arctis-3-btAnother day, another Bluetooth headset that has been unleashed on the market. What makes the SteelSeries Arctis 3 Bluetooth headset different from the other available models? For starters, this is a unique proposition as it offers a hybrid-like quality, allowing wired connectivity when it involves gaming, while a Bluetooth connection is called upon for just about everything else. This brand new headset is certainly revolutionary in such a technical make up, enabling chat or music connections via apps such as Discord over Bluetooth, at the same time receiving wired audio connections with PC or over a console like the PS4, Xbox and Nintendo Switch.

To be able to hear audio from both Bluetooth and wired sources simultaneously is certainly a unique feature for any headset. The thing is, will the person wearing it be able to make out all of the incoming audio cues? We do know that SteelSeries has specially designed the Arctis 3 Bluetooth to be your go-to pair of headphones when you game, as it offers remarkable sound quality, comfort and style regardless of the gaming platform that you are on, be it the PC, Mac, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, VR and yes, even mobile.

We like the fact that the Arctis 3 Bluetooth can be deemed to be perfect for the Nintendo Switch. With it, gamers are able to hook up their handsets via Bluetooth in order to take advantage of the Nintendo Switch Online chat mobile app. As for the wired connection, it will still be able to send game audio from the Nintendo Switch. Such flexible connectivity enables gamers to receive calls, join in on VoIP chats as well as stream music wirelessly via Bluetooth even when hearing balanced and powerful game audio using the 3.5mm connection. Expect the Arctis 3 Bluetooth headset to arrive with a recommended retail price of $129.99.

oska-pulseLiving a healthy life would also mean not experiencing unwanted pain regardless of what age you are. Some of us have no choice but to learn to cope with a life of pain, perhaps from an accident or injury, or as a result of sickness. Oska Wellness, a company that has committed to develop consumer health and wellness products, recently announced that they are making their Oska Pulse device available for purchase over on Amazon.com. The Oska Pulse comes across as a portable and wearable health tech pain relief device.

For people living with chronic and acute pain, the availability of Oska Pulse at the world’s foremost online retail outlet will offer additional access to our non-drug, non-invasive pain relief technology.”

As chronic pain currently affects over 100 million people annually, this is definitely one of the main factors that increases the chances of a widespread opioid epidemic.

Razer Phone: Bring it on!

razer-phoneWhen it comes to smartphones, there are many different tiers and models to choose from. Many of the working class would settle for a regular entry level to mid-range handset, but when you look at the flagship collection of smartphones from various manufacturers, that is when the drool starts to flow. Razer might be more famous for their collection of serious gaming peripherals and even the odd gaming laptop or two, but this time around, the company has decided to venture into the world of mobile entertainment through the Razer Phone.

What makes the Razer Phone special? For starters, it lays claim to being the handset with the world’s first 120Hz UltraMotion screen, which will also keep you entertained with Dolby Atmos audio technology and lightning-fast performance. Powered by Android 7.0 Nougat at launch, there will be an Android 8.0 Oreo update available when spring rolls around next year. Using the UltraMotion’s adaptive refresh technology, it will synchronize the GPU and display in order to remove image tearing or lag while driving efficient power usage. The 5.72-inch display happens to be a Quad HD IGZO LCD, where it offers vibrant and sharp images with a wide color gamut.

Your ears will be treated to true cinematic audio via front-firing speakers with dual dedicated amplifiers, while a THX-certified USB-C audio adapter with a 24-bit digital audio convertor (DAC) more or less guarantees continued audiophile-quality sound if you decide to plug in your favorite headphone. The Razer Phone will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset and accompanied by 8GB of RAM, a generous 4,000mAh battery, Qualcomm Quick Charge 4+ for rapid charging capability, and dual rear 12MP cameras, all fitted inside a thin aluminum body that measures 8mm. Expect it to retail for $699.99 a pop.

dkny-minuteWho would have thought that mainstream fashion label DKNY would end up churning out their very own smartwatch for the masses? Yet, this is exactly what happened, and the first smartwatch from them would be known as the DKNY Minute. Now available for interested parties, the asking price of the DKNY Minute stands at $155 and goes upwards from there. This is a representation of the dynamic synthesis of style and technology, where the latest hybrid smartwatch technology will work in tandem alongside a classic DKNY watch style. Oh yes, it is meant for the ladies only, so the men will have to sit out on the DKNY Minute.

Sporting the ability to synchronize to your smartphone through Bluetooth while using a dedicated smartwatch app, the DKNY Minute is able to provide you with the latest smartphone notifications through a range of vibration patterns and watch hand movements that will alert you of incoming calls, texts, and app notifications. Apart from that, it will also keep track of daily activity, distance, and calories burned. You are also able to gain full control of your music, snap a photo, or ring your handset with the push of a button, while fashionistas will love the fact that it has a pair of easy-to-remove straps that enables versatility in your watch look.

Since it runs off a coin cell battery, there is no need to worry about bringing around an additional charger, and you don’t have to lug around pesky cables either. The DKNY Minute is smart enough to automatically update the current time and date based on your location, while it keeps track of the hours of sleep you get each night. Arriving in three distinct looks, silver, gold, and rose gold-tone cases will be paired with black or white leather straps, or a red quilted strap. All styles come with an interchangeable quilted pinstripe silicone strap.
