These earbuds are designed for serious athletes and outdoor enthusiasts who require durable, high-quality, and noise-cancelling earbuds that can withstand various conditions and environments.

The kit comes in the standard Jabra-type case (IP54). The earphones’ external feel is of Liquid silicone rubber, and the feel and design may not appeal to everyone as plain in the tones and feel as compared to other Jabra earphones. They come in a variety of colors including Black, Navy-Caramel, and Dark Grey.

The setup is standard in terms of connecting to the Bluetooth device as normal. The Multimode technology allows the earbuds to connect with multiple devices at the same time (up to 10 can be connected).

  1. Charge the earbuds and the charging case using the included USB-C cable.
  2. Download the Jabra Sound+ app on your smartphone from the App Store or Google Play Store.

Conclusion:

The Manufacturers quote the Jabra Elite Active 8 as the world’s toughest earbuds, which is done without adding bulk to the earphones or reducing the audio quality or deterioration in the battery life, keeping a remarkable 8 hours or 32 hours with the case. The adaptive hybrid active noise cancellation was excellent in reducing noise in the background but was noticeable on calls, colleagues in the background voice could be heard on the other end of the calls. The bass may not be as good as other Jabra products, but There was a fair balance between, mids, and highs, with impressive adaptive noise cancellation and Dolby Spatial audio features.

The ability to connect multiple phones. laptops via the multimode technology is a must for me having a variety of products connected and any one time. The ability to use only one earbud as required is a handy feature when multitasking. The Jabra Elite Active 8 design looked similar to many other Jabra products but the Secure in-ear fit worked very well and did not fall out even during challenging situations making them ideal for exercise and outdoor activities due to its durable build and strong ANC. The software via the Jabra Sound+ app has worked seamlessly and connected to phones as would be expected from Jabra. Another great product from Jabra with a bonus of durability with great battery life.

Tech Review – Jabra Elite 10

The Jabra Elite 10 have been the latest earbuds to sit in my ears for some time now and is the latest and greatest from their company alongside their Elite Active 8 which are again one of their latest additions to their line up of products. The packaging is again familiar keeping in line with the portfolio keeping them distinguished from other in the market and a brand easy to recognize in store.

The presentation again is excellent and that can be seen in the unboxing video with the Elite Active 8 which has been recently reviewed here. The case design has slightly changed on this and appears taller and thinner and the earbud design itself is again familiar with nice clicky controls giving a satisfying click and getting the job done first time rather than missing inputs which can happen on some earbuds.

The earbuds fit well with the newly shaped tips and give decent passive noise isolation out of the box and has a rubberized coating on the housing, they still fit well and will not fall out of the ears even when training and offers an IP57 rating but it is the sound that most people want to know about which we will discuss later and in the video review below. The Jabra Advanced ANCTM which blocks out 2x more noise than Jabra’s standard ANC and from my testing is accurate so again making these ideal for calls on the go and of course enjoying your music to the fullest and calls also came out well on both ends when testing and even in the wind which we had plenty of lately.

 

Battery life is decent to and on par with their claims on a standard users viewpoint, a heavy user like me however turns things up the max with volume and EQ settings so I get a bit less which is the norm here but overall decent battery life and again wireless charging is present here which I am glad was not dropped. In real testing about 26 hours in total was seen with my settings and another great feature is multipoint pairing with bluetooth 5.3 which for me is a vital feature with any pair of earbuds, I can live without it but is a feature I require.

The app once again is packed with features and also ensure you do the full set-up in the app to get the best out of the earbuds, this is the case for many earbuds today and I recommend not to skip as many folks do and is a question I often get from people buying earbuds on my word saying they are not enjoying them and this is the reason why, if the feature is there it is there to be used so use it.

Jabra Elite 10 earbuds – techbuzzireland

The controls work a treat as mentioned above and the sound is again top notch as expected and this time around we have head tracking on board which is a feature we are now seeing more of and is excellent, you might ask what head tracking is and it is simply keeping the audio balanced as you would hear in real life in your ears when your head is tuned in a different direction keeping it simple, you may of heard of the term “spatial audio”. So for example if you turn your head to the right the audio sounds more in the left side. It’s cool if you have not tried it yet. With the Jabra Elite 10 you have Dolby Atmos with the head tracking keeping things immersive.

So when it comes to sound you know what the answer is here, it once again is great with highs lows and mids all balanced well, good volume great bass and more but you have the Sound+ app to help you along and customise things to your requirements and you can see below the screenshots taken from the app as well as a tour of the app in the video review.

