brand-new HUAWEI FreeBuds Lipstick, a pair of earphones of unparalleled style and quality that are sure to blow you away.

Created at Huawei’s aesthetic research centre in Paris, the HUAWEI FreeBuds Lipstick is designed to look exactly like a stick of lipstick. Its exquisite workmanship makes a true fashion statement and signifies a new trend in ultra-chic design.

The HUAWEI FreeBuds Lipstick comes in a luxury-grade stainless steel body that uses sophisticated production processes to create a polished, smooth and mirror-like surface. The polishing process involves rough polishing, medium polishing, and fine polishing, as well as manual polishing and high-temperature cleaning. The exterior also has a special coating to ensure that it is immune to scratches and that the colour remains consistent and long-lasting.

The design also comprises rounded arcs and delicate fine lines that are both beautiful to look at and comfortable to hold, making the final product sleek, elegant and minimalist.

The HUAWEI FreeBuds Lipstick combines three rich colours: the luxurious black and gold of the charging case with the deep red of the earbuds themselves. The charging case uses magnets to keep the earphones firmly in place: there are two magnets in the bottom of the case and the earphones are equipped with micro-magnets.

Of course, true to Huawei form, the quality of the earphones is as exceptional from an audio perspective as they are from a design perspective. The earphones offer active noise cancellation, AEM technology, and a comfortable design to create a truly mind-blowing listening experience.

The HUAWEI FreeBuds Lipstick automatically detects your ear canal shape and then assigns the best EQ settings accordingly. AEM technology compensates for the audio difference caused by the size of ear canals or wearing conditions to make sure the sound is always of superior quality. HUAWEI FreeBuds Lipstick supports three modes of EQ: balanced, bass boost and treble boost. You can choose between these three modes for a more personalised listening experience.

The open-fit earphones offer a pleasant wearing experience, ensuring that you’re less likely to feel a build-up of pressure inside your ears. This design also allows for better ventilation to balance the pressure in your ear canals, allowing long-time wearing.

With its exquisite aesthetics and impressive technical specifications, the HUAWEI FreeBuds Lipstick makes for the perfect gift this festive season. It also comes in a special scented gift box, making the experience of unwrapping it even more special – for you or the person you’re giving it to.

The HUAWEI FreeBuds Lipstick is now available on pre-order. Get an exclusive R500 coupon by paying a deposit of R999 from 10 to 13 December and pay the balance of R3000 from 14 December. Ts&Cs apply.

Samsung Galaxy Buds Live - Beans At It's Musically Best #ProductReview @SamsungMobileSA #GalaxyBudsLive

Hi Friends, 

Samsung Galaxy Buds Live has a unique shape and since the launch event on 5-Aug-2020 I wanted to have them in my kitty and it came true on Christmas 2020 when Samsung South Africa sent me an annual gift for the first time for all the support I did for the brand on my blog posts. I was really happy to receive the same in Mystic Bronze colour and grateful to Samsung for fulfilling my untold wish. 

Samsung Galaxy Buds Live design amazed the world with its unique iconic design and immediately after the launch event, people started mapping it to various shapes especially kidney beans. When the whole world is travelling the stem earphones route, Samsung broke the barriers for a new shape never seen before. I really love the comfort and fit Buds Live brings to my ears with its ergonomic design. The next thing is the bling that Mystic Bronze colour brings and the people immediately recognizes that these are Samsung Galaxy Buds Live. With a glossy finish on one end, the earbuds are packaged in a jewellery-box styled square charging case with 50mm length and breadth and the height of the box is around 28mm which is really great to open and close. The magnets are strong and keep the earbuds secure even if you try to shake the open case. It also comes in Mystic White and Mystic Black colour which I have not seen much because everyone wants this Mystic Bronze I think. Also, there are no buttons anywhere on the case and earbuds are touch-sensitive so everything is controlled via the Galaxy Wearables app or the touch. More about the app in the review later on. 

