Skullcandy launches three new value headsets as they re-enter the gaming market

Skullcandy, the #1 selling brand in Stereo Headphones and True Wireless Earbuds under $100, has just announced its re-entry to the gaming category with a trio of value-packed headsets for all skill levels. Offering compatibility across PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Switch and mobile, the all-new SLYR, SLYR Pro and PLYR Multi-Platform Gaming Headsets were purpose built for gamers, delivering rich, detailed sound, crystal-clear communications and all-day comfort. The collection is rolling out now at Skullcandy.com, starting at $59.99 MSRP for SLYR and ranging to $129.99 MSRP for PLYR.

“Everyone knows Skullcandy offers a premium sound experience and getting back into gaming is something our fans have been requesting for years–We’re stoked to release our new multi-platform gaming collection into the wild,” said Jason Luthman, Director of Global Product Management, Skullcandy. “As gamers will attest, exceptional audio, seamless communication and comfort are absolutely crucial. From illuminating unique nuances with personalized audio profiles, to executing crystal-clear player-to-player comms, we packed PLYR, SLYR Pro and SLYR with the must-have technologies gamers demand for fully immersive play.”

The ideal lifestyle-to-livestream audio companion, PLYR — the collection’s flagship offering — is perfect for gamers who desire maximum flexibility to play both wired or wirelessly via Bluetooth. To add maximum dimension to the audio experience, PLYR adapted Skullcandy’s well-known Personal Sound technology, re-engineering it specifically for gaming. Like prescription glasses, but for your ears, the enhanced technology is called Enhanced Sound Perception (ESP) and requires users to take an innovative hearing test to tune audio drivers specifically to the user’s unique hearing.

To deliver crystal clear communications, PLYR features Clear Voice Smart Mic, which leverages artificial intelligence to isolate the speaker’s voice and cut out background noises, such as keyboard clicks. The technology works with both the boom mic, and on-board headset mic if boom mic is removed. Dual-connect capabilities enables users to connect via wired and wireless connection to stream audio from two separate devices, simultaneously. Lastly, an adjustable suspension headband reduces pressure on top of the head — an absolute must for all-day play.

For gamers seeking a premium wired-only gaming experience, SLYR Pro is the answer, offering must-have features like ESP and Clear Voice Smart Mic technology with detachable boom mic. SLYR Pro also sports a slightly redesigned headband for those who prefer a more classic, yet comfortable fit.

Casual gamers seeking an entry-level solution will want to turn their attention to SLYR. Supreme Sound maximizes the gaming experience, providing premium in-game audio depth to ensure users not only hear enemies creeping up from behind, but also the roar of the crowd. SLYR also features a bi-directional removable boom mic that enables focused voice pickup, ensuring gamers can seamlessly communicate and collaborate with clarity in multiplayer settings.

PLYR, SLYR Pro and SLYR models are all constructed from tough, lightweight materials, each boasting head-conforming, memory-foam ear cushions wrapped in moisture wicking, breathable material. Easy-to-reach, on-board controls across each headset enables gamers to quickly mute and adjust volume without gameplay interference. Boom mics are also equipped with a mic-status LED so players know at a glance when they’re on mute or “on air.” SLYR Pro and PLYR models also include the ability to toggle through various gaming EQs, including ESP and custom EQ.

DxO’s cutting-edge Optics Modules now include support for 9 new lenses

DxO Labs, the company that invented optical corrections for digital photography, has completed its detailed analysis of nine new lenses and added them to its list of supported equipment.

DxO now offers photographers access to more than 77,000 camera and lens combinations across its software — DxO PhotoLab, PureRAW, ViewPoint, FilmPack, and Nik Collection — offering unrivaled quality.

Photographers receive corrections that are tailor-made for their specific equipment as each new Optics Module is created from individual camera and lens combinations — not simply the lens on its own. As a result, DxO offers the most complete and high-quality approach to optical correction.

