Tech Review – ExoGun: A Percussive Therapy Device. #ExoGun

Technology permeates all aspects of our everyday lives, including stress relief. There are many devices to help you cope with tension, which is great since going to a professional masseuse or the gym isn’t always possible. You can now get numerous therapeutic gadgets, and one of the best ones is called ExoGun.

 

Let’s see how it can help your body.

ExoGun Benefits

ExoGun is a revolutionary massager with excellent capabilities. Here’s what it brings to the table:

Percussion Massage

Many devices provide therapeutic massage, but ExoGun doesn’t offer regular treatment. It renders the so-called percussion massage, a breakthrough technique for alleviating stress. It’s mainly used in sports, rapidly impacting your muscles to reduce tension and facilitate blood flow.

The method has been likened to Thai massage, but it’s a lot faster. Performing it takes less than 60 seconds, and you don’t need any extra hands to do it.

With four massage heads and six speed settings, ExoGun rapidly strikes your muscles over 30 times each second. It provides additional blood to quickly reduce pain. Apart from a quick, rejuvenating procedure, you can also switch to a slow, relaxation massage.

Whatever method you go for, ExoGun’s percussive therapy comes with tremendous health benefits:

  • Releasing knots and tension – Tangled muscles can be hugely uncomfortable, leading to tightness when moving in a certain way. This condition is triggered by insufficient blood reaching your muscles, which is where percussion massage comes into play. It dispatches blood to the muscles and smoothens out knots, eliminating pain and restoring muscular function.
  • Improving circulation – When the muscles are constricted, blood can’t circulate adequately. This leads to several health problems, preventing oxygen and vital nutrients from arriving at their destination. ExoGun regulates blood flow by opening up blood vessels, which can raise your energy levels.
  • Greater flexibility – Less tension in your muscles results in a greater range of motion. With ExoGun, you can resolve various mobility issues, including the inability to turn the head all the way in one direction and swinging your hips.
  • Enhances mood – People undergoing a percussion massage often feel euphoric after the treatment. With extra energy and reinvigorated muscles, the method can lift your spirits and help you get through the day.
  • Enhancing posture – ExoGun’s percussion massage promotes healthy joints and muscles to preserve proper posture. It helps keep your bones in good condition, supports balance, and addresses aches all over the body.

Ergonomic Grip and Easy Controls

ExoGun comes with anti-slip materials that won’t move up and down in your hand. They also feature shock-absorbing properties, dispersing the strokes without harming your grip. As a result, you can use the device with great precision, enabling you to tackle the affected area more efficiently.

Moreover, there are easy controls to aid to its user-friendly design. Anyone can turn on and use the gadget, whether they’re tech-savvy or not.

Extremely Portable and Quiet

ExoGun doesn’t require any special equipment to power up. The device is cordless and can fit virtually any backpack or bag. It also comes with a carrying case, meaning you can use it at the park, gym, or work. Plus, the battery can last for up to a month, and its quiet operation won’t get on other people’s nerves.

Handle Sore Muscles With ExoGun

Today’s hectic pace of life puts enormous pressure on your entire body. ExoGun can help you address this problem with its groundbreaking deep tissue massage. Using percussion treatment, it releases knots, improves blood flow, and gives your muscles plenty of energy for the rest of the day. The model is also user-friendly, with an ergonomic grip and simple controls to ensure seamless use. To get more details on this product, head over to www.exogun.com.

Tech Review – HIGHEVER Bluetooth Beanie for sleep and sports #Tech #Sports #Sleep

I have reviewed several beanie hats in the past which are an effective idea and simple mostly used in the Winter but this model here can be used in both sports and used as a sleep aide.  This is a really comfortable beanie to wear and is washable too which is nice of course and has simple to use controls on the front identical to controls I have used in similar beanie hats before. You can listen to your music radio and take calls which is handy and it can be also used as a sleep mask which again is handy with the early bright mornings we have now in the Summer.