Instead of having silicone earbuds, Galaxy Buds Live has wingtips sizes (1 extra in the pack along with a USB type C charging cable) coming in the package that also secures in your ears. I never faced a problem of them falling even if I am running but may happen if you touching them, again and again, to increase/decrease the volume or to change songs etc. If you are touching them with force, also you need to adjust them so that they don't fall. The earbuds only weigh 5.6 grams and the charging case is 42.2 grams. The battery capacity of each earbud is 60mAh and the case has 472mAh of reserved power which charges the buds around 3.5 times fully. The Galaxy Buds Live are fast charging enabled where 5 minutes of charging can provide for 60 minutes of playback. As per Samsung, each earbud can last for 6 hours of continuous playback of music with ANC off and the charging case will provide for 15 hours totalling 21 hours in a single charge. The case has wireless charging where you can charge the earbuds using the Galaxy smartphone with wireless reverse charging. 

Each earbud has 12mm speakers with sound by AKG not forgetting that part to bring you a whole range of frequencies to cover low to high clear notes. The earbuds also have a bass duct to get that dhinchak effect in your ears. Air vents provide the necessary space to reduce blockage and putting unnecessary pressure on your ears. The earbuds also have 3 built-in mics - the glossy end has 2 and one on the rear side touching your ears along with a voice pickup unit. This setup takes the vibrations from your jaws to enhance the sound quality when you are on call etc. The touch on the earbuds is really responsive and can work even if you are wearing a buff as in South Africa, many people use Buff as their face mask. I use a buff to keep my neck covered during winters and sometimes takes it up to cover my ears too. Overall, Galaxy Buds Live has around 7 sensors which include an accelerometer, IR, hall, touch, grip, gyro and voice pickup unit. A single tap play and pause track, double-tap can play next track or can be used to answer or end the call, triple tap play previous track whereas touch and hold can be customized to users choice (ANC, Bixby, Volume up/down, Spotify) or to decline the call. 

Samsung Galaxy Buds Live also comes with ANC i.e. Active Noise Cancellation in an open type earbuds design. ANC provides some kind of isolation to your ears but you have to wear both earbuds to enable the ANC feature. There is a sound made every time you switch ON or OFF the ANC. Also, it only provides the basic ANC and is not as strong as you might expect from the in-ear earbuds because they already isolate a lot of noise using the earbuds stem going into the ears canals. In Galaxy BudsLive the ANC switches off very little noise from the surroundings but depending on where you are using them, it will provide some form of noise cancellation and will have ambient noise coming to you too. There is no way in the app to control the level of ANC as seen in the newer versions of Galaxy Buds. 

All wireless earbuds need seamless connections between all the devices you use your earbuds on and Buds Live has Bluetooth v5.0 supporting A2DP, AVRCP, HFP and I didn't face any problem in connecting them to my laptop, Galaxy smartphone as well as the other branded smartphones. The earbuds are compatible with Android v5.0 onwards and iOS 10 upwards.  

Let's talk about all the features available in the Samsung Galaxy Wearable app from where you can control these kidney beans shaped earbuds. Touch controls can be set to 4 options - ANC, Bixby, Volume Up/Down, Spotify. You can also block the touch completely in case you want to and in that case all controls need to be done via the paired device. The equalizers that are present in settings are 6 - Normal, Bass Boost, Soft, Dynamic, Clear and Treble Boost. Find my earbuds is another feature that helps you find them as earbuds start making chirpy sounds if one or both are lost somewhere under your sofa and are still able to get connected to the main device. Labs provide the gaming mode which really minimises the audio delay for a great gaming sound experience. It also has an option to relieve the pressure with ambient sound to ease the feeling of compression when wearing the earbuds without the ANC feature ON. 

In the end, I started using them as soon I received them and totally fell in love with the design and quality of the earbuds. I totally loved the features as BudsLive was the first one of the whole series that I received as I had never used the Buds or Buds+ earlier in my life. Buds and Buds+ are still something I have never used but I have used the Samsung uFlex headsets (over the neck). I found the dynamic equalizer for my taste to listen to all the Bollywood music and other audiobooks and even during watching web series etc on Galaxy Buds Live. Though it didn't have the ambient noise feature of the previous generation but due to its comfortable size and fit, you will be able to listen to the other person voice with some kind of concentration and music being stopped. I have used them continuously while trying to complete all the episodes of various web series in a single go and easily lasted me for around 5 hours of non-stop audio. The case keeps providing power to make earbuds reach 100% while its battery decreases over time but I found that I didn't need to charge them for around a week based on all my listenings. 

