BlueAnt have developed a bit of a reputation for themselves already, so I was looking forward to see just what the Q2 Smart Bluetooth headset could do.
I wasn’t disappointed.
As well as looking the real deal, performance is as awesome. The wind noise reduction is seriously impressive, by far the best I have tried.
But, for me, what makes this Bluetooth headset the market leader is the ‘Smart’ element. This is what a handsfree headset needs to be, totally handsfree.
The Q2 includes a comprehensive voice recognition command set, text to speech technology that announces the names of incoming callers, voice access to a world of information and incoming SMS readout…no need to look at your phone any more to see who’s calling or what was on that last text.
Very, very clever.
These advanced features are complimented by the best audio components available for a Bluetooth headset.
The Q2’s high quality speaker is precision tuned and tested in a professional sound studio, with advanced equalization to sculpt the sound and provide incredibly smooth incoming audio.
Combined with state-of-the-art noise elimination and intelligent adaptive controls, the Q2 offers mega clear, mega loud sound without distortion.
The best Bluetooth Handsfree set on the market today.
I remember a time when video cameras were pretty elite…aka pretty expensive.
I always imagined if I had a camera of my own, I would be like a young Spielberg, knocking out filmic gems on a regular basis.
Now, of course, video cameras are available at whatever budget. In various forms (I just counted), I have four different video recording possibilities at hand.
So what about my filmic masterpieces?
Is Spielberg getting worried?...
The difficulty I have had in the past is with video editing. Every program that comes with my video camera has probably been brilliant. But, it has also been very user un-friendly and complicated.
Well, no more! Serif’s MoviePlus X5 is the powerful digital video editing solution with easy-to-use tools and stunning studio-quality effects.
It’s so frustrating when you know that there is some great video, but it takes an age (and some serious skill) to edit it all in to one cohesive piece. MoviePlus X5 makes it easy.
MoviePlus X5 has clearly been designed for a technophobe. I am going to be bold and say even my old man could get the hang of things (that’s a massive statement!)
With on screen help and tutorials to guide you along and some very cool effects like noise and camera shake reduction, drag and drop editing….
There is a really easy convert to Youtube function as well as HD video to DVD.
The MoviePlus X5 has been designed to work with all video recording devices, so it is so easy to get things moving along.
I guarantee, 10 minutes of tinkering and you will be doing exactly what you want…every time.
With over 200 stunning effects and transitions, you will be making some awesome video content soon.
Forget Spielberg. There is an awesome green screen option for superimposing your actors onto any background. I’m now thinking of showing George Lucas what the first Star Wars should have been like!!!
10/10 rating.
When it comes to getting the right headphones, the choice is endless. Let’s narrow down that choice….
Jays Headphones offer a top range from in ear through to cans, the right headphones for you can be found here. So confident are Jays of their headphones, they offer a two year warranty and a 14 day money back guarantee.
Starting with the in ear a-JAYS, which come in at budget price for a-JAY one through to handsfree a-JAY four, you just cannot go wrong.
A wider frequency than your bog standard headphones, the a-JAYS give a superior clarity and a thumping bass.
The anti tangle cable (it works!) is a big step forward. Each set come with 5 pairs of rubber coated headphone tips.
The finish across the range is welcome too - matt black, deep high gloss black and black rubber coated. No matter which one you go for, they all look super sleek and ultra cool.
The v-JAYS are something different altogether. I do not know how Jays have done it, but these headphones are, well, mental!!!
The cans are not too big to be in your face. Design wise, these are how over ear heaphones should look. Ear mufflers they are not.
But it’s not about the look, it’s about the sound.
The very big sound.
Jays have said that when they created the v-JAYS, a new music legend was born.
I completely agree!
The sound is surprising on all of Jays headphones, nearly as surprising as the price.
These come highly recommended.
