Skullcandy launches three new value headsets as they re-enter the gaming market

Skullcandy, the #1 selling brand in Stereo Headphones and True Wireless Earbuds under $100, has just announced its re-entry to the gaming category with a trio of value-packed headsets for all skill levels. Offering compatibility across PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Switch and mobile, the all-new SLYR, SLYR Pro and PLYR Multi-Platform Gaming Headsets were purpose built for gamers, delivering rich, detailed sound, crystal-clear communications and all-day comfort. The collection is rolling out now at Skullcandy.com, starting at $59.99 MSRP for SLYR and ranging to $129.99 MSRP for PLYR.

“Everyone knows Skullcandy offers a premium sound experience and getting back into gaming is something our fans have been requesting for years–We’re stoked to release our new multi-platform gaming collection into the wild,” said Jason Luthman, Director of Global Product Management, Skullcandy. “As gamers will attest, exceptional audio, seamless communication and comfort are absolutely crucial. From illuminating unique nuances with personalized audio profiles, to executing crystal-clear player-to-player comms, we packed PLYR, SLYR Pro and SLYR with the must-have technologies gamers demand for fully immersive play.”

The ideal lifestyle-to-livestream audio companion, PLYR — the collection’s flagship offering — is perfect for gamers who desire maximum flexibility to play both wired or wirelessly via Bluetooth. To add maximum dimension to the audio experience, PLYR adapted Skullcandy’s well-known Personal Sound technology, re-engineering it specifically for gaming. Like prescription glasses, but for your ears, the enhanced technology is called Enhanced Sound Perception (ESP) and requires users to take an innovative hearing test to tune audio drivers specifically to the user’s unique hearing.

To deliver crystal clear communications, PLYR features Clear Voice Smart Mic, which leverages artificial intelligence to isolate the speaker’s voice and cut out background noises, such as keyboard clicks. The technology works with both the boom mic, and on-board headset mic if boom mic is removed. Dual-connect capabilities enables users to connect via wired and wireless connection to stream audio from two separate devices, simultaneously. Lastly, an adjustable suspension headband reduces pressure on top of the head — an absolute must for all-day play.

For gamers seeking a premium wired-only gaming experience, SLYR Pro is the answer, offering must-have features like ESP and Clear Voice Smart Mic technology with detachable boom mic. SLYR Pro also sports a slightly redesigned headband for those who prefer a more classic, yet comfortable fit.

Casual gamers seeking an entry-level solution will want to turn their attention to SLYR. Supreme Sound maximizes the gaming experience, providing premium in-game audio depth to ensure users not only hear enemies creeping up from behind, but also the roar of the crowd. SLYR also features a bi-directional removable boom mic that enables focused voice pickup, ensuring gamers can seamlessly communicate and collaborate with clarity in multiplayer settings.

PLYR, SLYR Pro and SLYR models are all constructed from tough, lightweight materials, each boasting head-conforming, memory-foam ear cushions wrapped in moisture wicking, breathable material. Easy-to-reach, on-board controls across each headset enables gamers to quickly mute and adjust volume without gameplay interference. Boom mics are also equipped with a mic-status LED so players know at a glance when they’re on mute or “on air.” SLYR Pro and PLYR models also include the ability to toggle through various gaming EQs, including ESP and custom EQ.

First look – Meta Quest 2

VR was once a thing then died off over the last few years, I was a huge fan and had a huge collections of headsets from all brands and still today have some here which have not been really used that much in fairness, I remember when VR was a thing and we covered lots of news and headsets then I just seemed to fade away. Here is the thing though it has been still growing in the background for different applications with some companies but as for the consumer end a different story, I have from time to time took a headset out and this one was in a different league a the time which was for education and was really cool from Veative VR and I was lucky to test this here in Ireland and the only one to do so.