I have stopped using the earbuds as much because I didn't walk for many months in the evenings due to being Corona Postive and weakness thereafter but I used them to connect to my laptop to attend office teams calls and other WhatsApp calls. Also, I never took them to the road when I used to go for long walks as anyone can easily recognize them and may try to snatch and grab so I never took that risk. I found that my voice goes clearly to the person I am talking to and these are really great for your day to day use. Overall, I am very happy with the performance of Galaxy BudsLive and this will remain in my Tech Museum for their unique design and for being the first of the Galaxy Buds series which I used in my life. I have always longed for Galaxy Buds, Galaxy Icon and many other released before these but finally, my draught was fulfilled by Samsung for the Farewell 2020 gifts. Thanks to Samsung South Africa for this lovely gift in Mystic Bronze colour. If you have any queries on these earbuds, please do connect with me on Youtube comments or you can comment here too. 

Cheers!!!

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.

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.

ColorBuds Brings a Musically Colorful Experience to Your Ears @1MoreAfrica #ColorBuds #HearMore #ProductReview

Hi Friends, 

Luck plays a lot of role in your life and when Universe is happy - you get more of the same or in the language of the law of attraction, you attract those things more and more. I remember the first time I bought my wired earphones, I was looking at the budget and especially the shape of the product too as I didn't want the old looking shape which was quite popular long back in 2007 or so.

In the last, 13 years I have owned a lot and seen the earphones/headphones go from wired to wireless to each earbuds operating separately and doing so many functions at the touch of your hands. The Bluetooth wireless earbuds industry has expanded like anything and a lot of new players have established themselves by giving great products to the customers who believe in them while attracting many more via word of mouth and reviews of the products. 

I too have been part of this industry as I kept on investing in a lot of earbuds and headphones from time to time and since last year I have been trying to get hold of the brand named 1More who also excelled in marketing their products on social media platforms which really caught my attention. After pursuing them for about a year or so for their Stylish Earbuds, I finally received these 1More ColorBuds - the new upgraded model in the True Wireless In-ear headphones category for this review and to enjoy them on my day to day living afterward. I am so grateful to the Syntech SA for sending the same and for introducing me to the world of 1MORE Audio products. 

Coming back to the product in hand, 1More ColorBuds, comes in these 4 stylish colors from Midnight Black, Twilight Gold, Sakura Pink, and Spearmint Green that not only fit easily in your ears but also give great audio performance too. Let's take you through all the features which I totally fell in love with and also thought to be considered with the firmware upgrade or in the next editions of the earphones. 

1. Packaging - The first thing which attracts anyone or the youngsters is the packaging when they first see the product range on the aisle of the electronics and music shops like Musica or specialty stores like Incredible Connection. When I opened the packet for the first time, I immediately felt the packaging quality to be good, and also the outside print matches the earbuds color you are buying. I received them in Midnight Black color and the packaging showed the same too. The package contains the charging case, earbuds left and right side, 3 pairs of extra silicone tips (XS, S, L), a USB Type C charging cable, and a special sticker along with the instruction manuals. 

2. Charging Case - As you further delve into the package, you will get to the charging case, and looking at the size you will feel that somehow the earbuds are missing and this is not it, you will not believe the size and form factor of the case can give such a great output to last around 22 hours on a single charge. Sometimes, I feel that I have lost the case in my jeans pockets because of it's silky, glossy feel that I didn't even realize that they are still there. The case weight is only 33 grams and along with both the buds its around 41 grams. Moreover, the case comes with the new USB Type-C which is really helpful as I can charge the same using any of my smartphone cables which are already plugged in on my table forever. The charging case also has a LED showing how much left is the case battery capacity as you open the case cover. Red means low, orange means medium, and green indicates full battery. The case sends out several Red LED alerts when you put the earbuds pack to show that it's low in battery or also when you take them out but it seems I have missed them all as I directly take the earbuds out and start enjoying the audiobooks as I am always on this mission to complete them. The charging case also has a pairing button inside the case between the space between the earbuds which also does certain functions of paring and resetting the earbuds from various smartphones. 

3. Earbuds Design - The case contains the earbuds which are marked to go into the particular side of the ears. The buds are really lightweight with each measuring only 4.1grams and have a rubbery/silicon side touching your ears along with the noise-isolating earbuds entering your ear canals. The best part is earbuds turn automatically ON as you take them out of the case. Similarly, when you put them back in the case and close the lid, they start charging via the charging case built-in battery.  I didn't face any problem of falling them out of the ears in any of the totals of 60-75kms of daily walks/running done with them since I started using them. The only little thing I faced is silicon earbuds getting retracted and immediately coming back to the original position because of their elasticity while taking out of my ears and I am sure that is because I never switched the same to the other buds for the right size as I felt these Medium one great too in my ears. 