The latest update — available now — includes the following lenses:

 

  • Canon RF 24mm F1.8 Macro IS STM
  • Nikkor Z 28-75mm F2.8
  • HD Pentax-D FA 21mm F2.4 ED Limited DC WR
  • HD Pentax-FA 31mm F1.8 Limited
  • HD Pentax-FA 43mm F1.9 Limited
  • HD Pentax-FA 77mm F1.8 Limited
  • Sigma 18-50mm F2.8 DC DN | C
  • Sigma 35mm F2 DG DN | C
  • Sony E 11mm F1.8

 

“We’re committed to giving photographers the best possible results from their gear, and we’re delighted to add these nine new lenses,” explained Marie-Catherine Fargnoli, DxO Product Owner and Laboratory Manager. “DxO has never used off-the-shelf lens corrections and no other software company matches the quality that we’re able to achieve through the work carried out in our laboratory.”

Two decades of innovation

Almost 20 years ago, DxO created the world’s first lens corrections in its unique, purpose-built laboratory. Today, DxO’s Optics Modules continue to lead the industry thanks to their quality and precision.

What makes DxO’s corrections superior?

DxO creates an exclusive set of characteristics as it assesses lenses and cameras together, rather than simply assessing a lens on its own. These bespoke optical corrections offer two significant advantages:

  • DxO Optics Modules assess 100% of the pixel area as being the true field of capture. Other solutions — including those from camera brands and competitor software — are forced to crop the resolution when reducing optical distortion. Compared to the competition, DxO Optics Modules can keep up to 10% more pixels.
  • DxO delivers tailor-made adjustments and corrections across each lens’s field of view thanks to an exclusive lens sharpness algorithm. Unlike the standard lens libraries used by other software, sharpening is applied at different levels according to a lens’s unique characteristics. For example, sharpening increases towards the edge of the frame to account for subtle changes in radial softness.

DxO Optics Modules also correct the following imperfections as standard:

  • Vignetting
  • Geometric distortions
  • Longitudinal and lateral chromatic aberrations

In addition, DxO’s Optics Modules are the only way to benefit from anamorphic deformation compensation — exclusive technology that restores the natural proportions of a scene or subject after it has been distorted by a wide-angle lens. This means that using shorter focal lengths is no longer an issue when photographing large groups of people (particularly at weddings), or in landscape and architectural photography.

How is technology affecting students?

Technology has had a profound impact on students. It has changed the way they learn, the way they communicate and the way they think. It has also changed the way they socialize, the way they interact with their peers and the way they interact with their teachers.

How is technology affecting students’ ability to concentrate?

With the constant beep of notifications and the never-ending stream of information, it’s no wonder that students have difficulty concentrating. In a world where we are constantly bombarded with noise and stimulation, it can be hard to focus on anything for more than a few minutes. The constant interruptions make it difficult to maintain focus and concentration.It’s not just the constant distractions that are affecting students’ ability to concentrate. The way we consume information has changed as well. We now read less and scroll through more. Our attention spans have shortened and we are used to getting information in small bite-sized pieces.

This is having an impact on students’ ability to read and comprehend long texts.The way we learn has also changed. We are now used to learning in short bursts through videos and podcasts instead of lengthy lectures. This has made it harder for students to sit still and concentrate for extended periods of time.All of these factors are having a negative impact on students’ ability to concentrate. To be successful in school, students need to be able to focus and pay attention. However, with the constant distractions and the way information is now consumed, it can be a challenge to stay focused.

The Impact of Technology on Racial Profiling

Racial profiling is the discriminatory practice by law enforcement officials of targeting individuals for suspicion of crime based on the individual’s race, ethnicity, nationality or religion. This practice is controversial and is considered by many to be a form of racism.

In the past, racial profiling was often based on the belief that certain minority groups were more likely to commit certain types of crimes. This belief was often based on stereotypes and biased information. With the advent of new technology, racial profiling has become more sophisticated and sometimes more difficult to detect.

