If you go the gym regularly, chances are you’ve broken a fair few pair of headphones. So what are the best headphones for the gym? 

To be honest, prior to buying a pair of these I had zero expectations. I just wanted to block out the deafening sound of Kiss FM at my local gym; I wasn’t looking for Bose QC35 levels of performance.

The TaoTronics Bluetooth Earphones don’t offer anywhere close to Bose -levels of sound. How could they? They cost £20! But what they do is offer a simple, cost-effective solution for anyone that doesn’t want to ruin a decent pair of headphones in the gym.

And for £20, you do get quite a lot of bang for your book. I mean, just check out these cool features:

Built-in magnets let you attach the two headphones together when not using, and wear like a necklace around your neck, a convenient way to carry around when you don't need them
Comfortable in-ear design, snug and secure, make sure the headset stay put and your music stays smooth when you are running, cycling, exercising and doing other activities
CVC Noise Cancellation 6.0 technology reduces outside noises, enable clearer microphone sound when talking to your family or friends; you get high quality, hands-free phone conversation even on the street or inside shopping mall
Latest Bluetooth 4.1 technology; easy and fast pairing with smartphones, tablets and other Bluetooth enabled music devices; aptX codec provides pure, CD-like high quality sound for compatible devices.
Works with all smartphone, tablets and other Bluetooth music player. Up to 5 hours of continuous talking / music time and up to 175 hours of standby with a single charge, so you have less time charging and more time doing. Pls. note: Customers should know they need to use a 5V adapter which means the charging output shall be 5V to enable the headphones' normal operation.
As I said, these are not going to compete with a £100 to £300 pair of headphones. They won’t even come close.

Hey, Guys, I wish you liked my last post About google hidden tricks so, I have come today with some new features about Google search you not knew and it will give you the specific search you need. it will rectify best for finding the best alternatives or best choice what you are looking for.

So if you like to search privately you can go to Startpage it will not store your search data and can search without getting tracked your IP address. Also, its enhanced by Google so no risk of any threats or hacks.

2. Use " (quotes) for specific searches:-
As you usually search for any keyword you will go for word, at that time google do smart work it will try to render that word also and give different categorized search options. so if you want to go for the specific thing you need to search then try it with quotes so search results can be improved.

3. Search By location Or Area Wise:-
As you often go for a search to the particular thing you will find that it will show non-region search much time. like you searching from Gujarat and shows another state search. so for the better result, you can try to choose the location first to get accurate results.

4. Use search keywords or operators while searching:-
As you go for google search there are some tricks like you can use some google search operators like and, or, asterisk(*) sign to differentiate your search options.

Use OR in search while you not sure for 1 particular thing then Google will show according to best alternatives.
Use * Asterisk sign when you just knew a little about you searching. Like you searching for movie name and forget the whole name then you will try it with the asterisk that will find the best specific search you need.

5. Search With -(Minus) Sign:-
As you tried all search but not knew ever you searched for. minus(-) in the search bar is used to eliminate the Specific part of the search. Like if you made search " buy a laptop under 20,000 -dell " then the search results show the different laptops but dell is eliminated in the search. So you won't find any product regarding the dell Products. so by this way, you can improve your search, And find some specific things in less time.

6. Search For Similar website:-
As you often search for particular movie or any other stuff sometimes you need an alternate website if you don't like that stuff. So here is trick search with like "related: facebook.com" so you will find the best alternative or similar website you searching for.

7. Find Specific files:-
As you need some particular extensions of the file for your work go directly with the ppt, pdf, docx, excel, etc. So it will redirect you to the best search option.

Different terms are used to search for specific particular like. If you search for "Allintitle: Indian space organization" it will search for all the word from the title. You can also search with "intext: your search" to search for specific Word phrase. also, you can use "inurl: your search" to get the similar URL or websites.

As this all search options saves your time in searching specific particular and useful for fast searches. so you must learn it and try it.

