Save The Environment – How to Make Big Differences with Small Actions at Home

World Environment Day is celebrated every 5
th
 of June to remind ourselves that everyone has a part to play in addressing the pressing environmental issues around us today.

With all that has happened over the past year, it is now more important than ever before to assure our present and our future. The time is now to put our commitments into action.

Sometimes, big changes start with small actions. Leaving a positive impact on the environment can start in the form of small things we do at home to the purchase decisions we make when buying devices. Here are 4 mini projects that you can easily embark on during World Environment Day that will help make a big difference:

1. Give used packaging a second lease of life

Packaging materials serve a crucial role of protecting a product from damage before it gets into the hands of consumers. But given the materials they are made of, product packaging has so much more to offer beyond the delivery and unpacking stage.

For years now, many of us have been reusing product packaging such as cardboard boxes for storage. However, with some ingenuity and the right stationery, cardboards can actually be redesigned into proper home furniture! Today, there are plenty of hobbyist websites that show you how to covert cardboards into amazing furniture such as chairs, tables and even playhouses.

Samsung’s Eco-Package, for instance, lets consumers convert their product packaging into functional and fun furniture such as shoe racks, mini coffee tables and even cat houses! All you need to do is cut out the packaging by following the printed dots and assemble the parts to create an amazing item! For more design inspiration, check out:
https://www.samsung-ecopackage.com/

2. Eliminate the (energy) vampire in your home

You might think that there is no energy consumption when a device is not in use or not plugged in. However, even when on ‘standby,’ most devices have main components that are still running, ready to use anytime.
This represents a major source of energy inefficiency. Standby power usage accounts for about 10% of the total power consumption of households, giving it the notorious nickname: “The Power Vampire”. As a consumer, you can play a part in reducing energy consumption by looking out for devices built to attain near-zero standby power instead.

Since 2012, Samsung has reduced the standby power consumption of flagship Galaxy devices’ chargers to address the problem of power waste. This has led to collective savings 13 million kilowatts (kW) of energy – equivalent to the energy output of 4.5 hydroelectric power plants!

Minimalist or Maximalist; with Samsung’s Bespoke Refrigerator, Everything is Possible
We have since applied this enhancement to the chargers of devices throughout our product range and are currently aiming to reduce the standby power consumption of chargers to zero.

3. Look out for innovative technology built on sustainability

Cutting-edge innovations
can be built
 with sustainability in mind. When making purchase considerations as a consumer, you can play a part in protecting the environment by looking out for sustainability practices and green features. Ultimately, when you are using a device with built-in sustainability features, you are not only helping the environment – you will most likely enjoy savings in the long run too!

At Samsung, our sustainability-based approach to innovation has transpired into many new devices with best-in-class sustainability features, including:

The
Solar cell-powered remote control
, which can be recharged through outdoor lighting or USB. Collectively, this will prevent the wastage of around 99 million AA batteries over the course of seven years.
Our flagship
AI Ecobubble™ washing machines
, which leverage AI to optimize water, detergent and wash cycles, cuts wash time by up to 50% and energy usage by 20% – going easy on the environment and utility bills!
The
Wind-Free™ Air Conditioner
, which reduces energy consumption by 77%.

4. Upcycle your old devices

New innovations within the consumer electronics space are being introduced at breakneck speeds. Understandably, you would be inclined to purchase the latest gadgets to better support your lifestyles at some point.

However, this doesn’t have to mark the end of the line for your existing devices! Instead of disposing an old device, give it a new lease of life through upcycling. With a little dose of creativity, you can give your old device a new job by using it for a completely different purpose.

Here are a few simple thought-starters to give your old smartphone a new lease of life:

Use it as a permanent in-car GPS
Use it as a security camera at home to monitor your children, pets or elderly parents via an app
Use it as a standalone music player by connecting to your favourite speakers
Use it as a bedside e-book reader

5. Inspire others and do your part for collective action

Ultimately, every single action counts towards a greater good and your environmental-friendly habits will go a long way to inspire those around you. Let’s make this World Environmental Day more than just a social media post!


