#all the designer shops are in W1

[zot3-flopped]

So let’s say it’s a stunt, PR or whatever they call it but this is Harry’s 5th girlfriend or so since being a teenager so why don’t they leave him alone then. I mean, what’s the point of writing think pieces about a strangers love life over and over again saying how much the stunting disturbs them. If not that larries , PR harries are all mentally ill bullies with serious holes in their own lives, you will think they would have left harry alone by now. Just plain stupidity.

Claiming that all his relationships are stunts is a preposterous position to take and the PR hags know this, so they feel the need to constantly defend it.

W1. Questions on 'the Creator'

Who is doing the creative practice and underpinning research?

Me

Who am I as a designer?

I don't think I will ever be able to answer this accurately or succinctly but I think I am a designer who draws from what I see in the world around me, I tend to like 'busier' work, messier, or 'personal'.

What are the influences on me as a designer and where do they come from?

I was always drawn more to the digital aspects of the design world - manipulating photography, editing, animation of text or imagery, apps, websites, movies, etc. So I pick up a lot of my inspirations just from what I'm consuming, when I really like a style I dig deeper to find similars and tend to keep those styles on the backburner - I like to cross reference stuff I like and see how I can combine then with the context of my themes/experiences. I think I got this love for picking apart and combining from my love of writing/analysis of literary/visual media - it manifests in my creative worlds too. 

How can I unpack the personal design ideologies that cultural shifts, ethics, and responsibility that impact my decision-making?

I think I'm generally a reflective person, I have done a lot of identity-based writing projects and because of that, I have a general idea of my personal ideologies. I have a good understanding of my opinions on things but I think how that ties into design could be developed through a brief like this. 

How might I expand my visual vocabulary by understanding the environmental, social, cultural, and political contexts of my design influences?

I think by using my in-life examples as well - I've always used online means for inspiration or reference. Although I've started to look around when walking to see what posters look like, shop signs, and advertisements - I could do a better job of actually noting them down to explore later. Through this I could later connect it to other contexts I might have not picked up on just by looking? If I know about the contexts of my design influences, it gives me more insight into their decisions which makes picking apart assets easier - all elements I could store away for references. When I think of political designs I could draw them to certain assets and know why and how they were used. What the intent was and possibly what that intent could serve for my work.

Where do I stand in relation to my practice and what do I value?

I like stories, telling stories, reading other stories, connecting them, dissecting them, anaylsing. I value that the most no matter

We are located in Camden, Holborn close to Westminster W1 near Soho, London

Our address is: 8F Gilbert Place, Holborn (next door to Bloomsbury), London, WC1A 2JD. About Camden: Lincoln's Inn Fields is a neighbourhood in the extreme south of the borough that is only 500 metres from the Thames. The northern part of the borough is home to Kentish Town, Hampstead, and Hampstead Heath, which are less populous districts. Numerous parks and open areas may be found in the London Borough of Camden. City of Westminster (near Soho, London) and the City of London are the next-door boroughs, followed by Brent to the west of what was once Roman Watling Street (now the A5 Road), Barnet and Haringey to the north, and Islington to the east. It encompasses all or a portion of the following postcode areas: N1, N6, N7, N19, NW1, NW2, NW3, NW5, NW6, NW8, EC1, WC1, WC2, W1, and W9.

Covent Garden, famed for its entertainment and market, adds to Camden's vibrancy. Bordering the east of the borough are Clerkenwell and Farringdon, hubs for the design industry and renowned for their mix of old and new architecture. Although Lambeth and South Bank are located south of the Thames and not within Camden, they contribute to the broader cultural scene that Camden residents can easily access. To the east of Camden, beyond Islington, lies the diverse and bustling borough of Hackney, which provides a distinct cultural blend of its own. Wimpole Street and Harley Street (very close to Camden) are famous for the high number of private health care providers, especially dentists.

The Queen Anne (in Windenburg)

While you can place this house anywhere your heart desires, it was designed with Windenburg in mind. A Queen Anne style victorian may seem a little out of place but I'm sure this house has an interesting backstory ;)

I know I always say this but I absolutely love this house and it's in my top 5 favourite builds ever. It features a beautiful semi-open main floor plan with three bedrooms upstairs. The layout and landscaping is designed to optimize canal views and let me tell you, does this house shine at Christmas! 

You'll see that I've decorated it (interior) for the holiday season. I think all the Christmas decorations that I've seen while shopping inspired me to get a jump-start on the holidays. This lot is available to Patreon Supporters.

