Silicon Devices Wireless Bluetooth Headphones #ProductReview


I received this set of bluetooth earphones at no cost to me in exchange for my honest unbiased review.
With so many devices and multitasking being part of our everyday life we look to new technology to help us. There is where devices like this come into play.
 
Connectivity 4.9/5
These work through bluetooth which is easy to setup and connect. The phone call functions work well and the talking/hearing is clear and uninterrupted. I also used for music streaming from Amazon prime without issues. I also used to listen to audio/reading from the Bible app without problems.
 
Range 4.9/5
The promised 10 meter range worked for me. I tested this when I left my phone on the loader (one of those big construction tractors like the Tonka trucks) and got off to move some levers. It easily met the 30 feet all around except a slight disconnect when I was directly behind the loader but it quickly reconnected. The quality did not drop the further I went which surprised me.
 
Sound quality and clarity 5/5
These earphones produce a clear and loud sound at all times. I never felt that I was missing out on quality.
 
Battery life 5/5
Although I am rating the battery life at 5/5 doesn't mean I don't wish it wasn't longer because I do. Yet I am rating it on what it promises which is 3-6 hours of continuous use battery life which I happened to get out of it. I was at about 4.5 hours but I don't think I have had it 100% when I check battery life. Also you charge which a regular microusb cord aka the Android cord so this makes it easy to have a replacement and various options for charging.
 
Accessories and comfort 4/5
I really like that you get a small carry case for the earphones and the small ear tips. You get a variety of eat tips of different sizes, a few sets of what I think are pulling parts to take them off and a small clip to hold the cord that connects the ear pieces. They are definitely very comfortable in my ear and will stay in place for the most part but they do tend to slip out if I turn my head to often or too much. So that may be because the cord is about an inch or two too short or because I didn't use the clip to clip onto my shirt.
 
Overall rating 4.8
I give these earphones an overall rating of 4.8/5 and definitely recommend them for anyone who needs some earphones for work, the car or school.

Whiskey Stones Combo Set, Dry-Ice Gift Set, Stainless Steel Whiskey Cubes and Soapstone Whiskey Rocks Combo Set #Review




I received this set of chilling stones at no cost to me in exchange for my honest opinion and review. 

These are chilling stones not ice cubes. I say this so you can see that they have different functions. Ice will melt to turn your drink cold from top to bottom. Chilling stones will release coldness to the bottom to the top of your drinks to make them cold. (You may want to put both chilling stones and ice to get a drink super cold. 

I got the opportunity to try this #whiskeycombo set of 4 soapstones and 4 stainless steel chilling stones. My favorite are the Stainless Steel stones I really like the look and that they are so lightweight. I was super happy with how they work. These are meant for are work best with small glass volumes of liquid not a large glass (although if you put more in that the usual 2-3 it will still work). They are ideal for a lazy day or for when you are having a talk with someone during a meal. I always left them moist after cleaning even though it's recommended you dry them before you place back in fridge.  All that really does is leave a small ice layer over it which may make it a little slippery to grab. The only difficulty is sometimes grabbing them with the tonsils but you just adjust a little bit and then presto you got it. I even wanted to see if the stones would hurt if you drink to the bottom of the glass, so I drank all my water closed my lips as the stones said towards my face expecting the worst but barely even felt them hit. So that is a major relief of not chipping a tooth. 

I am a non-alcoholic drinker, so I used them with juices, water, teas and other drinks. They are definitely great for keeping your drinks cool without diluting them. I would rate them 5/5 unless something magically turns out to be better.
