Review: EasyAcc 2nd Gen Colorful 10000mAh Power Bank

I have used many portable chargers and this particular one from EasyAcc stands out as the best balance of capacity and portability. The charger itself is roughly the exact size of my iPhone 6 Plus and I found it extremely easy to tote around. There's easily enough for two full charges (from 0-100%) for the iPhone 6+ and then enough for about a half charge. For the iPhone 6 you should be able to eek out 4 full charges. On my iPad Air 2 I was able o charge it from 50% to 100% (screen off) pretty easily, I just did it overnight. You have to keep in mind that the phone is still drawing power while you are charging which is why you can't just simply divide out exactly. It's like filling smaller buckets with small leaks if that makes sense.

I like the colors and thin design. It's very attractive and easy to carry on the go. It may not be able to keep all your devices going over a weekend trip, but for a single day use this by far has the best balance of energy and portability. Highly recommended.

News: Microsoft HoloLens and Minecraft - A Match Made in Heaven

It's no secret to those who know me that I love Minecraft. I also love all things technology and one thing I have been keeping my eye on is VR (Virtual Reality). There are a lot of major players out there right now working on this technology as we speak: Sony, Microsoft, and Oculus Rift (owned by Facebook of all companies). One of these has stood out to me more recently and that is Microsoft's HoloLens.

The HoloLens was demonstrated running their recently acquired IP from Mojang game called Minecraft. Let's just say that the E3 demo impressed me, nay, made me drool. Minecraft and VR are a match made in heaven which made me wondering when I could run such a setup. Who wouldn't enjoy feeling like they were part of their Minecraft creations? I know I would! Enjoy the video below and leave your thoughts!

Review: Merit Sweatproof Bluetooth 4.1 Headset

The Merit Sweatproof Bluetooth 4.1 Headset is great value workout headphone. I've been using them for a little while now and have very much enjoyed using them. While I am no workout junkie by any stretch (seriously), I found them a pleasure to use. Here is a breakdown of the pros/cons:

 

Pros:

+ Easy bluetooth pairing. Couldn't test NFC pairing on my iPhone 6+.

+ Lightweight.

+ Sweatproof. (Mowing the lawn in 100+ degree weather counts.)

+ Cable perfect length.

+ Excellent battery life and fast charging.

+ Microphone works great.

Neutral:

= Sound isn't best in class, but definitely better than default Apple Earpods.

= Siri doesn't work super great, but I didn't expect it to.

Cons:

- Kind of big.

- Inserts are a little stiff.

Overall, given the price and features, this is an excellent value. If you're looking for an audiophile pair of bluetooth headphones then these are definitely not it, but that's not the target market. These are meant to be a simple, no-fuss bluetooth headphone that will last for a while and deliver your tunes while breaking a sweat. Highly recommended.