Having tested in all scenarios this is really comfortable and does not clamp on your head and the speakers are placed either side and can be removed. The thing I find most interesting is how good the sound is with this and much better than I expected, it will not blow you away like some earbuds or headphones but the sound quality is pretty decent and is nice to see. This is ideal for those who like sports and like sleep and is not expensive either and worth a look in my book to try out and costs around 18 euro so for the price it is a nice gift to start with or just something to have at hand at home.. See the video for more below…

Tech Review – Actigun percussive massager. #Actigun #Sports #Health

Actigun is a personalized massage gun with an AI Chip installed -it is made for your physical needs and applicable to all your body parts. Once Actigun is started, the AI chip will react to the condition of your muscles and provide the exact percussive strength you need with a humanized-interactive experience. It comes with 4 and 6-speed settings, 20-gear controls, and 5-replaceable massage heads! This being my second such product I can see the rise in popularity with these.

 

This is an affordable option as there is many out there that can cost much more and there is two models available from the company this being the cheapest option and they are ideal for those into sports percussive massagers which can be great for recovery and maintaining their health. Packed in a nice case too all the fittings you need are present and the battery life on the unit is pretty decent too and it is simple to use with no tech knowledge to get it going with just a power on/off switch with a touch sensitive digital display on top. I have had comments like it looks like a hairdryer or speed gun but this has been said about the previous one I tested and it is what it is for now with the design and there is always some form of tech that looks like something being honest and will be labelled.

This is well built and solid with a matt finish and grippy rubber so you will not let it drop and if you do I would say it will take a beating anyway it is robust all round.

Depending on your needs there is several pieces in the case that can help you out and pretty much everything is covered from the get go. I am no massage gun expert but from trying two models you can feel the benefits it must be said after not using one until now I can see and feel a difference and the benefit these products offer the user. As mentioned there is two options available and there is cheaper out there so I cant compare to those just now as it would be unfair but it is not a bad price to pay but there is more expensive ones and being honest it is hard to tell just what the differences is between those and the two I have tried unless I test them personally but for your money hear you cant really complain.

Tech Review – Creative SXFI Theater headphones. #Tech #Headphones

If you have not tried any of the Creative SXFI headphones you do not know what you are missing and the Theater is no different but there is only one thing about these that has me asking questions and that is why lock them out from your mobile phone and why the need to set up an account on the app and pc but I got a workaround for the smartphone issue which is fine but means you need to get a USB adapter to make it work but having said that aside using these for gaming and watching films these are something you should have at your disposal regardless but they really need to make them more open. You can use them via 3.5 mm cable but it just defeats the purpose and you miss out on all the features. I tested on PC/Laptop PS5 and phone and all went works well.

DEVICE COMPATIBILITY

Experience the immersive, holographic audio experience across devices:

For Desktops, PCs, Laptops

  • Microsoft® Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8.0, Windows 7
  • Mac OS X® 10.9 or higher

For Consoles

  • Nintendo Switch OS 5.0 or later
  • PS4/PS4 Pro Firmware Ver 5.0 or later

Setting up is simple enough and I get the need for lag free connectivity but these should be open to all, once you have downloaded the app and set up profiles all it is is a case of swapping out the usb dongle and the connect button is on the dongle to connect not the device it is plugged into.. You do a head mapping process and it might be better to have someone help you do this especially for the ears part.

I have got this to work on my phone with USB-C adapter the process is a bit a laborious having to set up twice and then set new profile for each device but it is worth it in the end.

 

Check out what you get in the box below…

 

So what are you getting here exactly.. A good comfortable pair of headphones to start with and the main selling point here is the immersive, holographic audio experience across devices and it puts you slap bang in the middle of everything and you can tune to your needs and oh boy it is great, having tested several of the previous models this is just as good if not better for that immersive audio experience you would expect to find from the SXFI range..

 

Primarily these are aimed at gamers but can be used in other scenarios so limited to an extent and I had to find a way to use them elsewhere this does depend though on what you are connected to they will not work on any tv I have or my projectors but do so on my phone. If you want to plug these in direct you can with the 3.5 mm cable but useless without the app hence why I say they should be just an open BT connection.

There is controls on the headset and a removable mic which is great and the volume control is a wheel rather than buttons which I like and then you have the super x-fi button which changes the tune altogether you also have the cool led rings around the cups for a nice effect even though you cant see it personally really but it is a nice touch nonetheless.

For gaming they are great for long term use and worth it and very comfortable and notice no sweating even with hours of non stop gaming this will depend on the day though and might change somewhat in the hotter days I will come back to that again when we do get some hot weather as we are expecting some next week..

