Tech Review – Edifier W830NB Open-Ear Headphones

The Edifier W830NB Open-Ear Headphones have been the latest cans my ears not long after several pairs from the Brand of late which is always music to my ears, recently reviewed here was the W820NB Plus and the WH700NB

So with the newcomer to their product portfolio I was looking forward to checking these guys out which also has access to their ConneX app..

The look is in line with their current portfolio keeping the design hues in order and the fit is great as always with comfortable cups and headband which can be worn for several hours even for gaming as there is a game mode present in the app like many headphones and earbuds come with these days which is good to see.

The controls are all on the right cup which is good and keeping it simple with all your features accessible along with the app to get the custom sound you require which everyone has their own taste there. Alongside the controls is the USB-C charge port and led light and mics.

The finish is robust and clean with a matt finish which has held up well with no marks to date despite the bright colour we have in for review which I preferred out of the colours available.

The controls are raised and work well getting the right command right each time rather than having missed one and they do not trigger accidental commands even when lying down.

Sound quality is as expected with the latest from Edifier here and with their app as seen below and the video review after that we have a great listening experience as one would expect.

Highs lows and mids all good no tinny sound when maxed out and no lag latency noted, with the Hi Res audio LDAC you can be sure to get superb sound with the 40mm drivers and with the app you can customise to your requirements making these an exceptional pair of headphones for the money.

With the ANC turned on you can sit back and enjoy hassle free listening time be it for gaming movies podcasts and more the ANC works really well here and notable in comparison to other brands. try this test at home for yourself and you will notice a clear step in the ANC quality

With multipoint connectivity you can switch between two devices smoothly and for me is an important feature to have making life easy, calls are great nice a clear and with superb battery life and fast charging these are an easy recommendation from me and not expensive and as I have said before the cost to performance ratio has come along way with earbuds and now headphones meaning you do not need to spend silly money for great features and this is what you get here.

Put yourself in the center is the easiest way to put it with these earbuds and just sit back and enjoy movies music and gaming after checking out their app and setting things up which you should do and not skip over it.

Tech Review – Jabra Elite 8 Active Gen 2

The Jabra Elite 8 Active Gen 2 is the second generation of the Elite 8 Active keeping with the tone of the World’s toughest earbuds with a new feature in terms of a plug & play LE Audio smart case for streaming anywhere allowing connection via using the USB-C/3.5mm cable provided. The case and earbud are solid with an Earbud weight of  (each earbud)5g   with an IP rating (Headset) IP68 water resistant in fresh water to a maximum depth of 1.5 metres for up to 30 minutes and are protected from dust and an IP rating (charging case) of IP54. This is to a Military Standard (MIL-STD-810h) ensuring a knock or 2 or in contract with liquid should be ok. The earbuds are manufactured using a springy silicone coating.

This model is available in Olive, Coral, Navy, and Black. 

Accessories supplied

Features

  •         Fully sweatproof, waterproof & workout-proof
  •         Secure in-ear fit for the toughest workouts
  •         Stream spatial sound from equipment & more
  •         Immersive spatial sound answered by Dolby
  •         Natural Hear Through enhanced awareness when you want it
  •         Adaptive Hybrid ANC auto-filters unwanted noise, even in the windiest environments

 

Battery life

Setup and use

The headphones on opening allow for connection to Bluetooth directly while getting the most out of the JabraSound+  is the better option.The earbuds deliver excellent sound quality with customizable EQ settings through the Jabra Sound+ app. The app has received an impressive 4.5 out of 5 rating from over 199,000 reviews and 5 million downloads. The app also allows users to adjust call settings, HearThrough, and Sidetone to their preferences.

 

Smart Case

One of the standout features of the Elite 8 Active Gen 2 is the plug-and-play smart case that allows for audio streaming from any device with a 3.5mm or USB-C output. This versatile case makes it possible to enjoy spatial audio on gym equipment or even your TV at home.

 

Warranty

Jabra offers a 2-year warranty against failure from dust and water with app registration, providing peace of mind for users. The warranty can be easily registered through the Jabra Sound+ app.

 

Conclusion.

