Digits Trading Corporation Outs Best Gadgets of 2015

This picture reminds me to ALWAYS have to look good. Having friends who do Fashion blogs takes a little bit of upkeep if you know what I mean. I don't really want to look like a rag when I'm with them and the best part of it is that I know I just need to simply use angles (as you can see by the fat guy on the photo). It doesn't take a genius to know they think about what to wear every day while I just put on whatever I have in the closet and put them on, choose a shoe then go. I don't even take the slightest look in the mirror and just bother what I am doing later on when I sit beside them, I just tell myself they're friends and they'll understand that when it comes to styling I don't have a clue LOL. It just shows that we love each other dearly because we're Team Suspects.

It's also Christmas Season. Just like me, you have to have your gadgets look good too Have you done shopping already? Have you already thought about what to give your man? How about your techy friends? Have you seen your phone lately and told yourself how ugly it is and always thought about getting it a new look? Well don't go anywhere further because the people from Digits Trading just made things easier for you. They've compiled the top selling gadgets and accessories from their stores and what better way to give gifts but to actually know what it is before you go out of your house right? I went with Team Suspects to check it out. It was also their way of thanking the media for helping them all these years. Digits Trading is the company behind super great stores like Beyond The Box, Digital Walker, Digital Hub among others that sell tons of internationally renowned brands which you'll see in a bit. Here they are in no particular order!

Digits Trading Best of 2015 by kumagcow

The Braven Balance Wireless Portable Speakers has rich warm bass. It feels like really good music and sound would come out of it without extras, which I think would be good for purists. It can also last for 18 hours as its got 4000 mAh internal battery so you can also charge your phones on it. The Urban Ears Plattan on the other hand can be worn on the street, by executives, even on your workout gear. I must say, this Swedish brand has impressed me even with their earplugs, the colors they have, and the quality of sound in their products. Sometimes it's even better than the one that comes with your device, they practically do it very well. So does the Coloud Headphones which also is very competitively priced. It's very stylish and won't bore you with just the old black or white palette. They also included on the list the Marshall Portable Speaker, it's quality is unquestionable because they are the authority. It's also available in 2 colors, black and cream. You would be the envy of the town if you have it!

They also have the Jaybird X2 Sport Wireless Bluetooth Headphones. It's got a nice fit, can get up to 8 hours of function. It's also sweat proof, so if you're thinking of giving it to someone who runs then this is the perfect gift. Soundfreaq Speakers on the other hand is designed by real music lovers and it's clean lines, modern look can always fit in your existing home. You can also get this to your small parties and it'll make your event a good one. The Boostcase Gemstone Battery Case on the other hand is good for those who have iPhone 6, iPhone 6S and plus. They've got the case to protect the hardware with the additional juice you have on the powerbank it has by default. I also like that they have the Nude Audio Speakers because I've been using one that's wired and it sounds so amazing. The bluetooth/wireless one is at par with that and they are known to be pretty good manufacturers. They also have the RHA in ear headphones for those who want noise isolation, yes that's possible and they've got it inside their stores. The Nation Union Jump Cables is just an answered prayer for iPhone. Let's admit it, the cables that come with our phones just have a lifespan of a year or so. I take care of it that much that I put stuff around it to shield it from wear and tear, still it gave me problems. This just does the job. The Magic Mount for tablets and phones would be good for those who drive, for those who use Waze or GPS too. To cap it off, they've got the ultimate selfie stick called MOMAX Selfie Hero. It's got about everything you want in a selfie stick, bluetooth connection, it's sturdy and colorful.

When you need to buy things like these, Digits Trading Corporation have Beyond the Box, Digital Walker and Digital Hub to cater to your needs. They're in leading malls and establishments nationwide. My favorite is the Digital Walker store in Eastwood, they also have Recession Coffee there which serves coffee and you just pay for what you feel is right. They've got more things in the coming months so make sure you follow their channels for deals and real thrills!

The BRAVEN 570 HD Wireless Speaker

Finding the perfect speakers to be in your home or your favorite travel buddy takes a lot of trial and errors. I have found quite a few that would be able to satisfy the audiophile in me but I guess it sometimes fall short on one category, and that's the number of hours that these speakers work. I have bluetooth speakers that work for about an hour, I have one that works around 4-6 hours but I have never even imagined that there would be something like the BRAVEN 570 HD Wireless Speaker. The promise? 10 hours. Is that even possible (I had to ask)? We went and tested this promising product for a few days. 

Just like it's predecessors, this is primarily a Bluetooth speaker. I didn't know until I read the fine print that this is also going to function like a power bank. I think it's also the same reason why it can last a long time, because you can use the device batteries to also charge your cellphones and small gadgets that run on the same specifications. 

Unboxing the BRAVEN 570 HD Wireless Speaker

The black box contains enough cardboard pieces to protect the metal finish of the speaker. It fits the purpose of at least getting the device to you without scratches or dents but with the speaker's build, it'll be pretty hard to do that for real.

The pack also contains two cords. One is the twin 3.5 mm jack, used probably to have another speaker connected to it. The other is for charging the device, from USB to mini jack that you can also use to charge phones with the same port. Since there is a USB port on the BRAVEN 570 HD Wireless Speaker, you can use your own Lightning cable for Apple devices like what I'll be using in this instance.