Smartwatch Vs Fitness Tracker- 4 Ways to Choose

Smart-watch or a fitness tracker?
 If you do not know the difference, you might know that each device has its pros and cons. However, if you do not know which one you should buy? No worries! You will get all the information that can help you to buy the best device amongst the both. Although smartwatches and fitness trackers serve the same purpose, they track your steps, day-to-day routine, calories, and sleep. The smartwatch is a mobile phone on your wrist and allows you to check all messages and notifications from your phones. Several smartwatches come with a

1080p HD video camera

that offers 1080p video recording and audio recording. Coming back to the topic, below is the explanation of both devices that will help you to make an easy decision.

Why choose a smartwatch

If you want to keep a record of your daily fitness activities and stay updated with your mobile phone’s notifications, the smartwatch is the best device for you. Moreover, you can use its
1080p HD video camera
for crystal clear video and audio recording. You will see an independent button design for an accurate 1080p HD video recording
.
Smart-watch is more like a fashion-designed wristband that is compact and elegant. Smartwatches are preferred over the fitness tracker due to their multi-functionality and lots of memory to store your favorite movements.

Smart-watch allows you to see more details about your daily fitness activities without taking your phone out of your pocket. A bigger screen and a
1080p HD video camera
are two significant factors that will draw your attention. In addition, most of the devices are packed with sensors, technology to measure your daily activities such as swimming, running, and great outdoors.

Other considerable smartwatch features include:

Altimeter

It uses your GPS and tells you that how high you are standing or running from sea level. It helps in locating yourself on a map.

Barometer

Shows the changes in weather so that you know about weather conditions. Several watches have a smart alert that warns you if a storm is coming.

The high-resolution
 1080p HD video camera
gives you the pleasure of recording HD video and audio for tracking your progress.

Navigation

A smartwatch is a multi-skilled device, and it contains a never-ending list of features. That includes GPS and a compass map that helps save memories of the tracks you have used while exercising.

Running Metrics

Apart from having
a 1080p HD video camera,
the smartwatch also contains running metrics such as pace, cadence, elevation, daily workout, and an explanation of insights into your performance and recovery time. Moreover, the smartwatch is also great at measuring your heart rate; the measurement is more accurate than the measurement of a fitness tracker.

Cons of a smartwatch

Smartwatches are comparatively expensive, and not everybody can afford to buy them. The brands, which offer smartwatches, include OS and Apple. These brands provide costly watches, but their battery timing is excessively low compared to fitness trackers. Therefore, you need to charge it for hours if you want to use it for just a few minutes.

Why choose an intelligent tracker

A tracker can give you insight into your daily activities and tracking your steps. If you go on an advanced level, you might be served with some extra features such as cycling and swimming. The next level of the tracker includes some eye-catching features like monitoring heart rate and text notifications.

Fitness tracker pros and cons

Pros

Modern fitness trackers are available at affordable prices. You can get your fitness tracker for just £40. This type of intelligent fitness tracker suits you if you are on a budget. These models are designed by considering the comfort for users. Therefore, you can wear it all day without any problems.

Cons

The smart trackers come in different sizes and features. If you buy a reasonable smart tracker, you will get many benefits. However, sometimes these smart trackers understate the data and cause real pain. So, if you want to have top of the line


SoCrwd, Bringing The Best of the Offline World To The Comfort Of Your Own Home

The first of its kind app in Malaysia, SoCrwd is a Social Crowd on a Virtual Platform

SoCrwd, Malaysia’s first-of-its-kind application is a unique avatar based virtual world with fully customizable characters and endless possibilities in an environment built to mimic life in the real world. As its name implies, SoCrwd allows the gathering of a social crowd on a virtual platform created specially for public events to take place in a more creative manner, especially during these uncertain times.

“More than a year has gone by since Covid-19 first started and the pandemic has affected many brands globally with many live events, both major and minor, either being called-off or postponed, creating a market gap for the requirements of a virtual event platform. This is where SoCrwd comes in. The creation of a virtual world application with endless possibilities for marketing efforts, campaigns and events without the worry of the current circumstances and violating SOPs, whilst benefiting brands and consumers. SoCrwd hopes to provide brands, businesses and talents the necessary tools to not only sustain, but to grow as well,”
said Ken Chai, Chief Executive Officer of Ad-Nology Labs
.

