[Review] DUNU Titan 1 In-ear Earphones Review





Introduction
Looking for a better earphones for your music player? Look no further, check out DUNU Titan 1 that I have now. It is an in-ear monitor that utilizes the top of the line dynamic transducer with nano class titanium diaphragm which has great sonic clarity and transparency. It is also able to handle high power without distortion and evenly spreads the energy across its surface. And comes with various designs eartips for maximum isolation and comfort. Okay, let’s find out its performance…

Specifications
  • Driver: 13mm Titanium Diaphragm Dynamic Driver

  • Frequency Response: 20Hz – 30kHz

  • Sound Pressure Level: 90 +/- 2dB

  • Impedance:16Ω

  • Plug Size: 3.5mm Gold-Plated

  • Cord Length: 1.2m

  • Weight: 18g

  • Warranty: 1 Year






Package Content
Wow… There are lot of stuffs in the nice looking package. Yup, DUNU Titan 1 earphones is there. And 9 pairs of special designed ear-tips (S/M/L) to suite your need from secure seal for maximum bass to lesser one to change the sound signature taste. A hard sturdy case with locking mechanism to safe keep the earphones and ease carrying around. Gold plated 3.5mm to 6.3mm audio adapter is there too to connect to your home Hi-Fi system. A shirt clip for keeping the cable still and reduce microphonic noise while walking. Finally, a warranty card comes along too.





Design & Build Quality
DUNU Titan 1 is just like a tank. Yes, the build quality is supreme thanks to polished metal body. So no worry about its durability. Besides, it is also look nice with red and blue rings that can be used to determine left and right channel too. The cables between body and Y-splitter are covered with smooth rubber. And the rest of the cable until to 90° angled plug is braided to prevent tangling. The cable cinch can fit right into the Y-splitter when not in use. Hey, there is a handy rubber cable tie to well keep Titan 1 too. Nice one. By the way, there are 11 vent holes near nozzle at the earpiece body and another tiny one at the back near cable to provide open and wide soundstage.



Fit, Comfort & Isolation
DUNU Titan 1 is designed to be worn cable down. They fit perfectly on my ears and won’t fell off even not wearing over the ear style. And pleasant to wear for long hours. Yup, no problem to finish watching a movie here. As for isolation, it is an in-ear earphones that perform not so well here due to the vent holes. It can be an advantage and disadvantage depending what is your need. Personally, I prefer this as a family man who need to look after a 3 years old at home. And I don’t want to be totally blocked out by surrounding sound.





Sound Quality
Wow… You don’t need to be an audiophile to discover the greatness of DUNU Titan 1. Your existing smartphone and tablet’s audio quality no matter iPhone, iPad or Android devices will automatically level up. Clean, clear, rich in detail and clarity are what you will get. Yes, the experience is just like switch from watching DVD video to HD quality footage. You will realize how much details you lost from using earphones that bundled along with smartphone. Yes, Titan 1 will greatly improve the audio quality on streaming, music, games and movies. No need lossless HD tracks to enjoy it (of course, they sound even better then).

Personally, I love to listen MV from YouTube. A fan of Japanese anime. Love to listen to POP, R&B and country genre songs. Girls’ Generation music videos are one of my loves. Titan 1 manages to get their voices in Lion Heart MV sound so sweet and clear. And feel the beats in Party MV. Crisp and bright are what you will get from Taylor Swift’s songs like Tim McGraw, Mean and 22. Enjoy clarity of the guitar and natural vocal. And feel the deep and powerful bass yet in control pumping on Michael Jackson’s Billie Jean, Beat It and Black or White. All the instruments and vocal can be hear clearly even in the complex scene.

Advantages
  • Crystal clear, detail & balanced sound

  • Deep powerful bass

  • Spacious soundstage

  • Excellent build quality

  • Comfortable for long hour wear

  • Great accessories

  • Average isolation (for me)


Limitations
  • Microphonic (reduced with shirt clip)

  • Average isolation




Conclusion
DUNU Titan 1 has excellent sound, wide and spacious soundstage. High level of detail, incredible resolution and clarity. And don’t forget the powerful bass. Want to level up your mobile devices’ sound quality? Titan 1 is the one for you. Do visit DUNU website for more information and buy yours here.

