iClever Kid’s Bluetooth Air Conduction Headphones OWS01 review

The iClever Kid’s Bluetooth Air Conduction Headphones OWS01 are their latest product on offer for kids who like to music knowing their little ears will be kept safe. 

Now being kids headphones I am keeping it as a kids product to review and it has to be said the audio is great on these with no lag latency or tinny sound from them maxed out which is of course limited.

They are light but robust and will last and I like the two tone colour here on offer there is three buttons in all here two for volume controls and skipping and reversing tracks.

There is a MFB which will play and pause manage calls and allow you access to your chosen  voice assistant which is also handy given the kids will never use it, but then again.

The fit is nice and these can be worn for hours the 14.2mm drivers pack a decent punch here and your kids will be kept entertained and not only that they will be able to hear their surroundings too which is a very important factor to consider.

TOZO NC9 ANC Earbuds Review

The TOZO NC9 ANC Earbuds are one of their latest on the market and now come with some new AI features since AI is the buzzword but it actually works quite well be it via text or speaking whilst having them in your ears.

The build quality it great and kept simple as always with TOZO and the fit nicely in the ears and with the right tips they will not fall out or budge.

These earbuds require taps to get the commands out and work really well and the earbud controls can be changed to suit your requirements.

There is no wireless charging here or auto play and pause so if these are things you require you may check out others from the brand but this is no huge deal with the audio quality you get here which is the most important factor for most.

The controls work really here and TOZO have been consistent here too we go through this in the video review below.

With the audio in mind yet again it is excellent and up there with more expensive brands out there at a fraction of the cost and there is a huge suite of EQ modes built in plus a community there to pick from and get suggestions, you have several noise cancelling modes here to which is also great including wind reduction mode and leisure mode all these can be changed by a tap too.

The sound is excellent and you will not be disappointed either feeling central and immersive when you turn the volume up and with the level of EQ settings you are in control, highs lows and mids are great excellent bass and no distortion or lag latency noted in my usual test run I was impressed yet again considering the cost factor here.

There is a latency mode built in for the gamers and works well when it comes to the audio so for the gamers you are covered here too.

You now also have AI built into the App whereby you can either type or ask a question which is handy this worked on most occasions and can only see it improve over time.

 

TOZO APP now with AI

 

  • Active Noise Cancellation】Hybrid 3-layer Active Noise Cancellation. 1. Outward-facing microphone detects external sounds and counter with equal anti-noise to first cancel noise. 2. Inward-facing microphone listens inside the ear canal to pick up internal sounds and produce anti-noise again to cancel the left noise. 3. Ear caps prevent 90% of noise going to the ear canal.
  • 【Transparent Mode】You can hear what you want to hear, which lets outside sound in so you can hear and interact with the world around you. You can clearly hear the announcement of the airline or subway and what is happening around you without taking off the headphones.
  • 【Built-in Dual Noise Cancelling Microphone】Double microphone noise reduction system suppresses environmental noise. A dedicated internal and two external microphones pick up your voice and isolate it from outside noise.

Dreame Technology H14 Pro Wet and Dry Vacuum review

The Dreame H14 Pro Wet and Dry Vacuum is a one stop shop for keeping your floors clean in the home or office and is now on offer with their Christmas sale now on.

Over the last few weeks I have been testing this out at home and this is not only for use at home but in the office if you have flooring and it does a superb job and brings them up like new.

With a companion app you have more control too allowing you to to select different modes and speeds as you will see in the video review below. There is also a digital display on top of the unit giving you information and works parallel with the app. You can remotely self clean and dry and change speeds with the app.

The unit itself is well built and simple to use and set up it is mainly plastic keeping the overall weight down. The handle has several controls making life easy and the tanks are easy to remove and put back on which is great the same for the roller too, there is a cool light on the roller which can be turned off but it is best to have it on as it picks up the dirt you cant see whilst hoovering the floor.

A great feature about this is the lie flat option which means you can get underneath furniture like presses and tables and chairs and saves you having to move them around which is annoying.

There is 5 cleaning modes here so you are not short of choice and there is a suction mode this also gets right to the edge of your baseboards and walls which many conventional offerings can’t do.

Running time may vary however this will depend on how you use it and overall battery life for me being around 35- 40 minutes is enough to get all my floors done.

All round the Dreame H14 pro brings some new innovation and features if you are invested in such products and want something new and offers allows you to get the job done efficiently and saving you time with the features on board.

The App

 

Features 

All-Arounder for an Unparalleled Cleaning Performance

The H14 Pro is the perfect solution for cleaning large areas. Thanks to its improved battery capacity (6 x 5,000 mAh), it has an impressive running time of 40 minutes, which allows large living spaces of up to 300m² to be cleaned without interruptions. The H14 Pro also comes with a generous 880ml water tank.