The virtual world has been around for a while but brands have yet to tap into the gamification and marketing aspects of it in Malaysia. SoCrwd is a virtual platform that gamifies the experience for consumers through the addition of avatars, points, interactables and sociables, all of which are set in a creative environment built to facilitate a fun, engaging experience and a seamless transition from the offline world to the online world. The social features of the application allows consumers to connect with other users, while conducting daily activities such as meeting with friends, attending their favorite event, virtually visiting a branded concept store and more.

Whereas for the business segment, SoCrwd is more than just a platform for virtual events. SoCrwd envisions a virtual platform for customers to visit their favourite car showroom, bank branches, property galleries, concept stores, exhibitions, concerts, bazaars, events, conferences and many more, bringing the best of the offline world to the comfort of the homes of your customers which will also help reduce the spread of the virus. Additionally, SoCrwd provides companies the ability to host marketing, branding and business activities while being able to network, share name cards and company profiles, virtually. Ideally, it is fully customisable to the needs of the brands and consumers.

“There are a lot of one off virtual events websites and applications, but what we have built through SoCrwd is a content driven virtual platform for brands, businesses and consumers. We also want to create more opportunities for content creators, working with different industries, especially the creative and events industry, to allow for the creation of interesting consumer-centric content, experiences and events that keep consumers coming back for more,”
added Ken.

The launch of the app sees two well known brands in their league come together to bring the idea to life. Ad-Nology Labs, a branding and execution based marketing firm with focus on the forever generation, well known for bringing Malaysia’s favourite pop-up market, Artbox, and Magnus Games Studio, a Malaysian indie game developer behind Re: Legend, the most crowdfunded game in Malaysia in 2017.

“When presented the idea by Ad-Nology Labs, we were sold and knew that we had to develop SoCrwd for both businesses and consumers,”
said DC Gan, Managing Director of Magnus Games Studio
. He added, “As both, a gamer and game developer, we were determined to design the platform with loads of fun elements injected into it to prevent it from being dull and boring”.

SoCrwd is designed to add fun while being engaging at the same time as it is more than just a game. Through a collaborative working lifestyle, Magnus Games Studio’s team of developers focused on developing SoCrwd as an application that caters to consumers’ ever evolving needs.

The virtual world allows people to complete many activities online, in the most advanced and engaging way possible. Instead of brands having a dull web page with a purchase button, SoCrwd will design the entire layout of a store to engage with consumers and give them a good and unique user experience. SoCrwd encourages “Cross-Reality” branding campaigns such as merging online and offline events where consumers have the opportunity to play games on SoCrwd and reap their rewards through certain perks with the brand offline, and vice versa.

“We are not trying to create a temporary solution for events, but a complement to on-ground social events in the future as we move deeper into the digital age. We will  continuously be working on developing the platform as we go to make sure that we provide new and improved features with every learning and discovery we come across,” Ken continued to say.

Pricing and Availability

This new application will be available for download at no cost to the consumer. Additionally, there are no in-app purchases involved to join and participate in the public spaces of the virtual world. SoCrwd is now available to both Android and iOS users in Malaysia whereby users can login and complete daily missions for coins, customise avatars, host public and private rooms for friends or a larger gathering, join public spaces to meet other people and explore new worlds. In the next few months, users will be able to enjoy other features which will be available in phases. SoCrwd will begin exploring neighbouring countries in the near future.

3 Ways to Recycle Your Laptop Ethically

Some of us may not like what we see when we look at the world today. How many problems like pollution and destruction of natural resources could have been prevented if people simply considered the consequences of their choices? But how often do each of us consider the small decisions that may have a big impact. This is just one reason to think twice before discarding your IT equipment.

If it’s a laptop that’s currently cluttering your home, don’t simply add it to the week’s garbage. Instead use a
free e-waste pickup and recycling vendor
 to declutter office and home devices. If more people decide to sell or recycle old laptops and computer parts ethically, it could limit the amount of unnecessary waste that’s out there in landfills. For ethical and environmental reasons, use the following guidelines from now on.

Before You Recycle: Read This

Recycling laptops ethically does require some planning. This is to protect both you and others.

Always Consider Privacy and Data Protection

Never simply pass your laptop on without first considering the existing data and software. To protect your privacy,
properly format the device
 first. You also don’t want the next user accessing someone else’s information that’s perhaps stored on your computer.