Lg G3 Hyperion 6000mAh extended battery review



Hyperion 6000mAh Extended Battery
I got this last week and till now it been great! starting to love my lg g3 on a whole new level. :D
My old stock battery with all my tweaks used to last for 4-5hrs screen on time.
I havent drained this completely but i believe this would go for between 11-12hrs sot
Its not properly calibrated and if i charge it even after its 100% charged it stays on 100% for an hour of sot after unplugging and then drops 10% per hour of sot.
My usage includes only internet usage like browsing and facebook, offline tv shows and music and occasional real racing 3 now. Both wifi and 3g. so basically battery consuming stuff.
Will have to wait for it to be calibrated properly to get exact numbers but im still looking at atleast 10hrs sot and thats good enough for me. Lasts more than a day.
see attachment for bbs screenshots. Will also have to wait a few weeks to confirm if this performance stays on.

Review of 3 cases



I've now tried 3 cases purchased from Amazon, all good in their own way.

Terrapin TPU gel case £5.25. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...ilpage_o02_s00

(I got the smoke black, which doesn't seem to be there anymore).

Good fit, cutouts work although if I was being picky I'd say they maybe are a tiny bit off center. The volume and camera keys are covered with buttons on the case that work but could be easier to use. The power button feels a bit deep in the shell, due to the 2mm or so thickness of gel. Seems to offer very good protection, best of the 3. Case comes slightly above the screen, so protecting it if you lay it face down. Adds moderate bulk to the phone.

Roxfit Titanium shell £10.09. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...ilpage_o01_s00

Bit misnamed, it's plastic with what looks like a metal insert in the back. Very good fit (in fact difficult to get the phone back out). It exposes a lot more more of the sides of the phone (all of the top, bottom, and the buttons area on the right) than the Terrapin, but still gives very good protection and makes use of the buttons easier. Corners are well protected and the case comes up over the screen, protecting it if you lay it face down. It feels pretty sturdy overall. It looks premium from the back with the gold insert, although the plastic around it maybe less so. Thinner round the sides than the Terrapin but bulkier at the back.

Easydigital hard back £2! http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...ilpage_o00_s00

The cheapest of the 3, and although you can tell it's actually pretty good. Very light and thin, adds the least bulk to the phone. It's the hard plastic type of case as opposed to the gel Terrapin. It's completely clear and because it's so thin, it actually looks better on the phone than the others (in my opinion) as the phone basically looks as it normally does. The top and bottom are exposed as on the Roxfit, there are cutouts for the buttons on the right, as the case is so thin this doesn't affect their use. One point to note - if you use the cord attachment hole on the left of the phone, you can't use this case as it doesn't have a cutout for it. It offers the least protection, the corners are just covered and it only just comes above the screen. At the moment I have a plastic protector, but when the tempered glass one turns up this will probably be proud of the case. The fit is about 99% - the phone moves a tiny fraction within the case, which I'm sure could be solved with a tiny sliver of rubber in there - although to be honest I'm being very picky and it's not really a problem to live with it.

Note - none of the cases have a cutout for the sim/micro sd cover, not an issue for me.

I'm currently using the easydigital, I'll see how it works when the glass screen cover turns up.

MXIII-G TV Box Review



The MXIII-G TV Box is an updated version of this device. It has a Amlogic S812 Quad Core processor with the Octa Core ARM Mali-450 graphics engine. The 2GB of RAM are more than sufficient for most tasks. The only downside is the 8GB of internal storage, however it does take a SD Card so you can increase it's storage. It performs very well for it's price range.
The exterior looks quite appealing and it makes a good addition to any TV. There is an HDMI output, 2 USB ports, on OTG port, Optical audio, AV Port and an Ethernet port. It does have wifi and Bluetooth as well.
On the front of the box there is an power on,power off button, that has an LED that turns red or blue.
This box is running Android 5.1.1 and it does run very smooth while watching any movies or doing any task. It comes pre-installed with Netflix, Youtube, Kodi, MX Player and the Play Store.
The one thing i don't like about it is the remote. This box is much easier to use with a mouse. Trying to use the remote is very difficult and makes everything take way too long.
Overall a very decent TV Box for around USD.
There was a cad import fee that had to be paid to DHL (To Canada)

What's Under the Hood:




The Zidoo X6 Pro Does get a little warm and I guess some fine tuning from the team at Zidoo will look into this. If it gives you problems then a Laptop cooler is a quick fix.

