According to the Bluetooth SIG certificate, the headset is manufactured by Sky Wing Communications Electronics Co. Ltd. It has model number SB-201 and it connects via Bluetooth 5.0.

The FCC documents contain more details such as photos and a user manual. As seen in the images below, the Nokia Solo Bud+ is made from plastic. The main body is black and there is an ear hook made from clear plastic. There is a multi-function button at the top and volume control buttons on the side.

Xiaomi To Launch A New Featherweight Headset on March 23, Poster Out

Jed John Ikoba — Wed, 21 Mar 2018 14:53:06 +0000

Xiaomi has officially revealed on Weibo that it would be launching a new headphone at 10 AM UTC+8 on March 23 which is just two days away. The Weibo poster announcing the scheduled launch event was shared on Xiaomi headphone’s Weibo account. The poster contains the feathery drawing of a musical note which clearly indicates that it is a headphone.

Much details of the features expected to be on the upcoming Xiaomi headphone were not revealed. But the Weibo post hints that the product will come with a new design which would be light and comfortable. The poster contains the feathery drawing of a musical note which clearly indicates that the headphone would be very light in terms of its weight. We also expect the tech giant to unveil a powerful headset with a solid sound output.

Xiaomi presently has a wide range of headset ranging from the Piston Pro and in-ear headset to Bluetooth headsets. However, if we are to go by the latest model to get a price cut, we can guess that the headset will be a new Bluetooth Sports Headset. The price of Xiaomi’s Sports Bluetooth headset was recently reduced and now sells for 129 Yuan. This makes sense as it connects with the poster which teases the headphone to be light and comfortable. Who would want to put on a heavy and uncomfortable headset while out jogging? We’ll have to wait until the product is unveiled before we can get the full details.

FIIL Carat Wireless Earphones with Activity Tracker Review

Linus — Sat, 03 Dec 2016 13:38:00 +0000

The market is full of affordable Bluetooth earphones that provide decent sound quality for quite a low price. We have reviewed quite a few of them over the time but we just came across the Fiil Carat wireless earphones that have some built-in fitness tracking features. In fact, the Fill Carat Pro model has even more exciting features but in this review, we are going to take a look at the base model of this headset. It will be up for pre-order at $59 soon. Check out this link for more details.

UNBOXING

The headset comes in a premium box where all the items are packed neatly. Inside of the box, you can find a headset itself, a USB cable, some extra earbuds and a high-quality carrying pouch.

DESIGN and FEATURES

Although the headset does not sport any premium materials in the construction, it is well-built and it seems that it last a long time. You can attach one earbud to another using the magnets, which is very convenient in practice.

We have the “activity” button on one of the earbuds. If you press it once, the voice will tell you the number of steps taken. If you press it twice, you will start/complete your workout. Finally, if you press it three times, you will turn on/off the light on the headset.

You can charge the headset using a regular micro USB port.

The earphones have the IP-65 rating, meaning that they are splash and dust resistant.

The controller has nice and tactile buttons. Also, the cable sports a tangle-free design.

One of the most favourite things about this headset is that it is very comfortable to wear out of the box. Obviously, you would need to find the right ear tips to have the best seal. Lastly, the headset stays nice and snug even if you or shake your head.

FITNESS TRACKING and APP

In order to unleash the full potential of the headset, you have to download the Fiil+ app on your Android or iOS device. One of the cool features is that the headset is able to track your steps/distance walked/calories burnt independently from your phone. Also, you can start monitoring your workout just with a single click of the button on the headset. I really love this feature since you can hear all the basic info about your exercise routines without the need to look into your phone.

I found the steps counter to be very accurate thanks to the PerformTek Precision biometrics technology.

Carat highlight feature is the patented Speed Dependent Sound Technology (SDS). The tech basically speeds up and slows down the sound effects according to the intensity of your workout. For example, if you are working hard, the Carat will automatically pump up the music and similarly, dial the music down when you are relaxing.

SOUND QUALITY

As for sound quality, it is pretty good. The sound is balanced, the volume output is great and the finally, the sound does not get distorted at the highest volume settings.