Communicate Your Policy to Relevant Parties

If you’re recycling a company laptop it’s smart to share your plans publicly. Your clients may want to know how you go about disposing of devices that at some point contained their details. They may also appreciate your concern for the environment, so a notification on your website will do well for your reputation.

3 Practical Ways of Recycling IT Equipment

Find an Alternative Purpose for it

A laptop you no longer need may be exactly what someone else requires for personal or business application. Ask your family and friends if anyone needs it. You may change someone’s life, even if it’s an older model.

Or why not turn it into a tech device instead of buying a new gadget? A laptop can become a server at home, so you have practical storage space. This gives everyone a safe place to store their data and you won’t have to clutter your new laptop with all that information. Or, make the laptop a hotspot to improve everyone’s Wi-Fi access in your home or office.

Donate to a Good Cause

Even old laptops whose software you can no longer update could have value for someone. One option is to hear whether your local library can have it refurbished to help with their activities like learning programs. They could use it to teach underprivileged individuals new skills.

You’ll also find charity organizations that collect old IT equipment. They use it to help millions of people in the developing world gain access to technology and so improve lives. This can be to create digital schools in remote places and empower students—something that became especially important because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Your laptop can also help businesses and other charity organizations in these countries get the tech resources they need to operate.

An advantage here is that some of these organizations will help you with data-wiping, giving you peace of mind that it’s done correctly.

Laptops Stay Valuable

These days there’s an easy solution for many of life’s challenges, if you just know where to look. There are people offering their services to perform tedious tasks on your behalf, so you don’t have to go to much effort yourself. This is the case with laptop reuse services. These entities will buy your laptop from you, so there’s no need for you to waste time trying to find buyers. The laptop won’t end up in a dumpster and you have the bonus of earning some money.

Companies offering to buy your laptop will format and repair them, ensuring they’ll have some use for the next owner. They can then resell them to third parties who don’t want to buy new.

This is an excellent way for businesses to become more environmentally friendly. You’ll lose no time trying to find buyers for old equipment, but you can earn a welcome sum by selling those laptops in bulk the moment they’re too outdated to benefit your brand.

Be an Ethical Consumer: What Will You Buy Next?

It’s a great first step to ensure your IT equipment will be
reused or recycled ethically
 but don’t stop there. Also take a moment to think about your next purchase—buying a device to replace your old laptop. Some brands are on a mission to do less harm so they have revised manufacturing processes, their supply chains and the impact the device itself will have. Look for products from manufacturers that promise the following:

No toxic components

Doing away with excessive product packaging

Devices that draw less power from the grid

Using recycled products in new devices

You can use it for longer before any hardware upgrade will be necessary

Conclusion

It takes a little effort, but the rewards are great when you find a more ethical way to recycle your laptop. You can do the same with mobile devices and even your old camera. Let’s all be part of the solution, so we can start seeing fewer problems around us.

For instance, if different departments aren’t communicating on-going processes during production, this can result in more errors. When there are more errors, more tasks are done or revised, which will take more time, money, and effort.

That being said, business communication is vital for your company’s success and employees’ happiness. Read on to find out what business communication is and why businesses should ensure they have excellent business communication in the workplace.

WHAT IS BUSINESS COMMUNICATION?

Business communication is the process of communicating either face to face or virtually to prevent misunderstandings in the office. Business communication is crucial especially if you’re operating a company with hundreds or thousands of employees. Whether you’re running a huge retail store or
top advertising agencies
, encouraging open communication within your employees is the key to better business practices.

The primary aim of business communication is to ensure that everyone is kept in the loop. This is to prevent miscommunication, enhance business practices, instill company culture and values, and more importantly, to keep employees informed with company news and updates.

If employees and higher-ups aren’t communicating with one another, the company will fall to pieces. Some basic tasks that are supposedly done quickly can take more time than usual. Your schedules and deadlines are not maintained, which will also affect all departments in the company. Also, without business communication, the tasks and assigned roles aren’t clear. Last but not least, when higher-ups and employees aren’t communicating openly, this can decrease everyone’s morale.

5 REASONS WHY BUSINESS COMMUNICATION IS ESSENTIAL

So if you feel like your employees aren’t as productive as before, then maybe it’s time to get them to speak up. Or you may also start communication with them to know what’s keeping them down. Here are five reasons why business communication is essential in every company.