Review: Poetic Affinity case



Full disclosure: I was given this case for free, the vendor is seeking reviews. But, as I've said before, I will give an honest review of a free product regardless. People's feelings be darned.

Product arrived in a timely manner. Packaging was plain, I'm assuming it was non-retail. There were no markings or branding of any kind. No instructions, either. Not that they were really needed I guess, but I would assume that a retail purchase would be packaged, and not arrive in a plain padded envelope.

The case by itself looks, well, clear. Mine is clear with opaque rubber (TPU, Poetic calls it). I guess a model with black TPU is available. I don't want to sound like I'm bashing the case, because I'm not, but it is kind of unremarkable to look at. And I don't think that's a bad thing. After all, this case is designed to show off the phone, not just to show off. And that is apparent when it's actually on the phone. It hugs the shape of the device and doesn't compete for your attention.

The case is made of rigid plastic. Normally, I'm not a huge fan of hard cases, as I feel they can be rough on phones. But, the note 5 has an aluminum frame instead of the Standard issue Samsung chromed plastic. And there is clearish rubber around the frame as well as the lip that goes over the screen. It is along the sides as well. That made me feel better about it being a rigid plastic.

The case is one piece that pops in firmly but easily enough. Let me tell you, this baby is snug! And I mean that in a good way. Takes a little doing to get it out once it's in (again, I hope the retail packaging has instructions, in case there's some "trick" to it). But this thing really hugs the phone tightly. Solid fit. There is a very thin lip over and around the merest edge of the screen which holds the case on. It's a pretty impressive design, because the case basically clips onto the aluminum frame, leaving the entirety of the screen exposed. But there is no fear of the phone popping out of this case.

There is a slight lip that keeps the screem from coming in contact with the table when placed face down. A slight lip, but it is there, even with a glass screen protector on my phone.

It's made of clear polycarbonate with a clearish TPU on the corners, around the screen and in two raised rails running the long way down the back. It is comfortable in the hand, allowing the holder to feel the contours of the phone without adding bulk.

Along the sides, there are upraised ridges for grip. Which is good, because the smooth polycarbonate could feel a bit slippy if not for the TPU rails on the back, rubber around the lip of the case and ridges on the sides. This case has a good, reasonably grippy feel. Those who do not like the feel of smooth plastic against their palm may not dig it, but it feels pretty good to me. .

The buttons are perfectly lined up, and very very clicky. One cool thing about the volume buttons: instead of being one big rocker style button for VOL up/down (many cases "join" the two buttons), the Poetic Affinity case keeps them separated just as the phone was designed. It looks sharp and deliberate, and provides some useful tactile feedback.

The TPU around the frame and the rails along the back ensure that your phone will stay put wherever you set it, which is nice.

The ports are almost all lined up perfectly (more on that in a sec). The SPen port seems wide open, which is pretty common for cases of this type. The bottom speaker, instead of being a cutout, is 8 holes drilled or molded or whatever into the case. They don't really line up with the actual speaker holes (at least in mine). But I have tried with and without the case, and I cannot tell any difference in the sound, so it doesn't seem to be a big deal. It isn't to me, anyway. But it will be to someone, which is really the only reason I mention it.

The clear polycarbonate gets smudged up with fingerprints in no time, I wipe mine prerry frequently.

The combination of polycarbonate and strategically placed TPU seems pretty sturdy. I feel like my phone is adequately protected against day to day hazards. The case feels solid, complete and protective. The placement of the TPU seems designed to protect well against average corner drops or flat drops onto the front or back.

