Ausdom S02 Bluetooth Sports Headphones Review and Demo













Ausdom S02 Bluetooth Sports Headphones Review and Demo

This Ausdom Bluetooth headset is pretty nice. They are well
made, and fit your head very comfortably. What I like is that the
plastic/rubber band that runs behind your head holds the earbuds in your ears
nicely.

PRODUCT LINK:

PRICE: $29.99

These headphones run on Bluetooth 3.0, and not the newer 4.1
standard. You do not really notice any difference in regards to the audio
quality. The quality of the audio is very good. Call quality was nice too. The
package includes extra/different sized rubber ear pieces, and a Micro USB cable
to charge them up. You can expect to get about 7 hours of play time. The
Bluetooth range is about 30 feet from your device.

Pairing your device with these headsets is relatively
painless. They paired in just a few seconds with no problem.

PROS:
- Fold up small, small footprint
- Light weight... less than an ounce!
- Great sound
- Great ear fit, stays on the head when jogging.
- Voice prompts

CONS:
- There is no real "tactile" feel to the buttons
when you press them. No "click".
- The control buttons are really small. Hard to find with my
big fingers.

Ausdom sent me these headphones for free in exchange for a
unbiased review.

URPOWER® Selfie Stick / Monopod Review







This URPOWER monopod / selfie stick was a bit of a
disappointment! I could not get the piece that holds your phone to screw
securely to the extendable stick.


PRICE: $9.99

The price for this Urpower Selfie Stick is great. Especially
since it includes the Bluetooth shutter release as a standalone device. The
clamp attachment that holds your phone does a great job. It held my Samsung
Galaxy Note 4 with no issues. Very secure.

But as you will see in the video above, when I attempted to
screw the clamp device to the mount screw... I could not screw it down all the
way with my fingers. I ended up using a pliers later in the day to tighten the
screw. And it seemed OK. But you should not need to do this.

The Bluetooth shutter release is a good little stand alone
gadget that worked well. It is not built into the handle, so you can use this
anywhere.

Retevis RT628 Kids Walkie Talkies Review





Retevis Walkie Talkies make me want to be a kid again, and
play special agent guy! :)


PRICE: $24.99

These entry level walkie talkies from Revetis are the real deal.
They are compact, inexpensive, and feature packed. They each use 3 AA Batteries
that are not included in the package. The LCD display has a nice blue
backlight. There are 22 selectable channels. Just make sure both radios are on
the same channel, and they will work. You can also add additional radios...just
turn them all to the same channel.

At $12.50 per radio ($25 for two) these are a solid deal.
They are well made, and do the job they are supposed to do. In my testing the
sound quality was very good from about a 1/2 mile away. They should work at a
greater distance, but I only tested them on a dog walking run. They each have a
removable belt clip. You can also use an external microphone with these radios.

Sentey® Flow Music Headphone Review And Hands-On







The Sentey Flow Headphones are a really nice entry level
headset that delivers great sound at an affordable price.

PRODUCT LINK:

PRICE: $12.99

First off... these headphones look much more expensive than
$13 bucks! These headphones come in a really, really nice package, that
presents a much more high end product. The headphones are made very will with a
lot of flexibility in the headpiece. It has a high gloss finish that really
does not reflect fingerprints when used.

The ear cups are a good quality, and fit comfortably on top
of the ears, and provide for a decent level of noise isolation. All these leads
to a very nice sound from these wired headphones. The "wired" part of
this package includes gold plated 3.5mm audio plugs, with a control with one
button for play/pause and to answer incoming calls. This piece also includes a
built in microphone.

The headset folds up nicely and is convenient to toss into a
backpack.

One "con" I have to make note of is that the end
of the cable that plugs into your phone is not very thin, and if you have a
case on your device, it might not fit properly. Of course your mileage may
vary, but it is something I encountered with my device. Additionally, it would
have been nice to have included a carrying pouch, but at this price point I can
look past that.



All in all... if you wear these no one will ever guess you
only paid $13 bucks!

Dual Compact USB Travel Charger Review and Hands-On





Satechi thinks of everything! This two outlet, two USB travel
charger is a huge lifesaver when travelling!
                        

This travel charger is so perfect to toss into a carry-on,
backpack, or luggage that takes up next to no space. The two USB ports are both
2.4amps which is perfect for all smart phones... Particularly the newer Samsung
phones... S6 AND Note 4 that takes advantage of the higher output by charging
your phone in 50% of the time.