Sony has a new VR headset coming out next year which I can’t wait for and it is welcome in my book and hopefully add to the revival of VR AR and of course we await something from Apple pretty soon to which some will say it will kickstart the industry just like their 5G phones didn’t and we all know how 5G is at the moment, depending where you reside of course but as for Ireland it has not been a hit and will not be for some time yet and event though 5G phones at the start where expensive and far and few between that has changed but the uptake in 5G has not and I wonder if the same thing will apply here for Augmented and Virtual reality.. Point being sony made it a bit more affordable for those to access a great VR experience but has so much wires and set-up a pain but was a step up from what Samsung offered and Sony already had hardwear out there for millions to access and cheaper than the other high end offering s back then like HTC VIVE for example.

I still have my note 4 and the Samsung Gear VR headset today, Samsung did it really well with not having to have an expensive system to drive it  (if you had a compatible phone that is) and was affordable which is akin to this headset which just requires a Facebook account to login which some sniff at but ask the same some do they use social media at all which is hypocritical all the same but having said that I get it when it comes to data but as it always has been and will be for the foreseeable future YOU are the product like it or not and of course if you choose to use such hardware and we all know how Facebook do things.

So for me I have two Facebook accounts and chose my websites one to use the device and login etc I did have an Oculus account before obviously with Samsung VR and did not care, today though a different matter. Data is a big thing but you are the product and that is a fact end of story..

Anyway moving on this headset I have a while and have been to busy with work the site and personal matter to actually test this out so I had some time to have a quick look and test it out recently and I like what I see apart from paying for lots of content, it has took me back to the Samsung VR times and would rate this headset slightly better considering you do not need any additional expensive hardwear just to run it, will the novelty wear off? Give me a few weeks and let me see and if it is worth the near 500 euro price tag to buy and ask any questions you might have over on the YouTube channel where we give you a hands on approach and not the lazy stock image one with no context as there is many today who still have not even tried the VR experience and even now I have showed some friends and they have been impressed but some felt dizzy.

ENDORFY – A new European brand on the international technology stage

Cooling, the owner of SPC Gear and SilentiumPC, has today introduced its new global brand – ENDORFY – to the world. The move is as a result of international business expansion and the broadening of the target audience. ENDORFY goes beyond the gaming sector, wanting to reach all modern technology fans with both its message and products you will see some reviews soon here on techbuzzireland so stay tuned.

The creation of the ENDORFY brand is a response to the dynamically changing nature of the technology market. It is also a long-term investment in securing the company’s path towards further growth on the global market. Cooling has created a single and powerful brand that follows modern communication trends, meeting the demands of global consumers, as well as establishing itself across the technology market.

“After the success on local markets, the next natural step for us is further expansion,” says Łukasz Zdziech, CEO of Cooling. He goes on to say, “Our company constantly strives to develop both the quality of offered products and the range of operations. We have already noted promising results on several foreign markets, e.g. in the Czech Republic and Germany. However, the time has come to significantly increase the scale of our operations. We will be present in nearly all of Europe, and in the future, all over the world. We want to compete with the biggest companies in the industry.”

The formation of the brand is also the result of an expanded target audience. ENDORFY provides its products to all types of technology users. Their communication reaches far beyond just the gaming industry. “We originate from the gaming world, and we will always acknowledge this. Nevertheless, our audience has long since shifted from being exclusively gamers. They are also content creators, such as streamers, podcasters, writers or casual users, who do not need to play games at all to enjoy technology,” explains Łukasz Zdziech. Following this he states, “In response to these dynamic changes, we decided to adapt the brand to be relevant to both our gaming audience and those who do not come from the world of gaming. We want to be a brand associated with positive emotions delivered by technology.”

ENDORFY is a brand for everyone who wants to have fun using technology. This close, almost collegial relationship between the company and its audience is at the heart of ENDORFY’s creation, and the entire vision behind the new Cooling brand.

 

“During the design development of ENDORFY, we wondered what all our extremely diverse customer groups had in common. We finally found the answer. It’s the emotions they experience through technology,” adds Jacek Serwański, Cooling’s Marketing Director. He then says, “It is the joy of winning a match in a game, or the pride when you show your friends your self-built PC. It is also a moment of unwinding after a long day with your favourite music playing in your headphones. These small moments are very precious to us, because although they are characterised by great individuality, they actually bring all technology users together.”