In conclusion, if you want a phone case that protects you from everyday hazards, and showcases as it encases, this is a good one to comsider. It is not at all expensive, and seems to offer protection that is definitely a cut above most "budget" cases I have seen. I have mentioned a couple of things that may give some people misgivings about this product (smooth plastic back, misaligned speaker holes), but for me neither of these things is a deal breaker, or even a significant concern. Your mileage may vary, etc. I like this case quite a bit.

My review for the Artech 21 Slim Stylish case



I got my case in the mail about two weeks ago. Full disclosure: I recieved it as a free promo, on the condition that I review it. I am not the type to give a positive review to a product I don't care for, as this post shows: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...5&postcount=73

OK, here we go. Case looks good. Not a big fan of gold, but it's not really that important to me. I get why others are saying that the plastic is kind of cheap looking and has a visible seam. But that's only when inspected really closely. From a normal, reasonable distance (like that of everyday use), it looks just fine. I even got a couple of compliments on the case today, and I wasn't even showing it to anyone, juat taking it out of or putting it back into my pocket. It has a very modern, almost high-tech look that is admittedly somewhat cheapened by the gold plastic, but that is quickly gotten over. The rubber back has a nice ridged texture, which feels pleasant and grippy in the hand.

It's kind of hard to talk about function or form independent from each other with this case. It seems like a lot of thought went into both aspects during design, as well as how they could compliment each other. For example, the case is slim and adds no appreciable bulk. It also has curved sides that hug the contours of the phone better than my Otterbox Commuter did. I like the Commuter a lot, but between the non-slippery ridged rubber back, the curved edges and the overall thinness of the Artech, it just feels better in the hand. Its more comfortable to hold and I feel like I have a better grip on it. The slim profile of the case makes it very comfortable in a pocket as well.

The phone pops into the case in a single piece. It went in easily, but there are instructions in case you need them. I was a little worried that it might pop out as easily as it popped in. But after slamming the phone hard against my palm several times, it didn't budge. Even when I cupped my palm in an effort to put more stress on the side of the case to purposely get it to pop out. It has a nice, snug fit. There is a nice raised lip around the screen, even with a tempered glass screen protector.

As another poster noted, there is a nice bezel next to the heart rate monitor on the back of the phone that makes it easy to reach. But overall, the camera hole is smaller than my other case. So I feel that the Artech offers better camera protection without interfering with function. This same type of design is noticeable below the home button, where the lip of the case flattens out for more comfortable access. It is obvious that some thought went into this design.

Despite the back being ridged rubber that hugs the palm, the fact that there are a couple of ever so slightly raised plastic parts on the back means that this effect is, regrettably not useful on a table or other flat surface. It feels a little like a missed opportunity, but not a deal breaker.

The buttons and all of the holes for the various ports line up perfectly. The battery and headphone jacks are exposed, which I don't necessarily like, but can live with. There is a rather large opening for the s pen, but flat surfaces will touch both sides of the case without coming into contact with that part of the device. Further proof that there is a deliberate and thoughtful design here.

The rubber on the back and on the inside of the case seems kind of thin, but is a bit nore rigid than my other case. The power and volume buttons are responsive and soft. They are not very "clicky", of that kind of thing is important to you. It is not important to me, and I like the feel of these buttons.

A good 3/4 of the back is the aforementioned ridged rubber. I'm not sure how much protection it would really offer in the event of a decent drop. Again, I am conparing it to the Otterbox Commuter, which has a plastic over rubber back. One way to find out, which I don't plan on trying anytime soon. But it seems solid enough. There is some ridged pattern on the inside of the case, but I don't know if that is decorative or not. It's not symmetrical, so I think it probably is. In any event, the slightly raised plastic bits on the back look like they would prevent the back of the phone from actually coming into contact with the ground (covered in rubber or no) as the result of a flat drop. But that is just speculation on my part.

In conclusion, i would say that this is a very nice case, a few minor quibbles aside. It's got a nice blend of form and function not often seen in phone cases. It looks and feels good, and the functionality is excellent in my opinion.

