Edifier Comfo C open-ear clip-on earbuds review

The Edifier Comfo C open-ear clip-on earbuds have been in my ears for a bit now and their latest earbud design which is catching on in the market does not disappoint.

Again this is a new style of earbuds now gaining traction in the market and we have tried several to date and these are now getting better each pair we test out.

The presentation is standard here and all you need is in the box and kept simple as always.

The fit is one concern people ask me with these new clip-on earbuds and they fit rather well as any other pair we have reviewed over the last few months and they are secure you can go jogging go to the gym and cycle with these on and with not being a full on in ear earbud you can hear your surroundings which is perfect for those on the move.

They are also comfortable to wear given their design you can wear for hours on end and like any other earbud you will forget they are there in no time.

The sound is quite good here with their 12mm drivers and expected from Edifier and they pack a punch you also have their app to tune things up a little more and now with app access with these earbuds they are getting better and almost like a true in-ear experience most people are custom to these days.

With access to the EDIFIER ConneX App y0u get additional functions: drainage function, personalize control settings, find your earbuds, and some EQ functions making them more favourable over ones out there with no app access.

Highs lows and mids all good no tinny sound no lag latency great bass and decent volume can be had here which is great, you can play/pause skip/reverse tracks basically all you need is here apart from ANC.

You also have decent battery life and calls have been clear on my testing they also have an IP56 rating and overall there is nothing to complain about here and I love the colour we got to checkout see more in the video review below on what to expect.

TOZO PA2 Bluetooth Portable Sports Speaker Review

The TOZO PA2 Bluetooth Portable Sports Speaker is their latest on offer and if anything is to go by with their last model the PA1 this one we looked forward to testing out and it did not disappoint at all it has to be said.

With a design that has changed from the PA1 we checkout before I think this one is better and the colour we reviewed more so and it stands out and looks great.

With the array of keys up top you have all the controls required you have also access to your voice assistant, on top you can play and pause tracks pair with a second speaker and higher and lower the volume you can also skip tracks here and you have an EQ button which I strongly suggest you try out.

With access to the app you have even more at hand which is excellent and let me tell you this speaker packs a punch for its size with dual full range drivers which you can here many samples of below in the video review it packs a serious punch sounds excellent no matter the genre and you will be pleasantly surprised.

There is no sd card slot here which is no big deal and the buttons on top are tactile it is waterproof so trips to the beach or going in holidays is sorted and great battery life on board too with around 25 hours playback in total depending on you settings there is lots to pick from in the app which we also go through in the video below.

iWALK LinkPod Reel 10,000mAh 30W powerbank review

The iWALK LinkPod Reel 10,000mAh powerbank is a handy portable kit to have at home or the office and of course travel which will fit in most pockets and travel bags and if you are someone like me who is on the go with multiple devices this is a must have and convenient.

You can charge up to three devices at once such as earbuds tablets phones laptops and much more and with 10,000mAh of juice inside you are good to go for days depending on your on personal gear on your person.

It looks cool too like a music player of sorts and has a digital display up top to inform you of what power is left, which is quite handy it has bi directional charging and pass through charging making it more efficient and can be used whilst it is charging itself again handy.

It has 30W PD charging on deck with three outputs and so you can also share with others if needed, the party trick with this is the retractable cable on board which means you cant loose it as cables are a thing that go missing all the time and perhaps in their next model they could offer more than one cable and this would be an excellent idea going forward meaning less cables to worry about and go missing.

Check the video below for more and a hands on look.

Bandletic R-Lite Apple Watch Band Review

The Bandletic R-Lite Apple Watch Band is one to check out if you need a new strap for your Apple watch, many people just stick to the one band but many like me have quite a collection of bands which is nice to change out over the course of a year.

This band is two tone and skin friendly and looks good and clips on and off with wase there is a buckle feature on the strap which gives it more security over just the usual magnetic wrap around we see lots of out there today.

They call this a dual security system which works well and their magnets are also stronger than others I have tested before.

The strap is comfortable to wear even if you are into sports and remains secure with upgraded silicon it also allows your skin breathe better.