With any Jabra earbuds you will be onto a winner with sound and these are not different however I did find them a little brighter overall than previous models but this is fine as they can be fine tuned, everyone’s ears are different and thoughts are subjective but from someone who tests the biggest range of earbuds in Ireland if you are in the market for a new pair of earbuds these are certainly an easy recommend from me if you want to shell out the euros, as cost is a thing for many these days.

You get what you pay for in today’s world for the most things in life and I believe many invest in their earbuds these days due to travel and work use and with the Jabra Elite 10 you have it all and are an investment if they are the right fit for your needs which the Elite 10 kinda cover all peoples needs with their latest installment. Many still compare today Apple Airpods Pro as a benchmark and I have tested them with a loan from a friend but still to this day do not own a pair of them because simply they are hyped up and do not live up to my expectations and there is better out there for less money and if you are a long time user of Jabra earbuds you know who wins here.

 

The Jabra Sound+ App 

 

Key features of the Elite 10: 

  • Optimised for Dolby Atmos with Dolby Head Tracking, which enables a more immersive Dolby Atmos experience 
  • Jabra ComfortFit technology for a natural airy fit and less occlusion with semi-open design to relieve ear pressure 
  • 6-mic call technology with advanced algorithms for better call clarity in any environment 
  • Jabra Advanced ANCTM which blocks out 2x more noise than Jabra’s standard ANC 
  • HearThrough technology with wind noise reduction

Tech Review – emporia SMART.6 user-friendly 5G smartphone

The emporia SMART.6 user-friendly 5G smartphone has been a daily driver for a bit now and compared to current smartphones this is a breeze to use without all the cumbersome sub menus you get today which can make it difficult for some especially those coming from dumb phones and feature phones which are a thing again for people detoxing from social media and more.

The emporia SMART.6 though does not look cheap nor feel cheap and it is their best built phone to date with a good weight to it too and at first glance when showing friends etc they asked what in the name of god is this one. So of course I explained what this phone is about and who it is for and let them play around with it and they could see the simplicity in using it without all the fuss and how easy it is to navigate through which was refreshing for them.

They liked the cover display and the 4 key button set up that lights up and I do too which is simply 4 shortcuts to access simple things like calls and camera and torch, you still have your big panel up top displaying other information in big clear numbers and letter just like you will find in the menus on the phone UI.

The camera array on the back is nicely set out too and not a cumbersome block you find on many of today’s phones and you have a heart labelled button there if you press and hold you can instantly call the emergency services which I accidently pressed on testing but can clarify it works.

You also have face unlock and fingerprint sensor on board here and these worked quite well however in darker environments the face unlock is less reliable but this can be the same on many traditional smartphones.

We have a decent camera and video performance too which for the target market of this device they will be happy with you can see the samples in the video review below, I did have to review this device with and older person in mind but did test other apps such as social media and emails as I tend to find now the older population using smart phones but would not use their full capabilities and would have some knowledge of how they work.

Technically, the emporia E6 plays in the same league as the Samsung A series or Apple refurbished. Latest 5G technology, top camera and Camera Pro, NFC, fingerprint sensor, voice input. The emporia E6 is a product that was created in collaboration directly with the target group. In countries such as the Federal Republic of Germany, Great Britain, Italy and France there were workshops in which the participants defined their demands and wishes for the smartphone of the future. The result: “A smartphone as it should be”.

Overall a solid phone that does more than one might think, and a huge upgrade to the emporia smart 4 having tested in two capacities it has worked well with no issues even doing some video editing on the device itself and for my social media it did not hang up shut down or anything like other smartphones have done especially with video editing apps on board, call quality is fine too and overall a simple phone to use without all the convoluted mess you find today on smartphones.

 

Features

  • Popular 5G smartphone, 6.58 inch touch display
  • Contemporary, Android 13
  • Beautiful photos, triple main camera 50+2+TOF megapixels
  • Selfie camera 8 megapixels
  • On and off button with fingerprint sensor
  • Smart cover with 4 buttons

Tech Review – GeoSmartPro Smart Air Fryer

The GeoSmartPro Smart Air Fryer is the latest gadget to hit techbuzz and yes I am no cooking expert and can hardly fry an egg but I am aware of these Air Fryers and have one some years and use it quite often or should I say let someone else do the work for me but now that this has arrived I have taken a keen interest to get to do it all on my own because it has an app and makes life simple for me anyway.

So the product itself seems robust in comparison to my current relic in the house and has a bigger capacity you can see through it which the current one you cant, you can set timers and so on but need to keep checking to be safe so with this one out of the bat it is good to watch the food cook and you also have a shake reminder for the likes of chips and sausages etc.