For the asking price (I got it free, but you know what I mean), it is definitely nice. I only buy Otterboxes because I get them at a significant discount which puts them in the same price range as the Artech. So if I had to buy one or the other of these, it would be hard to choose (unless the Commuter was full price, in which case it would be Artech hands down because it is a good case and also I'm a tightwad). The Artech looks and especially feels way better, is easier to hold securely, and very comfortable. As far as protection, both seem comparable, but I would give a slight to moderate edge to the Otterbox commuter because of the covered ports and plastic over rubber back. But, make no mistake: the Artech Slim Stylish case seems to offer good, solid phone protection. And I'm in no hurry to go back to my other case. I'm gonna go ahead and use this one for a while.

I would definitely recommend this case to anyone looking for a sleek, yet protective case that feels good to hold.

This is an updated version of a post I made in someone else's thread about this same case. I wanted to make it its own thread and add pictures. After two weeks, my feelings about the case are the same as when I first got it. All in all, I am very satisfied with this case.

dbrand Skins for the LG G4 - Review and installation



dbrand was kind enough to ship me some skins for review for both the LG G4 and LG G3.
I figured I would post the reviews here on XDA to help the most people I could, here goes.

For the LG G4 I have the Black Carbon Fiber skin with accents and the White Carbon Fiber skin with accents.

For the LG G3 I have the Mahogany Skin with accents, and the Zebra Wood Skin with accents.

The skins arrived in simple plastic sleeves with a dbrand insert and the skin itself.
Once you open these the first thing you will notice is the skins have a texture.
The carbon fiber really looks and feels like carbon fiber.
You can actually feel the wood grain in both the wood skins.
The printing on these skins is second to none, they all look realistic.
The cutouts on the speaker grill, camera, and sensors are perfect.

The application of this skin is the easiest yet.
All you have to do is place the button and camera covers (accents) on.
Then just use the 3M paper to keep the entire skin from sticking as you align the camera cutouts.
Realign the paper sideways and align the speaker cutout.
Remove the paper completely.
Finally use a hair dryer or heat gun to heat up the edges and press them into place.
I used a heat gun on the lowest setting, a hair dryer may take slightly longer.

Just in case you do not believe how easy the install is, I have made a video of me installing one.
Remember I have no extra experience doing this, it is this easy.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQFY...ature=youtu.be

Once installed you will really see how perfect dbrand made these skins.
Every cutout and edge will be exactly where it should be.
There are no overlapped places or short edges.

I have used both Skickwraps and dbrand and in my opinion dbrand has done a much better job with their skins.
If anyone is considering skins, dbrand is the way to go.

At .95 for just the back and accents and .95 for the back, accents, and front, these are a great price.
https://dbrand.com/shop/lg-g4


I hope this review will help someone.
Please ask any questions you want, I will try and answer if I can.

P.S. my favorite is the White Carbon Fiber back with the Black Carbon Fiber accents.

dbrand Skins for the LG G3 - Review and Installation



dbrand was kind enough to ship me some skins for review for both the LG G4 and LG G3.
I figured I would post the reviews here on XDA to help the most people I could, here goes.

For the LG G4 I have the Black Carbon Fiber skin with accents and the White Carbon Fiber skin with accents.

For the LG G3 I have the Mahogany Skin with accents, and the Zebra Wood Skin with accents.

The skins arrived in simple plastic sleeves with a dbrand insert and the skin itself.
Once you open these the first thing you will notice is the skins have a texture.
The carbon fiber really looks and feels like carbon fiber.
You can actually feel the wood grain in both the wood skins.
The printing on these skins is second to none, they all look realistic.
The cutouts on the speaker grill, camera, and sensors are perfect.

The application of this skin is the easiest yet.
All you have to do is place the button and camera covers (accents) on.
Then just use the 3M paper to keep the entire skin from sticking as you align the camera cutouts.
Realign the paper sideways and align the speaker cutout.
Remove the paper completely.
Finally use a hair dryer or heat gun to heat up the edges and press them into place.
I used a heat gun on the lowest setting, a hair dryer may take slightly longer.