The earbuds come with IPX5 water and sweat resistance so you can easily wear them to the gym, running, and walks but not swimming ofcourse. The earbuds also have an infra-red sensor that helps in the Smart Playback feature which can be enabled via the app and when you take them out it stops the music playback immediately and automatically starts it once they are secured in your ears again. The touch panels on the earbuds are really responsive and do what you intend to do with the right amount of taps. The earbuds also have a microphone for environmental noise reduction as well as a talking mic for all your audio phone calls and virtual meetings on Zoom and MS Teams too. The earbuds has 3 pin charging points that settles on the tips inside the case for easy touch and recharge. 

4. Battery - The charging case battery capacity is around 410mAh which can easily charge both the earbuds for around 3-3.5x times to their full capacity giving you an audio performance of around 22 hours. Both the earbuds have a battery capacity of 55mAh and last for around 6 hours in a single charge. It easily lasts all the web series I watch non-stop or as they call them binge-watch and only once I faced an issue where I had to stop and charge them for a while before moving forward and that was because I have been using the earbuds for listening to audiobooks in the morning too.  The earbuds are charged to its full capacity in around 70 minutes and charging case in around 90 minutes. Along with that 15minutes of fast charging gives you 2 hours of audio performance for sure. The low battery on the earbuds gives a video-games kind of sound notification around 10% battery. 

5. 1 MORE MUSIC Smartphone APP - The smartphone application offers many features to control the touch functions as per your choice like volume +/- or play/pause or previous track/next track or voice control which you can set amongst the double-tap or 3 times tap. Also, the app offers what touch panels on both sides of the earbuds can perform during call mode - Answer/End Call on quick double-tap. The app also shows the battery left in both the earbuds independently. Somehow the battery capacity left in the charging case is not shown which is really a spoiler for me as I never know how far I can go today without charging. The only way to overcome is to come to a point when the case is not charging the earbuds any longer looking at the dropping percentages or by opening the lid of the charging case and checking the color on the LED light on the case. Smart Playback offers auto-pause only or Auto-pause/play feature along with no smart playback which is the default. It is really great when you put the same at auto-pause and play as it even paused and starts the youtube videos too and not only music or audiobooks. 

6. Connectivity - The Bluetooth 5.0 offers various Bluetooth protocols like HFP, A2DP, and AVRCP which really gives a top-notch audio connection to your enabled devices. The aptX/AAC HD Bluetooth offers great lossless sound quality so you are getting what you are paying for and much more than that. I could easily walk between rooms and still, it stayed connected to the smartphone but more than 10m the connection starts to go. Individual Earbuds can be connected to different smartphones, can be reset to connect to a single smartphone, and can be unpaired from the previous smartphones. Qualcomm chip helps to have a stable connection between the device and the earbuds. The Bluetooth pairing is really easy using the pairing button on the charging case. 

7. Audio Quality - Coming to the audio performance of the ColorBuds, I really fell in love with the balanced sound along with the right kind of bass. I loved listening to all the Bollywood songs I really admire and listen to them again and again on these pair of earbuds. The audiobooks I listened too I could go up to 2x times the speed and could listen to all the spoken words clearly. Even the web series or youtube videos, I generally watch at 1.5x speed and the audio performance is good there too. Voice clarity is really good along with the audio performance of these 1More ColorBuds. The audio quality is really great considering the price range of around USD99 or R1849 on the website. The lows, mids, and high frequencies are all clear and there is bass too for those who loves it more. The only thing I missed is the EQ inside the 1More Music App to control the treble and bass as per my needs. The speaker impedance is 22 Ohms and is equipped with a full-range balanced armature driver to provide great audio performance. 

8. Call Quality - I received a lot of questions from my readers that how is the call quality on these Color Buds and I checked them on WhatsApp audio and video call and then went ahead and checked them on MS Teams audio call. I also checked them on the general network call and didn't find any problems on the same. Also, it significantly reduces the outside noise during the call and the audio is loud and clear. It is done using the 4 microhones on the earbuds combined with cVc 8.0 environmental noise cancellation technology. 