TEST NOTES and BATTERY LIFE

I didn’t have any connectivity issues even when my phone was somewhere deep in the pocket. The call quality is pretty good too.

As for the battery life, my FIIL Carat worked for about six hours before I needed to recharge. It takes about an hour and a half to charge it back to 100%.

CONCLUSIONS

Fiil Carat is a pretty cool headset with some fitness tracking capabilities. Our base version of the headset can track your steps, distance walked or calories burned accurately by just pressing one button.

Also, the headset has a decent battery life, it is comfortable to wear and the sound quality is definitely one of the better ones you can find in this price range.

All in all, the Fiil Carat is a great device that does more than just a regular Bluetooth headset and motivates you to stay active.

When it comes to the design, the Flymemo headset is built of rubber and rubberised plastic materials. The earbuds themselves have an interesting hammer shape design. One earbud has a little Bluetooth LED light, which lights up immediately once you power on the device (the headset enters into pairing mode automatically).

Also, there is a flap and underneath it you can find a micro USB port for charging.

The remote control allows you to skip tracks or adjust the volume, play/pause or answer the call.

When it comes to the sound quality, it is really good. The sound is balanced and it has quite a lot of depth, the volume output is loud and there is a good amount of bass.

As all Bluetooth earphones, Flymemo headset sports quite huge earbuds that stick out from your ears. I suggest you taking your time choosing the right size earbuds and use the included secure fit supports. Otherwise, the earphones will keep falling out from the ears.

EHEAR E2: A $65 Smart Bluetooth headset that doubles as a Video Camera

Frank Tu — Fri, 05 Sep 2014 07:07:27 +0000

While I am sure you must have seen or used a Bluetooth headset in the past, recently we came across a product which looked exactly like any other wireless headset in the market, but did much more than any of those.

EHEAR E2 is the product that we are talking about which functions not only as a Bluetooth headset but also as a music player and a smart camcorder.

DESIGN

As mentioned above, E2 looks like any other Bluetooth headset in the market, so even with its extra set of features, the company has managed to keep it sleek and portable. It weighs only 19 grams which means you won’t feel any discomfort wearing it for long hours. The ear piece fits comfortable inside your ear and the provided ear hook makes sure that the device stays in place.

For some the E2 may look longer than other Bluetooth headsets, but the inbuilt camera justifies the slight increase in the length. Overall, the device looks well built and sturdy.

FEATURES

EHEAR E2 can perform three main functions. It can make and receive calls via your connected smartphone. It can play music and finally it can capture and record Point of View videos with just a touch of a button.

Ofcourse, E2 cannot replace your high quality headphones that you would normally use, but it can definitely come in handy when you don’t have a pair around or while you are waiting for a call.

The 2MP onboard camera can capture 320p and 480p videos at 20 fps and 15 fps respectively. E2 can automatically adjust to the surround lighting conditions even in low light depending whether you are indoors or outdoors. The videos on the device are recorded in 3GP format and you can even perform live streaming in VGA format.

For storing these videos, you get a MicroSD card slot inside which can hold cards up to 64GB in size. That’s more than enough for your everyday use given that 3GP videos are usually quite small.

EHEAR E2 comes with a 200 mAh Li-Polymer battery which provides talk time of around 5 hours. In case you are recording, you’ll get around 1.5 hours of 320p and 1 hour of 480p recording time. EHEAR claims that the device can charge within 20 minutes, which means a quick stop at a charging port should get the device ready for another round of recording.

E2 is available in five colors namely, Black, White, Yellow, Red and Blue. With the product, you get two Ear Buds, two Ear Hooks, one English / Chinese Manual, one English / Chinese Instruction, and a Cable for connecting and charging the device.

So, if you are looking for a portable Bluetooth headset or a personal camcorder, make sure you consider EHEAR’s E2 headset. You can get one of these directly from GearBest for $65.40.

The video below from Gear Best shows exactly how you can use the device in your daily life. So make sure you check it out first before heading to the product page.