Law enforcement officials now have access to a variety of tools that allow them to target individuals for suspicion of crime based on race, ethnicity, nationality or religion. These tools include databases that contain information on individuals’ race, ethnicity, nationality or religion. They also have access to technology that can be used to target individuals based on their physical characteristics.

Students in conversation

Racial profiling is a controversial practice and its impact is still being debated. Some believe that it is a necessary tool for law enforcement officials to target individuals who may be involved in criminal activity. Others believe that it is a form of racism that should be eliminated. This is still a subject of heated debate in many media from newspapers to classrooms, research papers and free essays on racial profiling

The impact of technology on racial profiling is still being determined. However, it is clear that technology has made it easier for law enforcement officials to target individuals for suspicion of crime based on their race, ethnicity, nationality or religion.

How is technology affecting students’ ability to socialize?

In the past, students would have to socialize face-to-face in order to maintain friendships and communicate. However, with the advent of technology, students are now able to socialize through the use of social media, texting, and other forms of communication. While this has its benefits, there are also some drawbacks.One of the benefits of technology is that it has made it easier for students to communicate with each other. They can connect with friends and family members who live far away, and they can stay in touch with friends who they don’t see on a regular basis. Technology has also allowed students to connect with people who share their interests and passions.

For example, there are many online forums and groups that cater to specific interests, and this can be a great way for students to find others who they can connect with. However, there are also some drawbacks to the way that technology is affecting students’ ability to socialize. One of the biggest concerns is that students are spending more time on their devices and less time interacting with people face-to-face. This can lead to students feeling isolated and alone, and it can also make it difficult for them to develop and maintain friendships. Additionally, some students are so reliant on technology that they have trouble communicating and interacting with people in person.

This can be a problem when they need to network or interview for jobs.Overall, technology has both its benefits and its drawbacks when it comes to students’ ability to socialize. While it has made it easier for students to connect with each other, it has also created some challenges. It is important for students to find a balance between using technology and interacting with people in person in order to maintain healthy social lives.

How is technology affecting students’ physical health?

Technology is having a profound effect on the physical health of college students. The most obvious way is through the increase in sedentary lifestyle behaviors such as sitting in front of a computer or playing video games. This lack of physical activity can lead to obesity and other chronic health problems. In addition, technology is also affecting students’ sleep patterns. The use of electronic devices such as phones and laptops in the evening can disrupt sleep and lead to fatigue during the day. This can impact students’ ability to focus and learn in class.

There are also mental health implications of technology use. Intense use of social media can lead to anxiety and depression. It’s important to be aware of the ways technology is impacting your health, both physically and mentally. Taking steps to limit your screen time, getting regular exercise, and getting enough sleep can help offset some of the negative effects of technology.

How is technology affecting students’ mental health?

Technology is drastically affecting students’ mental health. The heavy use of social media, along with the easy accessibility of the internet, has created a generation of students that are constantly plugged in. While there are some benefits to this, such as staying connected with friends and family, the constant connection can also have negative consequences. Studies have shown that the more time people spend on social media, the more likely they are to experience symptoms of anxiety and depression.

The constant flow of information can also be overwhelming for students. They are constantly bombarded with news and updates, which can lead to feelings of anxiety and paranoia. In addition, the pressure to be constantly available and responsive to others can lead to feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem. It’s important for students to develop healthy coping mechanisms to deal with the negative effects of technology. Taking breaks from social media and the internet, spending time in nature, and exercise are all great ways to reduce stress and improve mental health. In addition, talking to someone about the negative impact technology is having on your life can be helpful. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or struggling to cope, reach out to a mental health professional for help.

How is technology affecting students’ academic performance?

Technology has had a profound impact on students’ academic performance. On the one hand, it has made research and communication easier and more efficient. On the other hand, it has also made cheating and plagiarism more prevalent. In order to ensure that technology is used in a way that enhances students’ academic performance, educators need to be aware of its potential pitfalls and take steps to prevent them. One of the most positive ways that technology has impacted students’ academic performance is by making research more efficient. In the past, students had to spend hours in the library looking for information. Now, they can simply use the internet to find the information they need. This has saved students a lot of time and has made research more convenient.