With its 180-degree flat design, the H14 Pro offers enhanced manoeuvrability, allowing easy cleaning under furniture and around tight corners. This stick vacuum can compress to a height of 14cm (8.5cm with the brush head) and boasts an impressive suction power of 18,000Pa, effortlessly removing even large particles.

The innovative Liquid Separation Motor™ ensures powerful cleaning, even when the vacuum is parallel to the floor, and prevents the backflow of used water for smooth operations during intensive cleaning sessions. Powered by a high-speed motor (14,000 RPM), the brush rotates an incredible 520 times per minute during wet vacuuming. This speed ensures that the floor is thoroughly cleaned and streak-free.

In addition, its dual edge cleaning function means the brush head penetrates deep into corners and along the baseboard, combating dirt and deposits. This design can be used to clean the edges of the walls and corners to give hard floors a spectacular shine.

Effortless and Effective Cleaning with the H14 Pro

The H14 Pro utilises 60°C hot water to remove stubborn liquids in as little as five minutes. The dual-rotating brush prevents hair tangles and keeps the brush cover clean, which after washing, uses 60°C hot air to dry the brush, minimising the chance of odours and bacteria.

There are two drying modes that users can choose between. In super-speed mode, the brush dries within five minutes and is then ready for use again. Alternatively, there is a quiet mode for users who prefer a more relaxing atmosphere while cleaning, drying the brush at lowered decibel levels within an hour.

Unlock a World of Personalised Control

Users can customise their cleaning via the Dreamehome app in which they can adjust the output of the cleaning solution, the suction power, and the water flow according to their preferences. Users will also be notified about upcoming maintenance. Additionally, the H14 Pro has an LED display, voice control and LED lighting in the brush head to make dust and dirt more visible.

Prices and Availability

The H14 Pro is now available via the Dreame UK Store and Amazon

Skullcandy Push ANC Active review

Recently we checked out the latest earbuds from Skullcandy which was their new Skullcandy SESH ANC active and they are an excellent pair of earbuds and now it is time for their next offering the Push ANC Active which is ideal for those who want some more and into sports. They are quite similar in looks to the Push Active Burton and TNMT limited edition we also done but with some subtle changes

On getting started you will need to update the software so be sure to get this done for optimal performance and next up is doing creating your personal sound profile which should be done in a quite spot at home or in your office if possible, the test will take 3-4 minutes.

Once set up and the right tips for your ears you are good to go and get listening to some great audio.

Build quality is good as always from the brand and the presentation also the standard affair which stands out on a shelf in a shop we are now seeing this in more shops than ever and good to see and not only that I now see more people in public wearing Skullcandy earbuds and headphones.

Battery life is excellent here and more so if you are not using ANC and EQ profiles with high volumes and ANC on you can expect near the 60 hours claim made by the brand and who buys ANC earbuds and does not use it, the ANC is decent it has to  be said and works well and so does all the hearing modes like stay aware which allows you hear your surroundings.

There are two sets of controls. Yes one for the volume keys and then your touch area on the Skullcandy logo which both work well these can also be customized to your own needs which again is great. You will see this and how it works in the video review below so check it out and not only can you listen to music you can take photos from your earbuds again this is not a new feature with Skullcandy but one that you do not see much of full stop and is cool.

The audio is what you want to hear about and again this is another well executed product with the EQs you can decide which suits you best, highs lows and mids are good and super bass and decent volume call quality is good and no issues both ends on my testing. NO lag latency noted or tinny sound and you also have a gaming mode built in which works well if you are a gamer and again this is no a more common feature dropped into affordable earbuds now.

For those who want choice and options these are a good buy and a solid pair of earbuds Skullcandy users will like if you have not tried the brand before perhaps these might be an option to put on your list, one small caveat I might see is the case size which offers wireless charging so me me this is fine given the case is larger than most.

The App 

 

Features

  • 58 Hours of Listening – Never miss a beat with Push ANC Active’s long-lasting battery life designed to keep one moving
  • IP67 Rating – Dust, sweat and waterproof, these earbuds are constructed to get one through any adventure

FULAIM X5M Wireless Lavalier Microphone review

The FULAIM X5M Wireless Lavalier Microphone is an affordable kit for those who want to up their game in the audio area for podcasts, videos and more.

Coming in a super cool case in comes with plenty of accessories and will be kept secure and charged in the case which alone garners attention and anyone that has been in my house spotted this a mile away not realising how much the technology has changed over the years when it comes to mics.

You have 4GB of on board storage and will store in WAV format and you can then transfer via USB-C however not compressed there is one click noise cancelling too which is hand and it is easy to set up with no software installation required and is widely compatible with other products such as phones and tablets and of course cameras and it is a plug and play set up, in fact the easiest ones to use full stop making it ideal for anyone in a rush or stuck on time.

You get all the attachments in the box along with the three main components here and is securely held in the case when not in use and you get around 9 hours of use and a killer feature is the range it has which is said to be 656ft which is remarkable.

