Tech: Deific Design Bluetooth Earbuds

December 17, 2016 · 2 Comments

I love crisp, rich music.

I hate earbud cords and ill-fitting earbuds.

Which is why I love Deific Design Bluetooth Earbuds.

These Bluetooth Earbuds have deep, true bass, incredibly clear tones, and have a feature that most earbuds do not: they actually fit my weird shaped ear canals! Instead of the standard hard speakers of most earbuds, Deific Design Bluetooth Earbuds come with multiple sized covers, and there is one that is small enough to be comfortable in my ears. That alone is enough to make them my favorite pair, but the fact that I discovered instruments and notes in favorite songs that I hadn’t heard even from my top of the line, no cost spared speaker system makes them indispensable in my book.

Our office recently underwent a move, and my office space seems to be the acoustic apex of the place. It doesn’t help that the people on either side of me use speakerphone for absolutely every conversation. Ever tried typing an email when three people are talking to you at once, on three different topics? It’s like that. So I wanted a set of earbuds so I could listen to music to block out the ambient noise, but still be able to hear if someone came in my office. I also wanted something subtle looking. These earbuds work great on all counts. Ambient noise is dulled, I can still hear what needs my attention, and my hair covers the thin wire behind my neck, so it is relatively inconspicuous.

I also really like the phone notification feature. When a call comes in, these earbuds notify you and give you the number. This is a nice feature if I’m not in eye-view of my phone and a call comes in. The sound quality on phone calls is excellent as well. While it does not have a microphone, it makes it easier to answer and talk on the phone when I’m juggling several items.

Do you take the train to and from work? I’m really enjoying Netflix’s new download feature to be able to watch on the go. I tried a few different earbud and earphone configurations, and I like Deific Design Bluetooth Earbuds for sound quality with videos on both my Kindle and iPad while watching videos.

The instructions in the manual that come with the earbuds is pretty comprehensive, so be sure to read it through before you use the earbuds. Of note, be sure to charge the earbuds for an hour and a half before use, and familiarize yourself with the buttons. Take a couple of minutes to make sure you know where each button is and the uses of the handy Multi-Function Button, and you will be able to use the earbuds without having to look at them. Ending a call, redialing a number, skipping a track, etc., will become second nature in no time! It’s also worth spending some time learning how to pair the earbuds with two devices, especially if you are using then with your tablet to watch a movie but still want to be able to receive phone calls on the earbuds.

Have you ever accidentally dropped your earbuds in water and ruined them? I have (many times). A quick tumble into a cup of tea won’t be a problem with the Deific Design Bluetooth Earbuds. While they aren’t meant for swimming or showering, they are water-resistant. So whether you enjoy listening to music in your hot tub, the bath, or are just clumsy like me and your earbuds occasionally end up meeting with water, you will continue to enjoy the high-quality sound of these great earbuds.

The good folks at Delfic Designs want you to be entirely happy with your purchase. If you have any questions or concerns, contact them. Whether the answer is troubleshooting, a refund, or a new pair, they will make sure you are 100% happy with your decision to buy these great earbuds!

Entertainment: August Multiroom WiFi Speaker

November 20, 2016 · Leave a Comment

I have an epic digital music collection. I’ve collected since 1997 (all legal, of course.) I also subscribe to several music streaming services so I can always keep my playlists fresh and exciting. So I’m not going to settle for mediocre sound. That is why I am thrilled to find the powerful and crisp August Multiroom WiFi Speaker.

This model is a lightweight but an extremely powerful speaker with deep bass and clear sound. It is a multi-room speaker in that it can be brought anywhere wirelessly.

