viaim RecDot AI Recording True Wireless Earbuds Review

The viaim RecDot AI Recording True Wireless Earbuds are a welcome addition to the earbuds available out there today which not only offer great audio for listening to but they also record with a splash of AI thrown in, Yes I said AI it is everywhere and kinda annoying at this stage even for me however it does have good uses too in general.

The viaim RecDot come with several features you do not see too often with call recording real-time transalation FlashRecord, and deep noise cancelling they have fouor mics and also a dual connection so out of the box they have more than the basics on offer with a really cool app to go with them.

With the basics you expect to find the audio is excellent here with great dual connectivity that is important to me and of course ANC which works really well up to 48dB which is a standard with most earbuds.

As with most earbuds you should complete the fit test for the best results this is now common these days even with cheaper earbuds out there and become a standard similar to an audio/hearing test.

Ok so down to the sound first, these sound great given it is not their target USP here highs lows and mids great, great volume no tinny sound maxed out or any distortion, they have a suite of EQ settings you can customise them to your need and also the settings which for some might need a learning curve with more than one way to interact with them unlike others as you can pinch , pinch and hold and slide which is great offering more commands than standard touch or button based earbuds some of which are often limited here or even fixed and cant be modified.

All these work well after get use to them though in fairness I have tried other earbuds with similar gestures some working better than others however these again give more giving you more flexibility.

The main USP of these earbuds is what they can do outside letting you listen to music etc they offer an new way to interact with them and the case, there is a red dot on the case that you can use to start recording on the fly which is quite handy, you can do so on the earbuds too however they must be in your ears this does not work if they are out on your desk for example and this works well.

The ability to do more with these is what I like and with on board storage call recording being one and yeah there is legal talk of that it is there you can translate, audio and video record live record and also live translation record which is fantastic for those say in the media, journalist scence and those in tech who travel to different countries like myself, this works well not always 100% accurate however it also breaks things down with their AI and this is very accurate and useful for time saving and less editing work and also gives you a mind map which is super cool. You can effectively go paperless here overall.

Overall for me this is the next thing in earbuds and maybe headphones considering they got the audio right and the AI which is annoying now in almost all tech I review but not this time around, I love it and it is a realtime use case scenario that works well.

Check the video review below for more, these earbuds are the way forward and something that you need to check out

OSRAM ROADsight Wireless Reversing Camera OWRCS4 Review

The OSRAM ROADsight Wireless Reversing Camera System OWRCS4 is a simple to use camera with a decent sized screen for your vehicle with a simple install process.

You have two wires to deal with one being a live that attaches to your reverse light and an earth but be sure to get your local mechanic to install for you if you are not able to do so yourself.

The main screen just plugs into your existing cigarette lighter port and will automatically connect to the rear camera once powered on is that simple.

This works on 12 and 24v vehicles and has a large 4.3 inch display with good clairty and easy viewing, there is three buttons on the rear of the screen one being the main menu key and two to cycle through the on screen menu which has brightness reverse image and set up,  however it may be possible to hardwire more to it by the looks of it but we are just revewing this on its reverse camera feature.

The main screen can be placed anyhwere in your vehicle and comes with a window suction cup and a dashboard mountm, the rear camera requires more work and has to be fitted but does come with a double sided pad if you want to mount inside your car for example it is IP67 rated so the choice is your we fitted ours over the reg plate beside existing light ports on the boot.

Overall the reverse camera works well and evn in the dark which is good giving you a clear picture of what is behind you keeping you and your vehicle safe from any knocks or bumps the rear camera can also be adjusred to your requirement.

From my usage the time the camera stays on for a short time or went off then came back on and was a hit and miss it may be car related issue however it does offer a great view of what is behind you

 

 

Features

  • Monitor up to two cameras (additional camera sold separately) with compact screen
  • Designed for easy installation, even on long vehicles and trailers, thanks to the 100 m range provided by the wireless cameras

TRIBIT Stormbox Mini+ wireless speaker review

The TRIBIT StormBox Mini+ is a compact, punchy, and surprisingly affordable addition to Tribit’s portable lineup and comes with RGB lights with many will appreciate.

The TRIBIT StormBox Mini+ has a cylindrical shape wrapped in a soft-touch woven fabric and feels nice in the hand is also comes with a built in lanyard loop to attach it to whatever you like perhaps in the shower or elsewhere when out and about.

It has rubber feet so it will remain sat on a flat surface depending on the volume you use and EQ setting as it can move due to vibration as it does pack a serious punch for its size.

The controls are tactile and large, friendly “+” and “–” buttons on the front for volume, with a multi-function play/pause button in between. You can activate your voice assistant manage calls skip and reverse tracks and change the volume these features are also available in the TRIBIT app which we demo in the video review down below.

It is IPX7 rated, meaning it can survive being submerged in water (1m for 30 mins). It’s a “pool-proof” speaker and outdoor in general or again beside the pool or if at the beach you will be fine here.

On top there is your LED lights which comes in two modes can be controlled on the app or the device itself, these will get the mood going while it throws out the tunes in the app where you can pick from several EQs or create your own.

It uses dual 48mm drivers and a passive radiator to deliver 12W of power and is loud with a 360 degree sound effect which will fill any room easily if you want to tune things up some more you can add more if you wish.

Overall this speaker is great it has all the bells and whistles it is robust waterproof and packs a punch for the price ansd with the LED effects and 9 band EQs you are in control of any party and I would suggest two just to turn things up a notch.
