Gadgets I Own @SonyElectronics #SRSBTV5 Bluetooth Speaker #SonyAudio #ProductReview

 Hi Friends,

When I was in India, I used to participate in a lot of twitter contests and used to win some of the great gadgets from time to time and one gadget which I won during that time in 2012 and still with me is this Sony Electronics SRS-BTV5 Bluetooth Speaker which is not only good looking but also has a great design and sound quality. I got this during a contest by Sony Pictures for Skyfall movie in the James Bond Series. Way back in 2012 also, it has the NFC feature which is now also not available in many audio products and also the call/microphone feature too built into it. I reviewed the same long ago on my blog The Life's Way which you can read here. 

As time has changed and more focus is on videos so I have created one and I am still learning to create and edit videos. If you like this one, please do like, share, and subscribe to my Youtube channel for more such videos. I am creating new content from all the gadgets and travels and launch events I have attended in South Africa. 

I really love Sony Audio and Mobile Products and still remember that once I met the Country Manager of Sony Electronics in India at a launch event of Sony Headphones and he asked me for what all products I own from the brand and the next day I sent him the 3 photos of more than 25-30 Sony products from eBook-reader to Walkman to Noise-cancellation headphones and various other earphones I owned lying on my bed. He called me immediately and wanted to come to visit my home too. It was just before I traveled to South Africa and it could not ever happen and I missed a chance to get another product from Sony Audio Products he wanted to gift me. Thanks a lot to Sony for even thinking about it and you are welcome any day to my home in India. 

Cheers!!!

M&B customers that are also users of the recently unveiled Samsung Pay application, may now pay their bill using a compatible Samsung Galaxy device with an enrolled card from a supporting bank. The mobile payment service that offers users a safer and simpler payment option, can be downloaded, free from the Google Play Store, is Samsung’s solution to enable their users to process payments - almost anywhere, using both MST and NFC technology.

Product Review - @SamsungSA Level Over Ear #Bluetooth #Headphones @SamsungMobileSA

Hi Friends, 

Samsung Electronics is one of my favourite brands and why not - I have been the winner of their first-ever Blogger's Challenge in South Africa. I have been asking them to send me one of the Level Over-Ear headphones but it was only some time back I got to test the same as they were in-between PR company changes. Samsung is not made to do small things, they always Aim and Achieve Big Things. 

As I simply love headphones and earphones and I attract a lot of them in my life for example if I win some contest - the prize will be headphones, If I attend some event the goodies bag will have headphones or earphones etc. So my whole life revolves around Earphones and Headphones. But now I really want to have a smartphone as my need and desire on my 5th year anniversary of The Life's Way.

Samsung Level Over Headsets are Bluetooth (3.0) and NFC enabled which covers your ears comfortably and can be worn for many hours without any discomfort which has been made possible due to the soft and supple polyurethane cushioning on both headsets. The Level-Over Headphone has ergonomic features and a sleek, minimalist design which not only makes it good to look at but beauty when you wear the same on your ears. Not only this, once you switch ON the ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) you are in your own world as it totally cancels the exterior noise and you can focus on the task at hand.

The Samsung Level Over also gives the option to work wirelessly (Bluetooth range is up to 10 m) and with wire when you forget to charge the unit or due to extreme travel you could not. Music will never stop on this headset and with NFC you can just connect it to any smartphone with just a TAP. The headset comes with a carry case and cable with 3 buttons remote controller and MIC. The headset Li-Ion battery is charged using the micro-USB cable supplied in the package. The battery provides with playtime of 15h (Bluetooth Mode with ANC), 30h (Bluetooth Mode without ANC), 25h (Wired Mode with ANC), Unlimited Listening Time (Wired Mode without ANC).

Samsung Level Over weighs around 350 grams and comes with a 1.2 M cable with a 3.5mm headphone jack to plug into your devices. Samsung has also introduced several little features into the device such as a Volume monitor which cautions users to reduce the volume in case you are exploding the headphones at full volume for a long period of time. Also, when you are calling someone from a noisy environment, voices can still be clearly heard. While you are listening to music, you can enable the message alerts and scheduling reminders to be heard on the Level Over as notifications.

The next best feature is the smart touch panel on the side of the headset to control the play, pause, song movement and volume up and down buttons along with call receiving and call rejection. This takes time to get adjusted to in case you are using touch kind of headphones for the first time. The smart touch panel works with S-voice or may be Bixby now if you are connected to a Samsung smartphone only.

In the end, let's talk about the feature we all buy headphones is for its sound quality. Powered by a 50mm driver unit with high-quality neodymium magnets this Samsung Level Over produces an amazingly strong and realistic sound. I really loved listening to some of the Bollywood tunes as well as my favourite singer Taylor Swift. Samsung's Sound Alive equalizer gives more customized features in case you are using Samsung smartphone. The impedance of headsets is 41 Ohms and 50mm speakers are fitted with Bio-Cellurose Diaphragm. The sound is balanced with not too much of bass but you can control that with Sound alive to make it as you like it. I generally like the Classic equalizer setting or on the Voice mode.

In the end, this model is now out of the market (launched in 2014) but as I have received it later in it's life (August 2016), I just wanted to finish using those images I have taken of the headset. The new model is already launched by Samsung as Level Pro, go check out the same and I know you won't be disappointed with the quality.

Cheers!!!

Product Review - Sony Wireless Speaker SRS-BTV5 with NFC & Bluetooth

Hi Guys,

I really wanted to have a rechargeable bluetooth speaker since the time I realized the use for the same and kept on checking www.flipkart.com for any deals on the same. I am thankful to Sony Pix twitter handle for making my dream come true to have an awesome bluetooth speaker system with NFC from the house of Sony.

 This is a great addition to my Sony collection and this one is really awesome product.

SRS-BTV5 has built in rechargeable battery giving sound output at 1.2W for around four hours of continuous usage.

 Setting up is really easy and with NFC almost instantly pairs with my HTC One. The sound quality is clear and loud with all the various genre of music. I really loved listening to my fav singers like Kailash Kher, Shreya Ghoshal and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.

The best part is that you can even attend your calls without picking up your mobile phone and music plays once your call is over. The overall experience of using this just 130grams of speakers with great sound quality is awesome. More information can be taken from http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/products/accessories/wireless-speaker-srs-btv5/#white

This will be really useful for my small room in Johannesburg, South Africa rather than carrying my Sony iPOD dock. Thanks a lot to @SonyPix for the #Skyfall contest.

Cheers!!!
