Samsung Gear 2 Neo Smartwatch Review




I was torn between the three smart watch offerings from Samsung. I liked the refined look of the Gear 2 but I would never use the camera when my phone has a much better one. I liked the look of the Gear Fit but it didn't have enough of the functionality I wanted and the reviews are not so good. The Gear Neo fit my desires and the price was acceptable.

Things I like:
- The Built-In MP3 player. I hate wearing an arm-band at the gym. With the Neo and my BT headphones I have all I need.
- The email and txt notifications
- Using it to talk on the phone. It actually works quite well
- The pedometer and fitness tracking options
- The customizing options of the home screens
- The battery last about 3 days in normal use
- The sleep monitor

Things I don't like
- The charging cradle. It seems like there is enough real-estate to use a standard plug.
- Not being able to add manual entries to the fitness log (this is a general S-Health issue)
- The wristband is a little hard to snap close. It has a learning curve.
- The battery drains fast when you use BT music and record an exercise. It goes from full to about 60% with a 1.5 hour workout.
- The results of the sleep monitor. I need more sleep.

Overall I am extremely pleased with the purchase. I've only had it a week and I'm not sure I can part with it anymore. I recommend it.

Create Your Own Amiibo Tutorial

There are 3 requirements for making amiibos you can use on your Switch/Wii U/3DS. NFC writing capability - generally this means only Android phones with NFC, but apparently it is possible to buy an NFC reader/writer for PC but it is more complicated. NFC Ntag215 stickers - these are little stickers that have a specific type of nfc chip in them that you can buy for really cheap. I bought mine on Amazon because I didn't want to wait for 1 month to get them in from China.  Mine came with 11 ntag215 stickers and got to my house in about 2 days   Only NTAG215 works, 213,216 and other common stickers DO NOT WORK. The TagMo app for Android and .bin files of the amiibo you want to put on your sticker. I'll let you guys google that one, they aren't hard to find. Okay, so you got your stickers and phone with NFC writing, now what? On your Android device go to Settings > Security > Unknown Sources (turn on). This makes it so that you can install apps that ar...

32 ohm vs 250 ohm - Which Headphones Sound Best?

Image
What's the difference between 32 ohm vs 250 ohm headphones?   Click Here to Learn More There haven't been many reviews out there that cover the differences between the different versions available of this product. I found myself in the possession of both the 80ohm and 250ohm so hopefully this can be helpful to someone! The first thing I would like to note is that the 80ohm version has a straight cable whereas the 250ohm version has a coiled cable. This difference has a non-obvious impact on comfort: the coiled cable of the 250ohm version makes the headphones feel heavier. That's because there is more cable that "hangs" off your head. Because the headphones are already pretty lightweight themselves (~270 g) it does make a small but perceivable difference. The straight cable is pretty long so while it will work great at the studio, work or home, it would most likely be a major annoyance if you were planning to use these on the go. DIFFERENCES IN SOUND The difference...