Full Transcript of Gillian’s Times Magazine interview

The first thing that strikes you about Gillian Anderson is her flawless English accent. The second is her size. It’s not just that she’s tiny; it’s as if she was built to a completely different scale model to the rest of us. The American actress best known for playing Agent Scully in The X Files, Anderson is friendly but intense, with a hint of prickliness, and she chooses each word with torturous care. Sentences peter out in a thicket of pauses and ums, before she fixes you with a piercing stare.

“It’s near impossible for me to stick with the British accent in America,” she says, curled up on a sofa in a loose silk shirtdress. “I can go a little way with the American accent here, but not if I’m surrounded by Brits. I end up sounding like a mid-Atlantic Euro-trash twat.”

Anderson is one of those famous people who, if you saw her on the street, you’d think you know from the school run. In fact, she’s been on our TV screens for most of her adult life. It’s 25 years since her breakthrough in The X Files and now, aged 50, she’s starred in almost every notable British drama of the past 13 years, from Bleak House to War & Peace and The Fall. She’s played Blanche Dubois in the West End, an experience she describes as “paralysingly terrifying”, and Edwina Mountbatten in a film about the last viceroy of India. She’s the sort of woman who, talking about her clothes, can say, “I don’t do well with ruffles,” and make it sound profound, and I mean that as a compliment. Today, she’s here to talk about how a life of combining red carpets with the school run has contributed to the capsule collection she’s designed for Winser London.

I’m not fashion-centric and I don’t follow trends. I wanted a sweater that could feel dressed up or dressed down, that would work with a pair of jeans or a pair of dress pants. I wanted a reversible silk shirt that is shiny silk on one side and matt on the other, so it feels more casual. And I wanted a swing coat that doesn’t feel too bulky, that’s cut neatly on the shoulders. Most of the time I’m dressed down, in black jeans and boots. This feels like you have the best of both worlds.”

The collection is luxe but plain and hugely wearable: lots of black, navy and brown, a tuxedo suit, a rollneck, a silk blouse. She sat next to the woman who sketched out her ideas and said, can you make the hemline here, and move the collar, can you do an exposed seam or a different belt. Ironically, until now she’s tended to wear clothes year after year until they’re dead, and doesn’t much like shopping.

Anderson was 24 when The X Files made her a global star and won her an Emmy and a Golden Globe. She’s rarely been out of work since, invariably playing strong, independent women. She concedes that her career might have been very different if she’d spent it in Los Angeles, rather than London. “But I don’t regret a thing.” Her recent role as DSI Stella Gibson in The Fall generated as much interest for her wardrobe as her character. The internet was awash with advice on how to get the look, with her subtly sexy, feminine silk shirts and pencil skirts. Whether by accident or design, some of her compact Winser London collection has a distinct feel of Stella Gibson about it. Anderson herself has said self-deprecatingly that the clothes would be emblematic of her own style, if she actually had a style. Finding one was part of the reason she agreed to the collaboration.

“There have been so many times over the years when I’ve shown up on the red carpet, seen the pictures the next day and thought, ‘Gosh, is that me?’ I think that was partly why I decided to cut off all my hair, to feel that at least my hair represents how I feel on the inside. And it might have had something to do with turning 50 this year. Does 50 bother me? No,” she says curtly. “It doesn’t.”

Nor will it be affecting the way she dresses. What does it matter, she asks, if you’re perceived to be too old, skinny or big to pull something off? “If you feel good in it, then why the heck not? I’d never wear a miniskirt, but then I couldn’t work a miniskirt even in youth.”

She only recently started working with stylists to put red-carpet looks together, and says before that her agent would call in favours from designers to get dresses for her, and she’d lay them out on the bed at home to choose.

“I try not to do froufrou on the red carpet. I like clean lines, but it’s trial and error. There have been plenty of times when I’ve thought, ‘What the f*** was I thinking? Why did I think that was a good idea?’ ”

But dressing for the public eye is always going to be a conflicted process for someone who doesn’t want to be noticed. She tells me five times in four sentences that she doesn’t want to stand out. “I never want to stand out,” she adds, in case I haven’t got the message.