The brand has also ensured that its visual communication stands out from the crowd. ENDORFY’s image is based on a unique colour palette. It is not used by any entity known in the industry. The two main colours are yellow and blue, supported by black, white and various shades of grey. “We pay a lot of attention to details, which can be seen for example, in the packaging boxes

we designed for ENDORFY,” explains Jacek Serwański. He states, “The white box immediately stands out on the shop shelf, where black usually dominates in the technology department. On the box, we show the product from almost every angle. This allows the customer to see what they are buying even without opening the packaging.”

Key products that will be available as early as the 5th of October 2022:

 

  • Navis F280 Cooling System – ensuring silent operation with no fan noise
  • Solum Studio & Solum Broadcast Microphones – a solution that provides clear sound and ultimate comfort during long hours of recording
  • Wireless Thock Compact Keyboard Series – allowing you to forget about tangled cables and focus on your tasks
  • GEM and GEM Plus Mice in the “Onyx White” colour – combining incredible accuracy and original design with a unique colour scheme

The history of Cooling began in 1993, when Zbigniew Zdziech founded a company that sold computer accessories. Ten years later, the company began offering its products online, and in 2007, the manufacturer created its first brand, SilentiumPC, which produced fans. The brand quickly expanded, and went on to offer PC cases, air coolers, and power supplies as early as 2012. Another breakthrough came in 2016, when the company decided to also target the computer accessories and peripherals market, launching its second brand, SPC Gear. The new brand’s first product was a high-quality gaming chair, followed by two series of gaming keyboards, a streaming microphone, an ultra-light mouse, and the “VIRO” headphones, which became a huge sales success. The company currently holds a leading position on the Polish market in the sales segments of PC cases, power supplies, and air cooling, and the SPC Gear VIRO headphones continuously hold first place on the sales charts.

GravaStar Launches New Open Ear Bluetooth Earbuds with Sci-Fi Inspired Interchangeable Cases

GravaStar, creators of one-of-a-kind sci-fi inspired hi-fi audio products, has announced the launch of Sirius P5, earbuds and cases that combine hyper-modern creativity, functionality and customization with mecha-inspired designs. The lightweight open ear Sirius P5 features 12mm dynamic drivers and Qualcomm aptX high-definition to deliver powerful bass and clear, industry-leading stereo sound quality. The first to offer interchangeable cases, Sirius P5 will have three unique, sci-fi inspired industrial designs available at launch: Defense Armor, Defense Mecha and Defense Crystal, with more styles on the way. 

Sirius P5 and its custom cases give a nod to nostalgic, classic sci-fi culture while also being inspired by modern industrial design. Made from either zinc alloy or Lego-like material prized for strength and rigidity, each interchangeable case protects Sirius P5 from drops and scratches, while also standing out for its unique, futuristic design. Users are able to purchase different cases and switch them up for style variation, without needing to purchase a new set of earbuds. Four RGB lights on the left side of Sirius P5 can be customized with changing colors for additional personalization. Each charging case holds four extra charges, combining with an eight hour battery life on the earbuds to deliver 40 hours of total playtime. 

 

“Our audio products take inspiration from sci-fi and cyberpunk characteristics, each one having a collectible element to it,” said Yong Huang, GravaStar founder and industrial designer. “Sirius P5 is unique in that we took inspiration from the iconic retro lighters that allow users to collect and change their cases while adding protection. We’ll continue to release new designs so people can have fun expressing their style while vibing to their music.” 

Built with the latest Qualcomm 3046 chip and featuring Bluetooth 5.2, Sirius P5 boasts a fast and stable connection. The 12mm drivers are able to cover a wide range of frequencies while delivering powerful, deep bass at a high volume using less power. Qualcomm aptX high definition delivers high resolution audio over Bluetooth with clear, industry-leading stereo sound and no interference.

