Google Pixel Buds 2a Review

The Google Pixex Buds 2a are the latest addition to the Pixel line up and a welcome addtion coming in at an affordable price bringing ANC on board which is actually great you will see this the minute you put them on, well I did in my case anyway and on first setting up you will be prompted to do an update.

Before moving on you should look through the app and check the seal is correct and you have the right tips in for the best experience. There is a simple seal test to take and should be done it takes seconds.

The 2a adopts a compact, lightweight design that closely mirrors the higher-end Pro model, making them noticeably smaller than their A-Series predecessors. The highlight of the physical design is the twist-to-adjust stabilizer, a small, semi-circular fin that secures the bud in the outer ear, offering both all-day comfort and a secure fit for exercise.

They boast an IP54 rating for the earbuds (sweat and water resistant) and an IPX4 rating for the case, making them durable companions for daily commutes and workouts. The pebble-shaped charging case is small and pocketable, though it now charges exclusively via USB-C, dropping the wireless charging feature found in previous premium models.

There is also a replaceable battery in the charging case, a fantastic move toward repairability and extending the product’s lifespan.

The Pixel Buds 2a are powered by the Google Tensor A1 chip and feature a custom-designed 11mm dynamic speaker drivers. The audio profile is generally clear and well-balanced, with a satisfying, punchy bass response that doesn’t overwhelm the mids or highs. Users can fine-tune the sound signature using the five-band equalizer in the Pixel Buds app. There is no tinny sound either when maxed out on volume or lag latency notice during my testing and calls clear.

The inclusion of Spatial Audio is a win for immersion, though it only works on newer Pixel devices and does not support the head-tracking feature of the Pro model but still work well after my testing.

For the first time in the A-series line, the 2a includes Active Noise Cancellation with Silent Seal 1.5. This feature is surprisingly capable for a mid-range bud, effectively drowning out low-frequency rumbles like vehilces and airplane noise.

Transparency Mode also performs well, letting in environmental noise naturally for situational awareness this ideal for those who commute of for those who jog or walk late at night or early mornings in the dark.

Smarts

  • Gemini AI: They offer hands-free access to Gemini (Google’s AI assistant) by simply saying “Hey Google” or using a press-and-hold gesture. This integrates deeply with your phone for real-time information retrieval, directions, and more.
  • Connectivity: Bluetooth Multipoint allows connection to two devices simultaneously, and Audio Switch handles seamless transitions between compatible Pixel devices (phone, watch, tablet) based on what you are listening to.
  • Clear Calling: Google’s AI-powered call technology, enhanced by wind-blocking mesh, delivers clear voice pickup, even in noisy outdoor environments.

Overall for the money here you cant go wrong and if you are into a ecosystem of products and you have a pixel device like the watch and phone you will love them and how seamlessy everything works.

emporia SMART.ME7 Review

The Emporia Smart ME7 is positioned as a safety-focused, durable smartphone developed for practicality over flashy specs. Weighing in at 173 grams, it feels noticeably heavier in hand than most mainstream models, but the robust build quality delivers confidence in everyday use. The rear of the device features a physical Panic button and a fingerprint sensor for quick access and enhanced security – a unique combination for those seeking peace of mind.

Emporia states: “The emporia 7 series is all about safety and durability: a fully equipped Android smartphone with a comprehensive security package, ongoing security patches and the tried-and-tested Panic button.”

Key Features & Specification Table

Feature Details & Notes
Display 5.45-inch touchscreen, comfortable size
Build IP54-rated protection: splash resistant, not waterproof
Weight 173 g – heavier than typical, adds solid feel
Battery Replaceable, rated for 1000+ cycles, up to 8 days standby
Operating System Android 15; Emporia Easy Mode option for simplified UI
Processor MT6765X Octa-Core: entry-level, smooth for everyday tasks but not for gaming
RAM/Storage 6 GB RAM / 128 GB ROM, expandable up to 256 GB microSD
Cameras Main: Triple lens (13+0.3+2 MP); Front: 8 MP
Connectivity 2G / 3G / 4G (no 5G), NFC for contactless payments
Durability Spare parts ordering allowed, incl. battery replacements
Extras Hearing aid compatibility (M4/T4), torch, camera shortcuts via Panic button
Warranty 1 year standard

 

 

Safety, Spares & Support

Emporia’s decision to fit a dedicated Panic button offers tangible safety for older users or those with medical needs. The Panic button can trigger calls,  with customisation options for rapid help. Unlike most manufacturers, Emporia supports direct user ordering of spares, such as batteries (priced around €18), via their website. This approach improves long-term ownership and reduces dependence on service centres, which often charge premium rates for repairs.