The Jabra Elite 8 Active Gen 2 is of excellent build quality using the same formula in design as the previous Elite 8 Active having excellent IP rating for water and dust to military standards. The software JabraSound+  has received excellent reviews and again can’t fault this. The Audio quality is great allowing for customisation of the audio experience or tailored to your style. The Adaptive Hybrid ANC auto-filters are good while the app default is to have the Wind environments turned off (possibly to save battery ) which I feel would be the best turned off as a regularly walking making calls and listening to a variety of music. (With this function turned off – wind distortion on calls is very annoying for the other end of the call. Picking up unwanted noise)

In conclusion, the Jabra Elite 8 Active Gen 2 is an excellent choice for those seeking durable, high-performance earbuds for their workouts and active lifestyles. The addition of the smart case and impressive battery life make them a top contender in the market.

It’s worth noting that Techbuzz Ireland previously reviewed the original Jabra Elite 8 Active, which can be found at

Tech Review – emporia ME6 smartphone

The emporia ME6 smartphone is one with two faces you could say with more thrown in for those who want to keep things simple and play it up with just the normal Android skin.

emporia is known for their simple phones and with last year having their first full fledged smartphone so to speak the SMART 6 but still keeping it easy with this one you can pick which way you want to go and gear up for the full experience when confident enough too even the convoluted sub menus Android has to offer.

It is like any other smartphone when it comes to the specs for their price point which in this instance is very good after testing out and seeing it at launch so I will not bore you to tears with specs etc that are listed below and a detailed video walkthrough so you can see what you are getting into.

The build quality is excellent here in my view and looks more premium than one would expect with nice soft edges that do not dig into your palm and a nice camera array set-up on the rear and prying eyes will be asking questions especially with the red circled heart icon on the rear which we are custom to with emporia devices and that is the panic button that can be remapped to take photos if you wish you can also use it for a torch silent mode or have it do nothing. The camera set-up is just nice anyway and not a huge hump we tend to see to much of today and is annoying now.

You now have an information center on board too which keeps all in one place similarly to your standard phone today but kept simple however this is only on simple mode.There is talkback mode which reads all actions done on device which is really handy. You can see more in the video below on how to switch between modes and it is simple and a key feature thanks to that little man in the corner that I labelled.

Ok so daily tasks then, this phone performs rather well not that the target market would have the phone loaded to the hilt like me but I loaded it and it done as any other phone has done so there is plenty of power under the hood should you happen to have a lot going on like me which is OTT for most daily users.

The screen is vibrant by the way and excellent for media consumption and you have biometric options with face or fingerprint unlock which both worked well you also have audio description to let you know what is going on in supported movies and shows.

Multitasking is fine doing your social and emails is fine and any other taxing applications you might have on the go.

The camera is decent too even with low light shots it is not the best in the world of what you would expect from a 1000 euro plus phone It did a decent job with excellent audio on recording too again you can decide with the samples below.

If you like music well this phone has a trick up its sleeve too and the audio experince is excellent and helped me out alot when testing other product the last few weeks it also has a super voice input option for recording text and ASHA support which means you can stream audio directly into the hearing aids via LE bluetooth.

Overall this is a decent mid range phone for someone who wants that bit more but there is much more under the skin here packed with features for those with some difficulties and certainly something they need in their life.

Key use case scenarios 

1) The user makes the decision: clear, easy user interface or conventional Android mode.  The emporiaME.6 starts up in the familiar Android mode by default. The mobile phone can be switched to the clear, reduced easy mode with just two presses. Or straight back again. It is a conscious decision that YOU make.

2) The Info Centre, which is only available in simple mode.  This is where all notifications come together in one place. Whether it’s a missed call, new email, WhatsApp message or a notification from Facebook Messenger, you can keep an eye on everything here.

3) The external, directly accessible panic button. Press firmly once and help is automatically called. Good to know if you’re walking home alone at night, for example. Or if you are planning a lonely mountain tour. 360 hours (15 days!) of standby time should be enough even in this case.

Normal and easy modes on the emporia ME6

Features

  • 5G smartphone, 6.58-inch touchscreen
  • Physical panic button with 999 / Quick-key
  • Triple-lens 50+2+TOF-MP back camera
  • 8 MP selfie camera
  • Fingerprint sensor for biometric identification
  • NFC for contactless payments
  • Optional easy mode

Tech Review – JBL Live Beam 3 earbuds

The JBL Live Beam 3 earbuds are their latest on offer moving up from the JBL Tour Pro 2 with similar features and looks which unfortunately I never tested but from the getgo I was intrigued by being able to control your music from your earbuds case and how well it would work but these can offer more than one would expect after testing them out now for a few weeks. You can see a detailed first look here.

