How Do You Connect The Sennheiser Momentum 3 To Your Mobile?

You can connect the Sennheiser via NFC or the standard Bluetooth pairing process (Bluetooth 5.0). If you are willing to follow the NFC route, you have to enable the NFC by going to the mobile's settings. After that, your job is to hold your device beside the right ear cup of the mobile. Then, you can see a pop-up appearing on the device confirming a successful pairing procedure.

As soon as you connect, you will get the advantages of three great Bluetooth codecs: AAC, aptX, and aptX Low-Latency. However, the AAC's performance is a bit doubtful on Android phones. But it can stream on iPhones repeatedly, and Android users can use their favorite tunes over the aptX codec. If you are willing to have the best possible audio quality, you need to go with the included 3.5mm cable.

But you will not have an integrated mic and remote module from the device. In addition, you can enjoy third-party cables for around $12, and these offer an in-line mic and remote which support iOS devices.

Logitech G435 Ultra-light Wireless Bluetooth Gaming Headset

Logitech G435 Ultra-light Wireless Bluetooth Gaming Headset

Logitech G435 is an excellent newly launched gaming headset that is a wireless plus with an attractive price.

There are so many headsets there but finding the lightweight one is a crucial task. But this one is the lightest handset as it claims. It is about 165 grams.

Logitech's previous gaming headsets are good but a bit expensive. This latest one is too cheap to be good. And I assure you you won't find any other brand headset at such a reasonable price. It is available in three distinct colors: neon yellow and black, white and lilac, blue and raspberry.

Here we will review a new Logitech gaming headphone, including its design, features, pros, cons, etc. For a full review, read the article till the end.

Let's get started!

Logitech G435 Design & Features

It has a modern-looking attractive design. Talking about its features then it includes:

  • It has soft memory foam cups, 
  • Lightest frame 
  • Adjustable ear cups 
  • Offers low latency connection via USB dongle 
  • You can also connect the headset via Bluetooth to your device

Its external function includes a power button, mute/unmute button, volume toggle, and USB-C charging port on the left ear cup. Material wise its quality feels cheap as its parts are of thin plastic.

Amazing fact, it is an environmentally friendly product having zero carbon impact.

Sound

It has a dual beamforming mic instead of a removable mic. It has a 40mm driver, which permits for solid high and low. And it's internal mic has the fantastic feature of detecting the wearer's voice and reducing background noise. But yes, we miss boom mic; it lacks here. And overall, sound quality lacks in its "fullness," but what else do we expect in this price range.

Performance

Performance-wise it's pretty decent, and I liked its company. In terms of sound quality, it's fantastic. But sometimes surrounding noise interrupts; otherwise, playing in the quiet environment it's fun to use and gives a better experience. It also sends alerts when we do mute or unmute. It offers an excellent and long-lasting charging capacity. 


 

On one charge, I got approximately 17-18 hrs of play as it claims of about 18 hrs play. The thing which impressed me was its wireless range. I don't lose a connection even from the third floor. Comfort-wise its ear cups are smooth and soft but facing problems in adjustability.

Overall, it's a decent product that is not going to disappoint at all. And one can consider this set from the wireless department.

Pros:

  • Supports Bluetooth connection 
  • Lightweight 
  • Suitable for long sessions of gaming 
  • Budget-friendly 
  • Modern design

Cons:

  • Quality is not up to the mark 
  • The boom mic is missing 
  • Sound quality can be improve

Conclusion:

Considering Logitech GS435 features like lightweight, comfort, Bluetooth connection makes it good enough to buy it. But it is limited in providing comfort while wearing, sound, etc. I would suggest it will be better to go for a wired headphone instead of this wireless set at this price. But this headset is sufficient for gaming. It's totally up to your choice. Overall, it's a decent product, and we can expect some missing features as of its reduced price.

Secondly Beats has worked efficiently non the inline remote and microphones present in both the buds which are able to pick up calls and can communicate with smartphone’s AI with ease and grace.

Most of the users find it difficult to pair their wireless headphones with Apple devices. In order to overcome this issue Beats has include the W1 chip which allows users to pair with Apple devices in an instant without much hassle.

Beats products are known for bigs and lows and so is true for Powerbeats3 and it doesn’t mean that the sound output is awful rather it has the Beats touch in it.

Ease of use and simple design coupled with amazing sound quality

It brings the one-of a kind true sound isolation feature which drown all the sound you in a remarkable fashion. The only downside found in this Powerbeats3 wireless gadget is that it charges with MicroUSB when whole the world has moved onto USB-C and Lightning ports.

Mono-Live Gadget Review:Skybuds Wireless Earbuds

SkyBuds
Skybuds is the new wireless earbuds and is made by and marketed by the Alpha Audiotronics Company. The new Skybuds is very unique in design and the music quality is awesome compared with its competitors. The Skybuds earbuds is shipped with a carrying case which is quite big and very bulky to carry it everywhere.

This carrying case can be fitted at the back of your phone and it doesn’t fall of and this case is used for charging the Skybuds earbuds. This carrying case comes as the first disadvantage of the earbuds as this is fitted in the back of the phone and thus making the phone too bulky to be carried and this puts a question mark on whether Skybud is a pocket friendly earbud.

The pricing of the products is fixed at $250 which is really an high price, whereas you can get some more featured or an premium earbuds like Apple or Bragi under $200. Now let’s talk about the sound quality, if you are wearing a wireless earbud what would you feel and what are the features it has! This skybuds is very comfortable when wearing it at first but it feels very uncomfortable while wearing in a long stretch.

The sound quality is quite good compared to its competitors products in the same price range they have a good bass and has a smooth way inside our ears and this earphones does not sound flat. This skybud creates clear and awesome songs and the bass in songs is quite good. The skybud does digital processing which is done by the small sized earbuds which is responsible for giving high quality song and gives us a good feel when hearing an song if you do not want this feature you can turn it off in the Skybuds app and turning this feature off can increase its charge by one hour more.

When the wireless earbuds were introduced the main was to make an active connection between the device and the earbuds and thus pushing the sound quality to the last. Well now we have come a long way of connecting two or more devices and keeping the connection active thus now the sound quality is very important for us now.

The Skybuds is made up entirely plastic type material but it still looks quite simple shiny and smooth in hands and it does not fall of easily. The slim and sleek design is an plus point for this earbuds which is comfortable while wearing and its design prevents it from falling of quickly.

PROS: 

  1.  This Skybuds earphone has excellent sound 
  2.  Though the charging case is big still its quite good for the earbuds. 
  3.  This Skybuds earphone is very light because of its built quality. 
  4.  Overall the earbud is good and still it has to improve its battery life. 

CONS: 


  1.  The Bluetooth drops out quite often and disconnects and interrupts your audio. 
  2.  The Skybuds earbuds is very uncomfortable while wearing for a long stretch of time. 
  3.  The built quality is cheap although it looks like a premium earbud. 
  4.  Price of the earbud is very expensive compared to its competitors.

Their interest is also to be connected to all types of readers or audio-video equipment, even if they do not have Wifi, through a small box "bridge" to connect the audio output a Smartphone, a MP3 player, radio, TV, etc..
