The Super EQ Q2 Pro earbuds are the latest on offer from the company and are a solid purchase after my testing over some weeks, these have a slightly larger profile than the average ear so may not suit all however they are a solid fit and more so for those with larger ears.
Build and design
These are built well and solid and made from plastic with a step effect from the top down they are similar to others out there in shape and size but the effect from the top down makes them stand out and they look nice in fairness with the gold band around the touch area of the earbud which is great by the way for executing controls
Sound
These are really good on the bass side of things and are considered bass heavy in my book which for some is what they want to hear, they are loud and punchy fine with highs lows and mids and overall gave me a great listening experince overall and cant really complain, even on maxed out volume there was no distortion either no lag latency and loud and feeling centre they do a great job even though there is no app for them at present.
These can be also used individually which is another plus and will extend battery life if you are one to use earbuds in this fashion be it for work or driving for example.
Call are fine too work really well and clear both ends on my testing period..
Modes
You have transparency mode here which is what we are now seeing drop into the cheaper earbuds before this was ANC and the transparency mode worked quite well even in a busy environment.

The Realme 8i is as budget phone offering a 6.6 inch 120 hz refresh rate screen which seems to be all the hype today however once you have tried this refresh rate for yourself you will find it hard to look back, I myself had had to demonstrate here to people what it actually means and putting a 60 hz refresh rate beside the 120 hz device people then seen what it means the same applies for 90 hz devices but some still find it hard to notice and it might take time for others to get the whole idea of what it is all about.
This device also sports a huge battery too a 5000 mAh which for most will see an all day battery life which today still seems an issue for most manufacturers but to be fair power users like me spend most of my day doing my work from my mobile phone.
Unboxing and walkthrough of the Realme 8i
Design and build
The phone does however look premium being made with plastic and the back of the phone looks really cool and changes colour when it moves in the light and it stands out, the camera hump also on the rear is much smaller than any of its rivals and not a huge chunk popping out which has got really annoying now with the same design over and over again but this time it is a much smaller affair and looks well, the phone does look well and feel solid in the hand overall.
Performance
The Realme 8i was fine for me and my daily tasks which include multitasking and the same would apply to anyone else given I am a power user my phones get much more used and abused you could say but overall this did not fail at all for me and was good to see at this level, I did some gaming on the phone just to test it and high rated games is where it did get sluggish at times but it is not a phone that is intended for gaming anyway but for the most it is fine.
Processor
The device is equipped with realme’s first G96 chip. It’s manufactured using a 12 nm process and has two large A75 cores and 6 small A55 cores. Its main frequency reaches up to 2.05GHz. It’s really a powerful processor. Compared to realme 7i, the performance of 8i has improved 65%. The GPU has been improved by 91%, and the CPU by 51%.
This G96 is also a processor that realme and MediaTek jointly oversaw and launched. For this processor, realme assigned 7 senior engineers to guide the whole process. Over the course of 106 days, they had technically optimized 3 major performance features. Firstly, Helio G96 is the only G9 series chip that can power 120Hz displays. Secondly, it supports realme’s first screen whose brightness can reach as low as 1 nit. Lastly, its gaming performance that completely surpasses that of realme 7i, providing a smoother gaming experience.
Realme launched the technology –Vitual RAM, upgraded from computers to smartphones. Virtual RAM actually uses the phone’s internal storage as makeshift RAM and increases the total amount of RAM on your smartphone. For realme 8i，realme launces 5GB Virtual RAM on 6GB+128GB version and this can improve the phone’s overall smoothness. （ realme 8i 4GB+64GB does not support Virtual RAM.）
Camera
50MP Primary Camera
realme 8i’s main camera features 50MP sensor. With f/1.8 large aperture, and 5P lens that secures enough light and makes your pictures more clear and brighter. In addition, the product also supports PDAF that makes the focus more rapid and precise. You can judge yourself from the video and image samples we took below both in the day and night time.
B&W Lens
The B&W lens provide special artistic effect for portrait, which reproduce portraits in black and white, providing higher exposure and enhancing the contrast between light and dark of images. In the Portrait mode, exposure, color temperature, hue, and other parameters are repeatedly fine adjusted.