Just as a mecha robot is controlled easily by the person who operates it in the sci-fi world, Sirius P5 combines futuristic design with easy to use features like smart touch controls to switch between calls and music, control volume, change tracks, pause / play, activate Siri, and more. Each earbud weighs only five grams and fits snugly inside the ear with Environment Noise Canceling to block out any external noise for a superior, stable audio experience in any situation. Sound is tailored to activity, with 48ms low latency for Gaming Mode to pinpoint movements and clear, natural vocals with concert acoustics in Music Mode. An IPX4 water-resistant rating makes Sirius P5 ideal for outdoor and athletic pursuits, while an included necklace can be attached to the earbuds to ensure they are never lost in any activity. 

Sirius P5 earbuds will be available in black or white, and come with one charging case. Different Sirius P5 sets are available at http://www.GravaStar.com. At time of launch three variations will be available with more being released quarterly. MSRP for the earbuds is $79.95 – $99.95.

How to spend your time online wisely

Sports betting is a risky experience, with the potential to lose money if you don’t know what you’re doing. However, with a little knowledge and some effective tips, it can be a fun and exciting way to enjoy your hobby.  To help you get started, we’ve put together a quick guide on how to bet reasonably.

The Basics of Reasonable Betting

  • Shop around: There are many reliable Irish online bookmakers, but not all sportsbooks offer the same bonuses, odds or selections of markets on sports events. By shopping around, you can find the best deals to place your bets and make them risk-free.
  • Stick to your budget: It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of betting and spend more money than you can afford to lose. Set a budget before you start, and stick to it no matter what.
  • Manage your bankroll: Your bankroll is the amount of money you have to bet with. Keep track of your wins and losses, and always withdraw your winnings so you don’t end up in the red.
  • Be disciplined: Sports betting can be addictive, so it’s important to stay disciplined and only bet what you can afford to lose. If you find yourself losing more often than winning, it’s time to take a break.

What Are the Five Secrets of Reasonable Betting?

The reality of the situation is that successful sports bettors are aware while most gamblers aren’t. It takes more than just being informed. Let’s be realists – since betting is an intellectual activity, it’s not easy to win. Better do it for your pleasure.  And knowing 5 secrets of reasonable betting will make it much more smooth and enjoyable!

Learn more about the sport you’re betting on

Do your homework: before you place a bet, make sure you know everything there is to know about the teams involved and the sport you are planning to bet on when betting on team sports. Read up on the latest news and statistics, and don’t just look at which team has performed best over the past decade. Consider whether they have enough quality players for that match. Pay attention to any changes in the team’s lineup or strategy as well. You should also research your sport and understand any modifications or rule changes implemented during this period so you can make an informed decision about where to place your bets. The more you know, the better your chances are.

Limit your options

The majority of people are unaware that when they make a large financial commitment with their picks, it’s more likely for them to be incorrect. It’s usually better if you only choose one pick from your list and wager small amounts.

Don’t be guided by your emotions

Betting is a careful balance of emotions. As a supporter, you’re pushed to wager primarily because of your faith in the team and what they have offered so far. If this doesn’t work out then it’ll disappoint you very much.

Consider new betting strategies

Different types of bets offer varying values and benefits so make sure to do your research before placing any wagers.

Look for value

If you want to know if your skill in identifying and exploiting value is better than just being lucky, follow the outcomes of all your wagers. You should see a profit over time. If not, then reassess your strategy and try something new.

Make use of bookmaker’s bonuses and promotions  

Bonuses and promotions provided by bookmakers are a good opportunity to try out new games or betting strategies, without risking your own money. Bookmakers usually offer a welcome bonus to new customers, which, as a rule, is credited as a Free bet, though a cash bonus is also possible.

Promotions and bonuses are also offered on an ongoing basis to existing customers, in order to keep them happy and encourage them to keep betting with the bookmaker. Free bets, money back specials and enhanced odds offers are just some of the deals that might be available.

It’s always worth checking out the promotions page on a bookmaker’s website before placing a bet, as you might be able to take advantage of a great offer and make your betting risk free.

By following the tips above, you’ll be well on your way to enjoying sports betting and hopefully making some profits along the way. Just remember to always gamble responsibly.

