Packaging: All good. Standard top end look. I donāt really care, but a lot of people consider this important.
Charging case: looks great, but slightly large(still fits in jeans pocket). The problem is the magnetic connection. Although strong, the buds can move and so not charge. I am charging with the case open so I can check. This is not practical outdoors. Also not sure it will change the buds twice(fully) as stated.
Earbuds: Well made and by far the best looking on the market. Extremely lightweight and comfortable. Push left bud for calls, right bud for music. Simple and works fine, but touch technology(thereās an idea, i will come back to) rather than push button would be preferable. Battery of buds gets around the three hours stated.
Sound: Sound quality is very good, slight lean towards bass but not excessive. Have listened to a variety of music and very happy with the overall sound(there is also an equaliser). Volume is noticeably louder than any others buds i have tried.
Connectivity: The major area of concern(reading reviews). I do get drop outs but mainly when iām 3-5m+ away. Occasional ones closer, but few and far between. Am yet to use outdoors with lots of movement, so it could get worse.
Overall good, look/fit/sound all do the job, but i got fidgety in July, so these are turning up sometime in the future.
True, but Bluetooth 5 and no master/slave, either can be used individually if desired.
The airs only take calls in the left(master) bud and iām partially deaf in that ear. Couldnāt use buds for about 3 years, but given time the brain works around the problem and i only notice it now if i take out the right bud(hence shit for calls).
If my daughter doesnāt steal one(deliberately didnāt order white to try to stop this happening), i will have a pair for home and one for outdoors.
P. S The airs sound quality really is good. I like a lot(apart from above mentioned).
Someone sold a Ā£5 note for Ā£80k on eBay and charged Ā£2.95 for postageā¦ now thatās very tight.
What does make me laugh on eBay are people that have a starting price of 0.99 on a Ā£5 note and there are people buying them for around Ā£1-Ā£2. Well look after the pennies!
Mrs C_S has played an absolute blinder and got me a couple of genuine Neanderthal artifacts - an arrowhead in good but unused condition and a scraper which had been used.
Bought from a very reputable source so not a modern knock off - No, she didnāt buy them from LITSL or SOG, though they did offerā¦
Oh, and she got me and Teenage Mutant a Zimbabwean Fifty Trillion Dollar note each, from the bad old days in 2008 when inflation out there went absolutely fucking mental.
The note wouldnāt have even bought a loaf of bread.
I have to say I was disappointed with the offer for the crushed Richard III spinal disc. It was authenticated as a congenital spinal disorder not later car park damage as you wife suggested.
Not strictly a gadget but Mrs C_S has got me hooked on an app thatās apparently taking Mumsnet by storm
Flightradar 24
Itās a realtime flight tracker. Totally useless, but if you want to check the progress of the 16:00 flight from Heathrow to Seoul, balloons in the Caribbean (I kid you not), wonder about why there are no flight in Yemen or N Korea for that matter, or even why all helicopter flights from Aberdeen all seem to finish in the North Sea then itās the app to download
I didnāt realise there are so many planes in the air at the same time
I will probably be getting the paid-for option soonā¦very sad I know.
I got some bluetooth soundbuds before my trip away. Theyāve made my commutes and travelling around the borough so much better and I am not getting tangled up anymore.
Also picked up that little speaker and agree. Itās fab.
Seems as the missus and I both have QI capable phones I got this little powerbank thing, I must admit it rocks. Although I wasnāt expecting a power button on the side and was wondering why QI charging wasnāt working and was about to return it.
There was a severe lack of instructions to be fair.
