| SpiderBuds Sapphire, Amber & Jade Series: Hands-On Review Posted: 26 Feb 2016 10:25 AM PST  Finding the right balance for your on-the-go audio experience isn’t always as easy a feat as it may seem. Today, I am testing out three of the Spiderbuds earphones to see just how they compare.
Spiderbuds corded earbuds come in three different series with some varied features and sound quality. Features for all three series:
Specs:
The Sapphire Series, retail cost $19.99This series of Spiderbuds is the more basic of the three. They are metal earphones with noise cancelling, an in-line microphone, and an in-line remote that can save you from digging your device out of your pocket or bag. The pair I received for testing had a black cord with red metallic cased earbuds. It also came with the standard alternative sizes for a better fit. While these looked and felt fantastic to wear, the sound itself felt solid, but not stellar. However, it is a great bargain for the MSRP of just under $20 and is a strong competitor in that line. Pros:
Cons:
The Amber Series, retail cost $24.99Spiderbud’s Amber Series is their mid-priced option that offers a step up from their Sapphire Series. Like its two sister products, these are also noise-cancelling earbud headphones. The pair of earphones I received from the Amber line for this hands-on review were nearly entirely black with gray earbud tips. The most useful element of the Amber Spiderbud in-ear headphones is the flat cord. All in all, this is a solid choice for price point. Pros:
Cons:
The Jade Series, retail cost $29.99The Jade Series is the top of the line for Spiderbuds earphones. Arriving in the cool green Alien-inspired packaging, the earbuds themselves were also green tipped with a metallic finish and black cord. Aside from being noise cancelling, they are also well-equipped to be your choice for mobile use. These in-ear headphones feature an in-line microphone, as well as an in-line controller that allows you to adjust the volume, change tracks, and operate the basic functions of your phone calls. This is a great value for the MSRP of just under $30. Pros:
Cons:
How they were tested:Everyone has different types of gadgets and uses for earbuds. They were tested on two different Android smartphones, three tablets, a Windows-based laptop, and even a desktop computer to ensure compatibility. The recorded sounds came from iTunes, Google Play and YouTube and were tested with the following genres: Hip hop, Rhythm and Blues, Blues, Classic Rock, Metal, World, Classical, eLearning, downloaded movies and games. Durability:One of the biggest complaints I've seen with earbuds is that some may fall apart if dropped or used too frequently. Keeping in mind the typical wear and tear for this type of product, each of the three series went through the same durability challenge. They were dropped, thrown, and placed on the bottom of a backpack filled with books. The second step was for continued usage, so they were placed in ear with removal by tugging or pulling. Upon completion, each set of earbuds was tested again for sound quality. The housing remained intact, the cords did not pinch or fray, and there were no broken parts. All passed with flying colors. The overall construction for the Spiderbuds is excellent. As for sound quality, they are good for the money spent, unlike others in the same price range. Be social!

| Lytro Gen 1 Camera Goes on Sale in Our Store Posted: 25 Feb 2016 02:36 PM PST  It happened to most of us to get home after a vacation or a memorable event just to discover that some of the most important photos are out of focus. Lytro is a light field camera that enables you to focus photos after you’ve taken them, so it can actually save your hide if for some reason your life depends on the quality of those pictures. Lytro, the manufacturer of this tiny light field camera, made it under the spotlight when it launched Illum, back in 2014. Even though two years have passed since then, Illum still doesn’t haven any competition, so one might say that Lytro reigns supreme in the field of light-field cameras. Bear in mind that the camera in question, the one you can buy in our store, is actually a Lytro Gen 1, which was launched prior to the possibly more famous Illum. That being said, Walyou Deals has this one on sale with a massive discount, so if out-of-focus images are your greatest fear, then you should really take advantage of the offer! Living pictures, as Lytro has named the photos taken with its cameras, can be tweaked prior to being taken. That means that they capture all of the available light traveling in all of the possible directions, so if the thing you wished it were focus is actually out of focus, all is not lost yet. This compact, durable and lightweight camera enables you to refocus, change perspective, or even view the photographed objects or persons in 3D. Each scene can have up to 11-million light rays. Also in the numbers department, you can store up to 350 photos in the camera’s internal storage of 8GB. That means that you’d be shooting the photos at a resolution that makes them clear enough, while also making them the right size for sharing online. Bear in mind that the Lytro field-of-light camera comes with uploading software and photo filters, so you won’t have to outsource that on your own. The Lytro Gen 1 camera is available in Graphite, Seaglass Green, Moxie Pink, and Electric Blue, costs $74.99 (originally $149), and can be purchased from Walyou Deals within the next 5 days. The camera may be 2 years old, but photos out of focus are a actual problem, so the Lytro still qualifies as a solution.
To sweeten the deal even more, our store offers a 96% discount on the Pro Digital Photography & Photoshop Bundle, meaning that you’ll only pay $29 instead of the $799 retail price. The deal for this photography bundle expires in 5 days, and considering the incredible discount, if you’re interested in learning more about cameras and how to take better pictures, you really shouldn’t think twice before buying it. The bundle comprises of 30 hours of content and 27 instructional units that cover everything you need to know in order to master manual photography. On top of that, you’ll also learn to use Photoshop like an expert. Be social!