You have plenty of presets at hand and can add your own which is handy so half the job is done for you and there is recipes available in the app which again makes life easy, you have two tray positions which my current one does not have which is another win and will tell you how old mine is and a fry basket handle.

With the 8 Presets you get Chicken Leg, Steak, Fish, Cake, Pizza, Sausage, Chips and Bacon so for me it covers my main staples of food. You can add other varieties of food such as frozen fries wedges chops hamburgers spring rolls, fish fingers, I love them, muffins and sweet snacks. You get instructions of weight and time and if you need to shake or not, you are basically a cook in a few mins..

The basket and tray are dishwasher proof and you should clean after each use which is something done on the old one anyway so it is also easy to maintain.

The App 

The App is simple to set up more so on Android than iOS in my finding as we always test apps on both versions where applicable and on my iPhone was a bit annoying but got there in the end. The control panel on the app is simple to read and well laid out which is perfect and the control panel on the Fryer itself is simple to use but you will find you will lean towards to the app rather than the panel but you can use the control panel if you wish to do so, but the app is there and that is what it is for

Control panel on the GeoSmartPro Air Fryer
  • Power off/on
  • Select preset functions (including drumsticks, steak, cake, fish and more.) ● Custom set temperature and time
  • Turn off/on light
  • Use voice assistant with Google Home
  • Set timer
  • Notifications to shake food
  • Recipes

Overall this has been a bit of a game changer here for me with getting my food done for me in better ways and having an app made it easy with all the details given for me, like I said I am no food expert but after having my old Air Fryer that was never smart to having one that is makes life easy, I can cook my own meals, see it cooking and get reminded of things should I get from the comfort of my couch or office desk which in short is a win.

Features

  • App Control for Ultimate Convenience: Take command of your air fryer using the GeoSmartPro App, effortlessly customize cooking settings based on your favorite recipes, all at your fingertips.
  • 8 Pre-set Cooking Programs for Effortless Meals: Enjoy easy cooking with 8 pre-programmed settings, perfect for drumsticks, steak, pizza, cake baking, and more. You can also set your preferred temperature ranging from 80-200°C. Unleash the inner chef in you!
  • Generous 8L Capacity: Prepare larger meals with ease thanks to the spacious 8L capacity, perfect for batch cooking.
  • Bonus: 50+ Free Recipes Included: Jumpstart your culinary journey with up to 50 pre-programmed recipes available on the GeoSmartPro app. We continuously update with fresh, healthier cooking ideas.
  • Sleek Ergonomic Design: Our air fryer’s ergonomic design seamlessly fits into your kitchen, creating more workspace for a superior cooking experience.

The nubia Z60 Ultra: A new era in mobile photography with comprehensive versatility and enhanced image processing

nubia, the leading global smartphone manufacturer and a pioneer in innovative smartphone technology, today launched its new-generation under-display camera smartphone, the nubia Z60 Ultra. This latest model comes equipped with the NeoVision photography system, featuring high-definition optics with three main cameras, setting a new standard in mobile photography. The innovative UDC Full Screen, supported by a fifth-generation flexible under-display camera technology, offers an unstoppable view, boasting a more vibrant display and more natural-looking selfies. Ni Fei, Chairman of nubia Technology Co., Ltd., stated, “Innovation in smartphones that leads to transformative experiences primarily revolves around two elements: the screen and photography. We have dedicated ourselves to five generations of under-display technology, striving to deliver the most pristine and ultimate full-screen experience.”

Engineered for the adventurer, the device is fortified with IP68-rated dust and water resistance, ensuring it stands as a beacon of durability. Additionally, the phone is powered by the groundbreaking Snapdragon 8 Gen3 chipset, a robust 6000mAh silicon carbon negative electrode super battery with the sleek and efficient MyOS 14 operating system, making it a comprehensive and versatile choice for enhanced image processing. 

High-Definition Triple Cameras with Advanced OIS Optical Image Stabilization


Optical system forms the foundation of photography. nubia’s commitment to mobile photography is exemplified by its bold challenges to industry norms and the advancement into the realm of high-end optics. The nubia Z60 Ultra is equipped with the innovative NeoVision photography system, featuring three main cameras — 18mm Ultra Wide Starry Sky, 35mm precision master, and 85mm telephoto explorer camera with high-definition optics. This sets a new benchmark in mobile photography, offering comprehensive advancements across all focal lengths and catering to consumers’ needs in various scenarios.