 

 

Tech Review – Tronsmart Apollo Air Plus earbuds #Tronsmart #ApolloAirPlus

The tronsmart Apollo air Plus are near identical to the Apollo air we just recently checked out, They come with a nice sized case too and fits in any pocket giving you around 20 hours in total playtime with case and around 5 hours with one charge this is less when you use ANC and high volumes, there is wireless charging here which is great as I have adopted wireless charging around the house.

The earbuds are a comfortable fit but slight protrude from the ears with a long chamber but this is normal and there is others out there that stick out much more and this to be honest doesn’t bother me. For calls these are also good but it is the music and how it sounds is what is most important. When it comes to modes we have three options here and they are ideal for indoors outdoors and commutes and so on giving you ambient mode ANC on/off.

Tronsmart Apollo Air Plus techbuzzireland
Tronsmart Apollo Air Plus techbuzzireland

These really do get loud highs lows and mids are good, listening to music is great and also for films You Tube and Netflix etc they really shine in action movies with great direction and they give a near like headphone experience. The app as mentioned above really enhances the overall experince here with choices like 3d,deep bass,vocal,rock and much more to choose from you will see the full details in the video review. There is no lag latency to be noted either during my testing.

Controls are a breeze to use here given you might find them sensitive to begin with, everything is here from skip and reverse tracks .volume control and voice assistant and you can adjust the settings to your requirement in the app. There is no difference between the app set up here with the Apollo air all things remain identical throughout.

Features

  • 35dB full frequency hybrid active noise cancelling.
  • Industry-leading Qualcomm QCC3046 chip.
  • High-quality Qualcomm® aptX™ audio decoding.
  • Customized graphene driver for better sound quality.
  • Three modes switching designed for different usage scenarios.

Tech Review – QuiteOn3 the worlds smallest noise cancelling earbuds to help with sleep #QuiteOn3 #Sleep #Tech

I have tested many earbuds over the years and seen how well the tech has got better in them and how they have gotten smaller in size and getting better features but these have to be the smallest earbuds fullstop nothing comes close to the size of them in my collection but these are not for your music experience they are to help block out the outside world when you need to get some sleep or even peace for that matter and they are half the size of the QuiteOn2, you can see both in the unboxing below for more and if this is the shape of things to come would you like your earbuds this size in general??

 

These are small no doubt about it and it is great to see how these have changed from their previous iteration and they do just as good a job you do not need any apps you do not listen to music with these it must be made clear you just take them out of the really fancy case they come in and pick the right tips and let them sit in your ears for 15 mins and they get the perfect seal.

Once in you can sit or lie back and forget about what is going on outside because you will not hear it and get along with you sleep or peace and that is how simple this is and how they work, the previous model you had an on/off switch which is gone this time which I liked and was good for testing but this is where some room wa smade to get these to the size they are now which is something else..

QuiteOn2 vs QuiteOn3 techbuzzireland

Some of the most common noises that interrupt sleep are low-frequency sounds from heating  systems, appliances, traffic, airplanes, snoring and noisy neighbors. QuietOn 3’s ANC technology  eliminates ambient sound by automatically generating opposite waveforms to nullify the low  frequencies, resulting in a much quieter and more peaceful environment for sleep.

QuiteOn3 buds and case open techbuzzireland

QuiteOn3 case closed techbuzzireland
QuiteOn3 case open

To ensure maximum comfort, each pair of QuietOn 3 comes with four sizes of eartips. With no  wireless setup or connectivity required, and automatic charging in the included case, QuietOn 3  earbuds are always ready to pop in and provide more restful sleep.

The QuietOn 3 earbuds charge in the included carrying case, which contains its own battery to  guarantee a full-charge at all times. A single charge provides 28 hours of use, so the earbuds have  the power to last all day, or for several nights.

They might seem expensive for some over the traditional method of using cheaper earplugs but they are excellent and look cool and are some piece of tech that comes with a quality charging case too. At the end of the day the big question is do they work and the answer is yes..