However, technology has also made cheating and plagiarism more prevalent. With the availability of essay mills and other online resources, students can easily purchase or copy essays and papers. This has led to an increase in cases of plagiarism. To combat this, educators need to be aware of the resources available to students and make sure that they are using them appropriately. Overall, technology has had both positive and negative impacts on students’ academic performance. However, educators should make sure that technology is used in a way that enhances students’ learning and academic success.

Conclusion

Technology is widely seen as having the potential to greatly improve educational outcomes for students. By providing students with easy access to educational resources and tools, technology can help students learn more effectively and efficiently. Additionally, technology can help students stay engaged and motivated in their learning, as well as connect with other students and educators more easily.

First look – Meta Quest 2

VR was once a thing then died off over the last few years, I was a huge fan and had a huge collections of headsets from all brands and still today have some here which have not been really used that much in fairness, I remember when VR was a thing and we covered lots of news and headsets then I just seemed to fade away. Here is the thing though it has been still growing in the background for different applications with some companies but as for the consumer end a different story, I have from time to time took a headset out and this one was in a different league a the time which was for education and was really cool from Veative VR and I was lucky to test this here in Ireland and the only one to do so.

Sony has a new VR headset coming out next year which I can’t wait for and it is welcome in my book and hopefully add to the revival of VR AR and of course we await something from Apple pretty soon to which some will say it will kickstart the industry just like their 5G phones didn’t and we all know how 5G is at the moment, depending where you reside of course but as for Ireland it has not been a hit and will not be for some time yet and event though 5G phones at the start where expensive and far and few between that has changed but the uptake in 5G has not and I wonder if the same thing will apply here for Augmented and Virtual reality.. Point being sony made it a bit more affordable for those to access a great VR experience but has so much wires and set-up a pain but was a step up from what Samsung offered and Sony already had hardwear out there for millions to access and cheaper than the other high end offering s back then like HTC VIVE for example.

I still have my note 4 and the Samsung Gear VR headset today, Samsung did it really well with not having to have an expensive system to drive it  (if you had a compatible phone that is) and was affordable which is akin to this headset which just requires a Facebook account to login which some sniff at but ask the same some do they use social media at all which is hypocritical all the same but having said that I get it when it comes to data but as it always has been and will be for the foreseeable future YOU are the product like it or not and of course if you choose to use such hardware and we all know how Facebook do things.

So for me I have two Facebook accounts and chose my websites one to use the device and login etc I did have an Oculus account before obviously with Samsung VR and did not care, today though a different matter. Data is a big thing but you are the product and that is a fact end of story..

Anyway moving on this headset I have a while and have been to busy with work the site and personal matter to actually test this out so I had some time to have a quick look and test it out recently and I like what I see apart from paying for lots of content, it has took me back to the Samsung VR times and would rate this headset slightly better considering you do not need any additional expensive hardwear just to run it, will the novelty wear off? Give me a few weeks and let me see and if it is worth the near 500 euro price tag to buy and ask any questions you might have over on the YouTube channel where we give you a hands on approach and not the lazy stock image one with no context as there is many today who still have not even tried the VR experience and even now I have showed some friends and they have been impressed but some felt dizzy.

ENDORFY – A new European brand on the international technology stage

Cooling, the owner of SPC Gear and SilentiumPC, has today introduced its new global brand – ENDORFY – to the world. The move is as a result of international business expansion and the broadening of the target audience. ENDORFY goes beyond the gaming sector, wanting to reach all modern technology fans with both its message and products you will see some reviews soon here on techbuzzireland so stay tuned.

The creation of the ENDORFY brand is a response to the dynamically changing nature of the technology market. It is also a long-term investment in securing the company’s path towards further growth on the global market. Cooling has created a single and powerful brand that follows modern communication trends, meeting the demands of global consumers, as well as establishing itself across the technology market.

