Arctic Sound P311 Over-Ear Bluetooth HeadphonesLet’s give a break to the cellphones and also give our eyes a break too, let’s now enjoy the beautiful music! Smartphones are great for their versatility, their ability to offer different kinds of entertainment to us, but sometimes it depends on some extra hardwares too, say, you’ll need a really decent headphone to get the true beauty of your music. So check out the new Arctic Sound P311 Over-Ear Bluetooth Headphones.

 

Arctic Sound, a division of Arctic Cooling, has recently unveiled a new set of headphones, the P311 headphones are over-ear stereo bluetooth headphones with built in microphone and audio controls. These headphones are perfect for any device with bluetooth support: music players, laptops, mobile phones, or even iPad. The P311s deliver big sound for a relatively small set of headphones. You can fold them up, pop them into the included carrying case, and take them on the go with you. They’re also the ideal set of exercise headphones; they’re sure to stick comfortably to your ears, there’s no cords or wires to get in your way, and you can keep your music player out of harms way.

 

Design:
The Arctic Sound P311s are compact in size. They use the over-ear style with the frame that runs around your ear and behind your head. Visually, they don’t look like headphones that would fold up, but the headband folds in two areas and swivels at two points. With a bit of pressure, the headphones easily fold up to a much more portable size. Each ear phone has comfortable cushioned ear pads large enough to form a nice seal on your ear. On the outside of the right ear phone are five buttons. The center button is the multipurpose button, the four around it are next track, previous track, volume up, and volume down. The multipurpose button functions as On/Off, Play/Pause, Answer Call/End Call, and can even be used to call your last phone number, or access voice controls (if your device supports it). The other ear phone has the same design, but there are no functional buttons on it. Also on the right ear phone is the Mini-USB charging jack, covered by a small rubber flap, and a status LED with will blink red or blue. P311′s rigid frame is quite flexible, which allows it to function as a one-size-fits-all headset. The frame is all black and the ear phones are black and gun-metal gray.

 

Features:
Arctic Sound P311s are A2DP bluetooth headphones that deliver high fidelity audio. They have a bluetooth v2.1 + EDR profile. They’ll connect to just about any popular bluetooth audio device; cell phones, laptops, computers, and mp3 players. There is an invisible microphone built into the right ear piece for making phone calls or recording audio. It uses clear voice capture (CVC) technology to isolate the users voice from the unwanted background noises. The audio and volume controls can be controlled straight from the headset. If your bluetooth device supports it, you can even make, answer, and ignore phone calls by using the headset’s multipurpose button. With an iPhone, you can double tap the multipurpose button to bring up voice command. You can then request to call somebody or play any music you wish to hear.

 

Performance:
The Arctic Sound P311 headphones exceeded our expectations. For an inexpensive set of headphones, especially for stereo bluetooth headphones, Arctic Sound P311s deliver some awesome sound. We were just pretty satisfied with our last set of Arctic Sound headphones, but it seems that Arctic Cooling has come a long way since then. The bass in the P311 is deep and not overwhelming. The highs are clean and crisp. The mid-range audio was even pretty darned good for such a compact set of headphones. The P311 offers a great overall listening experience.

 

The bluetooth range of these headphones is also above average. The range is sufficient enough to listen to your music from the opposite side of a large room or an adjacent room. Once you get more than one wall away, or 15-20 meters, from the bluetooth device, the music will begin to cut out. The audio won’t degrade, it will just cut out. All bluetooth headphones and speakers have a delay. The delay on the P311s are also better than average; meaning when I press play my music starts playing immediately, not one second later. Videos are watchable, but the mouths can be slightly misaligned with the audio.

 

The headphones remain very comfortable even after a two hour workout or after a nap on the train. They do a great job of staying firmly in place. The headphone frame runs over the top of your ears and behind your head. This means they don’t have to squeeze the life out of your head just to stay in place. Making or receiving phone calls on your P311s is a treat because you don’t have to shut your music, or take off your headphones, or speak directly into anything. You can just talk regularly, and when the call is over your music will resume. I received feedback from my callers that there were times that the reception sounded grainy. I was still able to have full length conversations despite sounding grainy at times. The caller always sounded perfect on my end.

 

The only gripe I had with the P311s is the incompatible track control buttons with iPods, iPhones, and iPad. You can play and pause, but you cannot skip tracks or go to previous tracks. You can use voice commands on the iPhone to achieve this function, but it’s not quite the same as just pushing the button.

 

Conclusion:
For just $37.95, Arctic Sound is really offering us a lot of value here: A comfortable set of headphones, that sound great, are bluetooth wireless, have a microphone, built in controls, fold up, and come with a free carrying case. This is also a small price to pay for the ultimate set of gym headphones. There’s no cords getting in your way, they stay securely and comfortably against your ears, you can leave your phone or device out of harms way. Plus, you can totally rock out at the gym to these awesome sounding headphones. Even as just a bluetooth headset for making and receiving phone calls, they’re worth the $38. The Arctic Sound P311, by Arctic Cooling, is not yet available, but we highly recommend them, so jump when they do become available.

 

The greatest feature about this nice headphone is that it is wireless, and others like Great audio quality, Comfortable, Microphone, included carrying case, amazing at the gym; however the Previous Track and Next Track buttons are not compatible with Apple devices (quite a weakness since we love iPhones and iPods even more when it comes to listening to music).

animation headphonesOne great feature about smartphones nowadays is that they can play as a mp3 player too, some even can work as a video player. So to someone smartphones are not just smartphones, they’re also used as multimedia players. Because of that, a portable speaker will be very necessary. For those who have a young heart and love geeky stuff, here’re some cute headphonies to inject some animation into your audio.