Anderson has lived in England, on and off, her whole life. Born in Chicago, she moved to London with her parents as a toddler and went to school here until she was 11. Back in America, at high school in Michigan, she was voted the girl most likely to be arrested. Married and divorced twice, she has lived in London for 15 years and is in a relationship with Peter Morgan, who wrote The Crown. She has a daughter, 23, by her first husband, and two sons, 9 and 12, from a later relationship. She has also had relationships with women, and told one interviewer, “It’s just who I am. I have absolutely no issue with it whatsoever.”

Plagued with low self-esteem and lack of confidence, she has been in therapy since she was 14. She takes on some roles to prove to herself that she can do it and survive. “The fact that I did Streetcar and didn’t die …” she tails off. “You think, ‘Why am I subjecting myself to this?’ Every time one does something to prove something to oneself, it makes it a little bit easier to do harder things the next time.”

She dismisses social media as a distraction, and worries that her elder son now has a phone and Instagram, “and all of a sudden he’s paying attention to advertisements ”. She has a woman who does her social media. She’ll forward pictures from a shoot and the woman will tweet them or post them on Instagram, but Anderson doesn’t pay any attention to the comments. Her sons, on the other hand, will.

“Yes, they will,” she says quietly. “I worry about that. I limit screen time, but to varying degrees. I go through periods when I’m strict and others when I’m superbusy and less strict.”

She knows first-hand how challenging the teenage years can be. “But I’m years off them being the ages where they might start to get into my nonsense. My daughter’s over it and she’s fantastic and sorted. I don’t know how we managed that. We’re very lucky.”

The next time I see Anderson is in a photograph of her on the red carpet, wearing a billowing white dress. I contemplate whether she’ll beat herself up for it in the morning and wonder what she was thinking. Hopefully, she’ll be too busy doing the school run.

The Gillian Anderson for Winser London collection is available at Fenwicks, Bond Street W1

What are True Wireless Earbuds?

If you look at any of the latest smartphones, tabs, or devices, you'll notice that they don't have headphone jacks. Meaning, wired 3.5mm headphones can no longer work with these and you need to use either type-C wired headphones or wireless Bluetooth headphones.

Truly wireless earbuds function through True Wireless Stereo (TWS) technology, which, based on chip technology, allows you to directly pair your phone to your earphones using a Bluetooth wireless connection.  

Hence, thanks to the rising popularity and flexibility they offer, wireless earbuds and wireless headphones are now all the rage.

But with so many options in the market, are you wondering which are the best noise-canceling wireless earbuds out there? Here is a quick guide to help you make the right choice! 

What is the Difference Between Bluetooth Headphones and True Wireless Earbuds?

If you think Bluetooth headsets and true wireless earbuds are terms that can be used interchangeably, here is some news for you.

True wireless earbuds are audio devices that will fit inside your ear perfectly, making them highly ergonomic and ideal for use anywhere. In addition, they are smaller in size, offer easy portability, and are incredibly comfortable. 

On the other hand, Bluetooth headsets are over-the-ears audio devices that are bulkier and also have a headset that ensures that they stay in place.

Due to their design, headphones are often used with a desktop or gaming PC, as they provide deeper bass, exceptional sound quality, noise cancellation, and a microphone that is ideal for calls.

Shop Bluetooth Headphones

With multiple options in the market, you can pick Bluetooth headphones from numerous brands.

At Jumbo Electronics, you can even compare features and filter options as per the Bluetooth version (4.1, 4.2, 5.0), audio quality (SBC, AAC, aptX, and LDAC codecs), and fast pairing modes (W1, NFC, and others).

When picking Bluetooth headphones, users should also consider the devices they'd be using and pairing with them, ensuring that it supports and works seamlessly with your primary device.

Buy True Wireless Earbuds

Looking to find the best wireless earphones for your device? We recommend choosing an option that has:

Bluetooth Version 4.1, 4.2, 5.0, or similar

Noise-cancellation features

Wireless charging options and superior battery

Touch-sensitive switches

Easy integration with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and     Siri

Comfortable fit

Why Should You Choose Wireless Options?

If you are looking to buy true wireless earbuds in UAE         , here are some easy tips to help you make an informed choice:

With newer smartphones and devices no longer having a     separate headphone jack, users can no longer charge and use headphones     simultaneously unless they have a converter. Wireless headphones are ideal     in this situation.

True Wireless Headphones are convenient, easy to access, pair     quickly and offer superior music quality with LDAC, AAC, APTx     compatibility.

They are ideal for use outdoors or while doing activities     like cooking, cleaning, or working out.