As for the Braven 570's build, it's really awesome. Now you might think it's weird to have the speakers open in two directions, but if you've got real sound going out of the unit, you don't need the extra bass and go for a louder volume... that's exactly what you'll get from this unit. I tried both music and podcasts so I could differentiate what I'm going to hear in vocals and in different genres of music. If you are looking for deep bass, this wasn't made for that. This BRAVEN 570 HD Wireless Speaker is for REAL non saturated music, no modifications, nothing but the clear music as it should be. Purists who prefer it this way will super like it. As for the loudness, I've reviewed smaller ones before and this packs it like twice of those. After all, this is where that 6 watts of power goes.

Pairing the BRAVEN 570 HD Wireless Speaker was also easy. Just turn on the notch found in the side of the device. You will hear an ascending tone on the speaker itself. Go to your phone and open it's bluetooth capability, it should see the BRAVEN 570 HD Wireless Speaker on the list of devices.

Just go ahead and click on the BRAVEN 570, then wait for it to connect.

There's also a blinking blue light on the device signifying the attempt on pairing. It only lasts a few seconds so make sure you do not miss the exact time pairing with it. This could also be the way to pair with it securely because if it stands around like other devices, other people might connect with it just for fun. That might ruin your listening experience, and it was cool they only do it for a few seconds for discovery alone.

Talking about controls, the ON/OFF switch, the bluetooth pairing button, the mini USB port, the 3.5mm input jack and the +/- Volume controls looked very apt for the unit. On the other side, the USB port (for output), the 3.5mm (also for output so you can connect another speaker), and the charging button if you have a phone attached. 

Using the Bluetooth connection, I was already satisfied with the output of this BRAVEN 570 HD Wireless Speaker and it could still work in my room which was more than 10 feet away from it. I don't have that much interference in my house aside from the router and it all works like it should.

I also used the cable that came with the package to connect my iPhone 5S powered by SMART to play podcasts straight from the internet and it was amazing. I think it even sounded more crisp with the cable, but even so, either way, they all work so good on talk shows, and HD music on Deezer Premium.

The BRAVEN 570 HD Wireless Speaker also has an output 3.5mm port so if you have another BRAVEN 570 HD Wireless Speaker or other brands that have that input, you can daisy chain it for an even louder set. Heck, you can have a party indoors or outdoors with friends and family with just this and your iPhone. I'm sure that will be so good if you want to carry around something, not those huge ones that you have to rent and pay thousands of pesos for when you can get the best in this small device.

The BRAVEN 570 HD Wireless Speaker also can be used as a Speakerphone. If you're in a group and want the whole place to listen in to meetings, parties where you want the ones abroad to join you, this is a great solution. Aside from that, it's got this USB port on it that you can use to charge your cellphones. Since it's got around 10 hours of battery life, lending a few thousand mAh's for your drained phones won't hurt. It can also greatly work in emergencies when you can't find a power source during weather disturbances like this typhoon weekend.

The new BRAVEN 570 HD Wireless Speaker works as it should and has a lot of other things in its sleeve to impress you more. It works as a speakerphone, a power bank and plays real sounding music for hours of fun with your family. It's also available in Digits Trading branches nationwide. All you need to do is go to their stores and test it out. Whatever is your budget, they've got other Braven models you can choose from to fit that. Don't forget to check out their showrooms because they would gladly assist you in choosing the right stuff that would also fit your personality. These are lifestyle products after all. As for me, I am happy with the BRAVEN 570 HD Wireless Speaker. I held a party yesterday at home using this, fits like a glove! If you haven't thought about that perfect Christmas gift yet for your man, this would be highly suggested!

Impeccable Design and Function: MONOCLE by Native Union

I was in the mood of getting accessories for my iPhone 5 and iPhone 5S so this arrived in the mail today. Right from the get go, I've always liked things that is a little fashion forward. When I held the box in my hand, I knew the MONOCLE by Native Union was right for me. It functions as a Speaker, Handset and Speakerphone all in one. I had to do an un-boxing of course. I immediately tested it out and see if it fits my phone. 

At first, I was a little skeptical that it might not be appropriate to carry it around like this guy in the package. Then again, maybe I might think of it differently when I try it on. 

Concept wise, I think I know why this is a little different. It's not meant to be worn like head phones, although it can function as one. Put it on your bag or pocket, it'll still be a good thing to show off to friends if you are the type of person who wants envy to flourish in your hood LOL! The body itself is made of spun aluminum whilst the inner grill is scored copper and plus a black aluminum casing. It's pretty sturdy and solid build makes it a tough cookie for travel purposes.

When I opened the box, it had a few brochures inside of it. The manual was also simple and available in different languages. The cords that came with it were all in Nylon reinforced covers. This make it literally hard to ruin or get damaged on normal occasions. Unlike the power cable of my iPhone5 that's about to say goodbye to this world soon LOL!

The cute MONOCLE also has this button on the side that can function to answer calls or drop them. It'll be handy answering calls so you get to do it hands free on speaker mode which I'll tell you about in a bit. Otherwise, you can just stick it to your hand while you hold your phone on the other. Private conversations on this gadget is a breeze but probably would need the help of your hand since it can't be hung around your ear. It is cozy though because it's softly padded by a cushion in the earpiece. You can opt to also put it on top of a table so you can share it with your friends or if you are in a conference call.