Methods of promoting a page on Instagram in 2022

Instagram is gaining more and more popularity every year. In 2022, it has almost 1.5 billion active users! A huge leap occurred in the period from 2019 to 2021, when the number of users increased by as much as 383 million! For a better understanding: experts predicted such an increase in active users already for 2024. In general, nobody doubts the crazy popularity of this platform. Instagram literally breaks all records. So this is a great chance to promote your own blog on this platform. In this article we will look at both free promotion methods (mutual likes, subscriptions, comments) and paid ones (such as targeting and the ability to buy Instagram followers) 

Where to start?

It is  recommended starting with simple free promotion methods. First, share a link to your new blog in your personal account and ask your mates, co-workers and relatives to subscribe to you. So you will have the first few dozen subscribers.

Then you can start mutual liking, commenting and subscribing. We recommend using these methods of promotion only at the earliest stages of the development of your blog. Unfortunately, they take a very long time, and their positive effect is much lower than that of paid promotion methods. In addition, if you are not developing your own small business or a small blog about life, but want to promote the account of an entire company, then it is better not to consider this method at all. And go straight to paid promotion methods.

What paid methods of promotion are there?

Many famous bloggers say that they used the opportunity to buy followers Instagram. Such subs will like, watch stories and publications, as well as be active in your profile in every possible way. Among other things, this method of promotion saves a huge amount of time that you can spend on topics and schedule of publication of posts, good quality photos of your blog and thinking through options for interactions with your audience. Such people work effectively with companies for a reward. Many advantages! Of course, in this case, the most important thing is to choose a reliable and proven company.

After that, it will be quite effective to use targeting. Just remember that your advertising should attract potential customers and subscribers. They should want not just to follow the advertising link, but also to stay in the profile, and in a perfect case scenario — to use your services. For this, as it might seem, not only advertising is important. We at techbuzz do not pay any form of money for followers etc it has to be noted. 

Of course, a high-quality bright professional photo, a clear font, attractive, honest and understandable offers will certainly hook people. But an equally crucial aspect is the correct understanding of your target audience. You should clearly understand who your potential client is — a man or a woman, a young or a more mature person, in which city they live and what they are interested in.

Tech Review – JBL Quantum TWS earbuds

With a myriad of earbuds out there today there is certainly good choice for those who want some more when they set out for new earbuds or upgrade and the options are getting better day by day and those who need more in certain instances JBL are providing such. As our readers know we have a multiple earbuds in from JBL and are testing them as we speak but our focus will be more detailed in the video as we have lots to get through and of course with a look at the app which has many new features and different set-ups as you would have seen in recent JBL reviews and more to come. Search here for the latest reviews from JBL and keep an eye out for more hands on reviews with context. See the unboxing here of the Quantum TWS the Tour One headphones and the Tune Flex earbuds. As mentioned before at their Dublin launch event they showcased their latest products and you can see that here.

The Quantum TWS are after throwing a bit of a spanner in the works for me anyway with how they sound and what they offer and for those who want more as mentioned these have an extra piece thrown into the party being a dongle which allows you to connect to external devices like your consoles and so on to have better latency which also works well from my testing. This can be used on your phone too but I feel there is no need for it been honest but this also worked on my TV with an adapter which makes them even better again for home use. You can buy third party dongles but I find these often do not pair up well with other products but this being a JBL standalone product of course it works perfectly well.

The case is a familiar shape with LED lights up front and sadly missing wireless charging this time around, not a huge deal for me but the case is pocketable and has a Glossy/Matt finish. The earbuds have stems which is fine by me and fit well and stay put. The controls are touch controls this time but work well with a large enough area covered by the JBL logo to get the job done accurately.

Of course we have the JBL app to avail of which again enhances the user experience giving you control, we have gone through this several times in our reviews but here is some idea of what to expect and see more in the video review.

When it comes to the sound I am not going to go through the usual terms used all you need to know but they are great with great bass and very punchy with 10mm drivers and with the EQ in the app you are in control for gaming movies and music these are better than expected and at the price point and with the gamer element thrown in both gamers and those who want audio have a complete package here and will no be disappointed at all. The ANC worked really well on these too and for me one of the better offerings out there at this price again.

In short if you are a gamer and like audio these should be on your list of earbuds and are affordable and with the Google extras on them makes it even more sweet. See the video for more below.