The new 50-megapixel 18mm ultra-wide-angle starry sky main camera employs a 1/1.55-inch outsole sensor, a 7P aspherical lens, and an f/1.8 large aperture. This combination breaks away from the traditional “wide-angle theory of uselessness,” achieving an industry-leading ultra-low distortion wide-angle main camera. The 50-megapixel 35mm camera features a high-definition optical combination with a 1G+6P lens and f/1.59 large aperture, enhancing light intake, pixel density and photo clarity. 35mm lenses continue to be the ultimate focal length for detailed photography, whilst the 64-megapixel 85mm periscope telephoto portrait lens with a 1/2-inch sensor significantly improves portrait photography.
The focal length layout of the nubia Z60 Ultra is meticulously balanced, and its stabilization system ranks among the best in the industry. It supports triple OIS full optical image stabilization, ensuring steadfast stability in all shooting scenarios whilst further enhancing capture efficiency. Additionally, the main camera is equipped with a blue glass spin-coated IR filter as standard, effectively reducing glare and synergizing with laser focus to easily lock in extraordinary moments.

Computational Photography: Enhancing Starry Sky, Humanistic Photography, and Portraits

Building on its superior optics, nubia NeoVision also advances computational photography capabilities. The Galaxy Night Scene algorithm, a first for nubia, optimizes and adjusts effects on ultra-wide angles. It works in tandem with the sky and earth separation calculation broadening and brightening the captured starry sky. The unique starry sky portrait algorithm allows for clear portraits against the backdrop of the Milky Way. The starry sky coloring function effectively minimizes light pollution and color cast, enhancing the transparency of the starry sky and the Milky Way. Additional features like Star hunting and starry sky time-lapse photography offer users a richer experience in astrophotography.

All three main cameras support lightning capture. In portrait mode users can choose from 50mm classic, 35mm environmental, and 85mm portrait options, capturing the essence of portrait photography at its golden focal lengths. The nubia Z60 Ultra also features a 65:24 ultra-wide movie format and supports 4K 120 frame video, video pre-recording, super night scene video, and super stabilization functions, ensuring high-definition and stable video in all scenarios.

Fifth-Generation Flexible Under-Display Camera Technology: A Comprehensive Upgrade

As a leader in under-display camera technology, the nubia Z60 Ultra showcases the latest generation of flexible UDC full-screen. This includes a screen density of up to 400PPI in the under-display camera area, a full-screen blue diamond arrangement, and support for independent pixel drivers, achieving a clearer and more refined display. The UDC Ultra independent screen display chipset enhances natural color transitions, while the new BOE Q9+ luminescent material significantly improves color display stability. The industry’s largest front-facing single-pixel photosensitive area of 2.8μm, coupled with a front-facing transparent algorithm, further improves the brightness and clarity of front-facing photography and video calls.

Beyond its full-screen capabilities, the overall screen quality of the nubia Z60 Ultra is exceptional. It boasts a 6.8-inch AMOLED large screen with 2480×1116 high resolution, a 2.5D flexible straight screen, and an anti-accidental touch design. The screen covers 100% of the DCI-P3 wide color gamut, supports a 1.07 billion color display, and achieves a local peak brightness of up to 1500nit. Additionally, it supports a 2160Hz ultra-high frequency PWM dimming function and has received SGS low blue light certification, safeguarding eye health.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and 6000mAh Large Battery: Setting a New Performance Benchmark

In terms of performance, the nubia Z60 Ultra is powered by the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 8 Gen 3 flagship chipset, significantly enhancing CPU and GPU performance and energy efficiency. The combination of UFS4.0 and memory ensures fast operation, quick application startup, and rapid game loading. The device also features a 6000mAh silicon carbon negative electrode ultra-large capacity battery and is IP68-rated dust and water resistance, providing a comprehensive performance experience for all scenarios.

The X-axis linear motor provides strong vibration, varied vibration effects, and lower noise, making it suitable for various games and UI interactions. AI frame sensing technology intelligently adjusts frequency and core based on gaming scenes and actions, improving energy efficiency and reducing minor lags. An upgraded battery charging system allows for customized power levels, supporting a power supply mode without charging, maintaining a comfortable temperature and ensuring stable performance.

Isomorphism Universe Design: A Distinctive Flagship Masterpiece

The striking module design on the back of the nubia Z60 Ultra highlights its unique and powerful photography capabilities. Inspired by the isomorphic universe, the design extends the imaging module area to the edge of the phone, offering an expansive and impactful visual experience. This design not only showcases the beauty and depth of the universe but also ensures that the arrangement of the three main cameras avoids internal magnetic interference caused by the OIS and AF systems of the lenses, maintaining optimal photography performance.