The strap will suit many of the Apple watch range and there is a selection of colours and other offerings from the brand and affordable.

Check out the video review below for a hands on look..

 

 

  • Dual Security System Design: Bandletic magnetic watch band for men combines a magnetic and Pin-and-Tuck closure, equipped with upgraded N54 magnets (20%-50% stronger). This unique dual-safety design makes sure that your smart watch will stay securely in place and won’t fall off, whether you’re running, working out, doing intense training, or enjoying outdoor activities like camping and hiking
  • Premium Comfort & Durability: Compatible with Apple Watch Bands, these loop straps are made of upgraded silicone, not only soft, comfortable and skin-friendly but also waterproof. You can wear it comfortably all day long, be it in rainy weather or at various occasions like workout, office work, parties, or business meetings. It’s highly scratch-resistant, wear-resistant, and easy to clean, maintaining its pristine look even with regular use
  • Stylish Design & Ideal for Gifting: This athletic and lightweight sport band seamlessly integrates sports, functionality, and fashion. It also comes in multiple colors, including dual-tone options like black/orange, black/pink, white/pink and classic colors such as black, starlight, etc. It can effortlessly match any outfit or occasion, showcasing your personality and charm. Housed in an elegant package, it is an ideal gift for your husband, wife, parents, and friends
  • Wide Compatibility & Adjustable Sizes: This smart watch band fits for All Apple Watch models, compatible with Apple Watch Ultra/Ultra 2 (49mm), Series 10 (46mm 42mm), Series 9 8 7 (45mm 41mm), Series SE 6 5 4 (44mm 40mm), Series 3 2 1 (42mm 38mm). Available in sizes suitable for wrists from 5.5 inches to 8.2 inches (140mm – 210mm). Just check the size on the back of your watch to ensure a perfect fit
  • Easy to Install & Safe to Wear: Compared to traditional fully magnetic ultra watch band, this band features a pin-tuck closure design. It offers the same quick and convenient wearing experience as traditional magnetic bands, yet is more secure and stable. The adjustable holes on the strap not only enhance breathability but also add flexibility in adjustment. For those who frequently change watch bands and are fond of sports and fitness, this is the perfect choice

SoundPEATS POP Clip Review

The SoundPEATS POP Clip has just launched and we had some time to test them beforehand and again with this new clip on ear design I mentioned before we will see more off and this time from SoundPEATS.

The build quality is excellent and robust here as most of these type of earbuds offer a stable hold in the ears some have said on reviewing other similar clip-on earbuds they would fall out but this is not the cas once secured they stay put.

These have an extra benefit over others for some having a button control each side rather than a touch sensitive area giving you more accurate control and less false inputs which is great although thumb memory is key with any new earbuds but buttons do help for some who are not so much into gesture/touch based ones.

Sound is excellent here with the 10.8mm dual  magnet drivers and with the app you get plenty more this time around in the new Peats Audio app which now comes with tracking and gives an audible alert, you can select the controls here to suit your needs and change up the audio with the EQ settings on board we go through this in the video review below and show you what is on offer.

There is an audio test which you should complete to get the best experience it does not take long to do and I always advise this with new earbuds. You also get the choice to have your own custom EQ too which is great but do check out all the other offerings in the app.

There was no lag latency noted or tinny sound when turned up the max which is how it should be and given these do not sit right in your ear canal they still deliver an almost in-ear earbud experience but you also get to hear your surroundings which is good for those who cycle or walk, calls also quite clear to an no issues either end on my testing.

Having tested other products from the brand before the Movie mode is my favourite EQ here so do check this out, another additional feature here with the these left and right sides have automatic adaption so it means it does not matter which side is which when removing or replacing them from the case.

At techbuzz, we always recommend quality brands from trusted suppliers. Kingston Technology, with over 35 years in business, has consistently delivered reliable products, including DRAM and SSDs.

Overall, the Kingston XS1000R 2TB is a top-notch product with impressive warranty and support. It’s lightweight, solid, and offers excellent transfer speeds with backward compatibility with USB 3.2.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Review

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is the latest flagship on off but seen as an iterative upgrade from last years model which to be fair is a common trend amongst smartphone manufacturers and playing it safe, as the saying goes if it aint broke dont fix it.