Other than the topics mentioned and covered above there are several other things you can use these 1More ColorBuds for as per your choice. The product comes with a 1 Year Limited Warranty too. The firmware can be updated using the smartphone app. These are the pair of earbuds in the wide range of products to choose from as these really offer something unique in terms of design and performance and features. Check them out at a store near you or order them online from the 1More Africa website and do follow them on their social media platforms.

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!!!

The Future of #Audio Solutions is Almost Here in SA: Meet the new @HUAWEIza #FreeBuds3

Hi Friends, 

Digital music lovers are now moving beyond basic streaming services and are enjoying higher quality streaming that demands higher network speed and lower latency. The rise of audiobooks and podcasts are also shaping the market for earphones, as audio tracks require a level of sound quality for an optimal listening experience. The true wireless stereo headset will also become the norm in the 5G era. Huawei will be launching its flagship headset, the HUAWEI FreeBuds 3, in South Africa next week. They pick up the human voice efficiently for call quality that feels like a face-to-face conversation and supports active noise cancellation for immersive music experience. Here’s a sneak peek at the main features of the brand new HUAWEI FreeBuds 3.

Intelligent noise canceling

Keeping user behavior in mind, HUAWEI’s FreeBuds 3 is designed to provide active noise cancellation features, even in noisy environments, without compromising on comfort. The earphones use advanced technologies to filter ambient noise, thus blocking environmental interference for a more immersive and high-quality music and call experience, even in noisy environments such as malls and restaurants. The noise reduction effect is further complemented by the Open-fit TWS design, which makes the earphones more comfortable to wear.

The HUAWEI FreeBuds 3 also use a bone sensor feature that picks up vibrations of the head to better distinguish the user’s voice from background noise, further enhancing call quality by reducing ambient noise. To further improve call quality, the HUAWEI FreeBuds 3 use an aerodynamically designed wind cancellation microphone duct that reduces wind noise. This patented air tunnel blocks all wind, making the headphones effective to use outdoors.

Ultimate performance with Huawei’s wearable chipset

The HUAWEI FreeBuds 3 house the proprietary Kirin A1 chipset, the world’s first Bluetooth 5.1 and Bluetooth Low Energy 5.1 wearable chip designed by Huawei. The chip will ensure a stable and seamless connection to provide an overall enhanced experience, including better anti-interference, lower latency while gaming, a more stable connection and a smoother call experience anytime, anywhere. The chip also brings an immersive high-quality music listening experience, thanks to lower latency and better synchronization for audio and video. It is designed to provide optimum data sharing between the two earphones, while also greatly reducing power consumption for longer battery life.

Booming bass for studio-like sound quality

Premium quality music is one of the core focus areas of the HUAWEI FreeBuds 3. To deliver studio-grade music, the HUAWEI FreeBuds 3 are manufactured with customized acoustic components and innovative architecture developed by Huawei. The components and architecture work together to balance treble, middle and bass, while a custom-designed bass tube reproduces crystal clear details for a music experience like no other.

Long-lasting battery

Based on Huawei’s famed fast-charging technology, the HUAWEI FreeBuds 3 offer 2W SuperCharge technology. This supports both wired and wireless charging, allowing users to charge up with either a USB Type-C wire or a wireless charger. The HUAWEI FreeBuds 3 can also be charged with a HUAWEI smartphone that supports the wireless reverse charge, by simply placing the case on the back of the phone.

Utilizing the highly efficient power consumption of the Kirin A1 chip, HUAWEI FreeBuds 3 is able to provide four hours of playback from a single charge, and a total of 20 hours when used alongside the charging case.

Nature-inspired aesthetics

Available in black and white finishes, the HUAWEI FreeBuds 3 come in a pebble-shaped rounded charging case and are designed to fit comfortably in the user’s pocket or their hands. The case pops open for easy access to the HUAWEI FreeBuds 3 earpieces that have an ergonomic rounded curve with a natural open-fit design that ensures a comfortable and stable wearing experience while also housing a hidden power button in the middle of the right side. The ergonomic open-fit design not only fits better but also reduces stuffiness and discomfort, making it easier to wear in all scenarios, be it during your daily commute or while you’re at the office.

The HUAWEI FreeBuds 3 will be available from 2 December. RRP is R2,999.