With no wires, there is no worry about the headphones getting     entangled and leading to an accident.

If you are looking to buy premium headphones at best price in UAE, look no further than Jumbo Electronics. We offer a wide range of portable audio products, including wireless bluetooth headphones, bluetooth earphones and bluetooth speakers

Anvil Brand: https://www.anvilbrand.com/shop-categories/anvils/   While they have many of the same options as Centaur they have a few additional brands that may be worth a look if you have a little more jingle this holiday season. JHM Certifier 100 Lb. Anvil

Grizzly Industrial: http://www.grizzly.com/products/300-lb-Anvil/G8150 This anvil is a decent weight and the price is quite nice. Perfect beginner forge. Maybe also get a magnet and a chain with this to help turn down the ringing. Grizzly G8147 Anvil, 55-Pound

DRIFTS, CHISELS & PUNCHES

Tomahawk Drift: Sold by Brent Bailey Forge http://www.brentbaileyforge.com/ , these tomahawk drifts ($110) drifts are made to take a beating. They are forged from tool steel and have a much longer lifespan than a cast iron drift. While you are on his site check out some of his other pieces too, like the basic punch for $45.

Slot Punch: https://www.wateroakforge.com/products/blacksmith-slot-punch?variant=26989971463 The slot punch makes so many projects possible to a blacksmith. Bottle openers, axes, hammers and more will all be possible when your blacksmith has a slot punch at their disposal. Water Oak Forge sells one for $13.50 plus shipping.

Anvil Devil: http://www.piehtoolco.com/contents/en-us/p7195.html These little devils, available from Pieh Tool Co. are little anvil top chisels that can be used to hot cut, mark lines and create texture without having to see if it fits in your blacksmith’s hardy hole (the square hole on the face of the anvil).

STEEL

New Jersey Steel Baron: http://newjerseysteelbaron.com/shop/product-category/high-carbon-steel/ Okay, most steel from here is sold in 4 foot sections. So you may have to cut it up or give it in a long tube. Maybe start with some 1075, 1084 or something a little more durable like my favorite, W2. On second thought stay away from the W2 so there is plenty left for me ;)

McMaster Carr: https://www.mcmaster.com/#standard-steel-rods/=1ae9p7r  They sell a decent range of steels and in various sizes. You can get some bar stock W1, the same steel I made my winning Panabas from on Forged in Fire.

Jantz Knifemaking: http://www.knifemaking.com/category-s/1502.htm They offer some smaller sized pieces, cheaper for shipping and you can pick up some other handy items from their online store.

FUEL

Propane: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Worthington-Pro-Grade-40-lb-Propane-Tank/3089595 Buy an exchange propane grill tank from a grocery store or gas station. Even if your blacksmith already has one, two is even better! You can also give a gift card to KOA, which refills propane 7 days a week.

Coal: You can order this from Ebay, Blacksmith Depot and Centaur Forge or you can just be bad and hope Santa delivers a big pile on Christmas morning.

Lump Charcoal: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Royal-Oak-100-All-Natural-Hardwood-Lump-Charcoal-4-lbs/54065925 Yes, you can use charcoal, no it’s not the best or cheapest but it’s a good fuel option and lump coal from wood is often sold in grocery stores. Make sure you are not purchasing briquettes as they really mess up the steel, burn cooler and dirtier.

BOOKS, DVDs & LESSONS

Books: The Backyard Blacksmith by Lorelei Sims, The Complete Modern Blacksmithby Alexander Weygers and The Complete Bladesmith: Forging Your Way To Perfectionby Jim Hrisoulas.

DVDs: J. Neilson’s How to... series http://chriscrawfordknives.com/dvds/

Classes: There are many schools and folk schools and bladesmiths that offer classes like Walter Sorrells and Alec Steele who has quite the “okaly dokaly” online course https://beginblacksmithing.com/.

SHOP SUPPLIES

Beeswax: Hansi Beeswax Premium 5 oz> Nothing shines up a freshly forged piece like a bit of wax. You can pick this up at Hobby Lobby and other crafting stores.

