Detailed Overview
EARBUDS FOR SPORTS
The Jabra Elite Active 75t has IP57 dust and water protection and a rubberized coating for a more secure fit, making it a good choice for sports. The headphones offer good passive sound isolation, and Jabra added ANC in a major software update. It is no match for Bose and Apple's noise-canceling technology in terms of effectiveness, but the headset does a pretty good job of removing low-frequency noise. In the Jabra Sound+ companion app, you can calibrate the function to your personal taste. With a single press on the physical button on the left earpiece, you can switch from ANC to HearThrough amplification of external sounds, or disable both modes. Out of the box, you can also adjust the volume with long presses on the left and right earpiece.
The app includes a customizable equalizer and even a separate EQ for calls (during which the voice quality is good). The Jabra Elite Active 75t will work for up to 5.5 hours with ANC enabled and up to 24 hours with a carrying case. Fast charging is claimed: just 15 minutes in the case will provide an hour of listening time.

With Active 2 you can automatically detect the type of activity and enjoy 40 sports modes. You can reply to messages with voice entry, keyboard or quick answers.

FOR RC HOBBY FANS
It’s a compact device with a fairly simple design but it is only on the surface. The front camera is capable of shooting HD 720p video and taking five megapixel photos. The angle of view is 82.6 degrees. At the bottom there are two infrared sensors and an additional camera. They are used for visual positioning, the presence of which, by the way, sets it apart from the competitors.The battery is removable. According to the manufacturer, it lasts for 13 minutes of flight but we found out that this is probably some ideal conditions, because it lasted for about 12 minutes. It is charged through the micro-usb connector, which is located on the copter. This is very cool because you don't need to carry around some additional external charging; it can recharge from a conventional power bank.
It is controlled from your smartphone, that is connected to the Wi-Fi network created by the copter, which is good because it is very simple on the smartphone touch screen and is also not very good because when you get used to the physical sticks as on copters with an external remote control then it feels a little unusual.Flying is easy although there’s a minor delay in control, but you get used to it. There are two flight modes: normal and high-speed. In the latter, Tello accelerates to 8 meters per second, which is almost 30 km/h. This mode is recommended for outside only, because at home it is simply dangerous. Although the declared flight range is up to 100 m, this value varies greatly depending on the presence of external interference.

FOR TECHNO GUYS
Sabrent Rocket XTRM-Q SSD can transfer data through Thunderbolt 3 port at speeds up to 2700 MB/s. The manufacturer does not specify write speeds, but high-capacity versions show over 1800 MB/s in tests. Unlike some other drives of this class, the model can be used with devices equipped with regular USB ports. In this mode, the speed will be limited to 900 MB/s, but you do not have to worry about compatibility. The metal case heats up noticeably under load, increasing the temperature of the internal NVMe SSD can also affect performance.
If you register the product on the manufacturer's website, the warranty can be extended from one year to five years. The SSD is sold in two versions with QLC or TLC memory. The QLC version is offered at a very competitive price, but is inferior to TLC in endurance and speed. The Rocket XTRM-Q also uses SLC caching technology, with a write buffer size of nearly a quarter of the capacity. However, as the drive fills up, the SLC cache will shrink. And if you write hundreds of gigabytes of data sequentially, it may become insufficient (and then the speed drops to 150-180 MB/s). Still, this is a good buy if you aren't dealing with large files daily.