Of course you don't need to worry if you forget your phones
charger because you can just use in your USB cable, and use your computers AC
adapter. Easy peesey! One added bonus you can remove the prongs to help store
it in your luggage easier.

This device does what is designed to do very well. There are
no extra bells and whistles.

Specifications:
Rating: 10A, 125 VAC, 60Hz, 1250W
Input Voltage: 100V ~ 240V
USB: 5V / 2.4A
Dimensions: 3.8" x 2.6" x 1.25"
Weight: 4oz

Sentey Brio 2800mAh External Battery Charger Review







This Sentey Brio 2800mAh battery is small in size, and
perfect for someone needing to take along some extra po
wer.


PRICE: $9.99

This is a good device to slap in a pocket or purse when you
are on the go and need to keep your phone running. 2800mAh will recharge a
iPhone 6 about twice. And a Galaxy S6 about 75%. This should get about an extra
days use without plugging in to a wall charger.

This Sentey Brio charger has one USB output at 1 amp. You
should be aware that most newer flagship phone can handle much larger amperage
than 1 amp. So this charger will slowly recharge you fancy Galaxy Note 4 or S6.
This is something I wouldn't use because of that. This is good for an older
phone, or other device like a Bluetooth headset.

The packaging is nice, and in the box is the charger and a
MicroUSB cable. If you are hoping to charge an Apple device you will need to
supply your own cable.  There is a really
small LED to indicate when it is charging or discharging.

URPOWER MiFi Certified Apple Lightning Cable Review and Hands-On







Urpower has consistently provided great products, and this
cable is no exception. If you are a gadget nut like me, you can NVER have
enough spare cables!


PRICE: $9.99

At 3.3 Feet (1 Meter), this cable is the perfect size for
almost any activity. Charging your phone at work, or in your bed, this should
have your covered. I review quite a few external batteries, and none of then
come supplied with Lightning cables! I think many companies do not want to pay
Apple for the MiFi certification. So I always need these spares.

The cable itself is very well made. The plug ends are
reinforced to withstand a ton of use, and should help deter the cable from
flailing. The manufacturer claims it should withstand over 5000+ bends. I wish
I could say the same for the crappy cables Apple pack with their devices, as
these always go bad.

This cable is MiFi Certified from Apple, so it has the
correct chip inside, so you will not get those pesky warnings popping up on
your phone like you will with a cheaper uncertified cable.

I have no cons to speak of. This is a great, affordable
cable.

Inateck 13.3 Inch Bohemian Style Macbook Sleeve Review









This sleeve is designed for 
a 13 inch Macbook. But you can easily use it for a iPad, or a 11"
tablet... Which is what I am using it for.






PRICE: $14.99

The print on this case is STUNNING! it is very well made! Top
quality materials and superior craftsmanship.

The inside of the case is covered in a soft felt like
material. It feels really soft. There is plenty of cushioning. Your device will
be very well protected inside this sleeve.

There is an external pocket that is also lined in a soft
material. The sleeve is secured with a leather loop around a large button.
Similar to an intra-office envelope.

There is a separate pouch that comes in the package with the
same material that I assume you would us for a power supply.

Inateck makes really wonderful products! At $14.99 it is an
absolute bargain!

Inateck Compact Kindle Paperwhite Sleeve Review




Inateck makes really top quality cases. You can definitely
feel the superior workmanship that went into the making of this Kindle
Paperwhite felt sleeve.


PRICE: $12.99

The sleeve I received was gray felt, with a tan leather strap
with a velcro stay. When the Kindle is in the sleeve, you can pull the tan
leather strap, and it will pull out the Kindle just enough to easily remove it.

The felt is very thick and feels great in the hand. I also
am confident my Kindle will be protected if I drop my device.



I really love this case! For $13 bucks I think it is an
amazing deal!

ZeroLemon Rugged iPhone 6 3500mAh Battery Case Review and Hands-On







ZeroLemon is one of the cell phone battery leaders for
years. I have used many of their batteries in my devices, and they always
exceed my expectations.


PRICE: $50.99

This new Rugged Case for the iPhone 6 is amazingly nice! It triples
the phones built in battery capacity. It is built super tough with awesome fit
and finish.

Installing this on your phone is very easy. There are 2
clips you open at the top of the bumper area, slide in your phone, re-clip the
top and you are done.