Rags: Blacksmith shops are messy places, our hands are dirty and are clothes are dirty, but with some good shop rags we can keep some of that dirt at bay. Shop towels, Perfect for your Shop (14x14) inches, 25 Pack, (Red)

Vinegar: It’s a great product for removing scale. I keep a bucket full at all times in my shop. We buy it in bulk sized containers from Costco. Distilled White Vinegar Jug, 1 gal

Grinder Supplies: Belts, discs and wheels get burned through pretty quickly in a blacksmith shop. A replenished supply at Christmas would go a loooooong way. Just make sure you know what type of equipment you are buying for and that your order will fit. Harbor Freight, Northern Tool, Lowes, Home Depot, Ace Hardware and Menards are all good places to buy many of these items. 4.5" Angle Grinder Flap Disc 40 Grit - 10 Pack

Soapstone: It’s a fireproof stone that comes in the shape of chalk like sticks that smiths can use to mark their work as they go. They aren’t very expensive and you can find them at just about any hardware store. Flat Soapstone Holder with 7 Flat Professional Quality Soapstone

Wire-brushes: These help us keep the metal clean and free of scale as we work it. We can wear them out rather quickly so we don’t usually turn our nose at them. Also readily available at most hardware stores. Steel Wire Brush

Sandpaper and Steel Wool: Also another item that seems to burn up faster than wood. Even though I have a grinder I still go through packs of 120, 220, 320, 400 and 600 grit sandpaper on a regular basis. I also use my fair share of steel wool, just make sure it’s #0000 Steel Wool #0000 Super Fine

Oils: We use oils for all kinds of things in our shops. From polishing wood to quenching knifes and sanding blades, oil helps us get the job done. Linseed is good for handles, mineral is good for quenching as is vegetable oil and even transmission fluid. Oil is good for darkening steel and giving it a rust protectant coating. Break-Free CLP-2 Cleaner Lubricant Preservative

SAFETY

Gloves: No elastic wrist bands, should be all leather. If married, order them some silicone rings so they are more likely to keep their fingers should a finger related accident occur.

Eye Protection: DEWALT DPG82-11 Concealer Clear Anti-Fog Dual Mold Safety Goggle Get something shock rated, Face Shieldsare a great investment!

Respirators: 3M(TM) Half Facepiece Respirator Assembly 6291/07002(AAD), Medium, with 3M(TM) Particulate Filters 2091/07000(AAD), P100 Blacksmith air is dirty air. Give the gift of healthy lungs this Christmas.

Forza Horizon Best Game

H8ded6oi Modes

The Kinect motion sensor has sold in excess of a thousands units inside leading 10 era with it's launch, and so this no doubt online game designers end up being dash in order to include Kinect capacity to their upcoming game concepts. If charged with rolling our Support Rushmore competition online game , Burnout 3: Takedown, Forza Horizon 3, Excel, and Go beyond 2006: Shore 2 Coastline are the subjects I'd engrave right big rock and roll.

AirPod Alternatives: The Best True Wireless Earbuds for 2020

Wireless vs. Wire-Free Earbuds

If you think the term "true wireless" sounds like sales jargon, we're with you. Regardless of whether you call them "true wireless," "cable-free," or "wire-free," the important distinction between these and typical earphones is the complete lack of a cable connecting the earpieces.

If you simply want a pair of Bluetooth earphones for exercise and don't mind a cable connecting the earpieces behind your neck, you can stop reading now and head over to our list of The Best Wireless Headphones. That said, there is something liberating about going completely wire-free.

You might notice that the standard AirPods aren't on this list. While Apple may have popularized the true wireless category, the AirPods have their fair share of shortcomings compared with the competition, particularly Apple's own AirPods Pro, which we like a lot better.

With that in mind, let's walk through some of the key criteria to consider when shopping for a true wireless pair.

On-Ear Controls

If there's one complication many models share in the operation department, it's that it's easy to accidentally pause music, skip a track, or summon a voice assistant when you merely meant to take an earpiece out or adjust it slightly. There's not a lot of real estate on most of the earpieces we've tested, and thus much of the outer panel area is devoted to housing controls.

Newer models manage to strike a balance between operability and layout. Some use actual tactile buttons to control playback, call management, track navigation, and volume. Some others cleverly divide controls between the two earpieces with touch panels—tapping the left ear, for instance, will skip a track backward, while tapping the right will skip forward. Despite needing to do a little more thinking before you tap, eventually the division of controls between the two earpieces reveals itself to be intuitive. So on-ear control panels are getting more creative and user-friendly, but there's still a ways to go before they catch up with traditional wireless models.

As for Bluetooth pairing, you won't find an easier pairing process than with the AirPods or the Powerbeats Pro (if you have an iOS device), which essentially do all the work for you the second you turn them on thanks to Apple's H1 (or older W1) headphone chip. Other pairs are still relatively simple to connect in your phone's Bluetooth settings menu.