The largest search engine company, Google is now in a full Desi mode. Google has announced that it will be providing the Google Assistant in Hindi. The latest Google Assistant update will be available for version 6.0(Marshmallow) and above. Also, it will soon be available for Android 5.0(Lollipop), Android Oreo and iPhone as well. In 2017, Google launched the Assistant in Hindi the instant-messaging platform Allo.



Google Assistance was basically made to assist you in your daily life like it tells you about the day, show the fastest route to reach your destination, set your alarm, etc.



Giving Statement on this, Purvi Shah, Technical Program Manager, Assistant said that The Google Assistant is truly Indian, it's your helpful dost that speaks our language and understands the things to care about, from finding biryani recipes to lastest cricket score, or finding directions to the nearest ATM. In order to make it even more useful to Indians over time, developers and businesses can now build actions for the Hindi Assistant through the developer platform Actions on Google. Once an action is built, you can just say "OK Google, talk to" and access the service or content straight through your Google Assistant.



To try the new Google Assistant user can update the Google search engine from play store and then go to the setting of Google search engine, and the language from English to Hindi.



Google's rival, iPhone smartphone producer Apple co. has also made an intelligent- Assistance, Siri. Which works on iPhone 4S and above models.

The endurance of Samsung’s 30TB SSD appears just as stellar. It’s got a five-year warranty, rated for one full drive write per day. That means you can replace all 30.72TB of data day-in and day-out for five years straight without expecting a catastrophic drive failure.

Now for the bad news: This monstrous solid-state drive isn’t destined for consumer PCs. The PM1643 is an enterprise drive through and through, kitted with a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) connection instead of a SATA port for business customers looking to shift away from mechanical hard drives. Prices haven’t been revealed, but expect the cost to match the gargantuan capacity. The 30TB SSD has already started manufacturing with a smaller storage options coming later this year.

Fingers crossed that super-sized SSDs trickle down to the masses sooner rather than later. In the meantime, check out PCWorld’s guide to the best SSDs for no-nonsense buying advice on the greatest consumer storage available, complete with information about what to look for in solid-state drives.

Remember last year, when “smart” ballet slippers pirouetted into our hearts (and headlines)? Well, now a high-tech pair of smart high-heels is strutting onto the wearable fashion scene and, Toto, we’re not in blandsville anymore.

They’re called Volvorii Timeless smart shoes and what’s so special about them is that they change color in the click of a smartphone app (iOS and Android versions to come). Hello, instant customization gratification. Not sure which heels to wear with that little black dress? Need to morph from business casual to nightclub slick, but no time to shift shoes? No stress. Leave it to the Internet of Stilettos.

Created by a seven-person Lithuanian startup called iShüu Tech, and originally the brainchild of display technology research scientist Wallen Mphepö, these high-tech pumps are digital chameleons for your fancy feet. They’re made of leather and rubber and outfitted with the hidden circuit board, Bluetooth, and battery components. And, here’s the kicker, they’re pimped out with electronic (e-ink) “paper” that you control with a companion app, altering the look of the flexible digital panel that spans from the top of the toes on up the sides of the pumps.
Depending on what your outfit calls for, or your mood, you can switch the Volvorii’s smart display panel from black to white to a chic Louis Vuitton-inspired black and white pattern. Its ambitious makers, who think they “just might be on the verge of creating a new micro industry for the world,” plan to add more cool pattern choices in the future.
and 4.5 inches. The battery that powers the display recharges via an included USB wireless charger and takes about two hours to fully juice from zero.

Just a few years ago, I vividly remember some of the free gifts being given away with some of the less-popular phones. Usually these would be in the back of newspapers, and you’d find some Nokia B7 Lite (I made up that name) on offer with a “free” TV. Sure, you’d spend quite a bit per month (and you’d end up with a phone you probably didn’t really want), but hey.. a TV!

Now the boys at Sky Mobile are rolling our a new offer for customers buying selected Xperia handsets. Get the handsets on Swap24 and Swap12 plans and you’ll get yourself a PlayStation 4 at no additional cost. Not only that, but they’ll also chuck in Gran Turismo Sport for you to play on your new gadget too! Oh, and if that isn’t enough, anyone purchasing an Xperia phone will also receive a Sky Store voucher, so you can watch a movie for free!

