Alcatel 3X 2020 Review Reverse Charging Phone

With Windows Phone officially "out of the race", Android and iPhone have free rein of the European phone market, although Android has the larger share, which is not surprising especially in a time where people are seeking freedom over restrictions! Infamously known as the "walled garden", iPhone's operating system (iOS) is the polar opposite of Android - a highly customizable operating system Apple users could only dream of! Another reason for Android's ongoing dominance is choice. As of 2021, there is close to 30,000 Android phone models on the market, compared to just 29 iPhone models. The latest Android phone model, it's the Alcatel 3X (5061K) 2020 version, which is powered by Android 10. Like most Android phones, when setting up the Alcatel 3X 2020 you can easily copy the apps and data from your old phone, as well setup the security features, including fingerprint unlock, screen lock and face recognition unlock, although you can skip these during the...

House of Marley Exodus ANC Review Wood Headphones

Connecting with people's minds 50 years later, Bob Marley was ahead of his time. Every song he made was empowering in some way or enlightening like the song Exodus, which depicts the current times we are living now! As well as being the ninth studio album by Bob Marley and the Wailers, Exodus is also House Of Marley's first ANC headphones.

A full charge takes around 3 hours, giving you up to 28 hours of runtime with ANC switched on and 50% volume. With ANC switched off, the Exodus ANC headphones manage a massive 78 hours of battery life. The Exodus ANC support SBC and AAC codecs; hence no aptX support, which minimizes latency on Android devices. Despite the lack of aptX, there is no perceivable latency when watching videos on Y...

Tripowin TC 01 Review Metal Body IEM

It is no secret that the material something is made of affects its performance! Plastic is, and has been for quite some time, the preferred choice of material for making headphones. Even though, it isn't necessarily the best sounding, plastic is lightweight making it a good choice for sports headphones. When it comes to durability and sound though, nothing beats a metal body, which is obviously a lot more stronger and has the added benefit of making audio sound more natural and crispier. Many people seek out earphones/IEMs with metal bodies for this very reason and, while they tend to be a little more pricey, there are affordable offerings to be had, including the Tripowin TC 01, which is a very comfortable and bass heavy IEM with 0.78mm 2 pin cable. The TC 01 is Tripowin's second IEM release - the first one being the TP10 (a 5 balanced armature driver earphone). The Tripowin TC 01 metal shell has a mirror polish with an iridescent multi color sheen finish to it that changes co...
