Jartoo Nano Heating Pad Review

Jartoo Nano Heating Pad is their latest product on offer after their recently reviewed Carbon NanoTube heated blanket which will come in handy over the Winter months and cold days especially in Ireland.

This product is on the more compact size and is also portable and comes well presented and not only keeps you warm but helps out with pain relief which again is handy and more again it is cheap to run saving you electricity.

This heating pad has the same material used as before and is super soft to the touch and silky smooth overall and comfortable no matter what case you may use it in. It helps effectively relieve menstrual cramps, back pain, neck pain, shoulder aches, and other joint discomfort.

It also comes with a wireless remote allowing you to set alarms and temperatures and it is simple to use and set up as you will see in the video review down below.

Thanks to Jartoo’s advanced safety voltage reduction technology, it supports both 120V AC wall outlets and 12V+ power banks, while the output voltage is only 12V—well below the 36V safety standard, ensuring safer use for children and seniors. Even in the event of local damage, there is no risk of electrical leakage, providing absolute safety protection.

After testing myself it is easy to recommend for either use case scenarios and is not expensive so check the link below for more and see if you will pick one up.

 

  • More Peace of Mind: Thanks to Jartoo’s advanced safety voltage reduction technology, it supports both 120V AC wall outlets and 12V+ power banks, while the output voltage is only 12V—well below the 36V safety standard, ensuring safer use for children and seniors. Even in the event of local damage, there is no risk of electrical leakage, providing absolute safety protection.
  • More Efficient Pain Relief: Achieves far-infrared rapid heating in just 30s with a power consumption of only 30W, making it 80% more energy-efficient than other heating pads, saving about 1 kWh per day. The heat penetrates deeply into the skin and joints through infrared, without causing dryness. It helps effectively relieve menstrual cramps, back pain, neck pain, shoulder aches, and other joint discomfort.
  • More Comfort without Wires: Ultra-soft nano heating material and 510gsm velvet fabric ensures the Jartoo Nano electric pad feels soft and perfectly conforms to your body, eliminating the stiffness and discomfort of wires.
  • More Convenient to Clean: The innovative nano heating material, with a structural strength 100x that of steel, ensures exceptional durability. Unlike traditional electric heating pad, it won’t get damaged during washing or drying, and even pets can hardly damage it. Clean and dry with confidence (recommended drying below 149°F).
  • More Practical: The Jartoo Nano heating pad is innovatively equipped with a separate wireless remote control to adjust 6 temperature levels (104°F-167°F) and 6 timer settings (30-360 mins). Additionally, you can directly control the temperature using the buttons on the heating pad, making it even more convenient to use.

OpenRock S2 Open-Ear Sports Earbuds Review

OpenRock S2 Open-Ear Sports Earbuds are their latest on offer and packed with features as expected and we have been testing these out the last while and it is time to talk about them if you are in the market for new Open- Ear sports earbuds these might be for you.

Presented nicely as always you will find all you need in the box and the case itself is quite cool with a pebble type matt finish means it is not a case that will slip out of your hand like some can.

The earbuds themselves are quite cool with not touch based options but they have a button at each end that works perfectly each time allowing you to get the command you want rather than unwanted ones you would get with gesture based earbuds.

The fit is secure and these will not fall out they are also light and robust look well and clean and not cumbersome looking, in fact after some time wearing them you will forget they are there.

There is all the features you would expect to find here and with their app you have some new options you can play/pause,skip/reverse access your voice assistant and volume control you can also manage calls and all actions tried and tested worked well each time.

Battery life is also impressive here with up to 32 hours on a single charge and there is also fast charging which 5 mins charging giving you up to 8 hours which is impressive. Battery longevity will of course vary by user and their settings as usual. Users can also set safe volume limits and over-time reminders via the APP as we demo in the video review below.

Sound is excellent here with the 12mm drivers and 30w output inside despite no ANC which means you can hear your surroundings but the type of user these are aimed at it is not a bad thing, in a quite environment you would be the full benefit of near in er earbuds it must be said and overall the sound is excellent for open-ear earbuds you also have access to the app seen below for more options including find your buds and much more.

Overall for the price here and being ope-ear earbuds they are easy to recommend and pack a punch with audio and do not sound tinny maxed out or have any latency issues, calls where also good here with their 4 mic AI noise cancellation and to top it off you have dual device connectivity which today is an important feature for those who work from phones and laptops together.

Shokz OpenFit 2 True Wireless Earbuds Review

The Shokz OpenFit 2 True Wireless Earbuds are a pair of open ear styled earbuds which look clean and fit well on the ears and are ideal for those into fitness and more.

Coming in a nicely presented package these are not only for those into sports but for any one else really as open-ear styled earbuds are a thing now and you will have noticed more wearing them.

The design is clean and they have a nice matt finish on the unit we reviewed they also come in Beige we tested the Black ones so there is a choice of colour and I would prefer the Beige over Black personally but hey.

The case itself is also nice and will protect the Shokz OpenFit 2 whilst not in use there is decent battery life here to with up to 48hrs all in though this will vary per user and their settings and ten minutes charge gives two hours extra which is great.

OpenFit 2 brings you bigger, better, more dynamic open-ear sound with DualBoost Technology, OpenBass 2.0 and Direct Pitch 2.0 and yes you seen the word bass which I am a fan of and clearly noted with these.

The App is also quite good with a simple UI and easy menu to follow to adjust your settings and try out the EQs or create your own and the sound overall is great for this style of earbud with decent volume no tinny sound when maxed out or lag latency all my test tracts played well overall and that is a long list of tracks from all types of genres.

