Jartoo Nano Heating Pad Review

Jartoo Nano Heating Pad is their latest product on offer after their recently reviewed Carbon NanoTube heated blanket which will come in handy over the Winter months and cold days especially in Ireland.

This product is on the more compact size and is also portable and comes well presented and not only keeps you warm but helps out with pain relief which again is handy and more again it is cheap to run saving you electricity.

This heating pad has the same material used as before and is super soft to the touch and silky smooth overall and comfortable no matter what case you may use it in. It helps effectively relieve menstrual cramps, back pain, neck pain, shoulder aches, and other joint discomfort.

It also comes with a wireless remote allowing you to set alarms and temperatures and it is simple to use and set up as you will see in the video review down below.

Thanks to Jartoo’s advanced safety voltage reduction technology, it supports both 120V AC wall outlets and 12V+ power banks, while the output voltage is only 12V—well below the 36V safety standard, ensuring safer use for children and seniors. Even in the event of local damage, there is no risk of electrical leakage, providing absolute safety protection.

After testing myself it is easy to recommend for either use case scenarios and is not expensive so check the link below for more and see if you will pick one up.

 

  • More Peace of Mind: Thanks to Jartoo’s advanced safety voltage reduction technology, it supports both 120V AC wall outlets and 12V+ power banks, while the output voltage is only 12V—well below the 36V safety standard, ensuring safer use for children and seniors. Even in the event of local damage, there is no risk of electrical leakage, providing absolute safety protection.
  • More Efficient Pain Relief: Achieves far-infrared rapid heating in just 30s with a power consumption of only 30W, making it 80% more energy-efficient than other heating pads, saving about 1 kWh per day. The heat penetrates deeply into the skin and joints through infrared, without causing dryness. It helps effectively relieve menstrual cramps, back pain, neck pain, shoulder aches, and other joint discomfort.
  • More Comfort without Wires: Ultra-soft nano heating material and 510gsm velvet fabric ensures the Jartoo Nano electric pad feels soft and perfectly conforms to your body, eliminating the stiffness and discomfort of wires.
  • More Convenient to Clean: The innovative nano heating material, with a structural strength 100x that of steel, ensures exceptional durability. Unlike traditional electric heating pad, it won’t get damaged during washing or drying, and even pets can hardly damage it. Clean and dry with confidence (recommended drying below 149°F).
  • More Practical: The Jartoo Nano heating pad is innovatively equipped with a separate wireless remote control to adjust 6 temperature levels (104°F-167°F) and 6 timer settings (30-360 mins). Additionally, you can directly control the temperature using the buttons on the heating pad, making it even more convenient to use.

TOZO NC3 ANC Earbuds Review

The TOZO NC3 ANC are their latest earbuds now on offer and at an affordable price too but do they lack in the audio department? The answer is no and for the price these should be on your radar for those on a budget and who want that bit more that others offer.

The earbuds are your typical design and fit well in the ears they are clean and to the point and once the right tips are on you will have a good seal and good passive noise isolation. The case they come in is also cool with an LED display giving you a heads up on your battery status on the fly.

When it comes to features there is plenty to talk about, for the audio there is 12mm drivers that pack a punch with decent volume to be had and you also have ANC built in up to 45db which is not shabby at the price point here. The ANC works well too,not only this you have other modes to pick from to make them an all round pair of earbuds for anybody and not just a sports enthusiast.

You have transparency mode leisure mode normal mode and wind reduction mode which also works well on calls with 6 mics and ENC noise cancelling on my testing no real issues noted both ends and calls clear. The optional modes also allows you to hear your surroundings if out walking or jogging etc and they can be worn in the gym.

The audio is excellent once again and with the TOZO app you are in control with all the features on board such as the several EQ options plus you can create your own which is great, not only that there is the option to customize your earbuds to your liking with access to your voice assistant and I have test both on Android and iOS and no issues to report.

Battery life is also decent with up to 55 hours however this will vary per user and their settings as with any earbuds on the market that offer all these features if you are low on juice ten minutes will give you an hour of play.

With an iP rating slated at IPX8 these are perfect for the outdoors the gym and more without having to worry about them getting damaged and if you happen to misplace an earbud you can use find my earbuds via bluetooth so overall a pretty good pair of earbuds that do not disappoint with audio despite the cost, check out the video review below for more.

Whoop 4.0 review

Over the last few months I have been testing out the WHOOP 4.0 and now I am testing out the new WHOOP 5.0 MG and after using the WHOOP 4.0 I can say it has changed me in several ways including habits which I find a good thing and not only that I did wear this to bed for test duration something I never done even with smartwatches and still do not.

I have countless smartwatches that can give me stats on the fly all day long and they are getting better but boring too all doing the same thing however I do use the stats to keep in check but WHOOP has given me more insights than you could imagine with much more than expected even my doctor was impressed with how it works.

I have noticed more and more people wearing WHOOP over the last few months and have actually stopped some and asked how they feel about it and it is all positive bar the price with some, on the price though you can pick a plan just like you can go out and buy a smartwatch at any price tier and get what you pay for.

What is different with WHOOP there is no screen to start with so you are not constantly looking at your wrist all day long like you would with a watch I have taken off my smartwatch much more now trying to escape the notifications given this keeps me off my phone which is the purpose of wearing a watch but at times you just need a detox and no better time than now, also I did compare some factors with several watches to WHOOP to see how consistent it was and it indeed was consistent.

