OnePlus Buds Pro 2 Review: Putting AirPods Pro 2 on Notice…

OnePlus took the wraps off their new phone, and I have a series of videos out now to see how the OnePlus 11 is performing and competing.

OnePlus ALSO revealed their new true wireless OnePlus Buds Pro 2, and I can share some thoughts on using them WITH the OnePlus 11!

I don’t feel OnePlus really gets enough credit for making nice accessories.

Sure, the watch was a bit of a bust, but chargers, cases, and audio gear have generally been top tier. As an ecosystem of products, OnePlus punches higher than the coverage they usually receive.

Specifically audio gear, I’ve genuinely been pleased with OP earbuds going all the way back to their dual driver neckband.

The OnePlus Buds Pro 2 carry on this tradition, with fantastic tech features, very good audio quality, and a terrific performance for the price. Continue reading “OnePlus Buds Pro 2 Review: Putting AirPods Pro 2 on Notice…”

SOUNDPEATS Opera 03 True Wireless Earbuds Review: Audiophile on a Budget?

Can we satisfy “audiophile” on a wallet friendly budget?

Soundpeats is a solid consumer earbud brand, and I’ve had positive experiences covering their products in the past.

Their new earbud is an interesting focus for the company. The Opera series of buds are wrapping up crowd funding campaigns, and there’s a LOT of talk about audio quality and hi-res fidelity. Previous “Pro” and premium earbuds from Soundpeats have retailed as high as $120, but their main focus is on a $40-$60 consumer range.

The Opera aims to bring a bit more of the premium polish to a slightly lower cost. Aiming for an $80 MSRP (currently on early bird for $49), the Opera 3 are an interesting experiment.

A part of my conclusion at the top of this article:

We should be really excited to see how previously ‘exotic’ audio tech is now becoming more mainstream and affordable. Continue reading “SOUNDPEATS Opera 03 True Wireless Earbuds Review: Audiophile on a Budget?”

#SGGQA 285: Poco X5 Pro Impressions, Vivo X90 Pro Photos, Big Tech Layoffs, Huawei Chip Ban, Jony Ive’s Red Nose

TONS of news this week!

It cost Big Tech companies BILLIONS to lay off so many people, but rich people got richer! An ISP lied about broadband coverage to block funding to rivals. The US is cracking down harder on Huawei, banning more tech. Jony Ive designed the Red Nose this year, and it is kind of stunning. Samsung profits fell almost 70%, and this year looks difficult too.

And we HAVE to talk about a PAIR of awesome new phones out RIGHT NOW! Poco X5 Pro and Vivo X90 Pro are GO!

Vivo X90 Pro is HERE! First Look at the NEXT Stage of Smartphone Photography!

Vivo X90 Pro first impressions!

This is one of the first phones to move to a proper 1″ type sensor! This is a HUGE step for mobile photography and video. More important than adding more megapickles, a bigger sensor dramatically changes the look of your content. I’ve had it for ONE DAY, so here are some EARLY EARLY thoughts about the phone, the camera, and this new MediaTek Dimensity 9200 SOC.

Let’s chat! Continue reading “Vivo X90 Pro is HERE! First Look at the NEXT Stage of Smartphone Photography!”
