VIBE BS Co. Ltd (www.vibeworld.co.kr)Seoul launched its new Vibes BS (Body Sensation) range of amplified earphones few days back. We received a sample for testing it and found it an excellent product for those who care for their ear. First thing we notice about them that these earphones come with their own amplifier and volume control selection. The 3.5mm jack is used in these earphones and I would say this is one thing that makes these earphones compatible to almost any audio device. Usual headphones or earphones when used for long duration cause harm to our ear in two ways. First thing is the sound coming from normal headphones in directed straight to eardrums causing hearing loss. High volume can even make someone deaf! This is scary and no one wants to be deaf. Second damage is that since these headphones cover the ear canal, it makes condition favorable for bacteria and fungus to grow inside our ear resulting in fungal or bacterial infections in ear. If left untreated can again result in hearing loss and not to forget the severe pain in ear.

Diagrams above illustrate how normal earphones will block your ear canal and cause problems while Vibes BS just let your ear work like they do naturally while also letting you listen to your favorite song with bodily sensation effect. This is helpful in many situations like you are with some of your friends gossiping and your friend wants you to listen to his favorite new song, with Vibes you listen to it while also continuing gossips with your friends. If you have connected these earphones with your cell phone, you can also listen to incoming calls but you will have to use phone inbuilt mic to talk.

To get an unbiased user experience of Vibes earphones we choose a volunteer who was completely unaware of this brand but very fond of listening music. At first she was not convinced and said it was not loud, when we told her about the presence of volume control in the earphone, she was impressed with the powerful output and clarity. She enjoyed the feeling of the music in form of vibrations produced from the earphones that were perfectly in tune with the music. All our volunteers also appreciated built quality of Vibes.

Talking of battery backup, all I could say, you just need to charge it and forget it. When you plug it for charging, a red LED glows indicating that battery is charging and when it’s fully charged, the LED goes off. This is nice because you can be sure that you never over or under charge the unit. Obviously you don’t need to keep a constant eye on the LED, put it on charge and check it once in a while. Vibe is equipped with Lithium ion battery which is known for providing best battery backup and these is no memory effect which is seen in cheaper Ni-MH or Ni-Cd batteries.

Charger is very compact and lightweight. You might need not carry charger all time, you can retract the cable from charger which also doubles as a USB cable, all you need is to plug one end to USB of your laptop or desktop and other end to the Vibe amplifier and it will start charging. If your car head unit has USB then you can also plug it there and charge it on the go. Very useful thing and I wish even cell phone manufacturers if flowed this, could save many people from buying extra car chargers for their phone.

At last all we can say that Vibes BS is not only a new kind of earphone which gives unique feel of sound but its features makes it must have for those who use earphones for longer durations. We love the white color but many geeks want their gadgets to be in black, and yes Vibe BS is also available in black.

Wonder how loud these small speakers can be which you see in the picture above? These speakers though small have inbuilt rechargeable batteries, so no external power source is needed (think about mobility and outdoor use) but does these speakers give enough output for outdoor use? All these questions come to halt when we actually played a song outside with just one speaker and some of the over sensitive ear creatures (read girls) had their fingers in their ear. Twist them and they open from middle to give some bass too! This is new technology, which enables these small speakers to give bass. Don’t expect glass breaking bass but its definitely good than having no bass at all. Speakers look well built and plastic used feels solid as well as nice to touch. Finishing of this product is very good, no sharp edges anywhere. Turn the speakers on and you will see bright nice looking blue LED and when you plug these speakers in USB for charging, the same blue LED will turn red.

Suppose you buy a pair of these speakers and your friends too, now don’t regret why you all bought same thing because interesting part is you can attach any numbers of these x-mini speakers together and you guessed right, sound output will be just mind blowing! More the number of x-mini speakers, more will be the sound output. So tell all your friends to get these and have a blast.

X-mini comes with a 3.5mm audio jack which is a kind of industry standard and can be found on most mp3 players, multimedia phones, laptop etc even if has sometime different then there are always adapters available so mating x-mini speakers with your multimedia device should never be a problem. My friend found these speakers very useful for his laptop as laptop speakers are not very powerful and does not always offer good quality sound and he is a movie freak watching moving on his laptop is his favorite pastime. Being small he can carry them in his laptop bad very easily and since it does not need external power, it does not drain his laptop battery as well.

I am enjoying these x-mini speakers and will keep posting more about them.

UPDATE: X-mini speakers featured on CNBC TV18 Tech Toyz Show as one of the must have Work Station Gadget. Sweet!

Going out for an adventurous holiday but afraid to take your expensive digital still camera with you as it may get spoiled? Water, dust and mechanical shock are few things that your camera may be subjected to in journey and these things will definitely harm any digital camera. Why refrain yourself from shooting nice pictures when you have the new Casio Exilim EX-G1 digital camera which is shock-resistant, waterproof, dustproof.