6 Steps to Protect Your Ecommerce Site Against Cyber Threats

1. Make goals and expectations clear

You want to make sure that everyone in the organization knows what their goals are and what is expected of them. Some people tend to have high expectations from others, without even telling the person involved what the expectations are. This can lead to misunderstandings. Make sure that you set clear goals and expectations right off the bat.

2. Earn clients’ trust

Business communication isn’t only used within the company. It’s also for third-party communication to foster client relationships. If you’re not transparent with your clients, then you may lose their trust. Over time, your clients may lose interest as well. Keeping your clients in the loop will earn their trust and confidence.

3. Boost employee morale

What good is a company if the employees aren’t really working productively? Always make sure that you prioritize your employees by encouraging them to speak up. Let them express their feedback, complaints, and whatnot. Listen to them by considering their suggestions and ideas.

4. Keep everything organized

Imagine an organization that doesn’t encourage conversations among several departments. Every process isn’t updated and employees won’t know if they’re on the right track or not. That being said, business communication is critical to ensure that everything is organized. Running a business means having to oversee different departments, tasks, and processes. And communication is the only way to achieve a seamless workflow.

5. Evolve the company

A company stays stagnant if people stay in their comfort zones. If they don’t try to think outside the box, your brand can get left behind the competition. That said, try to brainstorm new and crazy ideas to forge the business forward. Ask employees what their recent ideas and suggestions are and work from there.

HealthConnect app need improvements

ASUS Malaysia

It’s 2021 and we are more health conscious than ever. Since the pandemic started in 2020, I see many of my friends are getting more worried about their health. I have friends who asked me about smartwatches and fitness bands these days. Since I have been reviewing those items lately, there are a few watches and bands that I have recommended but what I’m about to review here is something better.

ASUS VivoWatch SP is made for the health conscious individuals out there. It is a full blown health tracker and so far it is one of the most accurate heart rate monitors out there. Functions aside, the ASUS VivoWatch SP also looks great. I simply love the look and design of the ASUS VivoWatch SP, making it suitable to wear while working out or simply going out for a fancy dinner. It has a sporty look and at the same time, it’s elegant.

So here’s my full review on the ASUS VivoWatch SP.

First Look

I’m quite surprised that the ASUS VivoWatch SP came in a rather large box. But it’s a nice box. Inside, you will immediately be greeted by the ASUS VivoWatch SP itself. It wowed me because I didn’t expect to see it immediately but the feeling was good. I simply love the watch strap. It is made of soft medical grade silicone and I especially love the clasp.

Okay, there are more items to check out in the box. Beneath the watch, you can find an extra watch strap. Since the ASUS VivoWatch SP comes with a quick release strap, you can easily replace it with your strap of choice. But I very much prefer this strap because it looks and feels good. Also to note, the replacement strap is shorter, that means those with smaller wrist will be able to use this to have the perfect fit. How thoughtful.

There’s also the charger and cable. Of all the smartwatches that I’ve reviewed, the ASUS VivoWatch SP has the most unique looking charger. It uses a clip-on type. The clip hangs on to the watch so you will have to take off the watch in order to charge it. But the charging time is quite short. To get from 10% up to 100% takes less than an hour. And the 200mAh battery can last for about 4 days on full use and a week or so on standby.

Right at the bottom of the box are the warranty info and the user manual. This is probably the thickest user manual that I have ever seen for a smartwatch. So much info available to get you started. When it’s this thick, you will know that the ASUS VivoWatch SP has so many functions.

Back to the watch itself. The ASUS VivoWatch SP has a rounded face and the casing is made of matte aluminium. Around the top edges, it is reinforced with stainless steel to give it a more premium look. On the right side of the case, you can find the PPG (Photoplethysmography) sensor at the top and a single button at the 4 o’clock position. On the left side, there’s the metal ECG sensor to aid the sensor at the back of the watch to read your heartbeat. More on this later.

Now at the back of the watch, you can find the sensor right in the middle with a metal plate surrounding it. This metal plate helps in detecting your heartbeat when the watch is reading your pulse. And then the right side of the sensor is where the charging pins are located.

Now we have a look at the display. At first glance, it looks like it has a full rounded watch face but when you turn on the watch, you can see that it has the “flat tyre” design. It means that the bottom part of the rounded circle is straight, making it look like a flat tyre on a car. This doesn’t bother me at all. In fact, I hardly notice it.