The back of the device uses AG flash-sand glass with millions of micron-level crystal structures, giving the phone a flowing silver metallic texture and a cyberpunk futuristic aesthetic. The sides are adorned with an aerospace-grade metal middle frame and support ergonomic customizable sliding keys with five functions: photo taking, mute, recording, flashlight, and game space, all easily customizable and activated with a single toggle.

The nubia Z60 Ultra is available in two color options: Black and Silver. nubia also continues to offer the classic Starry Sky Collection Edition, available exclusively in China for now. Inspired by Van Gogh’s “Starry Night”, the design incorporates the emotional expression and classic colors of the painting, using a starry sky micro-etching process on the glass, and combining it with rich technological overlays to present an eyewear-free 3D star effect. The diamond relief effect perfectly integrates technology with art.

Tech Review – CANYON Car Video Recorder DVR10GPS – Dashcam

The CANYON DVR10GPS  is one of many dashcams on offer from the company and the first time for us to test one out, We test many dashcams here and I always say every car should have them fitted as standard but to date it is not the case and leaves plenty of room in the market for you to go pick what suits your pockets and needs.

Setting up takes about ten minutes in total with getting the app downloaded then installing into your vehicle and if you are familiar with dashcams it will be no trouble, the UI on the app is simple to navigate using the keys on the device itself and you will be ready in no time regardless.

Equipped with a powerful Sony Starvis 307 sensor, it captures impeccable footage even in low light. The expansive 140° field of view ensures comprehensive coverage, leaving no detail unseen. Enjoy effortless installation with the magnetic holder – a secure and convenient mount. Powered by a dependable supercapacitor, this device guarantees stable operation even in extreme temperatures and being recently below freezing here it worked with no issues.

There is also an app and of course WiFi to connect to the device with when you are on the go and allowing you to draw down footage when required and this can also be locked on the device so you do not overwrite it which is important. The controls on the unit itself are simple to use as in on the app so you can set up with either. The database is updated weekly too for speed cameras and so on.

 

 

The built-in GPS module allows you to track the speed and location of your vehicle. Forget about speeding fines – the speed cam function will always let you know about the speed control camera ahead. This recently worked well for me testing another dashcam in the UK not knowing all the roads to well so pay attention to warnings although we differ here with how they operate over there towards here in Ireland. I had no notifications as the previous dashcam which was like a community set-up despite deriving many miles with work.

Overall this is a nice product and simple to use which is important some dashcams can be a bit cumbersome and have a hard to navigate UI whereas this one is simple to use and get around and keep you and your vehicle protected, check out the video review below for more and what you will find in the app and what is on the dashcam itself and all the features.

Tech Review – Edifier Neobuds Pro 2

Well as you know we have been testing out the latest and greatest from Edifier and it is the NeoBuds Pro 2, having testing their previous pair i was expecting some new things here and we certainly got them and they are a pair of earbuds like last years worthy of having the Pro moniker on the name and users who have the last pair and jump up to this pair will be in for a treat again.

Design and build is quite similar to before with a solid case with the really nice LED light on the front but this time you can change the colour which is really cool it looked cool the last time but now even more, the case itself has a nice finish looks much better in the new colour we have and also has a USB- C port on the rear, it will fit in any pocket also which is handy and as expected.

The earbuds have some subtle changes but still look great and are a comfortable fit for me but with the eartip selection they will fit anyone and once fitted they offer an excellent seal giving good passive noise cancelling out of the box but its when you deep dive into the app is where everything changes and it gets even better than before.

When it comes to sound you are again onto a winner here but it is the array of other features on board here that makes them stand out like last years model which alone was one of the top earbuds for the money. We go through all of the features in the video review so you can get a clear guide of what to expect it is remarkable.

Highs lows and mids all great decently loud great volume and ANC Edifier has made an already great product even better which by no means is an easy thing to do with the earbud market very saturated and competitive with features there was nothing left out here unlike others that even cost more than what these do.

Edifier NeoBuds Pro Vs NeoBuds Pro 2 – techbuzzireland

On my usual test loop there was no issues at all no connection drop no lag latency not tinny sound even when using the highest volume or on any genre they just got it right again and it is a win all round for whoever picks them up and the other question i have been asked was are the NeoBuds Pro worth upgrading to these well in short the answer is a simple yes.

Check out the video review below for more and if you need some new earbuds this year and on the fence trust me these are certainly a pair easy to recommend to anyone.