Usability & Practicality

Emporia positions its devices for seniors, those less familiar with touchscreens, or anyone seeking longevity without unnecessary complexity.. The printed manual with QR codes and clear instructions stands out as refreshingly user friendly in a landscape dominated by online-only guides.

Performance & Weaknesses

The MT6765X Octa-Core processor is strictly entry-level – adequate for calls, web, and social apps, but does not support 5G networks and will struggle with gaming and graphics-intensive apps. Screen transitions aren’t as fluid as on mid-range or high-end devices, so power users may notice lag. Battery life, however, is excellent for its class, and the customisability of the hardware (spare parts, manual battery replacement) gives the Smart ME7 an edge for those who value reliability over raw horsepower.

The camera setup, typical for value-focused phones, delivers passable results for snapshots and video calls but won’t compete with flagship handsets. The IP54 rating gives basic splash resistance but is not suitable for prolonged outdoor use in rain or direct water.

Brand Background

Techbuzz Ireland has reviewed a variety of  Emporia releases over the past decade, including the SMART.6 lite, emporia 313, JOY-LTE, WATCHjoy Smartwatch, TOUCHsmart.3, and others. Emporia was founded in Austria in 1991 and develops products for the UK, Ireland, and Europe, with a design presence in Austria and Germany and manufacturing based in Shenzhen, China.

Final Verdict

The Emporia Smart ME7 delivers excellent battery life, unique safety features, and practical support options, truly aligning with the brand’s focus on simplicity and reliability. While the lack of 5G and the entry-level processor set real limits for gaming or heavy multitasking, these are honest trade-offs for a phone designed with real-world durability and user-friendliness in mind. The honest addition of spares ordering, a physical manual, and the Panic button make the ME7 stand out in a crowded market.

Recommended for: Seniors, first-time smartphone users, or anyone seeking a robust, uncomplicated handset with strong support for repairs and maintenance.

annke C300 2K 3MP PoE Camera Review

The annke C300 (model 171EP / AP171P0102) is a 2K 3MP Outdoor PoE Security IP Camera designed for homeowners and small businesses who want reliable coverage without a premium price tag. At TechBuzz Ireland we’ve tested a wide range of annke cameras, and the C300 sits at the more affordable end of their portfolio. Although it’s a basic model compared to annke’s flagship cameras, it delivers good image quality and is straightforward to set up, making it a practical entry-level CCTV option.

Design and Build

The C300 has a compact footprint at 138.8 × 60.9 × 57.9 mm, though it remains clearly visible when installed. Its plastic housing is lightweight but carries an IP67 waterproof and dustproof rating, providing durability for both indoor and outdoor installation. For a budget IP camera, the build quality inspires confidence for long-term use in Irish weather conditions.

 

Features

★ 3MP IR bullet network camera

★ 2.8mm lens brings everything back to life

★ Efficient H.265+ compression technology

★ Clear day and night vision with 3D DNR and DWDR

★ IP67 Dust and Waterproof Rating

★ Support PoE &DC12V

 

Key specification

 

 

Setup and Storage Considerations

The installation process is straightforward for anyone familiar with PoE security cameras. The C300 can be connected to:

  • A compatible NVR system
  • annke Vision desktop software (free to download)
  • SADP tool for network detection and setup

Our setup using the annke Vision software was quick and smooth, making it easy to view and configure the camera on a laptop.

 

ANNKE Download Center: One-Stop Resource for Software & Setup Guides

 

 

Security setup requirements

 

 

 

As part of the setup adding a camera is reasonably straightforward.