This case does add considerable bulk to the phone. Which for
me is a welcome addition because I feel I can hold it better. The case has a
matte finish that adds grip to the case. There is a brushed aluminum plate in
the back that adds to an upscale look.

To operate this case, just push and hold the power button on
the back for 2 seconds. Your phone will let you know it's charging, and there
are 4 LED's to indicate your cases battery level. You recharge the case with
the included Micro USB cable. This will also recharge your iPhones internal
battery first, then the cases battery. Sync Direct technology,allows you to
sync your computer without needing to remove the case. Charge both your iPhone
and battery case together with the included microUSB cable.

ZeroLemo provides a 1 year warranty on this product.

Great product! The only noted "con" is that it's
really hard to reach the mute switch with this case on. I hardly ever use it,
so it's not an issue for me. But it might be for some.

Anker 6440mAh Extended battery For The Note 4 Review and Hands-On





Anker 6440mAh Extended battery For The Note 4 Review and
Hands-On
I have used Anker extended batteries on several of my
previous phones. They always fit my phone great, and operate like a champ.


PRICE: $26.99

This extended battery for the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is
6440mAh's, which doubles the phone OEM battery. Because it is twice as big in
capacity  it is also twice as big
physically. And you have to use the supplied extended battery case back. You
remove the original case back and use the one supplied in the package.

This battery fits into the phone perfectly. The new extended
case back snaps on to the phone precisely. The new case back has some texture,
but it might be slippery to some, especially if you are perspiring.

In using this battery I am seeing about 2 full days worth of
use on my phone. It is worth mentioning that this battery does take twice as
long to recharge this battery, but it is tolerable using your OEM rapid
adaptive charger.

The battery does have NFC built in, but I did not test this
feature on this battery. I have on other Anker batteries, and they have always
worked in the past.

Of course, this battery comes with Ankers 18 month warranty.
And their customer support is top notch!

NewTrent iPhone 5 Trentium Rugged Case Review





This iPhone 5 case from NewTrent is really nice. It's really
well made and offers full protection of your phone.


PRICE: $15.99

There is an integrated screen protector that actually looks
great on the phone. Just make sure you clean your screen well with the included
alcohol wipe.

Installing the case on the iPhone 5 was very straight
forward. It fits the phone perfectly with full access to all the phone
controls. Pictures still shot great with this case installed.

This case from NewTrent includes 3 different colored back
plates for a little customization options. The case has great hand feel, and
does add as much bulk as an OtterBox case does.

Once you install this case you will know your phone is well
protected from drops, dust, and splashes from water. Understand that this case
is not waterproof.

The case comes with an 18 month warranty from NewTrent.

Retevis RT-602 Walkie Talkie 22 Channel Review and Hands-On





Retevis RT-602 Walkie Talkie 22 Channel Review and Hands-On

Retivis makes a great pair of inexpensive but reliable
walkie talkies! With a range of almost two miles, there are a ton of uses for
this product.


PRICE: $34.99

These walkie talkies are really compact, but pack in a ton of
higher end features usually found in a more expensive set. When I got these my
original intent was to send them to my 6 year old grandson, but I have always
wanted to take a pair of these on our next cruise.

Like I mentioned, these are compact, and easily fit into a
pocket or purse. There is an attached belt clip, so of course you can put it
here. It can be very loud if you adjust the volume up, so you won't miss any
"calls". Sound quality was very good. Very clear. I used them out to
about 3/4's of a mile with no problem. There are a ton of "modes" and
"function" I have no idea to use. I just set both units to the same
channel and they worked fine.

This set has rechargeable batteries included, as well as a
base station recharger. Just take a little time to make sure you are installing
the batteries correctly.They need to go in a certain way so the base station
can recharge them.

Everything is well made, and should be able to stand up to
some abuse from a youngster. One additional feature worth mentioning, each
handset has a built-in flashlight! I thought that was a cool add-on.

Retivis sent me this product in exchange for an unbiased

Tronfy KeepSport T3 Bluetooth Headphones Review and Hands-On






Tronfy makes a great pair of Bluetooth 4.0 Headphones! They
pack a lot into a very small package.


PRICE: $35.00

These headphones sound great and fit well in my ears. Pairing
was easy with my phone. What I especially like about these particular
headphones is how well they stay in my ears during active user. Most of the
other headphones of similar design would constantly pop out, or would hurt my
ears with extended use.