 

Is it just me, or do the Headphonies sound like they should have their own kiddy TV show on Saturday mornings? No, just me then? OK. Well, they’re not a set of crazy looking critters designed to bring joy to littler kids while their parents cash in their lie-ins, they’re actually some kind of moshi monster/mimbot mashup with portable audio playing capabilities. Because the release of portable speakers are so frequent, the creator’s of these cartoon-esque speakers thought they’d bring something different to the table. So if you like to step out the boring and ordinary box, you may want to step into a world where toys and portable speakers collide.

 

The range consists of five figures, all created by several artists (that I won’t mention as you probably won’t have heard of them) as well as two blank canvas models that you can adorn yourself. You will then be free to plug your little friend into you MP3 player, iPod, phone or CD player and your smartphones too, for around four hours of playback on a full charge.

 

They’re cute and useful, I would love to have these cute little speakers  accompany anywhere.

Cell phone lightTorchlight is nice, and useful in darkness. As we always carry our cellphones and some of us may consider the screen of a cellphone isn’t bright enough as a light in the darkness, so why not use a little torchlight that is attached to your cellphone? This will be fun, and the nocturnal searching is much easier.

 

Why you would want to attach a mini flashlight to the back of your phone or PDA is lost to me. After all, couldn’t you just use the light from your screen? I suppose if you had a fairly old phone or do a lot of nocturnal searching, it may come in handy. And let’s not even go into why you’re doing a lot of nocturnal searching. It will lead us to only bad places.

 

On the up-side, it is only $4.95, so hardly bank breaking. And in more marvellous news, it’s available in black or silver. Which is perfect… as long as you have a black or silver phone.

 

Hopefully you’ll like the little thing.

Inflatable Cell Phone HoldersTime for cute cellphone accessories! When at home we do not want to hold our phones in our hands, so then you’ll need a nice cellphone holder. Honestly I’ve got plenty of cute cellphone holders at home already, but somehow I still lack of one nice cellphone holder. Hah…I guess that’s how I got little gadgets everywhere in my apartment.

 

Anyway, let’s see this inflatable cellphone holders which will keep your mobile cushy.

 

You know those sets of inflatable furniture that became popular at the end of the 90s? Well they’re back again, but not quite the way you’re imagining it. This time you can rest your cell phone in mini-sized Inflatable Flower Cell Phone Holders. This is one cell phone accessory that is super ridiculous, but we want one anyway. They are currently sold out but it looks like you can still pick them up on ebay for just $2.25.

 

Well, I really love these little cuties for they’re so adorable, and also for the price is really reasonable. So how do you feel?

Wrapsol Ultra

As long as we know big screen smartphones, they always need some protectors to give protection to the frisk screen, so we’re always looking for a nice cellphone skin or cover. So many we’ve tried out, some were good, and some were terrible, but none’s perfect, so we’ll just have to keep looking I guess.

 

Well, here’s a new one I’ve found recently, and you might want to have a look at.

 

It’s not everyday that I see someone purposely throw their iPhone across a room. But that is just what the folks from Wrapsol did when they introduced me to their Wrapsol Ultra for the iPhone. I’ll admit, I was a bit skeptical when I first heard about Wrapsol. I assumed it was just another one of those stereotypical see-through films that help protect your device from scratches. But Wrapsol is a step ahead of those other “skins”.

 

For starters, unlike many other shields/skins out there, Wrapsol is super easy to apply – it can even be reapplied more than once. Unlike many of the other products which require moisture to apply, Wrapsol doesn’t. Many of these sorts of products also leave you with annoying air bubbles that you end up stuck with for the life of the product or until you rip the film off your device. But not Wrapsol – after you’ve applied the skin, within a day or so all those irritating air bubbles disappear. I didn’t believe it at first, just because I’ve tested out so many products that do leave air bubbles behind. But it has been nearly 11 hours since my Wrapsol Ultra was applied to my iPhone 3GS, and the bubbles that were there at 2pm are now gone. Once applied, Wrapsol feels more like a super tight fitting see-through skin than a one-use only plastic shield.

 

Now if you’re wondering what happened to the poor iPhone that was brutally thrown to the floor? It survived. Wrapsol’s Ultra Drop manages not only to protect your gadget from scratches, but it also provides shock absorption for from falls and knocks.

 

Wrapsol scratch-proof film protects the whole of a device, from front to back. It also helps to enhance grip. It is available for many popular devices, but unfortunately Wrapsol Ultra is only available for smaller sized gadgets like the Droid, and iPhone, but not the iPad. Wrapsol Ultra Drop retails for $29.95 for the iPhone and Wrapsol Original for the iPhone retails for $24.95. Each package comes with a microfiber towelette, a squeegee, instructions – and a lifetime warranty And for every Wrapsol product purchased, Wrapsol makes a donation to Cool Earth to help preserve our rain-forests.

 

So far, the Wrapsol Ultra works just fine, and I like it. This is a really good ’skin’ for your device, and also by purchasing this you can do good to not only your phone but also the earth, so how wonderful! I’m not saying this is perfect, but it definitely worth a try.