As there is no onboard storage on the camera, options for storage have to be decided

 

One important note for buyers: the manual incorrectly suggests SD card support. This particular model does not include an SD slot or onboard storage, meaning users will need to plan for external NVR storage or network-based recording. While this may be a limitation for those seeking standalone recording, it is a common trade-off in budget PoE models.

Day and Night Performance

In daylight, the C300 produced clear and colourful 3MP footage, suitable for property monitoring. The wide-angle lens captures a good field of view, although fine detail such as facial recognition at distance is limited compared to higher resolution 4K cameras.

At night, the EXIR 2.0 infrared provided stable black-and-white images with visibility up to 20m. While it won’t replace colour night vision cameras in detail or range, it is perfectly functional for general surveillance of entrances, driveways, or back gardens.

Motion detection alerts worked well during testing and were responsive across both daytime and nighttime scenarios.

Warranty and Reliability

annke backs the C300 with a two-year warranty, offering reassurance to buyers who want reliable long-term performance. For an affordable outdoor PoE camera, the warranty coverage is a strong selling point.

Broader annke Ecosystem

At TechBuzz we’ve tested several of annke’s product lines, most notably the NightChroma 3.0 PoE Cameras and other PoE-based models. Annke’s wider portfolio also includes wireless security systems for cable-free setups and advanced PTZ units with 25x and 32x optical zoom, as well as complete 4K / 12MP multi-camera NVR kits. While we have not yet tested the wireless or PTZ systems, it’s important to flag them as part of annke’s broader offering, giving consumers a range of options from entry-level cameras like the C300 through to high-end professional solutions.

Conclusion

The annke C300 is a competent and reliable budget outdoor PoE security camera. It cannot compete with Annke’s advanced NightChroma or colour night vision cameras in terms of resolution and detail, but it performs well as a cost-effective solution for basic surveillance needs.

With easy PoE setup, dependable day/night image quality, and the reassurance of a two-year warranty, the C300 makes sense for users looking to secure their home or small business without over-spending. As an entry point into annke’s ecosystem, it offers solid performance and a straightforward user experience, backed by the wider support of annke’s software and NVR options.

For those considering PoE CCTV the C300 provides an accessible starting point at a reasonable cost.

Shokz OpenDots ONE Review

Shokz, the pioneer of open-ear audio innovation latest offering is the OpenDots ONE and we have been testing these out the last while and while this is a earbud style that is catching on now with many manufacturers these are one of the best in class yet for bone conduction.
The most notable feature of the OpenDots ONE is their unique design. Instead of a traditional ear-hook or in-ear fit, they use a “JointArc” clip-on mechanism made of a flexible nickel-titanium alloy with soft silicone padding. At just 6.5 grams per earbud, they are exceptionally lightweight and designed to provide a secure fit when running or training in the gym.

Open-ear earbuds can compromise on sound quality due to the design and shape and not fitting quite like tradional earbuds. However, the OpenDots ONE aim to defy this expectation with their Bassphere technology which uses dual 11.8mm drivers to deliver an almost in-ear earbud experience.  This, combined with Dolby Audio support, results in a surprisingly full and bass-rich sound for their class. These also have Dynamic Ear Detection on deck which means like many of these they can differentiate between left and right automatically. 

In a quiet environment, the audio is clear and balanced. Voices and music are well-defined, and the Bassphere technology provides a much-needed low-end presence that is often lacking in open-ear designs. You will not get the full in-ear or headphone experience but these are close and with the app you have control over the sound stage you want they are loud and there is notable differences between the EQs here unlike other offerings out there with a similar design you will be impressed there is some leakeage when they are maxed out on volume 

The OpenDots ONE boast impressive battery life. You can expect up to 10 hours of continuous music playback on a single charge, with the compact wireless charging case providing an additional 30 hours for a total of 40 hours. A quick 10-minute charge gives you two hours of listening time. The case supports both USB-C and Qi wireless charging, adding a layer of convenience this will be different for every user with how they have theirs set up but the battery life claimed as most do is claim is almost accurate.

