Review – Wraps Talk wristband headphones,#tech and #fashion combined. #Wraps

This product is something rather different, Most of us all like to sport the best headphones we can or perhaps some are happy with the bog standard that come with our devices,something which has been in decline to cut the cost but some manufacturers are now packing their stock versions with mobiles in particular again, Being honest I never use them as I have my own preferred personal collection to pick from..

How about something simple though, Not having to carry them around or wrapped around your neck but placed on your wrist giving that little wristband effect to it,combining both may seem odd but its also clever and less cumbersome right?? Of course it is so lets take a look at what they do and what they look like..Its the Wraps wristband headphones.

Packaging

Simple,compact laced with information such as specs and how to put them on, Also social media accounts and website all presented neatly on the back,this is good you will know who they are and how to follow….Security seals top and bottom you will know if the product has been tampered with…

They come in a choice of colours to boot so there is something for everyone,be honest we are picky with colours…I am.. The colour range is Coal,Denim.Lagoon ,Camo,Flint and Sunrise.. We have the coal version.. Also packed inside is some buds 4 to be exact…

Next stage is to wrap them around wrist,for me this was a funny experience as I am not used to wearing such items even as far as standard bands and even no I find I wear a watch less often but nonetheless it finally happened,depending how thick your wrist is is also a factor on how many times you can wrap them around.. Once fully on it looks quite nice if I dare say it given it brings me back to my childhood when I did sport lots of unusual types of bands back then but its fashionable and current from what I see in shops so its perfectly fine..

 

Ok so once this has been done the next part is how to use them which is easy. Unravel a bit,connect phone and plug into ears not exactly rocket science is it…These are wired so its plug and play. Sound is not bad at all to be fair,not blow your mind quality but for the average user they wont be disappointed with crisp sound, Not hearing a deep bass this could be adjusted via my own settings sound reproduction was fine as a whole. One thing I am not fond of is in-ears finding it difficult to find a right size but with two sets of additional buds I was in luck they fit and actually stayed in… The actual cable itself is quite tough for the most of it and light if you where to drop these I would not worry they seem robust the cable though very tough.Also to note there is some functionality incorporated into these such as pause and play button  To be safe you would need to be careful on how you wrap around wrist and not to catch in a door handle or something,some may prefer the loose wrap which would also suit me and some may prefer them tight but just keep it in mind…

 

LIMITED EDITION 

 

These come in some really nice colours to and some which stand out and there is a full range available to pick from.. For me I think this is a really good idea bringing fashion and technology harmoniously together in a simple effective way and perhaps could spark off some other interesting things, Would I wear them personally?? Well yes why not,At first I did think perhaps these would suit teenagers and I was like hmmmm, but after using them I can see the idea and how well it works and even at my age can show that I am still a bit fashionable again by wearing them..

 

Specs include

  • Includes S, M & L Silicon Tips
  • 20Hz – 20kHz Frequency Response
  • 10mm Dynamic Speakers
  • 3.5mm Gold Plated Jack
  • 80dB/1mW Sensitivity
  • 16 Ohms Impedance

Head over the the wraps store and check them out..

Entrepreneurs launch app to streamline service industry offering in Northern Ireland. #getsortsy #sortsy 

Tech-savvy entrepreneurs Peter Layland and Richard Campbell have launched their innovative app set to revolutionise the way that local businesses and consumers make appointments, following an investment of £200,000 in a bid to meet growing consumer demand.

Sortsy, which was officially launched to the Northern Ireland market in June, provides companies operating in the service industries with a quick route to market and allows them to directly engage with customers across Northern Ireland.
The new app will give businesses, both large and small, a platform to market their services to consumers, receiving bookings, and fill appointments directly based on consumer demand.  

Having already made an investment of £200k and created 7 new jobs to date, Northern Ireland’s latest tech start-up has big ambitions for their product.

Speaking about the new company Peter Layland, co-founder, Sortsy said “The idea for Sortsy was born out of sheer frustration as I tried to find a qualified and trusted trades person in Northern Ireland.

“Working with Richard and the newly formed Sortsy team we have developed a product which will offer businesses the perfect online channel for promoting and growing their business with a relevant local audience, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The app will also deliver exceptional customer service to NI consumers – it’s a win-win situation for everyone”.

 

Speaking about the new app, Richard Campbell, co-founder, Sortsy said, “From the very beginning I could see the potential in this product.  It is something I could see myself using all the time, so being a part of the team creating it and building it is just the icing on the cake”.