The presentation is as always excellent and identifiable easily in a store or online and the overall package pretty cool putting up as one of my favourite earbuds case this year so far and that is due to what can be done and how you can use the case and I am pretty sure others will follow in time which in fact some chinese manufacturers have done so with rampant ads on Facebook with a really cheap price so be warned, they most likely will be brutal and cheap knock offs some even using the JBL logo and trying to hide it, yes we seen you….

So the case is excellent and the earbuds are on the small side with small stems LED lights and magnetic points to stay put in your case with subtle branding on the outside of the stem, colour dependent this may stand out more but not in your face.

Of course you get the JBL app to set up the earbuds and you can use the case to do so too however once set up via the app I find you will no linger need to go near the earbuds you can even get message notifications on the earbuds case which is handy and this is also a neat way to keep you away from your phone giving you a little taste of some detox which is not a bad idea. The notifications are not rich however still it is a great idea.

email notification on the JBL Live Beam 3 earbuds case – techbuzzireland

 

Onto the sound as we go into detail on the case in the video review below and overall it is as you would expect from the brand with their custom sounds and app access you are in control not only from your phone but from the case, with their 10mm drivers highs lows and mids all fine nice bass and after going through my test look everything did really well you can customize the sound to your own needs which is vital on a pair of earbuds an no issues for me no lag latency or tinny sound when maxed out which is how I like listening to my music and movies etc.

Some might find the case as a gimmick however I found myself using it all the time and with some travel I have done I have brought them with me and will be doing so on upcoming tech trips very soon so watch out for some new cool tech coming soon here on the site and YouTube.

Battery life is also solid and you have an IP55 rating and with your ANC and really good ambient sound on tap these certainly should be on your radar and not overpriced either compared to the benchmark offerings from Apple.

OIKLA Launches Perception: A Breakthrough Audio Hearing Protection Algorithm for Remora PRO

OIKLA, a trailblazer in audio technology, proudly announces the release of Perception, a revolutionary audio hearing protection algorithm designed for Remora PRO. Leveraging the advanced capabilities of Sonical’s embedded operating system, CosmOS, Perception marks a monumental leap in preserving auditory health while delivering unparalleled audio experiences through headphones and all other ear-worn products.

Remora PRO epitomises OIKLA’s commitment to innovation, offering users an immersive audio experience like never before. With the integration of Perception, Remora PRO guarantees optimal sound quality and user well-being in any listening environment.  In the light of recent data from the World Health Organisation that brings to our attention the huge number of hearing issues being uncovered, in particular with younger listeners, we believe everyone should be protecting their hearing.

OIKLA’s Perception technology seamlessly blends two powerful features to provide an audio experience that feels louder and more immersive while maintaining safe listening levels. This innovative approach ensures users enjoy their favourite sounds without risking their hearing health. Grammy award-winning engineer and producer Ricky Damian endorses this groundbreaking technology, highlighting its potential to revolutionise audio experiences.

Smart Hearing Loss Prevention

Proactive Threshold Monitoring – The technology monitors listening levels and alerts users or limits audio when safe thresholds are exceeded, ensuring continuous protection against hearing damage. This feature ensures that even as audio levels increase, user safety remains a top priority.

 

Advanced Loudness Compensation

Dynamic Content-Based Adjustment – Harnessing the latest ISO standards, Perception fine-tunes loudness based on the audio content and the frequency spectrum of the headphone acoustics. This ensures that users perceive sound as louder and more dynamic without the need for higher volumes, thereby reducing the risk of hearing damage. Audiologists can provide expert advice and solutions to optimize hearing aids or sound systems for safe and effective use.

Enhanced Spatialization – Advanced loudness compensation algorithms amplify spatial audio cues, offering a deeply immersive listening experience. This enhances the perception of sound depth and direction, making the audio experience more engaging and realistic.

“Our partnership with Sonical has allowed us to combine cutting-edge technology with a steadfast commitment to user well-being,” said Luigi Cosi , CEO at OIKLA. “With the launch of Perception for Remora PRO, we are proud to offer users an unparalleled fusion of exceptional audio performance and advanced hearing protection capabilities.”

Gary Spittle, CEO of Sonical adds “Sound level monitoring and hearing protection are among the most requested features that end users ask us to support.  Oikla’s solution comes from the professional plugin community and is a fantastic addition to the CosmOS enabled ecosystem”.  

Remora PRO, equipped with OIKLA’s Perception audio hearing protection algorithm is poised to revolutionise the way users interact with audio content, setting new standards for immersive and responsible listening experiences.