The transmitter itself can be mounted anywhere including you under your shirt or top and not visible and no wires visible giving it a professional look.

There UI is easy to read and there is not an ocean of buttons to play around with and the display is clear and looks well on the unit and in colour.

Compared to other models out there this is the best one stop shop and easy to use mic out there now and worth every penny, see more in the video below and some audio samples.

 

  1. One-touch noise reduction function 
  2. Onboard Memory: Built-in storage function to prevent audio frame drop, loss, and other issues.

  7. Charging case design: Intelligent management of TX/RX power switch, no need for manual operation (automatic shutdown with the lid closed, automatic power on with lid open) 
  8. 18 Hours Long-Lasting Power Supply, easy for outdoor use 
  9. 6 hours of each TX + 6h2 The charging case can fully charge the microphone device twice.

OneOdio Focus A5 Hybrid ANC headphones Review

The OneOdio Focus A5 Hybrid ANC headphones are a clean to the point pair of cans that look well and have a decent build quality and do not cost a fortune.

The do not have an app or case out of the box but again these are not high end headphones and not targeting that high end market either but with other dangling carrots on the box how so they sound overall without the aid of an app to enhance the listening experience.

The build quality is rather good here to start with which is good and the look good to and kept simple, the cups are soft and so is the headband and can be worn for hours not clamping your head either.

The control also kept simple here and all one side and the expected features are still here given there is no app to give oyu more you can access your voice assistant skip and reverse tracks and control the volume you can also control your calls with these too and they sound ok.

The audio is fine for the money but not what it says on the tin with LDAC support and will not win an audiophile over anytime soon, they have 40mm drivers but you need more than this to use LDAC and this did not come across at all and with no EQ the brand did themselves no favour here and there is other brand here with headphones and earbuds that do come with an app and sound better.

They are loud and sound OK though to be fair if you just want a simple turn on and pop on your head and away you go pair of headphones these are fo you the ANC is OK but not the best I have seen and they offer really good battery life and given the marketing of LDAC etc they hit that target also not having and EQ settings.

Overall they are comfortable with simple to use controls and kept clean and simple and there is plenty out there who just want that in a pair of headphones without all the fuss.

Features

1. AI-Based Adaptive Noise Cancellation
2. LDAC Audio Technology

The KraftGeek – JustTap Tap-To-Open Tripod is a handy new tripod on offer for those who want to keep things that bit easier and with this new product it does just that but keeping everything else within the companies ethos intact. If you want another selfie stick check out this one.

If you are familiar with their products which we are this is another new offering making one less slightly annoying thing to deal with and that is opening the tripod legs, no that they have this can they make one that closes just as simple?

Again the product is well built and looks good and is solid there is also a bluetooth remote on the leg so it makes for ease of use when out and about or you want to get that extra wide shot with everyone in it including yourself.

It again goes to a decent height too which makes it more useful in some scenarios and it is very light and will fit in any travel or tech bag which again is excellent. See the video below for more.

Tronsmart Sounfii Q20S Hybrid Noise Cancellation Headphones review

The Tronsmart Sounfii Q20S Hybrid Noise Cancellation Headphones are their latest model on offer next up from the Q20 and come in two colours being Black or White.

Presentation is their standard we all know and love and is kept simple there is a charge cable in the box and 3.5mm cable for direct Hi-Res audio.

The headphones are light they do fold away for travel but no carry case in the box and have all the keys kept on one side which is handy.

The controls present are call controls voice assistant access skip and reverse tracks and volume control there is also a dedicated ANC button to allow you to toggle ANC modes.

The sound is loud and punchy with 40mm drivers on board with no lag latency noted no tinny sound when maxed out on volume and with the EQ settings on board you are in control and with the Tronsmart app there is a notable difference between the EQs unlike other apps out there for earbuds and headphones.

Highs lows and mids all good, good base a treble and with the EQ settings you can get the right sound for you which is great, the buttons are of course fixed here and cant be changed and no need to as they work fine and slightly raised allowing you to navigate blindly and get use to them fairly swiftly.

Overall for the money here these are a great sounding pair of cans at an affordable price with all you need with a massive 60 hour battery life, depending on your own personal settings.

The Tronsmart App 

 

 

• Hybrid Noise Cancellation: Built-in Feedforward and Feedback microphones cancel out up to 40dB of ambient noise, allowing for optimal listening in noisy environments such as airports, commutes, and crowded streets.

• Distortionless Audio: Advanced 40mm dynamic drivers offer premium sound balance with rich & distortionless sound

• Incredible Hi-Res Audio: Experience 3x rich-detailed sound with advanced Hi-Res Audio.

• 90° Swiveling Earpads: The memory foam earpads gently conform to your ears, while the swivel joints of the headband automatically adjust for a perfect fit to your head size.

• Crystal Clear Call: Conversation flows freely with easy hands-free calling in crystal clear clarity.

• Tailored Sound: Customize your music style and adjust your EQ settings to your liking.