These headphones are controlled by a small three button
control. There is a volume up/skip track, play/pause/answer call button, and a
volume down/back track button. The microphone is also located here.

These headphones use AptX audio coding technology, which
make the sound sound crisp and clean. Also, when fitted in your ear properly,
this headphones do a good job of sound isolation, so you do hear outside noise
as much. This headset also has one of the newer Bluetooth 4.0, which I find
have better sound, and play better with your phone. These headphones also have
voice prompts which is a great feature.

The headphones are built well. The packaging is very
minimal, and includes the headphones 
Micro USB cable, and spare eat pads.



Tronfy sent me these headphones for free in exchange for an

Yunteng Selfie Stick Monopod Review and Hands-On







The Yunteng Monopod is a King among selfie sticks! Made from
aluminum alloy, this monopod is built for wear! Extends to 50 inches!


PRICE: $25.99

This aluminum alloy monopod/selfie stick has 4 separate adjusting
sections, each with its own locking clip. Fully extended it goes out to a full
50 inches! Folded up is only 18 inches. Still compact enough to slip into my
backpack. This selfie stick is larger than any of the other ones I have tested
to date.

The handle is made of a very solid rubber, and includes a
built in wrist strap. BUT... what is cool is that there is a Bluetooth shutter
release device that installs into the handle, and sits under where your thumb
sits. You can remove this Bluetooth shutter for use else wear, and it is
rechargeable with the included MicroUSB cable.

The package also includes a GoPro pripod mount, and a very
strong (as in your phone is super snug) cell phone mount.

Using this device is easy. All the clamps are easy to
engage, and lock into place very securely.

Two "CONS" I would mention are:
- This monopod is a little heavier than others I have used.
When fully extended with my phone in the cradle... I needed two hands.
- I wish it came with a storage bag.

URPOWER Plug-In Combustible Gas Detector Review






THIS DEVICE COULD SAVE THE LIFE OF YOU FAMILY! 

It's very
affordable protection from a hidden killer in your home. This gas detector
shows the gas level in Parts Per Million (PPM) on a digital red LED display. It
will only display if the reading exceeds 1000 PPM.


PRICE: $16.99

This combustible gas detector is made from plastic, and comes
with mounting hardware in the box. It operates both on AC power, and a 9V
battery backup.

When you first turn it on, there are very loud voice
instructions, which I thought was pretty cool.It runs through a 3 minutes
calibration/self-test. You can easily hit the "test" button anytime
to make sure everything is working correctly. This device uses a catalytic
combustion method sensor, which is often found in much more expensive models.

So, if you have gas appliances in your home, RV, or boat,
you should get one of these gas detectors. It might save your life.

**NOTE: According to the literature... this detector cannot
detect CO2.

LP USB Car Charger Review and Hands-On











LP produced a great little USB car charger that outputs at
2.4A cutting the charging time by 50%!


PRICE: $9.49

This car charger does one thing... it charges your phone
fast. At 2.4 amps it about 150% fast than most 1 amp chargers you will find at
the checkout stand at Walgreens for the same price as this one.

This charger only has one output, so you do not have to
divide the amperage of the charger, so your phone will get the full output.

It is a well made little device with built-in voltage
protections.

Specifications:
Input: DC 12V / 24V
Output: 5V / 2.4A

Easycare Cellphone Sterilizer Review and Hand-On













Your cellphone is a filthy germ infested device stuck to
your face...now you can kill those germ!


PRICE: $56.99

This is a really cool product! I probably would have not sought
out a product like this, but the folks at Easycare sent this to me for free for
an unbiased product review and demo.

You can easily hear your phone notification while it is
being sanitized. There are also 3 small cables to connect to the charging port
inside the UV sanitizer. One is a MicroUSB cable, and one is a Apple Lightning
cable, and there is a 40 pin older Apple connecter.

You can sterilize pretty much ANY cell phone in this thing.
The sterilization function takes 6 minutes. It is sterilized by 2 UV lights
inside the glossy pink box.There is a blue LED on the cover that is illuminated
while it is sterilizing.

You can sterilize other objects other than a cell phone!
Like your socks or underwear! Hell,why not! Seriously... sterilizing your
toothbrush is a brilliant idea!

And my favorite feature... aromatherapy! Yes, you can add a
few drops of essential oils on the built in warming diffuser and get your cell
phone smelling like roses....literally!



This is a very nice product. Everything you need it really
included in the box. The packaging is beautiful. I cannot find any cons to