“After the success on local markets, the next natural step for us is further expansion,” says Łukasz Zdziech, CEO of Cooling. He goes on to say, “Our company constantly strives to develop both the quality of offered products and the range of operations. We have already noted promising results on several foreign markets, e.g. in the Czech Republic and Germany. However, the time has come to significantly increase the scale of our operations. We will be present in nearly all of Europe, and in the future, all over the world. We want to compete with the biggest companies in the industry.”

The formation of the brand is also the result of an expanded target audience. ENDORFY provides its products to all types of technology users. Their communication reaches far beyond just the gaming industry. “We originate from the gaming world, and we will always acknowledge this. Nevertheless, our audience has long since shifted from being exclusively gamers. They are also content creators, such as streamers, podcasters, writers or casual users, who do not need to play games at all to enjoy technology,” explains Łukasz Zdziech. Following this he states, “In response to these dynamic changes, we decided to adapt the brand to be relevant to both our gaming audience and those who do not come from the world of gaming. We want to be a brand associated with positive emotions delivered by technology.”

ENDORFY is a brand for everyone who wants to have fun using technology. This close, almost collegial relationship between the company and its audience is at the heart of ENDORFY’s creation, and the entire vision behind the new Cooling brand.

 

“During the design development of ENDORFY, we wondered what all our extremely diverse customer groups had in common. We finally found the answer. It’s the emotions they experience through technology,” adds Jacek Serwański, Cooling’s Marketing Director. He then says, “It is the joy of winning a match in a game, or the pride when you show your friends your self-built PC. It is also a moment of unwinding after a long day with your favourite music playing in your headphones. These small moments are very precious to us, because although they are characterised by great individuality, they actually bring all technology users together.”

The brand has also ensured that its visual communication stands out from the crowd. ENDORFY’s image is based on a unique colour palette. It is not used by any entity known in the industry. The two main colours are yellow and blue, supported by black, white and various shades of grey. “We pay a lot of attention to details, which can be seen for example, in the packaging boxes

we designed for ENDORFY,” explains Jacek Serwański. He states, “The white box immediately stands out on the shop shelf, where black usually dominates in the technology department. On the box, we show the product from almost every angle. This allows the customer to see what they are buying even without opening the packaging.”

Key products that will be available as early as the 5th of October 2022:

 

  • Navis F280 Cooling System – ensuring silent operation with no fan noise
  • Solum Studio & Solum Broadcast Microphones – a solution that provides clear sound and ultimate comfort during long hours of recording
  • Wireless Thock Compact Keyboard Series – allowing you to forget about tangled cables and focus on your tasks
  • GEM and GEM Plus Mice in the “Onyx White” colour – combining incredible accuracy and original design with a unique colour scheme

The history of Cooling began in 1993, when Zbigniew Zdziech founded a company that sold computer accessories. Ten years later, the company began offering its products online, and in 2007, the manufacturer created its first brand, SilentiumPC, which produced fans. The brand quickly expanded, and went on to offer PC cases, air coolers, and power supplies as early as 2012. Another breakthrough came in 2016, when the company decided to also target the computer accessories and peripherals market, launching its second brand, SPC Gear. The new brand’s first product was a high-quality gaming chair, followed by two series of gaming keyboards, a streaming microphone, an ultra-light mouse, and the “VIRO” headphones, which became a huge sales success. The company currently holds a leading position on the Polish market in the sales segments of PC cases, power supplies, and air cooling, and the SPC Gear VIRO headphones continuously hold first place on the sales charts.

The Ultimate Guide to Cell Phone Signal Boosters

In current times the population of Earth depends on their mobile phones for daily communication and day-to-day business. Hence, reliability on a strong Internet connection is at stake for different users with various purposes. Generally, the cell phone contact, be it at home or in the office, has poor connection. 