Tech Review – JBL Live Pro+ review #JBL #Tech

JBL have a nice new pair of TWS earbuds here and they certainly tick all the boxes after testing these out for a few days and in short they are a super pair of earbuds that deliver. Having tested the biggest range of true wireless earbuds in Ireland these are in my top 10 right now and that is no mean feat. You can see the unboxing experience over on our You Tube

With the new model here you get great adaptive ANC which is great and wireless charging, these are by no means new to the market but features that stand up the Airpods and Freebuds hype we constantly see, A familiar trend I might add but I dont buy it at all.. A familiar design language yet comfortable they fit well and with the right tips on they isolate pretty well. In the app you do get to check your best fit and you should do so to get the most out of them.. You will be asked to put on the earbuds to get this right from the start.

 

Controls are sensitive here but you will not have any issues missing a beat with the controls once you get use to them and again in the app you can personalise these to your taste, On the main homepage of the app you get your battery status ANC, ambient sound and smart Audio and video settings and all these allow you get more from the earbuds. We go through the app below anyway so you can see what you are in for and it is all good.

Sound is great here too, nice bass good separation, punchy and direction even great for movie watching and they work a treat for music Netflix and more and after my usual test loop I am well pleased with how these sound and they also have decent volume too which I like. If this is perhaps your first pair of true wireless you will be really impressed and if not and one who changes up every year or so you will be equally impressed if you don’t fall for the continuous praise for the the aforementioned.

Tech Review – Sudio ETT true wireless earbuds.. #Tech #sudiosweden #shapingsound

Having tested the all new Sudio ETT for some time now they are a great pair of earbuds with great looks and stand out which was one thing noted during my testing, people asking what brand they are, something often asked but people like the colour here in particular which moves away from the traditional Black or White variants that are most common but there seems to be a change here with more manufacturers offering more colours which is nice and gives the consumer choice..

The Sudio ETT come with nice packaging as do all Sudio products and is nice to see as first impressions do last for many you get a presentation overall and you can see this in the unboxing experience below…Slip into an audio world where you’re in control. Sudio Ett’s Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) is pure listening, uninterrupted, while comfort fitted detachable ear tips ensure perfect sound seal for any ear. Automatic Transparency Mode intuitively lowers noise reduction, allowing you to hear your own voice clearly, that is, if you decide to answer when the outside world calls.

 

 

Sound

The Sudio ETT overall pack a decent punch here however I think they could do better with an app as I mentioned in previous Sudio product reviews but overall they are fine with 10mm drivers they deliver quite well as a whole with highs lows and mids doing fine and for the average user they will have no problems with these at all, not as loud as I would like but loud enough and for my usual test loop they performed well in fairness they lack a deep bass and calls are fine too and for music and movies etc you will be happy enough if you are not a true audiophile which I am not but know good from bad due to the amount of earbuds I test here. There was no lag latency noticed here either.

Comfort and Build 

Comfort is nice here and with the right buds the ANC does a good job overall they look nice have a nice soft finish to them and fit really well and will not fall out once in your ears, I do really like the build quality of these earbuds and they look great too and as mentioned the range of colours you get to pick from is nice and different.. Also you get an IPX5 rating here and wireless charging to boot. Battery life is not too bad either which is around 30 hours without ANC and around 22 with ANC or 6 and 4 per charge

These cost 119 euro now which is a fair price to pay and you get a well built product that delivers for the most part on sound with some features missing, check out the video below for more and how to use the earbuds and let us know if you have picked these up and your thoughts below.

Tech Review – Tronsmart Apollo Air ANC earbuds #Tronsmart #ApolloAir #Tech

Tronsmart have sent us some of their latest tech and the first in is the Apollo air which we have been testing out the past while and these are an excellent pair of earbuds to own. They do have another version of these but we will come back to them at a later date. The Apollo Air will run you around 60 euro which is not bad and the sound quality here with these are excellent and to top it off they now have an app which enhances the soundstage even more and also these a nice and loud.

They come with a nice sized case too and fits in any pocket giving you around 20 hours in total playtime with case and around 5 hours with one charge this is less when you use ANC and high volumes, there is no wireless charging here which is fine but would have made these more a sweeter deal but still great value for money.

The earbuds are a comfortable fit but slight protrude from the ears with a long chamber but this is normal and there is others out there that stick out much more and this to be honest doesn’t bother me. For calls these are also good but it is the music and how it sounds is what is most important.

For the money here you cant go wrong and they come in two colours.