The ASUS VivoWatch SP is using a high-reflective colour LCD display. If you’ve been using those cheaper smartwatches that come with LCD or OLED screen displays, you may not like the display on this ASUS VivoWatch SP at first. Let me tell you what I think of this display.

High-reflective colour LCD displays are not meant to be bright and sharp. On the upside, it is extremely power efficient. It is best used outdoors where it’s bright and sunny. The display is really good under direct sunlight or in bright areas. How many times have you experienced looking at your OLED display smartwatch but you’re unable to see the display properly due to the glare? Well thanks to the high-reflective LCD on the ASUS VivoWatch SP, that problem is eliminated.

While indoors or in low light areas, you can still see the display clearly – thanks to the backlight that lit up when needed. There are 5 levels of screen brightness that you can choose from. I set it at number 2. But I honestly prefer to use the ASUS VivoWatch SP when I’m outdoors. Which also means I can be active and go for a jog to keep my health in check.

Now that’s another great function with the ASUS VivoWatch SP.

Health/Fitness Tracking and Functions

First and foremost, the ASUS VivoWatch SP is made with health in mind. ASUS VivoWatch SP is a great wearable health tracker that also offers 24/7 health and fitness monitoring functions. It works hand-in-hand with the ASUS HealthConnect App that you can and should install on your mobile device. The app will sync all your health and fitness data from the watch to track your daily activities and health monitoring.

The 3 sensors available on the ASUS VivoWatch SP works really well. In my opinion, the sensor on the ASUS VivoWatch SP worked better than some of the smartwatches and trackers that I’ve reviewed recently. The overall reading is more accurate.

Health functions that are available on the ASUS VivoWatch SP are heart rate monitor, Pulse O2 sensor to calculate the oxygen level in your blood, Body Harmony Index to get the body’s sympathetic and parasympathetic response to show your stress level and sleep quality monitor. Other features like activity tracker for your daily fitness can also be monitored.

You can access all these functions from the watch itself. The watch will be on standby after a minute of idle, which means the screen will be locked to avoid any accidental touches. Simply press the side button to unlock the screen and you’re good to go.

Swiping left or right on the screen is quite responsive. There are 10 screens in total, each has its own up or down swipe to access more options for that feature. Like when I swipe to the left screen, it shows the PTT reading function. Swiping up will reveal the last reading I did with more details to it. Same goes with the Body Harmony, Pulse O2 and Heart Rate monitor features.  Basically, every single screen has its own up and down swipe options.

To use the health tracker function is pretty simple. First you have to wear the watch (duh). And then you swipe towards the function you want, say the PTT. At this point, you will have to also place your right index finger on the PPG sensor (top right side of the watch) and your right thumb on the metal ECG sensor. This will aid the rear sensor to give a more accurate reading of your heart rate, pulse and so on. Just wait for it to reach 100% on the display and you’re done. This data will also sync on the phone app so you can easily track your reading on a daily or hourly basis.

Using the ASUS VivoWatch SP is very straightforward. What you see on screen is what you’re getting. You can easily and quickly select any functions to use. If you’re going outdoors for a jog, just swipe the screen to the exercise screen, select outdoor or indoor and you’re good to go. You don’t have to actually select a certain activity to get started. Another great feature when using outdoor exercise feature is that it can also track your GPS location. Location is quite accurate.

Unfortunately during this MCO lockdown period, I am unable to take the ASUS VivoWatch SP out for any activities as I am also working from home. It would be nice to take it out for a jog or even hiking at a mountain range. Since the ASUS VivoWatch SP also comes with a gravity sensor, GPS and altimeter, it would be great to be at the high ground to fully test it out. Maybe next time.

Another feature that you will get on the ASUS VivoWatch SP is the notification. Just like many and all the other smartwatches, the ASUS VivoWatch SP is able to receive phone notifications as well. You can see all your messages and emails easily but you cannot reply directly from the watch itself. It will only let you see the message, no more. That is fine by me because I dislike replying to any message from the watch itself. Too many typos in my experience.

As for the watch faces, there are 8 watch faces that you can choose from. At least you won’t be spoiled by too many choices like I had with some other smartwatches. Needless to say, some of the available watch faces are quite nice and informative.

