One Minute Review

Like:

  • Stupid easy pairing with any Apple device such as iPhone, iPad, MacBooks, iMac, Apple Watch, yes the whole Apple Line thanks to the H1 Chip
  • Very impressed with the sound quality for music and phone calls – has nice clarity, bass and treble
  • 4.5 hours of listening time and 3.5 hours of talk time on a single charge. Battery case can charge the AirPods quickly to get you extra useage
  • Fits well in my ears thanks to the silicone tips – the OG AirPods kept falling off my ears. I can run and work out with these
  • Small, compact wireless charging case, unlike the PowerBeats Pro – these can easily fir in your pocket
  • Noise cancellation and transparency modes are welcome additions and they work pretty well
  • IPX4 rated water and sweat resistant

Don’t Like:

  • After 12-18 months, AirPods don’t hold their charge that well anymore
  • Apple’s battery replacement service is $49 an earbud… people will end up throwing these away contradicting Apple’s environmental values

Recommend?

  • YES if you are looking for a good overall pair of earbuds with noise cancellation features
  • YES if you are using this with your Apple devices
  • NO if you want Bose / Sony headphone quality noise cancellation

What’s On My Desk Summer 2019

Posted on July 10, 2019 by Louie Tran Posted in Daily News, Gadgets, Geek Life, Workspaces Leave a comment

Been awhile since I’ve done one of these. I normally have a MacBook Pro 13 2018 on my desk but I just recently got back into PC gaming and also sold my Xbox One X a few days ago. I’m still keeping the Sony PS4 Pro and Nintendo Switch for exclusives though. So here’s what’s on my desk!

  • MSI GS65 9SE – currently my main rig for work and gaming.  This thing is an absolute beast and can handle all the new games you throw at it. My Macbook Pro 13 inch is now assigned to being a travel laptop and Final Cut Pro machine.
  • HP Envy 32 – 32 inch display 2560×1440 resolution. I think I’ve had this for about 5 years
  • Sony SRSHG1 HearGo Bluetooth Speaker – Small but mighty. It can connect USB, bluetooth 3.5, Wifi, Google Cast… you name it. This thing is amazing and sounds great
  • SteelSeries Apex 7 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard – This is the best keyboard I have ever typed on. No joke. I don’t even care about the gimmicky lights!
  • Logitech MX Master 2S Wireless Mouse – I finally upgrade from an old Logitech M510 and the difference is night and day. Love how comfortable it feels to use and the horizontal scroll wheel is a game changer for working on spreadhseets. I have this at my desk and an MX Anywhere 2s in my laptop bag
  • Xbox One Controller (White) – for gaming. I sometimes use the PS4 controller for PSP emulated games
  • Sony RX100 Mark V Digital Camera – I just recently upgraded from the Sony RX100 III earlier this year and I’ve taken that across six continents. I am planning on taking this camera to 7 in a year or two. This camera is amazing to carry around on trips especially when you want to take better quality photos than your smartphone.
  • iPhone XS Max 256GB Space Gray – Trusty iPhone that goes everywhere with me. It’s a smartphone that does it’s job and does it reliably. Running the developer version of iOS13 and it paired with my Apple Watch Series 4 smartwatch

Heloideo Battery Power Bank for iPhone and USB C Android Phones with Built in Lightning Review

Posted on December 19, 2017 by Louie Tran Posted in Daily News, Reviews Leave a comment

My review of the Heloideo Power Bank for the iPhone and USB-C devices. This has the lightning cable and USB-C connections built right in which is cool. Only concern is that I don’t see this labeled as MFI certified (made for iPhone) so that might cause some concerns. This however charged my iPhone X without problems, as well as my Samsung Galaxy S8+ I apologize for the crappy quality of the video. I was sick and I don’t have all my camera equipment unpacked from moving!

Apple Watch Series 3 Unboxing and First Impressions Review

Posted on September 25, 2017 by Louie Tran Posted in Daily News, Gadgets, Reviews 2 Comments

My first impressions unboxing review of the Apple Watch Series 3. I’ve only used it for a few days so I haven’t fully utilized it yet. Be on the look out for a full review in the future. So far, I think it is a good upgrade from the Series 0 and the performance improvements have been significant. I ran into a few LTE issues in the beginning but they have been resolved.