This speaker has several ways to have sound transmitted to it. The first is WiFi. Through August’s easy to use app, you can configure access to your wireless network easily. My wireless has a pretty robust security layer, but it was fairly effortless to configure and stream music over WiFi. This works out fantastically when I stream music off of my desktop in the office and bring the speaker into the kitchen while I’m cooking. It also works via Bluetooth. Pairing the speaking with via Bluetooth is incredibly easy, and it automatically connects after the first time it is set up. If I’m relaxing or taking a spa afternoon, I enjoy using the speaker with a playlist off of my iPhone streamed via Bluetooth. Using it on Bluetooth is also perfect for picnics or other outdoor events where you don’t have WiFi available. Another way to use it off of your iPhone is Airplay, which works very well, and it has an AUX connection to connect directly to a device.

While the rechargeable battery is supposed to last 22 hours, I have used it for far longer between charges. The charges go quite fast (via USB), and the unit can be used while charging, so your unit will never be out of commission.

To get truly fantastic sound, I recommend getting two of these speakers. You can designate them as left and right speakers for a true surround sound.

One of my favorite uses is as a sound system on my TV. I tend to watch a lot of movies on my laptop, with a full satellite and subwoofer system attached, so I’m used to good sound on movies. The sound isn’t terribly good on my TV, but using this speaker adds a nice resonance and depth to the sound when I stream movies.

As I mentioned earlier, the app is easy to use. It lets you configure several streaming services, including Spotify, Tidal, Tune In, and iHeart Radio. I am a big user of Amazon Prime Music, which would be a nice addition, but I haven’t had any problems at all streaming Amazon Music from my devices.

I am thrilled to have found such a versatile and impressive speaker system. I use it daily and plan on purchasing more in the future both for myself and as gifts.

At Home Spa: ZHOPPY 2-in-1 Night Light and Bluetooth Speaker

August 24, 2016 · Leave a Comment

ZHOPPY 2-in-1 Night Light and Bluetooth Speaker

ZHOPPY 2-in-1 Night Light and Bluetooth Speaker

My masseuse has this incredible sound system in the treatment rooms. I am no stranger to epic sound systems for my equally epic digital music collection, but the ones I have tried in my at-home spa are always a little tinny. So I am thrilled to find the ZHOPPY 2-in-1 Night Light and Bluetooth Speaker.

I have a dedicated (and always evolving) playlist for when I’m relaxing during an at-home spa treatment. So finding a speaker that has great sound and works with my iPhone, which is where I keep my playlist, has been my aim.

When I first took the ZHOPPY 2-in-1 Night Light and Bluetooth Speaker out of the box and saw the size of the unit, I didn’t have high expectations of a deep, robust sound, or a soothing light. But this small Nightlight and Speaker packs a lot of power into a small unit. The light is deep and saturated, and the sound is absolutely amazing.

When I think of a nightlight, I tend to think of a light that is just bright enough to orient yourself when you see it in the corner. The ZHOPPY Night Light produces just enough light to be able to very gently illuminate the room, but not as much as a bedside lamp. It isn’t enough to read by, but it is bright enough to provide a soothing glow. The color of the light is easy to change: simply tap on the top and side on the device at the same time. The color will change immediately to another soothing shade. Keep repeating the “double tap” motion to find the hue that suits you. To increase or decrease the brightness, tap the speaker grid on top. One of the options is to turn the light off completely. This is convenient if you like complete darkness during the night (as it does aid sleep), but would still like to have a nightstand option for light if needed, or a lower level of light closer to bed.

The sound is incredible. The first time I tested it out was late at night when everyone else was asleep. I pressed play, and the loud, crisp, deep bass rang through the house as I quickly scrambled to turn it down. I did not expect such amazing audio from a small device! It is comparable to a speaker system I have with a pretty decent subwoofer.

The device is powered by a rechargeable battery that lasts impressively long between charges (I have only had to recharge it once in about two weeks) and it is easily charged via USB, which is convenient. I have mainly been using the Auxillary mode for audio, however, so the battery life might be shorter if used in Bluetooth mode, which I only used for a few hours.

I’m quite happy with this small but powerful device for its soothing light and its powerful speaker for my beauty treatment relaxation time!