The solution to the described problem is a signal booster which can allow people to continue using their phones in all areas in spite of coverage. If you are on the search for the best service, then you need to boost the giffgaff mobile coverage to receive the utmost mobile quality network, persistent data connection for any kinds of tasks and goals. 

General understanding of a signal booster 

A signal booster, known as a cell phone booster, is a special device that enhances weak cellular signals which are usually used by cell phones, smartphones, tablets, even hotspots and cellular-connected devices. 

By increasing the already existing cell signal, a booster helps to:

  • Reduce dropped signals
  • Improve voice quality
  • Lessen glitches with phone calls
  • Increase data speed 

Regardless of the network carries, there were situations when every user experienced weak cell signal at least once. 

It is worth mentioning that signal boosters amplify the signal which is already available. Broadly speaking, boosters can improve signal only by using transmissions, not by creating new signals. As practice shows, dead zones lack any kind of transmission. However, there are other factors which make cell signals unreliable. Here is the list of primary factors:

  • Buildings which impede the cell signals passing through concrete, metal, energy-efficient windows and others. 
  • Vehicles, which are made up of metal and safety glass, the outer shell of any vehicle, block any cell signals. 
  • Distance, the further one moves away from the cell tower the weaker the signal gets. 
  • Terrain, such as rocks, hills, mountains, which can be located near a cell tower can potentially prevent a cell signal. 

 

Therefore, if in the area of your accomodation there is no coverage for the network then the booster will not do the work. On the other hand, occasionally, such devices may enhance weak signals when the coverage is sparse and spotty then there is a high probability that booster installment will provide users with a signal. 

The question may arise on whether signal boosters work in rural or remote areas. Yes, it may work in off the beaten track locations and rural areas, however, it is recommended to use the strongest booster within the home or vehicle category to achieve the best possible results. 

Tricks to get a better cell phone signal 

As mentioned earlier, not everyone has a great signal on their location and as a matter of fact physical obstacles usually affect cell signal strength by often simply blocking it. 

1. Move to a different location in your home 

First and foremost, cellular coverage may be uneven inside your home. In some rooms there may be a better signal because of the direction of a carrier tower, or large trees on the property hinder the signal. Connectivity may improve depending on where the person is. So, think about putting a cell signal on the stronger part of the house. 

2. Do not block the antenna 

Try removing your cell phone case since most smartphones tuck the antenna inside of the phone and dull antenna’s activity is unable to receive and transmit RF signals. 

3. Check your phones performance 

From time to time, the root of the problem can be with the actual mobile device. You need to make sure that your cell phone’s performance is performing at its best with a full battery and the most recent software updates. Traditionally, older phone models do not have recent updates or strong networks. 

4. Remove possible obstructions 

It may not change the situation drastically, however, taking away some metal constructions, surfaces or elements may no longer distance the user from the faster signal. It is an easy concept to grasp, the less obstructions there are the better the signal will be. 

5. Evaluate cell phone signal 

Various websites and applications can help users find towers and get general reading on the user’s cell phone signal. It is necessary to find field test mode which can give an exact reading for the specific device at the specific moment.  

6. Consider a new carrier 

If previous recommendations fail, you may consider switching the carrier and start a new plan with a new carrier which proves to be more reliable and provides decent cellular coverage for personal needs of a user. 

7. Cell phone signal booster

Choosing a proper signal booster can be an important point to consider as well. As a rule of the thumb, signal boosters are carrier agnostic and can support different carriers. However, should there be a problem with a carrier, consider choosing a new one. 

Cell phone boosters often use an antenna to receive a signal and amplify it to give users a strong connection in general. Cell phone signal boosters consist of 3 components:

  • An outdoor antenna, which is mounted on the roof of one’s home. Such a type of antenna is powerful enough to get even weak signals that are not detected by smartphones. 
  • A booster unit which receives the signal from an outdoor antenna and amplifies it into a dependable signal that is used by indoor devices. 
  • An indoor antenna, which takes the received boosted cellular signal and distributes it evenly through the house to provide more connectivity.
