Hey,
some days ago Yinnuo sent me their headlamp (not headset!) for review so here it is now
Let me first clarify that I am neither paid by them nor related to them in any other way. My review is as honest and unbiased as possible.
Let's start :highfive:
General information
The headlamp came in a small and rather damaged box. Actually the box was half shredded so that first impression was "well they sent me this because it is already half broken". In the end what matters is the content though, so I won't go too hard on them here.
The specifications are:
5W LED lamp
4800 mAH rechargable battery
mounted to a strap
ContentThe content is straight forward:
the lamp (obviously)
charging cable with US plug

Contrary to most chinese gadgets there were zero manuals in the box. Given that it is just a rechargable lamp you as a customer should know how to use it I guess
LightI tested the lamp in my cellar and it emits a blue-ish light. The light is really bright and surprisingly focused. You can focus on exactly one point and it hardly spreads. The lamp itself has a small hinge so you can turn the lamp up and down. That's a good feature because you can exactly position the light to into your view. Also there are two brightness levels and you can switch between them by pressing the power button.
Battery LifeAfter charging the battery overnight I enabled it and left it on my desk. After 7 hours of work it was still shining so I guess the advertised 10 hours are rather realistic. Nice! The charger rates only 500 mA of output so charging will take really long, which is not so nice.
Wearing experienceThe lamp is HUGE. Really huge! You won't win a beauty contest with it but it's functional so that's okay. The only thing I found annoying is that the battery pack blocks a bit (~5%) of your upper view when wearing it. I like the wearing feeling though - the lamp sits tight on your head but it doesn't hurt, so that is definitely a plus.
ConclusionHere is my conclusionas bullet points:
Pro:
Cheap - 15$!
Really bright and focused light.
Good wearning comfort.
Decent battery life/large battery.
Two brightness levels.
Con:
Huge lamp doesn't exactly look good
No micro-USB for charging but a proprietary plug.
Charger output is 500 mA, so it takes nearly 10 hours to fully charge it.
Well, I like it. The only scenario where I could use it is in a tent on a festival but overall it seems to be a solid lamp for little money. If you're looking for such a lamp, consider buying it.

I am reviewing the following device in return for the usage and review of the said item here in XDA. I am not employed or affiliated with them, they were kind enough to seek my opinion on this product.
While not an accessory specific to Nexus 6, I figured I'd add this here because the N6 does have Quick Charging and wanted to let people know my experience with the item.
And honestly, I was looking for one of these desktop chargers for home. I previously bought one when I go on trips to power my various devices, but was looking to upgrade due to me and my wife's phone now equipped with Quick Charge 2.0.
Upon receiving it, The packaging was really nice. Minimal and not too much. Just enough to protect the contents and not hard to unpack at all. Inside housed the desktop charger, the plug, instructions, and other literature as seen in the pics.
The look is a nice textured matte finish and you can grip it pretty well. It has a good weight to it so it won't fly off your desk if you push papers towards it. You can orient it any way you would like to use it, but my preference for this charger is flat with the print facing up. I found that this way, it won't flop over, even though it has some heft to it, you can accidentally knock it over.
There is a power LED when you plug it into the wall. Not bright, just a nice dim blue led to let you know it's on. IMO a nice touch. Next I plugged in both mine and my wife's phone. (Nexus 6 and HTC M8 respectively). And both charged up pretty quickly! I then tested out the remaining three ports (the non-quick charge ones) and all worked as it should. Also I have to note that all the USB ports were easy to plug in and remove with different usb cords.
So is there really any negatives here? Not that I can see. This is a great product for the price listed on Amazon (17 USD prior to shipping if not a prime member).
Maybe offer different colors? With different color LEDs? Just throwing some quick things off the top of my head. But otherwise it's a great product to use.
Would I recommend this? Yes! Because multiple devices that have Quick Charge, we needed this for the times we need to quickly charge up before heading out to of the house and not really worry about carrying external batteries.
Any questions feel free to ask! Pics below

This is a Review of IceFox LED Desk Lamp with touch dimming control and usb charger. http://www.icefox.cc/en/product/led-desk-lamp-m1/, available now on US for under $60.
This is the best multi-function multi-use desk lamp that I’ve ever seen. The design is both contemporary and professional – this is a desk lamp that can transition from home to office without missing a beat. There are a ton of incredible features, from the 4 lighting modes and 5-step brightness dimming feature to the time control feature to the completely adjustable rotation – every feature is useful, intuitive, and consistently functional.
I collect coins and for the past few years have used a special desk that I set up for indulging in my hobby. In the middle of the summer one of my kiddos took over my hobby desk – I was unceremoniously kicked out of my favorite spot in the house. The dining room table spends more time being covered with another kiddo’s hockey gear than it spends empty so I couldn’t use that table. I found myself at the kitchen table but have been so incredibly frustrated by not having the kind of lighting that I need – we have a nice overhead light but the fact that it’s overhead means shadows, and the light just isn’t bright enough for what I needed. A few weeks ago I received the Icefox LED Desk Lamp at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review and my lighting challenge was solved! This desk lamp is beyond perfect for using to light up my work area – the “study” mode gives bright glare-free light that lets me work without any eyestrain. The adjustable and rotatable head, arm and base let me position the light where I need it to get a shadow-free work area. The handy USB port lets me keep my phone handy and charged for taking pictures while I’m working. I love that when I need the table for having dinner, my new LED lamp folds down and takes up very little space. And my favorite feature, the “relax” mode – dimmed down a step – is the perfect light when I’m winding down at the end of the day with my tea, or when I’m gearing up first thing in the morning with my coffee.