Having had most the the flagship range over the years Samsung did give some small changes to the phone but you would find hard to distinguish between the last few models from the rear if you are not into your gadgets and the most notable one was the sharp edges ditched it is lighter and has a flat front display which is all good.

OK so it feels better in the hand before but if you have a case no different than any other previous behemoth phone which is good but this time around it looks and feels better. We done a walkthrough of the device here so you can have a better look at the UI and features

AI is the core here and I think people now are getting fed up with the AI terminology being used on a daily basis this is of course for some and not for others and even for me I am fed up hearing about it day in and day out however it is useful once implemented correctly and now all phone makers have their own interpretation of it and most of this we have already seen with Google who may stop Samsung in their tracks.

What are the differences between this year and last years models you might as well here we go.

S25 Ultra weighs in at 218g vs the 24s 232g

The Screen 6.9 vs 6.8 on last years

Main Camera is again 200mp ultrawide is 12mp over last years 50mp the zoom is better this time around being sharper in detail.

In video we have 4K60-24-30. 8K and 4K120 on the S25 on ultra wide while last years maxed out at 4K120

Both have the same 5000mAh battery this time the Spen has no bluetooth which is an odd omission for those who used it, there is a novelty factor to it I hardly used but did come in handy at times I will add and I am sure more productive people may miss this and for me did not use it as much as I would like too but it is great to have the functionality of it still present minus the bluetooth.

When it comes to being a workhorse it is I really liked the NOW briefing this is handy and easy to get the feel of and use to which I think many will enjoy over time as it gets to know you.

As one who used their phone all day long for blogging docs videos social and email and all heavy this was a breeze for me on the S25 Ultra and rightly so this is what it is for and it worked well with no issues no lag nor and shutdowns during the test period.

For camera and video again worked really well better than last years only slightly but you can be the judge of the samples below, yes we actually went out took photos and video day and night so you can see.

 

<a href=”https://youtu.be/PQaJjwHN7Kc?si=gz6kf8vDriuGktp3″>Images and Video Day and Night</a>

&nbsp;

Overall for me the S25 Ultra is again a great smartphone to have but I have been asked if it is worth the upgrade which most of it is software based and will come to other devices in their portfolio so for me if you want the latest and greatest well yes of course if you have last years and sat on the fence and in a two year contract for example with the S24 I would wait until next upgrade is due. There is great features on the S25 Ultra and some already borrowed from Pixel devices which I use daily and it really comes down then to brand loyalists here as to what they want or might already have elsewhere but either way you cant loose on said devices or the S25 Ultra.

TAGRY H08 ANC Headphones Review

The TAGRY H08 ANC Headphones are the latest on offer from the brand and are affordable and comes with a nice presentation which some could take note of.

The headphones are light , comfortable and do not clamp around the ears and fit really snug blocking out lots of the outside noise which is good as there is no app here for ANC fans who want the best in the business, they do however do a good job without the aide of an app and mostly more useful indoors rather than outdoors.

The H08 as mentioned will reduce most of the noise but not all and for the most that will do and calls are also clear here both ends on testing.

There is several buttons on the headset all on one side which keeps it simple and all the functions are at hand including skip and reverse tracks, lower and higher the volume and of course voice assistant access is on board.

With no EQ your stuck with the sound on offer which is slightly on the bass side which for many is ideal you can try third party apps but most are useless being honest.

The buttons are tactile and work really well to be fair meaning no wrong commands which again most would prefer and being on one side helps.

The sound overall is decent with no lag latency noted nor tinny sound when maxed out on all genres tested in my test runs which are pretty extensive and if you like bass these are for you they are decently loud and pack a punch on all genres.

Battery life is excellent here not only that 5 minutes charging gives you 10 hours of charge and with no EQ or app to enhance the experience this should be the case and is you can expect around 98-100 hours of playtime depending on volume control there is however an ANC button on these you can turn on an off and will of course affect the battery longevity regardless it is still pretty good.