Conclusion
This is my first Realme device so can’t compare it to its other models but for me it did quite well overall if you want good battery life and a good display it has all this and more, the cameras are fine in the daytime but in low light levels not the best but this is to be expected anyway and even more expensive devices fail miserably here, it is a good looking device that is capable.
We have seen many similar attempts at a product like this before and well some have worked and some have not and this one works for several reasons and reduces the need to carry extra cables with you when this does it in one and more and not only that it has a bottle opener built in to the tough stainless steel case. Also note this is a pre release unit and the following is to be noted.
The cable sits too tightly in the stainless-steel casing, cause it to scratch the cable when removing it from the casing. This will be loosened
There are still small gaps when the adapters are connected to the cable, and the USB A adapter. The gap will be significantly reduced.
The stainless-steel casing is shinier than we want it to be. The final color will be slightly more matte, which will also alter the appearance of final color of the product.
The Rose Gold cable needs to be adjusted so that the color of the cable and the adapters are consistent.
The aesthetics of the magnet will be improved: The magnet will be less shiny, and there will be no visible glue.
The lightning adapter speed and data transmission is not functioning as expected. This will be improved to our expected specifications before we go into mass production
The USB-A port size will be adjusted as it sits too tightly in the ports, causing scratches after normal use. The size of the USB-A adapter will be adjusted.
High Six offers
Data and charging cable with fast charging capabilities (up to 60 watts) for your keychain.

Includes additional connectors for USB-A, micro-USB and Lightning

USB – C to Lightning = 2.4A
USB – A to USB – C = PD 60W 3A
USB – A to Micro – USB = 2.4
Who is this for
Well anyone really and in particular one who travels as someone who does bringing multiple cables is a pain and you often misplace them, also with other similar products I have tried before you certainly misplace the little tips but this has magnets and you can place the tips on it which is really cool.
If you have more than one product this is also ideal as you can charge just about anything except micro – usb products which is far and few between however there is still plenty of tech on the market and also tech we use today..

Vloggers and Bloggers need some kit every now and then to get things done and this is something that might be of interest and affordable and can be used in several scenarios and again it is portable and it is also light. The Cocoda Phone Tripod, Extendable comes with a telescopic pole that gets higher than most and comes with a bluetooth remote control which makes many tasks much easier rather than having a second person with you all the time which is great.
This product also has a better base than most allowing it to hold more weight and is built with aluminum rather than plastic which many tend to be. With the main portion that holds devices being effectively 360 degrees it is also not fixed and gives you more freedom too which is another benefit, some of my kit for example is fixed and some is more flexible and this one here does a great job of covering all angles.

Having tested many of Tronsmarts products they never seem to disappoint and for gamers these earbuds should be something on your radar and of course they are affordable but the question is do they work and are they worth the money, for gamers they like a certain set of parameters for the audio experience and there is other brands out there that are known to gamers for that particular sound the gamer likes but for your money here in short these do a fine job.
Build quality
There are really cool earbuds with a glossy finish which is fine and have a small stem and akin to Airpods in design, I prefer this type of approach and the quality seems good, they are durable and look solid but time will tell on this but for me they should last just as long as any other earbud, they come in a really cool charge case that is transparent and I really like this effect and it is nice to see a different approach to the case which makes them look really nice overall.
Fit
Fit here is fine and they are comfortable, there is a stem but this is fine, some folk do not like stems but for me I do not really mind at all and they are comfortable even for long term use ie many hours of gaming and music.
Controls
There is no app here which might change as the company does have an app with a selection of their earbuds on it, to change your options you just tap the upper side and they worked really well here with every tap and that for me is a great feature as some earbuds do not respond to every command, you have all the features required and the same applies to use these for music, I tested these in both gaming and music and worked well.
tronsmart battle techbuzzireland
Sound
These sound great i have to say and ideal for both gaming and music and anything else you would use earbuds for they are crisp and clear and sharp delivering great direction and gives you a level of immersion when gaming you will not be disappointed here with these and they perform really well for the price you pay which is an added bonus. You can triple tap to change between gaming mode and music mode and the job is done.
The Tronsmart Battle Gaming Earbuds has Bluetooth 5.0 with AVRCP, A2DP, HFP codecs. It supports voice commands and IPX5 certification for water and dust resistance. The battery life will be about 20 hours and this does vary to volume levels and so on. Skip track,reverse track and volume controls are all present here.