Conclusion

I simply love the ASUS VivoWatch SP. I love the premium look to it, I love how it feels on my wrist and I love the health tracker features. The accuracy of the health tracker is by far one of the best I’ve used.

Some people may not like the reflective LCD display on the ASUS VivoWatch SP. I’m sure most of the current smartwatch enthusiasts would go for the more modern OLED display for that gorgeous vibrant colour display but I honestly love the reflective LCD. Best of all, the reflective LCD uses less battery power so the ASUS VivoWatch SP battery can last much, much longer.

My only qualm is the ASUS HealthConnect app. The setup is good. I can also sync and connect the ASUS VivoWatch SP to my phone without any hiccups. But I am unable to keep the connection intact. I mean, most of the time the watch gets disconnected and I have to manually reconnect again. I think ASUS really need to address this issue quickly. I understand that they are aware of this problem and probably fixing it now. So I’ll wait for the app update.

So who is this watch for? If you’re a health conscious person who needs to keep your health in check, this watch is definitely for you. The heart rate tracking function works really well. And you will also love the premium look of the watch itself when it’s on your wrist. Extremely comfortable for me, and should be for you too.

Being an audiophile myself, I am quite particular about audio quality when it comes to music. First of all, I love a good solid bass that doesn’t break at high volume. Secondly, the clarity of the vocals and high notes have to be crispy clear. That is for music. And I am looking for the same exact quality when it comes to gaming as well.

Enter the Blitzwolf BW-GH2 Gaming Headphone. I am quite surprised at the sound quality produced by this product. It is an over-the-ear type of headphone with a thick and comfortable sponge that eliminates ambient noise. So far I have reviewed a few products by Blitzwolf and none have disappointed me yet.

I got my
Blitzwolf BW-GH2 Gaming Headphone
 from Banggood.com website. If you have been following my recent reviews, I have got quite a few products from Banggood and I am very happy with the speed and reliability. If you don’t already know, Banggood.com is a China based IT and gadgets e-commerce store that have a plethora of awesome products that you can get your hands on. They also have many ongoing offers and discounts so you can save a few bucks. It’s totally worth it.

Now back to my Blitzwolf BW-GH2 Gaming Headphone review.

First Look

The Blitzwolf BW-GH2 Gaming Headphone came in a large minimalist box. It is packed neatly and there were only a few bumps on the box upon arrival. Everything inside the box was unharmed. As I pulled out the headphone from the box, I realised how soft it felt. I mean, the sponge for the over-the-ear piece is thick and soft. That was the first thing I grabbed.

The build quality is solid and yet it doesn’t feel heavy. I received the black version and it has a nice gold trimming around the headphone. The part that goes over the head is made of plastic and the bottom part is made of soft silicone. This is also a foldable type headphone. This is done by rotating the earpiece inwards for easy storage in a narrow compartment.

The large earpiece diameter made it comfortable to wear. It covers my whole ear on each side, and that feels super comfortable too. With the soft sponge being thick, it does eliminate any ambient noise so all you can hear is the sound that comes out from the speaker. The outer shell is made of hard plastic and it’s quite durable with the Blitzwolf logo printed on both sides.

This particular model doesn’t come with an AUX connector, so I can’t test it on my phone. It uses a USB type-A connector and is made to be used with a gaming PC or laptop. But, I am still able to connect this headphone to my phone via the USB type-C port to a USB type-A female adapter. I have tested this and it works really well.

On the audio cable, there’s a controller apparatus that enables me to control the volume, mute the mic/speaker and to turn the rainbow LED lights on or off. Yes, this thing goes light up to give that awesome gaming feel to it. The LED light will illuminate a colourful rainbow like colours and it changes continuously. A very cool touch to this Blitzwolf BW-GH2 Gaming Headphone.

The Blitzwolf BW-GH2 Gaming Headphone also comes with a detachable microphone. It connects to the headphone on the left earpiece via an AUX connector. The mic piece also has a LED light on it.

Audio Quality

Now it comes to the part where I fully test the audio quality of this Blitzwolf BW-GH2 Gaming Headphone. First test will be music audio.

