Great Headphones - The Montblanc MB 01 Grey Color

                           

The Montblanc MB 01 wireless headphones are one of the best that I have tested. The APX over Bluetooth keeps the Hi-Res audio sounding excellent! The sound is amazing, has ANC so that you can tune out the noise around you and be able to listen to your favorite music and enjoy it in Hi-Res with a compatible Hi-Res music player. Even if you don't use Hi-Res music, the sound is still amazing over a Bluetooth connection. Battery life using the Montblanc MB 01 is also great, I get around 18 to 20 hours. I can use them over several days and then charge them up, the best thing is that you can charge them using any type C charger. So, charging on the go without the worries of carrying around a special charger is great! Just use your phone charger in the car while traveling, or a home phone charger as well. These are great headphones, especially for the first generation from Montblanc. They are very comfortable to wear and not heavy so you can listen to music for longer periods of time without worrying that they become uncomfortable. The easy access to the hardware buttons is great! I like that they are also very stylish and look good. Also in using them for phone calls, they are much better than the Bose 700, Sennheiser, and the Sony headphones. The Montblanc MB 01 cancels more of the background noise, yes, if you are in a very noisy environment, then the noise will be heard on the other side of your conversation. But overall they did a great job better than all I had used and tested. I also use the Montblanc MB 01 for editing my videos...

Surface Duo Otterbox Case Review

           

I picked up the Otterbox Theorem Series case for the Surface Duo to protect it while traveling. The Ottherbox Theorem case looks great but has some downfalls after using it... The case doesn't really work very well with a stylus, even though it has a stylus holder built right on the flap. It actually keeps the flap from closing if you put a stylus. The Otterbox Theorem looks very elegant and gives your Microsoft Surface Duo that extra high class look, but inside it is made of plastic that doesn't look or feel high quality. The Otterbox Theorem Series is on the expensive side, you might want to shop around if you pick up the case for your Microsoft Surface Duo. It does have a sticky surface inside that holds your Surface Duo which keeps it from sliding out. But if you happen to have a skin protector on the outside of the Surface Duo, it might peel it off with the adhesive of the case to keep the Surface Duo from sliding out of the case. Inside there are two slots for credit cards or you could put your driver's license in the slot as well. Overall the case looks great but it only holds from one side and the rest is loose so I will be passing on this case.

Surface Duo Apply Custom Skin Wrap Installation

          

If you picked up the Microsoft Surface Duo and want to protect your device? Why not wrap it in a custom skin that you can create on your own from Mightskins! This will give your Surface Duo that extra touch and at the same time, you can display your favorite pictures on your Microsoft Surface Duo! The skin wraps are easy to install and won't leave any film if you decide to remove it and install another skin wrap. I did run into an issue, one of the pictures I uploaded turned out a very orange tint color. Hopefully, this was just a rare issue, will be contacting Mightyskins and see what they have to say about this. Overall, the detail of the print is excellent, and do highly recommend anyone that wants a custom skin or just want to order one of the already available skins at Mightskins website to go get one for their Microsoft Surface Duo!

Microsoft Surface Duo: Ember Color Bumper Great Protection!

             


Microsoft Surface Duo has released color bumpers to add different colors to the bumper line up, besides the Glacier White bumper that comes inside the box. I picked up the Ember color bumper which is a much nicer color than the picture from the online Microsoft website and at first didn't install the Glacier White bumper because it just seemed to plain of a color. Overall the bumper does give you a better grip to hold the Microsoft Surface Duo in your hand and also if it happens to slide from your hand it can give it some protection when dropping and hitting the floor, table, or any hard surface. Also, the Ember color bumper added a nice detail to the Surface Duo! It is a bit pricey, but I think it's worth the price of the bumper.

The Best Screen Protector for Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 Screen Protector In...

             


I picked up the Invisible Shield GlassFusion+ screen protector for the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3. This is a glass-like protector that goes on easy and doesn't affect the viewing angles or the display of the watch, it also helps keep fingerprints from showing on the screen protector. This is one of the best screen protectors that I tried, there are others but I haven't had the chance to try them and see if the quality is the same as the Zagg Invisible Shield GlassFusion+! If you use your watch outdoors in an environment that can possibly scratch your Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 screen, then you might want to consider putting a glass protector! I use my watch while Mountian Biking, so I want to protect the glass from all the dirt, grime, and from those falls that can possibly scratch the glass.

Great Slim Case Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Leather Case Review

                     

Looking for a slim leather case? The official Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 leather case is a great slim case... but you will not get much protection for your Galaxy Z Fold 2 and is very expensive unless you can get it at a discount! The leather case is well made, all of the areas where the leather wraps around the case seem to be well crafted and glued. The cutouts for your mic, charging port are centered and the notch for the volume up and down is nicely centered. There is enough room in the notch for your power button to use your fingerprint as well. There is one issue with the cut at the bottom for the charging port. If your USB-C cable has a thicker end at of the cable, then it won't be able to go in because the cut out isn't big enough to allow the cable to go in. So, you will have to make sure you use a thinner end of charging cable or use the wireless feature of the Galaxy Z Fold 2. The leather on the case is very soft, gives the phone a nice stylish look to it but it won't give you much protection for the front. The corners of the back are protected with the case, the inside has a soft velvet feel to it and won't damage your Galaxy Z Fold 2 while it is in the leather case. The case snaps in easy and holds on very tight and at least I can't see it coming off on its own, maybe if it fell and hit the ground it might come off. The leather case also gives you some grip when handling your Galaxy Z Fold 2, currently, without the case, it is very slippery, and don't want the phone to slip out of your hands!