The EX-G1 is designed with shock-resistant elements throughout the camera, both inside and out, creating a smart look in a slim-line camera with functional beauty. In addition to capturing high-resolution 12.1 effective megapixel images, the EX-G1 also features modes such as interval shooting and multi-image capture which utilize the camera’s endurance qualities. The interval shooting function can automatically take still photos or movies at fixed intervals, enabling users to capture great shots while engaged in active sports such as snowboarding or cycling.

Through rigorous testing, the EX-G1 has been designed and created with a shock-resistant shell which passes drop tests including multiple falls from seven feet. Featuring a two-layer construction with a stainless steel outer-casing, the EX-G1 inner body withstands shock and water damage. The camera’s intelligent design is constructed with a resin cover to protect the body side near the shutter and a resin lens ring to protect the lens.

The technologically-advanced design features waterproof performance and corresponds to IEC/JIS Protection Class 8 (IPX8) waterproofing. The EX-G1 can be used at depths at 10 feet for 60 continuous minutes. Water will not penetrate the camera even when directly sprayed with jets of water from every direction corresponding to Protection Class 6 (IPX6). Capable of withstanding temperatures as low as 14°F, Casio’s EX-G1 boldly captures images where any adventurer goes.

Sony launched a new style of headphones (model: MDR-NC300) with 98.4% noise cancellation feature. These earphones as claimed by company produce true hi-fi quality audio. Best part is that these are sure to fit your ear perfectly as they come with 7 sizes of silicon earbuds. Mostly earphones of this design come in standard size which either fit too tight or loose enough to fall every now and then.

Laptops are the most preferred computer in both home and offices. Single most important reason is its portability; you can work on it like a workstation and then carry it anywhere you go. However some laptops with huge screen size and bulky components make the laptop heavy and uncomfortable to carry it everywhere. I workout in gym and lift heavy weight but sometimes my laptop causes pain in my hand when I have to keep in hand longer, infact I cannot do that and I always have to find any table so that I can keep it and then work. One day I really got fed up when my laptop battery got finish just before important meeting with client and that day I decided to keep my bulky laptop and home only and buy a second laptop which is small, light weight, has good battery backup so that I don’t have to look for charging points all the time.

I was reading a review at cnet on Samsung’s new N120 laptop and to my surprise; it was really a 100% match of what I was looking for in a laptop. This cute little laptop has a 10.2 inch screen which is just perfect for carrying around and a nice keyboard which feels very comfortable for typing. This laptop also gives me an amazing 10 hours of battery backup, thanks to energy efficient Intel Atom processor while my existing laptop gives me less than 3 hours and that too when I dim the screen brightness. Because I will mostly use my laptop for presentations and even play music when I am with friends, I want good sound output from my laptop and Samsung N120 is a champ on that part too. SRS sound with 2.1 channel speakers gives loud and decent quality sound which most highly priced laptops fail to provide. Talking of price, this laptop comes at a price that will make you smile, at only USD 499; it’s definitely a steal deal. I would strongly suggest my readers to go to your nearest computer shop and try your hands on Samsung N120, and also write your comments; I’ll be reading them all and replying to your queries regarding this product if any.

Technology used in making television has changed drastically. Long used technology was CRT and it’s still used in making television sets. There were some drawbacks with this CRT technology that led to the development of better technology like plasma, LCD and now LED. CRT TV’s are bulky; don’t offer crisp and clear picture quality. Then came the flat panel TV’s which used plasma for producing images. It was good but images were not as bright as needed for good viewing pleasure. Then came LCD which offered superb contrast ratio and crisp pictures but they lack the smooth motion display capability and never matched the performance of CRT or even plasma.

Now Samsung has introduced LED based flat panel televisions which are not only thin (width of just 2.99 cm) (thinner than LCD TV) but offer best life like picture quality. Thin doesn’t mean that it will have small speakers that will sound like radio. These TV’s will come with amazing surround sound speakers and they offer great movie experience. These TV’s use solid state light emitting diodes to produce picture which means images will be bright, rich in colors and you will get a never before seen contrast. Samsung LED TV use 100 Hz Motion plus technology which means you will have flicker free display and that white cricket ball will never leave a tail behind it on black background which used to be in older LCD TV’s. Like other advanced flat panel TV’s you can hook these televisions with your computer to use as a huge monitor too!

As much as functionality, looks also matter a lot, the crystal design of these Samsung LED TV will attract everyone attention and it will definitely add beauty to your home. It will be neighbors envy object for sure. With such pleasing design, you will want it to look at it all time even when it’s switched off.