For music, I use Spotify Premium and I set the audio quality to the highest maximum bitrate. I have a few songs that I have chosen for the test. I start with Enter Sandman by Metallica because it has a strong deep drum bass at the beginning and good high notes throughout the song.

I set the volume to high. I did this to “feel” the drum bass and also to check if there’s any break or cracking sound from the headphone when it handles loud bass. First impression when the music started was good for me. It was loud and clear. When the drum bass kicks in, I got rather excited because there were no such sound breaks or cracks to it. It feels solid. The bass is strong and the high notes are super clear. And no ambient noise was heard (it was raining when I tested it).

I moved on to the next song by Alan Walker and Avicii. This time I’m going more towards something faster with more beats. And to my satisfaction, I enjoyed the music even more. I have always been more of a R&B and HipHop music guy but lately I turn to enjoy more upbeat music. The solid bass is on point and the clarity is crystal. At this point, I played some strong vocal music like the ones by Ed Sheeran, Teddy Swims, Queen (Bohemian Rhapsody) and a few others. I love the overall experience and I think the Blitzwolf BW-GH2 Gaming Headphone is well made to ensure good audio quality.

Let’s move on to gaming, what it is meant to be.

I don’t have any PC games installed, so for gaming I can only connect the headphone to my phone via the USB type-C to type-A adapter. Like I said earlier, this works too. I have also tried streaming Spotify music from my phone with the same setup and it still delivers awesome audio, just like the PC.

The game that I play on my phone is PUBG Mobile. And as usual, I have my own group of friends that I play squad with. This is when I am able to fully test the sound quality and microphone. All my audio settings for PUBG Mobile are on full HD, set to the highest audio quality. For games like PUBG Mobile, I need a good audio device to hear movements and the surroundings. And most of the pro and hardcore players rely on a good headphone/earphone to play the game well. Audio quality can determine whether you win or lose.

Let’s just say that I can’t stop playing when I use the Blitzwolf BW-GH2 Gaming Headphone. The audio quality is superb. I can hear even the faintest sound from a distance to let me know where the enemies are and how they are moving. The Blitzwolf BW-GH2 Gaming Headphone handles the surround pretty well. I can easily tell when an enemy is near and their movements. If the sound of their footsteps is on the left, it means they are on the left, and so on.

The microphone sounds loud and clear too, and what my teammates told me. They are able to hear my voice as if I’m next to them. This is also a vital part of the game, to communicate and to coordinate our own movements. Even the audio latency is kept to zero since this is a wired headphone.

Another game that I play with the Blitzwolf BW-GH2 Gaming Headphone is Genshin Impact. I love the audio sound from this game. It has awesome environmental sound effects and the melodic background music is very soothing. Using this headphone enhanced all that. It even picks up the surrounding sounds in the game, which let me immerse more into the game, like I’m right there in the game itself.

I absolutely love this headphone. No doubts about it. If you’re thinking of getting one for yourself, I highly recommend the Blitzwolf BW-GH2 Gaming Headphone.

Conclusion

I had so much fun listening to music and playing a few games with the Blitzwolf BW-GH2 Gaming Headphone. From now on, I’m never going back to my normal earphone because the whole experience between the two is a world apart.

It is true that when you’re playing any games, using a wireless earphone is utterly useless because of the high latency. You need a reliable wired earphone or headphone in order to fully enjoy the game. But the Blitzwolf BW-GH2 Gaming Headphone just blew it out of the water. Sure there are many others out there, even better ones. But those better ones are expensive and you will have to dig deeper into your wallet to buy one. The Blitzwolf BW-GH2 Gaming Headphone is affordable. You will get your money worth and still get the audio quality that you crave for.

But I do have one disfavour with the Blitzwolf BW-GH2 Gaming Headphone. Just one. Since the sponge is thick, I do sweat a little bit around my ears after an hour of having it on. Malaysia has a tropical climate. So heat and humidity is abundant. Be sure to use it in an air-conditioned room so that you will feel comfortable using it. The headphone can also be used as an earmuff during cold weather or in winter, if we have it. Jokes aside, the comfort level is still good.

So if you’re thinking of getting one for yourself, head over to
Banggood.com website
 for purchase. The Blitzwolf BW-GH2 Gaming Headphone is currently on sale for
US$31.99
. You can also get the normal AUX connection type instead of USB for a cheaper price.