This case only protects the back, but in reality, with the way the Galaxy Z Fold 2 is designed. You really can't protect the front much because it is a full edge to edge screen. You can buy a case that has the edge bumper for the front and add it to the leather case so you can get some type of protection but there aren't many cases that would truly protect the Galaxy Z Fold 2 unless it is an armor type of case which would make the phone too bulky!

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Leather case is available in Black, Brown, and Green. Link to Samsung website for the cases https://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/mob...

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Unboxing: The Metallic Red and Blue Color Hinge

Samsung has released one of the best foldable phones currently on the market. Here is an unboxing of the Galaxy Z Fold 2 with the Metallic Red hinge and the Metallic Blue Hinge. The new improved hinge on the Galaxy Z Fold 2 is improved over the first generation Galaxy Fold. The build quality of the Galaxy Z Fold 2 is top-notch! You can feel the quality of the Galaxy Z Fold 2 in your hands, making calls on it also feels just right in your hands as well. The new bigger 7.6-inch display actually makes a big difference in comparison to the Galaxy Fold first generation. When folded it does have some heft to it, but it's not as bad as you would think. It's a good kind of heaviness, it makes the phone feel solid! The new hideaway hinge is a much more improvement over the first generation Fold and overall it's a better hinge. You are now able to angle the screen from different angles, this makes better when you are running two apps and want to set the Galaxy Z Fold 2 on a desk or just a surface.
Also for those that might be thinking that the Metallic Red-colored hinge is Red, it actually looks more like a Orange color. Outdoors it does look a bit of a Red-Orange color, though it has more of a Orange color to it. Hopefully, this would be a bit clearer, if you were expecting the hinge to be on the Red side, it won't. The Metallic Blue on the hinge actually looks much better than the online picture that is advertised. When in tablet mode you won't be able to see the hinge at all. Samsung engineers did a great in creating the new hideaway hinge on the Galaxy Z Fold 2! The Mystic Bronze matte finish on the back of the phone is also a great touch to the phone! Overall the phone is a great device if you were thinking of purchasing the Galaxy Z Fold 2 and was on the fence about it! At least for my use and for my daily workload the Galaxy Z Fold 2 exceeds what I need to use the phone for!

The Best Wireless Car Charger 2020

One of the best fast Qi wireless chargers in 2020 is the Kenu Airframe vent mount! It is compatible with Samsung phones, iPhones, and other Android phones that are Qi-enabled wireless charging! The Kenu Airframe charges my Samsung Galaxy Fold quickly, just as if I had it connected with a USB-C cord. One of the great features is that the Kenu Airframe is very compact in size, doesn't take much room from your vent, and is low profile. I really like this feature as it doesn't get in the way of the vent. I was able to pick up the Kenu Airframe at a discount price on Amazon and is one of the very few that allow narrow phones like my Galaxy Fold when closed to hold it without falling out or sliding down the vent holder. I tested a few and those would not hold the narrow Galaxy Fold completely, so while driving the slid out. Here is a list of what Kenu list as compatible with the Airframe on their website.

Huawei Mate X 5G At CES 2020: Hands On With A Great Foldable Phone!

I was able to get hands on the Huawei Mate X 5G at CES 2020 and was very impressed on the build quality of the phone! This is one solid foldable phone that actually is better fit then the current Samsung Galaxy Fold. Huawei finally released the Mate X 5G in China, though you can’t purchase it the US but hoping to see this phone come to the US very soon. In the very short time I was able to check out the Mate X 5G at CES 2020 it was very responsive, fluid and very nice to hold and use in your hand. In the video you will see a quick overview of the Huawei Mate X 5G but the videos you see of the phone really doesn’t show how well it is design and built. 

Samsung Galaxy Fold MONTBLANC Case Review...

When Samsung released the Galaxy Fold it also released the 5G version that included the Montblanc case. Many were not able to get the case but I was able to get a hold of a couple of these cases to test and use as my daily case for my Samsung Galaxy Fold. Over all you will see in the video that the case very well design and made to last! It will add a bit of thickness compared to the non 5G Galaxy Fold that was released for the US, but in my opinion its not that bad... it actually helps out especially when you put your phone on a table on its back side. With the Montblanc case being a bit thicker, it protects the camera lens! Over I really like this case, I do switch back to the carbon case that comes in the non 5G model. This would be more of a preference on the user on which case they like, whether a barely there case or a bit of thicker but still light weight case...