The features on WHOOP 4.0 are a plenty like sports for instance same as a smartwatch however it is the data it delves into that is much deeper than what your traditional smartwatch can give and all the other features that come with it, from selecting activities, recovery, strain and of course sleep activity which is something I always avoid, wearing a watch to bed and I do have a sleep problem but wore this to bed to just see how bad it actually is and it is horrific.

Having passed this info to my doctor he is now going to try help but over the years I have tried everything and nothing worked I have now though on the say so of WHOOP changed my lifestyle in many ways I am less stressed however the sleep issue will be a long term cure I think. You do have a community on WHOOP and a journal which I find handy too and these should be used daily to keep in check if you want to achieve goals.

You can see some results down below of how I got on and now testing the new MG model I will continue to monitor my health and will update again later on but for me with what this offers it is the only tech product that has changed me in several ways and for the better at my age ditching old habits and gaining new ones.

OpenRock S2 Open-Ear Sports Earbuds Review

OpenRock S2 Open-Ear Sports Earbuds are their latest on offer and packed with features as expected and we have been testing these out the last while and it is time to talk about them if you are in the market for new Open- Ear sports earbuds these might be for you.

Presented nicely as always you will find all you need in the box and the case itself is quite cool with a pebble type matt finish means it is not a case that will slip out of your hand like some can.

The earbuds themselves are quite cool with not touch based options but they have a button at each end that works perfectly each time allowing you to get the command you want rather than unwanted ones you would get with gesture based earbuds.

The fit is secure and these will not fall out they are also light and robust look well and clean and not cumbersome looking, in fact after some time wearing them you will forget they are there.

There is all the features you would expect to find here and with their app you have some new options you can play/pause,skip/reverse access your voice assistant and volume control you can also manage calls and all actions tried and tested worked well each time.

Battery life is also impressive here with up to 32 hours on a single charge and there is also fast charging which 5 mins charging giving you up to 8 hours which is impressive. Battery longevity will of course vary by user and their settings as usual. Users can also set safe volume limits and over-time reminders via the APP as we demo in the video review below.

Sound is excellent here with the 12mm drivers and 30w output inside despite no ANC which means you can hear your surroundings but the type of user these are aimed at it is not a bad thing, in a quite environment you would be the full benefit of near in er earbuds it must be said and overall the sound is excellent for open-ear earbuds you also have access to the app seen below for more options including find your buds and much more.

Overall for the price here and being ope-ear earbuds they are easy to recommend and pack a punch with audio and do not sound tinny maxed out or have any latency issues, calls where also good here with their 4 mic AI noise cancellation and to top it off you have dual device connectivity which today is an important feature for those who work from phones and laptops together.

Skullcandy METHOD 360 ANC Review

The Skullcandy METHOD 360 ANC are the latest earbuds now on offer from brand who this time have teamed up with BOSE and all for the better and as a regular user of Skullcandy products these knock it out of the park when it comes to the audio experience for the price you pay and stick it up to more expensive earbuds.

These come in a really cool case too which sweeten the deal for me as I like cases that are not traditional cases earbuds usually come in and they have a caribiner type lock for your bag or jeans etc.

The earbuds themselves also look cool with a nice solid build and also ear wings to give you a more secure fit, these will not budge and do try them all for the perfect seal and fit which gives you the best audio results and they give great passive noise isolation when fitted too without even touching the app.

The audio experience here is better than expected yet again in fact it is great and powered by BOSE and with the Skull-iQ app you are in control here.

Highs lows and mids great no lag latency and super bass and loud, with the controls which we go through in the video below you have multiple options at hand to get the perfect sound stage for you which only enhances the full audio experience which is one of the best at this price I have seen in a long time.

Overall you will not be dissapointed here with the complete package and for the price it again begs the question for the need to fork out silly money for earbuds these days and moreover they come in an exciting range of colours too..

Skull-iQ app

Shokz OpenFit 2 True Wireless Earbuds Review

The Shokz OpenFit 2 True Wireless Earbuds are a pair of open ear styled earbuds which look clean and fit well on the ears and are ideal for those into fitness and more.

Coming in a nicely presented package these are not only for those into sports but for any one else really as open-ear styled earbuds are a thing now and you will have noticed more wearing them.

The design is clean and they have a nice matt finish on the unit we reviewed they also come in Beige we tested the Black ones so there is a choice of colour and I would prefer the Beige over Black personally but hey.

The case itself is also nice and will protect the Shokz OpenFit 2 whilst not in use there is decent battery life here to with up to 48hrs all in though this will vary per user and their settings and ten minutes charge gives two hours extra which is great.

OpenFit 2 brings you bigger, better, more dynamic open-ear sound with DualBoost Technology, OpenBass 2.0 and Direct Pitch 2.0 and yes you seen the word bass which I am a fan of and clearly noted with these.

The App is also quite good with a simple UI and easy menu to follow to adjust your settings and try out the EQs or create your own and the sound overall is great for this style of earbud with decent volume no tinny sound when maxed out or lag latency all my test tracts played well overall and that is a long list of tracks from all types of genres.

The controls work well too with a button each side that is tactile and a touch area on the outer part of the main earbuds and no issues to report there we go through all this in the full video review below so do check that out.

Calls were fine on the few I took and you also have the feature of being aware due the design so you have the best of both worlds here and you have multi point pairing again a must have feature for me and in case you loose them at home or in the gym there is find my buds.