very good design
A good lamp for home use .
But not recommend for carrying out.
I just ordered this lamp from Amazon a couple weeks ago.
Link to purchase: http://www.amazon.com/Aukey-10000mAh-Portable-External-Supported/dp/B011U0AY22/
I got this to unit to test and in exchange to share my personal experience with the external charger. When I was given the opportunity to review an external charger, I requested one that could perform quick charging on my wife's M8 and my Nexus6. And it happened that Aukey was looking on some people to review their newly released external chargers. I initially thought, "great! a new portable charger that's 10,000mAh! With certified Qualcomm quick charge 2.0 to boot!
When I received my unit, I immediately thought how thin it was but when I opened up the packaging, I was pretty excited for this for some reason. Maybe because this is the first charger I had that can be used without being plugged in to use Quick Charge? Possibly. In looking at the battery itself, it's a bit lighter than my other 4 year old 10,000 mAh portable battery, However, this Aukey has Quick Charge 2.0 AND a flashlight. LOL Well I never really understood the reasoning of adding flashlights to external/portable batteries. It's great to have during a power outtage, but that's it really. There is not other usages I can personally think of to use it in a everyday carry bag. Don't get me wrong, the matte finish all around warrants the relatively cheap price for a 10k battery, but my one gripe is that the battery is pretty long. It doesn't really easily fit into a pocket. You have to put this in a bag, no question. For me, I had to store it in my glove compartment until I needed to use it.
When initially charging it up, it uses a micro USB cord. A great thing because my other older 10k battery uses a proprietary cord/adapter combo to charge the 4 year old battery pack. Also I realized the "Aukey" label lights up and is colorized and based on the color represents the current battery level of the battery. I need to mention when not fully charged, the "Aukey" logo that is lit up, "breathes" while it's charging, making the sense that it's alive and resting or sleeping lol.
Would I recommend this portable(ish) battery pack with Qualcomm Quickcharge 2.0? YES for me. For 30 bux on Amazon, it's not bad, but if you are looking to stuff it in your pocket, look elsewhere. This is a laptop bag battery where you can charge up your tablets and phone at the same time and not worry about depleting the battery.
Pros
Black matte color is cool
Breathing logo is cool when charging
Flashlight (Pro AND Con?)
Moderately light
2.0 Quick charge capability
Uses Micro USB cord to charge
Cons:
Moderately heavy
Flashlight(?)
Too long to stuff in ones pocket. You need to ask your significant other to put it in their purses/bags.

This is a review of a wireless charger from LDesign - http://www.amazon.com/Upgraded-Wireless-Charger-Charging-Motorola/dp/B015S8TXJC/
So I've personally never bothered to use QI wireless chargers for my phone, and the only device I own that support QI is my smartwatch. After the charger for my smartwatch, Motorola Moto 360, did throw in the towel I was on the lookout for a decent one to replace it. I came across many different ones, but one that really caught my eye was the one from LDesign.
The charger itself came in a pretty ordinary packaging that felt a little bit thin, and on the actual box there were a few specifications as well as information about the product. Inside the box is the charger, as well as a plain micro USB and a manual.
So when it comes to the actual charger, it looks pretty nice and feels solid compared to some other alternatives I’ve seen. The charger itself is partially made out of transparent plastic, which does glow up with a blue light when putting an QI capable device on it - this is great as the blue light makes it easier to see if the charger is actually charging the phone. There’s some rubber as well, so you don’t have to worry about your phone or device slipping off the charger when charging.
The charging performance is about as good as the original Moto 360 charger, but I was unable to measure the exact output of the charger. The charger doesn’t get hot while charging, and I’ve had no issues with its range either – for some reason I can even charge my Moto 360 with the strap in-between the device and charger. The only negative aspect is that the entire charger isn’t capable of charging, and just the square in the middle can be used for charging.
Pros:
Good design and it looks great on my desk.
Decent charging performance paired with my Moto 360
Rubber around the charging area so that the device doesn’t slip off.
Cons:
Not the entire charger can be used for charging
Note that the product was sent to me in exchange of this review, based entirely on my own opinion and experience with the product.

After doing some travelling I noticed some hotels have lamps on the night stands that also had USB ports in them. I thought this was a pretty cool idea so went on a search for something for my night stand. I found one available for as low as $31 on ebay or only $24 for the white version on Amazon.
I have a Nexus 6P so was interested in something that could also provide fast charging. The USB C and Nexus 6P is capable of 3 Amp charging and was at a loss to find one that could go that high but these lamps provide a full 2.4 Amp USB port that does allow the 6P to rapid charge. If you are like me you have chargers sticking out everywhere and limited outlets available. This convenient hotel quality lamp solves that bed side for you! The lamp is available in both black and white. There are many types of lighting from reading, to study to sleep with several brightness levels for each! So there should be a pleasing choice available for every situation. As a night light or for those that read in bed and fall asleep, there is a 60 minute timer option too!!
The lamp swivels 45 degrees in each direction from the base. The light moves forward or back on an elbow. The light itself swivels on the head as well! It even folds straight up to be out of the way when not in use! Of course the best part is that it is LED so uses very little electricity for those "green" of us and also don't like giving up more money to the electric companies! I have also seen the same company has one with a clock as well. I use my phone for clock and alarm so didn't need another clock in the house to set every power outage :silly:
LED is the future for lighting and saving $$$$

Nvm Amazon said non replacable. Not a deal breaker though