The Sony PlayStation and Xperia bundle is available on the Xperia XA2 and also includes the flagship XZ range of phones. That means you can get the XZ Premium, XZ1 and XZ1 Compact. Prices start from £25 a month for the Xperia XA2, which includes 500MB of data and Unlimited Calls & Texts for Sky TV customers on Swap24.

Swap – The Swap12 and Swap24 contracts let you upgrade your phone every 1 or two years respectively. No need to change contract!

Is Google Home Max better than Apple’s HomePod – apparently it is, according to this test

Where it gets more interesting, however, is when you consider the price of these devices: Google Home Max comes in at $399, compared to the HomePod’s $349 and the Sonos One’s $199 – so the cheapest is actually the best, followed by the second cheapest.

And Pogue’s test isn’t the only one that has placed Google Home Max and the SONOS One above the Apple HomePod. Consumer Reports recently filed a test which showed the same thing – Apple’s HomePod was not as well liked as the One and Home Max.

Plus, Google Home Max runs Google Assistant and, while it is not perfect, it is LEAGUES ahead of Siri in terms of features and abilities.

Interesting stuff, especially since Google Home Max is quite a bit cheaper than Apple’s HomePod. Ditto the Sonos One, which ships with Amazon Alexa.

Dressed for business, built for partying

In keeping with the minimalist aesthetic of products such as the Google Home Mini and Daydream View ($77.46 at Amazon.com), the Google Home Max demonstrates that twill is the new piano black. The whole front of the speaker is covered in a gray (chalk or charcoal) cloth while the back is a smooth, matte plastic.

Surprise: the Max is big. It dwarfs the Google Home, and is roughly the same size as the Sonos Play:5 at 13 inches wide by 7.5 inches high and 6 inches deep. It tips the scales at a hefty 11.7 pounds, which you'll notice if you tip it vertically to form a stereo pair. I love the magnetic silicone base, which keeps the speaker stable in either horizontal or vertical orientation.

Other features include:

•  Six onboard microphones for far-field voice control
•  Two 4.5-inch (114mm) high-excursion dual voice-coil woofers
•  Two 0.7-inch (18mm) custom tweeters
•  USB-C input
•  3.5mm auxiliary input

The top of the speaker incorporates slick touch controls. Swipe left or right for volume, tap to pause or play. It seems that Google has dialed the sensitivity of the touch controls down after high-profile problems with the Home Mini. I had mixed results with adjusting volume, although play/pause seemed to work fine.

At the CES 2017, Xiaomi launched the Android TV based setup-box called Mi Box in the U.S. However, the company hasn’t launched the Mi Box in India, its largest market outside of its home country. Interestingly, the company now launched the 55-inch premium Mi LED Smart TV 4 alongside the Red Note 5 and Redmi Note 5 Pro smartphones. The Mi TV 4 measures just 4.9mm thick and the company claims it to be the world’s thinnest LED TV.

Unlike the Mi Box, the Mi TV comes with the newly launched in-house PatchWall UI. However, the company has made certain tweaks to suit the Indian audience and is offering few premium services for free for a certain period. The Mi Remote which comes with Mi TV 4 lacks the voice input but comes with other advanced features. The two 8W speakers with Dolby+ DTS quality onboard the Mi TV 4 are reasonably louder for watching TV.

The Mi TV 4 comes with a 55-inch 4K (3840 x 2160 pixels) panel that also supports HDR playback. It offers 60Hz refresh rate and 178-degree clear view. It is powered by 64-bit Amlogic T968 quad-core processor with Cortex A53 cores clocked at 1.8GHz and Mali T830 MP2 GPU. There is 2GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage. On the connectivity front, the Mi TV 4 comes with Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0 LE, 3 HDMI 2.0 port, 1 USB 2.0 port, and 1 USB 3.0 port.

Unlike smartphones, specifications don’t matter much while purchasing TVs. While the major brands like Sony and Samsung still rule the premium TV market, the online brands like VU and TCL are offering decent products at much lower cost.