“Our product has infinite possibilities for the local businesses it can help grow and even create. From sole traders to multi-nationals, from plumbers to hairdressers and dentists, once started Sortsy can be expanded and assist virtually any type of business”.

Sortsy launched in Northern Ireland in June with over 400 trade professionals. Unlike other apps that offer just one genre or industry, Sortsy will be adding new industry sectors and additional business services to their platform very soon, and as they grow business users’ opportunities will grow also.

#PackedPixels:The first ever portable Retina monitor for laptops. #laptops #tech

If working in an office or working at home and again if you travel,space is a key factor and especially when travelling. I like to travel as light as possible and when tech is concerned this is never that easy especially when sporting my laptop, At home I have a simple set up but it takes up space and when I  travel my laptop is a cumbersome object without the extra companion tablet or chrome-book all depending on what I might be doing.. But how about something you can bolt onto the side of your current Laptop without the need for a companion monitor or device?? This is now possible with this great idea called “Packed Pixels” the first ever portable Retina monitor for laptops..This for me is something that will not only save me space but something that has an epic display..

@CarvedLLC cases will protect your phone in a stylish and unique way. #Cases #Review #Giveaway

In our modern world, manufactures keep working on making devices more eye-catching and attractive each time, as an example we have Apple with their increasingly  thinner new iPhones or Samsung with their updated Curved Glass and Metal flagships.

But then we put  a usually not so attractive case on them to protect them from falls and scratches, which is good, but as result we lost the precious look OEMs worked so hard to craft.

Let’s change that by adding a unique handcrafted case and a design that will make your phone look even better with the added protection.

Carved Cases

1 / 14

Carved is an US-based company that makes real wood (literal real) cases and skins for iPhone, Galaxy and Nexus devices.

With different models to choose from, like:

Slim

A “snap on” case with a real wood back and polycarbonate at the sides to assure drop protection while keeping the natural look of the phone.

Traveler

With a similar “snap on” design as before the Traveler cases add an extra layer of protection changing the slim style look for a “Rubber Bumper” cover that goes around the sides, giving the phone a bit of bulk but providing more coverage against drops than its predecessor.

Wood Skins

As the name implies there’s no “case” this time, but a laser cut and engraved wood vinyl for the back of your device (These are iPhone 4 or newer versions only)

Solid Wood Cases

Every piece is carefully selected from wood that is usually overlooked or thrown away. The cracks, knots and burls are where we find our most dramatic patterns and colors. Our unique hardening process creates an extremely strong, durable block that is precision machined into your next iPhone case.

These cases are one solid piece that will transform your phone into an art statement. With solid metal buttons and an open bottom to easy access your charging port and 3.5 jack; you will not find any extra cutouts on this beauty. (unfortunately for Android users, this model is also iPhone only)

Their cases come in a huge variety of designs, going from popular images to custom-made draws added by famous artists or if you prefer even your own design.

Made by Georgia based illustrator, Katy Lipscomb, the artwork is printed on real maple wood, you’ll find more of her gorgeous work over Carved website

Also there’s the Special Edition:

Seaside Collection

Featuring the natural beauty of a real shell inlay. The artwork is inlaid on a Veneered MDF sheet of genuine wood, laser cut and finished by hand.

The guys at Carved were kind enough to provide us with two cases to review and also for a GIVEAWAY, so take a look at the video below to know more about them.

So, as stated on the video all you need to do is:

Follow @CarvedLLC, @VicenteA_George and @techbuzzireland

CubeRun VR – A nice game if your bored. #Oculus #GearVR

Whilst sitting around the office and waiting for my crappy internet to work I stumbled across this game which is kind of cool for passing some time of you have nothing better to do, Think of temple run but not as nauseous if you have tried it already, Even a seasoned VR user at times I do get a tad disorientated and since introducing a game-pad to the game it gets worse,but saying that I mean the effect is good given your hand is not stuck up in the air looking like you are hailing a taxi..

This game is fun quick and will give your neck a good workout if anything and there is to some degree a bit of immersion there but not on the same level as Temple Run.. With a few more updates I think it could be even better

 

 

CubeRun is a running game which is build in a world of cube. You will need shake your head left or right to avoid any obstacles in your way. Especially don’t tilt your body or head because it doesn’t work. You also need collect the coins and run as far as you can. Because your speed will be faster and faster, also the map will be more difficult. You will get into 4 different maps such as spring, summer, autumn and winter. And each season has day and night. During the night the part of your sight will be dark, so you should better be careful.
