Review of Anker Bluetooth stereo headset w/lots of pics!!!

This is a review of Anker Bluetooth Stereo headset for music streaming and hands free calling. http://www.amazon.com/Anker®-Bluetooth-Headset-HandsFree-Calling/dp/B00ENF5CZQ/
Yes, believe it or not, people still use these single piece on-ear wireless headsets when driving or outside where they still have to be aware of surrounding. That is a key with this type of headsets where your one ear is open to keep you aware of surrounding environment. Typically these feature better sound quality and more functionality in comparison to older models. So let's take a closer look at new addition to Anker's catalog.
Arrived in their signature environmentally friendly plastic-free package, you get a wireless headset with 2 sets of high quality adjustable ear-hooks, 3 pairs of silicone eartips in different sizes, and usb charging cable. This wireless headset is very light, at only 12g, and dimensions of approximately 55mm x 17mm x12mm and additional 15mm for earpiece part. The ear-hook rotates to adjust the angle by 360deg and can also be flipped 180deg for left/right ear use. It has a very sleek professional look with minimum controls, multifunction call/power button facing outside and volume up/down on the bottom edge. The top edge has micro-usb charging port.. Also, I was glad that Anker logo was printed inside, makes the outside of this headset to look clean. Furthermore, inside there was multi-color led indicator and microphone.
Pair up took seconds, and after initial connection a voice guidance provided a confirmation. Although I only tried using this headset inside where everything sounded crystal clearer up to 40ft away from my phone, according to the spec this headset is equipped with CVC (clear voice capture) echo and noise cancellation technology to help you in a noisy environment. As a bonus, beside just a phone connection, it was also connected to phone media (thanks to A2DP and AVRCP protocol support), and I was able to stream music from my Note 2 and remotely control the volume of the audio on my phone. Its a great feature since switching between playing music and picking up the call is seamless, and on a full battery charge you get up to 5hr of talk or audio playback.
Overall, its a great little wireless headset that packs a lot of features, has a nice solid build, and a very professional look. Considering a price of under $20 shipped and 18-month warranty with lifetime tech support - this is one great value as well.
Here are the pictures.

iClever® IC-BTS02 Portable Bluetooth 4.0 Speaker Review

Bluetooth speaker is one of these accessories that you can find absolutely useless, but you will love it once you use it for the first time. It's a perfect "boom-box" for small parties or a nice gadget that makes your house cleaning less boring. Today I put my hands on one of the best cheap Bluetooth speaker available on the market – the iClever IC-BTS02. It's not a professional review, as I don't have the required hardware to measure the output or frequency. This "review" is more an opinion.
iClever IC-BTS02 is not a big device. The device can be easily hidden in the pocket as it's dimensions are 64.5x64.5x70.1mm. It weights only 261g, so it's not the heaviest speaker. In the box you will find a speaker and the AUX cable. There is no charger available, but you can use every microUSB charger available for smartphones. This small 5W does some really impressive job not only indoors, but also outdoors. It's loud, basses are great and the distortion level is very low, considering the size of the device.

The only flaw I have found is the speaker placement, as it throws the audio upward rather than spreading it around. The volume controls are also placed unusual, as you can find them under the speaker. The only button available on the front panel is the phone button. You can also control the speaker from your phone or tablet. Sound delay via Bluetooth isn't big, but watching the YouTube video without AUX cable makes it a bit out of sync.
The range of the Bluetooth is also good if you don't have too many walls in your apartment. I experienced some sounds dropouts when I was going to another room ~7m (23 ft away). My overall experience with the range was rather good.
Connecting the device to phone is a piece of cake. All you need to do is flicking the power button and finding the speaker in your Bluetooth available devices menu. Connection takes just a few seconds. Speaker is able to remember up to eight devices. You shouldn't have any problems to connect the device. It will connect to the last paired device available.
Pros:
price
small size
quite good sound quality
Cons:
signal can drop from time to time

Unboxing
This Accessory is packaged with an high amount of cables: 1x 3.5mm Audio Cable, 1x 3.5mm to RCA Cable, 1x TOSLink/SPDIF Optical Cable and 1x Micro-USB Cable. Also, there is the usual Instruction Manual. (English/Chinese)
As regards the Build Quality, it has a Matte Surface (easy to scratch unfortunately), and the quality of the Plastic is decent. Considering the usage, there is no need to have premium material for the exterior. What matters is the audio quality.
On the front, there is a single Power Button that works also as a secondary button to enable pairing mode or switch between devices, together with a Status LED just under it.
On the left, there are two switches, used to switch (well...yes) between TX/RX modes and SPDIF/Aux connection.
On the back, there is a classical 3.5mm Aux Jack, 2x SPDIF Ports and a Micro-USB port for charging.
Nothing important on the other sides.
Sound Quality
As regards the sound quality, as i always say i am not an audiophile so i can't provide you some professional audio tests, but based on my power-user experience, the quality is definitely higher than using a standard adapter without APT-X and SPDIF, using 100% of the Bluetooth Bandwidth in order to obtain the best sound quality with no compression, low bitrate, and other issues caused by a standard A2DP connection.
I have tested the SPDIF port using my TV together with my APT-X Archeer Headphones and the combo is just great.
Also using APT-X Headphones but together with the AUX port as Input, works fine too, but not as good as using the Optical Connection of course.
There is something i miss though, a microphone for voice-calls if used with a Smartphone. This would have been a great feature to have, but as always, it isn't possible to have everything,
Conclusions
Compared to similar products, based on my research, this might be one of the cheapest ones available on the market, and considering the quality, it is definitely something to not ignore.
Summarizing all, i can definitely recommend this accessory.
Archeer, if you are reading this review, please add a Microphone in your next model
Pros:
- Decent Battery Life
- Excellent Sound Quality
- Dual AUX/SPDIF connections
- Pretty easy to use.
Cons:
- No Microphone
- Matte, easy to scratch, Surface

ZMI PurPods Pro - The best TWS earphone you can buy for around 70 USD.

I'm not a audiophile but sometime, I would need an earphone to listen to some music and talk on the phone without put the large screen smartphone to my face. ZMI PurPods Pro is my choice for this purpose.
Here are my first initial thoughts for a week of usage.
The good:
- Sound quality is good (but not excellence, and not as loud as other earphone - like Anker Liberty 2 Pro).
- Noise cancelation features are good, there are a lot of option to choose (with ZMI Hear app).
- Micro phone are very good, it will suitable for someone who talks on the phone / voice call / video call a lot.
- Nice and trendy design.
- Ergonomic design that will fit to my ear and won't hurt for long time use.
Not good:
- Water resistant rated is low, only IPX4 (Other got IPX7, IPX8), which mean it can only resist your sweat.
- Sound loudness is low.

The earphone will stay inside at the middle of the package.
We will get 2 size of ear tips for replacement, and a USB-A to USB-C charging cable.
Closer look at the earphone and ZMI Hear app.
The charging case is ovan, so it will not able to stand on your table. The ZMI logo is also a LED indicator. Very brilliant design.
The charging case is using USB Type-C port to charge, or you can charge it wirelessly with any Qi wireless compatible charge.
2 earphones inside the charging case.
Like other TWS earphone, you will get magnet here to fix the earphone inside the charging case.
Bluetooth connection is fast and stable, I'm using with Huawei P40 Pro.
You can install ZMI Hear app on Play store / Appstore to use all the features of the earphones.