The controls work well too with a button each side that is tactile and a touch area on the outer part of the main earbuds and no issues to report there we go through all this in the full video review below so do check that out.

Calls were fine on the few I took and you also have the feature of being aware due the design so you have the best of both worlds here and you have multi point pairing again a must have feature for me and in case you loose them at home or in the gym there is find my buds.

Canyon True Wireless Stereo Headset OnRun 11 Sport – Review

The Canyon OnRun 11 Sport features a carefully designed ergonomic shape and secure ear hooks that conform comfortably to your ears, so you get a snug and stable fit. No matter how intense your workout gets, these earbuds will stay in place, preventing slippage or discomfort and after wearing these for some time on holidays and going to the gym and some cycling these have remained secure in my ears and will not budge for anyone else due to their ergonomic design.
Built to withstand the rigors of your active lifestyle, the Canyon OnRun 11 Sport is sweat and water resistant. You can confidently wear them during your most challenging workouts without worrying about damage from perspiration. The OnRun 11 Sport utilizes a high-capacity battery that delivers impressive playtime. Enjoy up to 7.5 hours of continuous music playback on a single charge, and the charging case provides an additional 28 hours of power.
The OnRun 11 Sport is engineered specifically for sports enthusiasts. The lightweight design, secure fit, and sweat resistance make these earbuds the ideal choice for athletes who demand the best in performance and comfort.
These are designed for athletes and fitness enthusiasts, these earbuds deliver powerful sound, a secure fit, and long-lasting battery life. Equipped with the latest Bluetooth 5.4 technology, however there is no app for these which is disappointing but not a huge deal, the OnRun 11 Sport offers faster data transfer, improved phone call quality, and a wider frequency range for richer audio.
With up to 7.5 hours of continuous playback and a charging case that provides an additional 28 hours of power, you can enjoy your favourite music without interruption. Plus, the convenient wireless charging feature makes it easy to keep your earbuds powered up.
When it comes to controls and audio we have a touch base system here which works well and preferential for many in the sports scene, with the audio and no app these sounded better than one would expect to be fair and are quite fine as are out of the box with decent highs lows and mids no lag latency and no tinny sound when maxed out on the volume which for me is always the highest it can go and all genres played well here form my usual test run with earbuds and headphones. Some bass drops where quite remarkable in fact.

Double Tap the L/R earbud CTC: Play/Pause Three Tap the R earbud CTC: Next song Three Tap the L earbud CTC: Previous song

We are missing ANC but honestly full volume on these you can forget about what is going on outside , there seems to be no volume control either and finally there is no auto play or pause or hear-through either present. Calls where fine for the few I took on both ends also.
Overall these are not the best on the market but for the price you cant complain I guess, they are loud with decent punchy musics that hit the right notes all round and have enough features for those not fussy, check the video below for more.

LaserPecker LP5 20W Fiber & Diode Dual Laser Engraver Review

The LaserPecker LP5 20W Fiber & Diode Dual Laser Engraver is a serious piece of kit to have at your disposal and basically anyone can use it be it for business or just pleasure with the capabilities here if you have a few quid spare and want to enhance or create things at home or the office, this is one of those things I would typically buy as just to have it kind of thing thats what an impulse buyer does, well for me anyway.

To use this takes time alot of time so make sure you have it and schedule your day well this will depend on the material you decide to use and I find leather the best and quickest to get done but this is for more than leather and can be used on a wide variety of materials.

Personalization is a huge thing these days and often expensive as I have found out in the past when buying gifts or products and this is ideal for making something your own.

There is several ad ons you can also purchase and we have the safety cage which would be vital buy can be used on its on out of the box as you will see in the video review down below.

Making room for your set up is also key here as it will take up space and once you are ready to go the software is the next thing you will require both on mobile and laptop you have a choice which is great.

Choosing the material and what you want to engrave is the next thing to be careful with there will be some trial and error till you get everything right but after this it is fun and a great way to get making products nobody else has and add your touch with names, designs, images cliparts and much much more.

Safety is another important element here and both the cage and engraver itself has a safety cut off switch which is hand and thankfully never had to use but it was tested and worked with no issues.

 

Instant Store Customization in 15 Seconds: Start engraving during customer wait times – perfect for mall kiosks. Create custom keychains/phone cases with zero pre-setup.

  • Ultra-Portable Workshop (6.02kg): Half the weight of similar engravers. 92% faster setup at craft fairs vs others’ 12kg machines – fits in car trunks for mobile services.
  • 20W Dual Laser: 10X Speed & 0.0027mm Precision. Cut/engrave metals (gold, steel, etc.) and non-metals (wood, leather, etc.) at 10,000mm/s. Achieve 8K details with 2x higher accuracy (0.0027mm) vs similar engravers.

Viltrox K90 30W RGB Fill Light Review

The Viltrox K90 30W RGB Fill Light is a new product from the company that will certainly have eyes looking with what you get for your money here when it comes to fill lights.

Presentation is a good start and excels here with the box and the extra carry case inside which has not one but two lights with a protective sleeve and velcro straps holding them nice and tidy in the protective case with cables and brackets too.

The light itself is 3ft long sturdy and robust with protective housing and a small screen with buttons on the end however there is an app for this light which takes it to the next level as you will see in the screenshots below and video review later on.

I have tested many fill lights before and this one is best by far being versatile and having USB-C charging with a long battery life makes it more pleasing as often the case these lights do not last long but this one up to 70 minutes.

What is even better is the brightness of this light and the wide colour and CCT range making it ideal for anyone who uses such lights at present to take a look at this one and for me a replacement to my present set up and now permanently fixed over my desk offering an array of colour options to set the tone and mood for what work I might be doing