The Shokz OpenDots ONE are a great addition into the clip-on open-ear market. They offer excellent comfort and a secure fit, making them a fantastic choice for those who dislike traditional earbuds or prioritize situational awareness which with the dark nights now closing in is a not a bad idea for people that walk or jog etc and those who want to try the new design who have not done so yet this is around the 20th pair of this type of clip-on for me to review now and they come with Find My Earbuds on board which is great if lost or isplaced at home of the office and whilst not a fan when they came out I am now.

While no open-ear headphone can completely match the sound isolation of an in-ear model or headphones the OpenDots ONE deliver a  good audio experience with impressive bass for their design and give you a near tpyical in- ear experience. 

The touch controls can be a bit tricky as there is two areas but you will over time get the thumb memory in action, and with their app you have more control, these are more expensive that others we have tried but as mentioned one of the best so far this year, check out the video below for more..

SHOKZ App
Key Highlights:
  • Effortless Clip-On Style
    Designed with a sleek nickel-titanium “JointArc™” frame wrapped in soft, skin-friendly silicone, OpenDots ONE gently clips onto the outer ear—offering a secure fit that complements glasses, hats, or jewellery.
  • Interchangeable and Intuitive
    No more fumbling with left and right earbuds. OpenDots ONE features Dynamic Ear Detection that automatically senses which ear it’s in, so you can wear and store them interchangeably—no worrying about sides.
  • Surprisingly Mighty Sound, Pocket-Sized Design
    Shokz’s proprietary Bassphere™ dual-speaker module packs the punch of a 16 mm driver into a compact sphere—delivering rich, immersive audio enhanced further by Dolby Audio and DirectPitch™ technology to minimize sound leakage.
  • All-Day Wear, All-Day Battery
    Each earbud delivers up to 10 hours of playtime, with the compact charging case extending that to a remarkable 40 hours. A quick 10-minute charge gives an additional 2 hours—plus, the case supports convenient wireless charging.
  • Stay Aware, Stay Comfortable
    Open-ear design keeps you alert to ambient sounds—ideal for commuting, exercising, or multitasking. The ergonomic JointArc™ and featherlight build (around 6.5 g per earbud) ensure all-day comfort without ear-canal pressure.
  • Adaptive Intelligence at Your Fingertips
    Customize your sound with four EQ presets—or build your own—in the Shokz App. Activate Dolby Audio for an immersive output, set up multipoint pairing, tailor touch gestures, access “Find My Earbuds”, monitor battery levels, and stay updated with firmware enhancements.
  • Rugged and Ready
    Built for life, OpenDots ONE boasts an IP54 rating for protection against sweat and splashes, making them a dependable choice for active lifestyles.

OpenDots ONE is now available from Harvey Norman Ireland, DID Electrical and other independent retailers

LYPERTEK Soundfree S30 bone conduction headphones Review

The Lypertek Soundfree S30 is a versatile pair of open-ear headphones designed for active lifestyles. Unlike traditional earbuds that sit in your ear canal, the S30 uses cartilage (bone) conduction technology, which delivers sound through the cartilage of your ear while leaving your ear canal open. This is a key feature for runners, cyclists, and anyone who needs to be aware of their surroundings and with the dark evenings closing in these are ideal and not only this there is a safety LED light to make others aware you are there especially for those joggers who still insist on wearing all Black in the dark

Going to the gym jogging or swimming these have an IP68 waterproof and dustproof rating.  They also come with 32GB of built-in storage, allowing you to load over 8,000 songs and leave your phone behind when you work out. This dual-mode functionality, offering both Bluetooth and MP3 playback, is a huge convenience and with most gyms banning phones these days it again is ideal.

The audio clear with balanced audio with 10mm drivers, though they may not have the deep bass of traditional in-ear headphones Lypertek has included three EQ presets (Bass, Balance, and Vocal) that you can switch between with a simple tap and there is a notable difference between the EQs, I would of like to have seen an app but hey they are good as is out of the box. 

Overall, the Lypertek Soundfree S30 excels as a multi-functional sports headphone. It delivers a solid blend of open-ear safety, rugged durability, and the freedom of an on-board music player, making it a compelling choice for athletes and outdoor enthusiasts and general users with great sound.
