This is, I believe, the sixth set of KingYou earphones that I am testing. I can't say the quality in sound or of the materials used in any of their earphones are lacking. They are all pretty good, but anyway, to go back to this one. It has a nice design, it fits great and I love the audio quality. This set is in black, which is a nice, elegant color. The only design is in some silvery crisscross lines, which would make these work with just about any outfit. The mic and only button sit on the same spot, and that button can be used to listen to music or answer/end phone calls. I like the utility of it. You can just use the one button to get to whatever track wanted, all you need to do is click through. One click will get the play function, two clicks skips to the next track and three bring you to the previous track. It is pretty simple, and the instruction manual that came with this was really simple and to the point. As usual, a good instruction manual gets extra points, to me.

This is yet another set from KingYou headphones that I have to say, will definitely impress anyone. It comes in black and in red and black, and I have been testing both for the past few days. As usual, the color is one that fits most outfits, especially sports outfits, but also casual jeans. So they will actually work with anything, which is great. The set up is very easy. It is pretty clear how to use these and how to charge them or pair them with your phone. It takes a couple hours to fully charge, and I have been using them for about the 8h they say they are supposed to work, so I have been quite happy with this. I like that the headset is very slim. I don't like anything bulgy, and my previous bluetooth headset was a somewhat bulgy LG that I had to carry around my neck and tended to inconvenience me while doing certain things in my daily life. This headset is extremely thin and does not stand out. I find it a lot easier for me to use. The sound quality is pretty great.

I am one of those people who usually get unlucky with lightning cables (it sounds a bit like a curse, huh). My original Apple cable has long stopped working, telling me that the accessory is not supported, and since then I have been through quite a bunch of cables who decided to suddenly stop working. So, when I got this, I was more than happy to try all the cables. They all come nicely packed and have a pretty neutral coloring. I have been using the 3 ft cable with my computer and so far, everything worked great. My phone charges quickly and I manage to use iTunes with no problems. I have given the 10 ft cable to my husband and he has been using it to charge his phone while in bed. As compared to another set I bought previously (you can see that in the pics hopefully), I think these cables are sturdier. They appear just a little bit thicker and less flexible, which could mean, to me, that the braiding is better made. So far, these cables have worked great. So I think they deserv

If you are one of those people who need something without a snooze button to really wake up and get out of bed, this is the perfect thing for you! I admit, I got this because of the retro look, I had clocks like this when I was growing up, and this is a bit of a reminder of that - without the annoying ticking! This clock works with 1 AA battery, that is not included in the package, but, as usual, my rechargeable batteries come in handy. It has pretty big numbers on it, so it is easy to read from a distance. The alarm and the clock are pretty easy to set. You get one rotating knob for the time and one for the alarm - but, remember, the alarm goes off twice a day, so you will have to keep that in mind and turn it off, otherwise you get a really noisy alarm. The two bells are pretty loud when it is time for the alarm to go off. My cat got really scared because of that, and even now, he goes to attack the clock when he sees it. So, if you are a bit skittish, you might want to keep the al

This is a great gift idea, either for somebody, or even for yourself! I got this one for me because I do like casual watches, and Roman numerals, also the rectangular design is one of my favorites. I honestly did not expect this to come with a battery and already working when I received it! It was also set to EST time, so I didn't even have to set it myself. I admit, that may be lazy, on my part, but it also shows that they actually do put the time in it to do the little things, and those small details are what hooks me on to something. The band is genuine leather, that is great, for people allergic to plastic, or who dislike metal. Leather tends to be a better match for most people, in my opinion. The watch itself is made of a zinc alloy, which I guess is good, I am not exactly an expert. What I do like is that this watch is waterproof, it has quartz, and it is very easy to tell the time - at least for me, who knows how to read Roman numerals. I prefer that to watches that don

When you have a pet that likes actual schedules when being fed, this is a great addition of little gadgets to have in the house. My cat enjoys getting treats at a certain hour, specifically when he wakes up from his afternoon nap, and this just makes it a lot easier to make sure he gets that on time, even when there is nobody home to get to the treats jar and place them in his reach. This feeder comes with an ice pack, that needs to be placed in the freezer before use. It is pretty easy to place back. You have to put the food in, set a time and, when the timer runs out, the feeder cover pops up, allowing your pet to reach the food. The instructions say that this can be used with wet and dry food. I prefer to only put dry treats in, since I live in a tropical climate, and food can go bad easily. The timer works with an AA battery, it has up to 48 hours on it. Very important is to remember NOT to put the lock on, because that will prevent it from opening when the timer runs out. At f