Just in case you do not believe how easy the install is, I have made a video of me installing one.
Remember I have no extra experience doing this, it is this easy.

Once installed you will really see how perfect dbrand made these skins.
Every cutout and edge will be exactly where it should be.
There are no overlapped places or short edges.

I have used both Skickwraps and dbrand and in my opinion dbrand has done a much better job with their skins.
If anyone is considering skins, dbrand is the way to go.

At .95 for just the back and accents and .95 for the back, accents, and front, these are a great price.

I hope this review will help someone.
Please ask any questions you want, I will try and answer if I can.

P.S. my favorite is the White Carbon Fiber back with the Black Carbon Fiber accents.

[REVIEW] HTC One M9 Unicorn Beetle Pro by Supcase



I was looking for a good case for my M9 on eBay, I found these for +. I bought mine on Amazon for w/ shipping and got it in two days.

Complete case with full protection, hard rubber exterior, included belt clip holster. Comes in five different colors, I chose black. Integrated screen protector, tabs covering USB and headset ports, open access for camera, flash, and IR blaster. Two part construction, phone goes in front piece and both go into back piece which "hugs" the front and wraps around.

I've been using it for two days now, and I really like it.

Two complaints:
The screen protector is not a matte finish, so it reflects sunlight using it in the car. It would probably be pretty easy to remove with a little force, or cut out with a pen knife, if you wanted to use a matte screen protector instead (or if the built-in one starts showing its age).

The provided belt clip holster holds the phone well, but depending on how you insert it may cause accidental presses of the side power button, waking the screen. This isn't an issue if you're a pocket carrier and forego the holster entirely, as I figure a lot of people would get sick of taking it out and putting it back if you use the phone frequently.

I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a case. Sorry for no links but I'm new here and don't have 10 posts. Google search should find it on Amazon and company website with really good pics.



Blackview BV5000 review: 5000mAh Android 5.1 MTK6735 2GB Ram 16GB Rom



Today we would be taking on the technicalities and the specifications associated with Blackview’s recent flagship phone, the Blackview BV5000. Priced at approximately 0, the Blackview BV5000 is a reasonable device supplementing your requirements with almost decent specifications and functionalities.

As we got to lay our hands on the device, the 5.0 touch screen of the smart phone seemed really sleek and attractive. Blackview BV5000 runs latest Android 5.1 Lollipop platform, and has IP67 Waterproof as well as dustproof and shockproof. The device also has an IPS capacitive touch screen, MediaTek’s MTK6735P quad core processor clocked at 1.0 GHz, and Cortex A7. Moreover, it supports multiple networks including 2G, 3G and 4G, Bluetooth 4.0, dual cameras and the dual SIM card standby modes.

The rear end camera is of 8 Megapixels and contains a flash as well as the auto focus feature within. The front end camera on the other hand is rated 2 Megapixels which is just satisfactory for a device in this range. Moreover, you can interpolate the rear end camera to 16 Megapixels. The formats supported by the camera on this device are PNG, JPEG as well as GIF when it comes to the picture formats where as on the note of Video formats, H.253, 3GP, MP4 as well as H.264 formats are supported.

The Blackview BV5000 has a RAM of 2GB and a ROM of 16 GB. Also, you get the option to avail an external memory by using a TF card of storage up to 32 GB. The powerful Mali T720 GPU on the other hand facilitates your gaming experience by transcending its gaming performance to a whole other level. This 4G smart phone also comes unlocked as you buy it has a support for more than a dozen languages within its system. Some odd languages such as Persian, Kishwahili, Lativiesu, Magyar as well as many other languages are supported.

The 5 inch screen happens to be capacitive and the screen is comprises a one glass solution and is an IPS HD screen. The device has a standard SIM card as a Micro SIM card thus providing a dual standby mode to run on. GSM support is provided and the support for both, GPS as well as A-GPS too. Adding to these functionalities is the support for the 2G, 3G and the 4G networks as well. 802.11 b/g/n support for the wireless internet is exhibited by the Blackview BV5000. The support for WCDMA coupled with the support for FDD and LTE is also there. In entirety, the Blackview BV5000 is pretty much like the next smartphone out there satisfying all the basic needs, network-wise.

