August 24, 2018August 25, 2018 root Bluetooth, Hearing Loss, MakeUseOf Giveaway, Product Reviews0 comment

Our verdict of the Audeara A-01 Bluetooth Headphones:
Buy it if you demand absolute audio accuracy and are over 30 years old810Sensorineural hearing loss afflicts around 20-million Americans. The $400 Audeara (pronounced as “AUD-EAR-AH”) A-01 headphones fine-tune audio to compensate for hearing loss. But does it work as advertised?
And for the same money, can you find a better headphone?
Read on to see what we think of these sound-enhancing Bluetooth headphones, and at the end of the review, we’ve got a pair to giveaway to one lucky reader.

My Experience With Hearing Loss and Testing Method Aside from being over 30-years old and suffering from normal age-related hearing loss, I “speak” basic sign language with my mother and know a little about cochlear implants, and how audiologists tune hearing aids. But that doesn’t make me an expert; I’m only familiar with hearing loss. And while I’ve reviewed many wearables, this is the first that has the ability to assist those with hearing lo..

Blackview BV5800 Pro: Rugged, Affordable, and Great Value For Money

August 16, 2018August 16, 2018 root Android, MakeUseOf Giveaway, Product Reviews, Rugged, Smartphone Repair0 comment

Our verdict of the Blackview BV5800 Pro:
Blackview's BV5800 Pro builds on their past successes, creating a rugged phone that is both durable and desirable at an incredibly affordable price. 810Modern electronics are quite fragile; none more so than your smartphone. The irony is that we tend to have our smartphone with us in all conditions—while working, outdoors exercising, or just out in the rain. These often expensive gadgets have a habit of breaking or getting damaged in any number of situations.
We buy screen protectors and pricey cases to protect them, but even they don’t always prevent the almost inevitable cracked screen. Could a rugged device like the Blackview BV5800 Pro be the answer, achieving a balance between performance and durability?

Yi Smartphone Gimbal: Silky Smooth Footage, But Could Be Better

August 14, 2018August 14, 2018 root MakeUseOf Giveaway, Product Reviews, Record Video, Smartphone Photography0 comment

Our verdict of the Yi Smartphone Gimbal:
Makes silky smooth smartphone video accessible to all, but the offering is a bit barebones with no case included. If you can find it on sale for under $100, it's a good entry point, but spend a little more and there are more feature packed devices on offer.710The quality of smartphone videography has exploded in recent years, with the latest handsets able to record 4K video, in HDR or 60 frames per second. Unfortunately, our pathetic shakey human hands haven’t improved at nearly the same pace. While smartphones make some attempt at stabilizing your footage in software, nothing beats a hardware gimbal.
Yi Technology–reknowned for their Yi4K+ GoPro killer and superb quality budget dash cams–have turned their attention to the gimbal market. Today we’re taking a look at the Yi 3-axis Smartphone Gimbal, available now. And at the end of this review, we’re giving one away to one lucky reader.