This is a nice set of 3 light bulbs that fit a lot of small appliances and fixtures that can take their size, which is basically anything that can go with the E17 fit. I got these because I needed to replace the bulb in my stove oven and also the one in my chest freezer, and they work great. As you can see from my pictures, these require AC 110V, and give 50 watt-daylight light (6000K). The great thing is that they are rated A+ in energy efficinecy, which is great if you want to save on your electric bill. The outside coating is a soft silicone, instead of glass. That is supposed to keep them safe from breaking and other damages, but I for sure won't be testing it, I am happy with these bulbs fitted where they have and hope they will last me a long time! I only needed two, so I am left with one extra in case I need it for anything else. I think they might fit some lamps too, but the lamps I have in the house don't with with E17. They are also dimmable, but I don't rea

This is a beautiful pendant/necklace set, that comes in a really nice box and I think would make the perfect gift for someone who enjoys such jewelry. The main stone is Swarovski, so the price of this (right now it has a $54 off discount) is also pretty good. I got this mainly because of the ocean pendant, this reminds me so much of Moana, and I really loved that movie. It is like a shell, but blue and it has a nice starfish shape placed right on top. I think the other figures are supposed to be corals, and shiny "pearl" lookalikes. I think, for these additions, this would be great for someone who enjoys the ocean, or ocean stories (even the name of this is Ocean Secret).  I like that the inside of this box is made to resemble like suede, that looks pretty professional, although, for some reason, I thought the bottom part doubled as a small bag to put this in after wearing it. It is just a detachable bottom, however. It still looks really classy and nice.  The meta

This is the second brush set that I am trying from Craftamo, and these are just perfect! The set is a great gift idea for any art enthusiast, amateur or even an actual artist. The brushes are a good quality, and the carry case is multi-use - it can be brought up to be used as a stand or simply to carry them. I have to say, I was not expecting the brushes to be as long as they are. They are, however, comfortable to use. They come in various sizes and shapes, some come with the plastic caps that help protect their shape for a longer period of time. Just like the other Craftamo set I tried, the hairs are synthetic, and still manage to work as well as animal hair-brushes. The quality is great, there is no shedding that I have noticed. Some of the brushes come a bit hard, but using some water or paint makes them turn soft. With the length of them, they can actually be used to paint on materials without getting too close to them, which can be great if you are prone to splashing things al

I got this set of paints for my step-daughter, and she was thrilled. She is a beginner, so she is just starting to use paints of her own. This set is great for that, since it includes a small (but very usable) palette too. This Craftamo set includes all the novice colors, you get white, black, brown, green, and some other colors in between. I like the size of them, I have previously bought acrylic paints and they came in much smaller tubes, these are a good size, 27 ml. That is pretty decent for painting on/off, in my opinion. I love how the tubes were sealed, also, making sure they get delivered in perfect condition. The paints, I think should not be used for face painting and metal, but they do a good job on canvas, or even paper. A good thing is that you can actually blend them, so you get whatever hue you are going for while painting. They turn waterproof when dry, so any cleanup should be done before that happens, luckily I did read the comments of this and managed to get that

These headphones look really nice. They have a good sound quality and come packaged perfectly for gifting. The style is interesting, I haven't seen many earbuds that look like this. First of all, these KingYou earbuds, I have to say, have a great style. They combine shades of grey with black and red, and you get three sizes of soft silicone eartips. That can be extremely helpful when you do require something off the "regular" size of earbuds. For me, I always have to pick the small ones, which I did with this set also. It fit perfectly and it did not bother me at all. I had no issues getting these in and they surely didn't fall either. That was nice. The sound quality is pretty good, especially for the price. They added deep bass to these, which I prefer to other headphones, mostly because I don't like flat sounds. These come with a multi-function button, just like the other KingYou headphones I have tried. You can answer calls, end them, even put them on ho

The AVWOO Bluetooth speaker is a nice addition to my regular gadgets. It has a nice design, a good quality sound, and has some interesting additions, like a sub-woofer and an FM radio. This is definitely not the first, nor the last Bluetooth speaker that ends up with me. What it has as a novelty is the design. I have to say I am impressed with the wood grain look, it has caught my eye since I first saw this on Amazon, and it looks exactly the same as the pictures they posted. It has no flaws or scratches, that also is one thing that is great with the packaging this comes in, it is a thicker carton box, so nothing gets damaged, or at least not easily. I am in love with the sound! I have bought a lot more expensive speakers that sounded a lot more flat. I guess the addition of the sub-woofer really helped. I put on Queen from my Amazon Music app and it has a really nice sound. A lot better than some other bluetooth speakers we have in the house. My husband, who enjoys music just as m
