Go Wireless with Creative ZiiSound D5 Bluetooth Music Speaker

Friday, May 21st, 2010 by samuel

Creative ZiiSound D5 Wireless Bluetooth Music Speaker System in one of the latest products from Creative production line. Now at Apple Bazaar. Grab it First, While Stock Last!

Wireless Music System That Delivers Pure Audio

Recently we posted about Creative Inspire S2 Wireless 2.1 here. This ZiiSound D5 adapts Inspire S2 award-winning Bluetooth technology into a better wireless audio system. Measuring at 42.5 x 11 x 9cm, it is basically a rectangular box design that appears lifted at an angle. The body is covered in mesh fabric, with both right and left end sides in metal plates. At the center of the box is a band where the touch controls reside – the volume and “connect” controls.

Glide your finger and control the volume

ZiiSound D5 main advantages are its high quality technology coupled with compactness in sleek contemporary design that helps you save space without having to compromise style and quality bass audio. The music system incorporates efficient bass port at the sides of speaker so you don’t need to get that separated subwoofer.

Although geared towards an iPod / iPhone / iPad (any Apple devices with dock connector) speaker dock, it can also be paired with Bluetooth enabled device, so your notebook and mobile phones could be used with ZiiSound too. It is fully wireless.

There are two modes to control the volume. The first one is using the subtle touch surface on the unit’s top, at the center, that lets you change the volume. The second method is by using the included Bluetooth transmitter with the iPod, iPhone, or iPad, so that they can control speaker’s audio and volume wirelessly. With the transmitter attached, you can also plug an iPhone or iPod into the aforementioned dock for charging purposes. While docking, the device will appear to float above the surface of the speaker. It is such a pretty sight.

Beside being a remote control, the Bluetooth transmitter empowers your Apple Device with “freedom of movement” as it no longer needs to be physically docked to the system to enjoy your music. It also gives ease of use as you simply need to switch on the speakers, plug the transmitter into your iPod, and that is it, connection instantly made.

The D5 does a good job of projecting your music into the room, giving a wider sound stage than you might expect and with punchy bass giving depth to tracks where lesser iPod docks can be found lacking.

Get Inspired With Creative Inspire S2 Wireless 2.1 Bluetooth Speakers

Thursday, May 20th, 2010 by samuel

Creative Inspire S2 Wireless 2.1 Bluetooth Speaker System has arrived at Apple Bazaar. Here is a little review on it. Grab it fast, while stock last.

Free Your Music with Wireless Audio

It is so tiny

The Inspire S2′s cube-shaped subwoofer measure at 23.2 cm x 18 cm x 20 cm and it is compact enough to be placed neatly on or under your desk. The subwoofer tower is black while the two tiny satellites are white with black cloth grille covers. The satellites are so small you’ll barely notice them sitting on a desk.

On the right speaker, there are a headphone and an auxiliary input for connecting other audio devices such as music phones or portable video players. There’s also a power button and volume controls that double as the Bluetooth pairing buttons: you hold down the volume up button for a few seconds to put the speakers in pairing mode.

Right satellite inputs and buttons

Although it is wireless, the satellites are still connected to the subwoofer using the supplied cable. The wireless capability comes from the connection between the speaker system and your bluetooth device.  Place the speakers in a fixed location and connect your laptop to the speakers with the USB Bluetooth transmitter and get the freedom of moving your laptop around the room, without having to be tied down by your speakers. Being bluetooth speakers also means you can pair many mobile phones and even iPhone and iPod Touch to the speakers to enjoy louder bass audio. You could adjust the bass level with a knob at the back of the subwoofer to fit your bass needs.

Overall this is a compact bluetooth speakers system that you may find as a good value for money. Despite its relatively small size its audio power and quality does not dissapoint.

The Travel & Electricity Issue

Thursday, May 6th, 2010 by Lena

It’s Electric! by Tom T, on Flickr

If you are a frequent traveler, then there are times that you bring your own electrical appliances with you.  Normally, these would be your hair dryer, shaver, curling iron or hair straightener.  You might also bring some gadgets along like your mobile phone, mp3 player, a portable video game console or laptop.  Were there instances when you did not get to use these items at all because the power sockets in your place of destination did not match your plugs?  That would have been extremely frustrating, especially if you needed to get some work done straight away.  Your gadgets would have just become dead weight on your luggage!

Sure, it is easy to just buy a local adapter to fix this problem.  But what if you are in a remote place?  At times when you have had the good sense of bringing your own travel adapter, isn’t it even more frustrating to find out that you have brought the wrong one?  How unlucky!

Then there is also the opposite situation.  Have you ever brought home an American or Japanese appliance and without checking the manual in your excitement, plugged it straight into the wall socket?  Now, unless your wall sockets only run on 120 volts, then that must have been an awesome fireworks display – complete with smoke and electrical sparks.

Most people have experienced either of the above at one point or another and it is definitely a big hassle, if you are not familiar with the places you are going to.

The reason why these things happen is because there is no global standard when it comes to line voltage and frequency.  Some areas have adapted the standards of their neighboring countries, such as several countries in Europe.

So what should you keep in mind in order to use your appliances when going abroad?  Here are a few tips and tricks.

The first thing you need to do before you leave for the airport is to check the voltage capacity of your device or appliance.  If it covers “100-240V, 50/60 Hz,” then you are pretty much covered.  All you will need then is to bring a travel adapter, to match the wall sockets with your plug at your destination.

There are mainly three widely used plugs in the world.  These are the Type A or American plug with two vertical pins, the Type G or British plug with 3 rectangular pins and the Type C or European plug with two round pins. There are also Type I or Australian plug with 2 flat pins formed like upside down V-shape sometime with ground pin, sometime without. Unfortunately, there are many more types of plugs used in various types of the world, so it is best to double check this before leaving.

Type A or American pin

Type G or British pin

Type C or European pin

Type I or Australian pin

What if your device is not flexible enough to take in “100-240V,50/60Hz?”  Then it is advisable to check what sort of electrical system is used in the country you are going.  As a general rule, Western Japan, North and Central America use the 110-120V, 60Hz system.  Meanwhile, the rest of the world generally use the 220-240V, 50Hz system.  There are some exceptions, however.  In Tokyo, you will encounter the 110-120V, 50Hz frequency.  In some parts of Brazil, as well as the Philippines, make sure to equip your device for a 220-240 V, 60Hz system.

TravelPac Turbo Bass In-ear Earphone, My Favorite at the Moment

Tuesday, April 6th, 2010 by Joyce

Have you ever experienced your earphone cable being entangled, even before you can listen to music on your personal MP3 Players or iPods? Well, I recommend TravelPac Turbo Bass in-ear earphone which has 100 cm of retractable cord that allows you to adjust your desired length of your earphone cable while listening to your favorite music.

Personally, I often encounter problems in which my earphone cable got entangled when I take it out of my pocket to plug into my MP3. Entangled earphone cable is so troublesome and tedious to untangle… With this retractable earphone, it allows me to shorten or lengthen my earpiece cable to my desired length easily with just a short balanced pull and stop it at the length I wish with the stopper provided in it. Hence, it gives me tidy usage and storage conveniently. Now I can look neater with less effort.
