OVEVO Q65 Bluetooth Earbuds - First Impressions

On the recommendation of my eldest son, I ordered a pair of these budget earphones. They cost £32 including postage from Amazon, although you can get them for less at geekbuying.

Two weeks later they arrived. The packaging is smart and the (tiny) instruction leaflet is adequate (I made a PDF of it, downloadable here).

Getting them out of the charging case is a fiddly experience, but once removed they automatically pair with one another. You then connect them to a Bluetooth device in the usual way.

The standard buds are a good fit for my ears, and they come with a small and large set as well. The earbuds are unobtrusive and as comfortable as any others I've used, although I do prefer over-ear headphones. The sound quality is at least as good as the standard Apple wired earphones, and the volume can go loud enough to compete with most environments.

For more information/images, click here, although I would take the battery life/water resistance claims with a large pinch of salt.

FUELL Fluid 1 Electric Bike

Gadget Define reports: [edited]

Harley-Davidson’s former engineer Erik Buell’s company Fuell has introduced two premium electric bikes, Fluid 1 and Fluid 1s.

The Fluid 1 has a 250W hub-mounted motor (32kph, there is an EU-legal version limited to 25kmh), the Fluid 1s has a 500W motor (45kmh). Both bikes are available in two frame sizes and a range of colour options and accessories. Both models come with two 500Wh lithium batteries.

On a single charge both bikes give up to 200km of riding range. The bike also comes with a 4 Amp Charger which takes the batteries to 80% in 2.5 hrs and 100% in 5.

Both bikes sport carbon belt drive, Shimano Alfine 8-speed internal hub gears, front suspension and hydraulic disk brakes. There is an LCD panel which can be paired with your smartphone.

Starting price: $2,699

Sony Walkman turns 40

What Hi-Fi reports: [edited]

Portable radios filled pockets in the 1950s, but when the first Sony Walkman personal stereo cassette player, the TPS-L2, went on sale for $150 on 1 July 1979, it would change the way we listened to music.

The Walkman was a modified version of its Pressman mono cassette recorder, which Sony had launched in 1978 and marketed to reporters. Sony chairman, Akio Morita, wanted a device to listen to opera on his trans-Pacific flights, so Sony engineer Nobutoshi Kihara removed the record function and speaker and replaced it with a stereo amplifier.

The TPS-L2 launched as the 'Soundabout' in America, the 'Stowaway' in the UK and 'Freestyle' in Australia and Sweden. But in Japan it was 'Walkman', and that’s the name that stuck.

Sony stopped selling the Walkman in 2010, the same year they stopped selling floppy discs, having sold 200,020,000 Walkman cassette players, and 400 million Walkmans of all variations.