The battery on the Blackview BV5000 is powered 5000mAh which is probably the best not only among the devices in this very price range but among some higher end devices too. The rating on the battery stands at 4700mAh. However, the battery is non-removable.

On the side, the device has a standard SIM card slot as well as a MICRO USB slot. A 3.5 mm Audio jack port is also there along with a microphone plugin and a speaker. It is IP67 rated and contains ambient light as well as proximity sensors along with a gravity sensor. WAP, browsing facilities, Light Sensing as well as Sound recorders are some amongst the many other features which this device has.

Blackview BV5000 is truly a masterpiece in its almost-affordable price range of 9.99 at 1949deal store, and it lives up to all the expectations be it the hardware, the display, the network support, the camera or the battery support.

IceFox S1 Bluetooth speaker review



Hi Guys,

With the acquisition of a new computer, I've been rekindling my inner technical nerd of late. Accordingly, I wanted to complete a mini-review of a recent pair of waterproof speakers I bought:

The Icefox S1 Outdoor portable bluetooth and wireless speaker has powerful sounds and a built in microphone.
With an 1400 mAh battery, I've managed to use this outdoors over the long-weekend whilst camping and down at the beach without having to recharge or worry about battery life one bit.

Best of all, the sound quality isn't compromised at all; maintaining high clarity and bass even when exposed to underwater conditions. I haven't deliberately put it underwater at the risk of it not living up to it's manufacturing claims but I have incidentally exposed it to water and it sure as hell withstood being dropped into a swimming pool. To enhance portability and compatibility with other devices, a snap hook and 3.5mm audio jack are fitted which means you can attach this device to your backpack whilst connected to your phone or mp3.

Manufacturer warranty conditions 14-months for this device with a "free-exchange service". I don't think i'll ever need to use it but it's good to know.



Let me know your thoughts

The VOYO V2 now comes with windows 10 preinstalled & is fully activated, it runs nice im really starting to like windows 10

The looks of the VOYO V2 are very smart indeed also the performance matches the looks with its snapper windows interface & modern feel about it.



The boot time on the v2 is very fast at around 15 seconds to complete AWESOME love the fast boot on this thing & 3 seconds to shut down.

The VOYO V2 is powered by a quad-core Intel Atom Z3735F, the same chip found in the voyo v1, pipo x7,belink p1,Ainol ect ect.

I was expecting the SSD to be a micro SD card so i had to take it apart to see what iv got but no its a real SSD.A KingShare KH200064SSD, a 1.8 SATA II SSD with 64GB capacity (shows 58.2GB), a read speed of 150MB/s, and a write speed of 80MB/s according to specs iv seen





Internal photos

I would not recomend taking the voyo v2 apart as it has a glass top witch can be broken very easy so be warned.



The wifi antenna is not soldered its a propper connector





KingShare SSD when removed



The V2 has a metal body with a glass surface on top of it. Its quit slim with dimensions of 131 x 83 x 16 mm. It comes with a built-in 5000mAh Lithium battery & a 64GB SSD.

The v2 has WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, USB 2.0, HDMI, RJ-45 (1000mbs) and MicroUSB port.

Its a real shame it only has one full sized USB port as most people will need at least two so this is a big draw back for me,

Also it has no venterlation holes (Big mistake) i would of thought they had learned from the over heating problems of the v1 but no seems not..It does get rather warm using wifi & especialy playing games saying that it plays games like ashphalt 8 & beach buggy racing with ease.

My v2 has been on now for the past 8 days constantly streaming video from my ip cam's & its only been shut down to do some windows updates ect.
During all my testing iv not suffered from any unexpected shut downs or lock ups. everything seems to be running perfect touch wood.

Also kodi runs very well indeed i think the windows tv box's are much better with kodi than any android, it just seems to run so well no stuttering that iv noticed