True Wireless Battery Life

Battery life is the Achilles' heel of the true wireless category. The typical estimated battery life (and keep in mind your results will vary with volume levels) tops out around six hours. It kills a battery fast when you need to power two earpieces separately.

The necessary solution that (nearly) all of these designs share in common is a charging case. Each case protects the earpieces when not in use, and charges them simultaneously. Most of the cases carry two extra full charges, so you can recharge your earphones on the go. It's not unlikely that this weak aspect of the true wireless realm will improve to the point that it will no longer be an issue.

What If I Lose an Earpiece?

This is, understandably, a concern of many potential true wireless users. Allow us to allay your fears—we can say that after over a year of testing, you have to try pretty hard to lose one earpiece. First off, just about every pair we've tested offers an extremely secure in-ear fit without sacrificing comfort. Most of the earpieces are larger than typical in-ears, while still maintaining a lightweight feel, making the likelihood of losing one while exercising (or at any other time) fairly low.

As for simply misplacing an earpiece when not in use, this also seems unlikely. The charging case is intrinsically tied to the user experience—like hanging up the phone or turning the TV off when you're finished watching, you'll automatically reach for the case to stow and charge the earphones. To put it another way: You're far more likely to misplace the whole thing—the case with both earpieces inside—than you are to misplace one earpiece.

If you do somehow lose one earpiece only, however, plenty of companies like Apple will gladly sell you an extra one à la carte for less than the price of a new full set. If losing an earpiece still seems like something you can imagine happening to you, it's worth researching whether the model you're interested in offers this option.

Exercise-Friendly Designs

Surprisingly, many of these wire-free models can be used at the gym and even get wet, despite the fact that each earpiece has an exposed charging contact on the inside. Check the IP rating of these; some workout-friendly earphones are only IPX4-rated, so they can stand up to sweat but might be hard to wash. Others are IPX7-rated, which means they can survive getting rinsed and dunked.

If durability and a true waterproof design are your main priorities, you'll either need to sacrifice some user-friendliness, or opt for a traditional neckband-style wireless design. Thus far, most of the earphones that are bundled with fitness apps or heart rate monitors have been in the neckband/cabled realm.

Earphones With Apps

Many of the models we've tested use apps designed by the manufacturer to control various parameters and the setup process. Some let you set auto-off timers, disable voice prompts, and control playback. Others feature user-adjustable EQ and/or an ambient-listening modes (for listening to the sound around you) that can be adjusted.

Noise Cancellation

ANC (active noise cancellation) is a relatively new feature in the true wireless realm. The pairs that offer the best noise cancellation tend to be more expensive, though still relatively affordable compared with top-notch ANC over-ear headphones. The best models are currently in the $250-$300 price range, from companies like Apple and Bose.

Get Ready to Spend

There is a marked difference between our Editors' Choices in the true wireless category, and a typical tether-together wireless pair. You can get good wireless, neckband-style in-ears for $40, but typically, you can expect to spend at least twice as much for true wireless. (Though there are a couple quality, super-affordable exceptions, but they're not the norm.) The base price for most true wireless options is around $100, with the very best models costing as much as $200 or even $300. If you're looking for a pair with noise cancellation, you're definitely going to be spending closer to $200 or more.

Get your airpods with free shipping

Apple and other Companies in March 2019 overhauled the AirPods and introduced the first AirPods update with useful new features that make designed earbuds better than ever.

 The updated AirPods are equipped with an updated H1 chip, which replaces the W1 chip and brings connectivity improvements. AirPods connect more quickly to your devices for an even more hassle-free experience, and automatic switching between devices while listening to music is now two times faster. The H1 chip in the second-generation AirPods supports Bluetooth 5.0, which should bring better range.

 AirPods delivered a magical wireless experience and have become one of the most beloved products ever made. They connect easily with all of your devices, and provide crystal clear sound and intuitive, innovative control of your music and audio,” said Phil Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing. “The world’s best wireless headphones just got even better with the new AirPods. They are powered by the new Apple-designed H1 chip which brings an extra hour of talk time, faster connections, hands-free ‘Hey Siri’ and the convenience of a new wireless battery case.”

 The new AirPods come with either the standard charging case or the new Wireless Charging Case. Each case holds additional charges for more than 24 hours of total listening time, ensuring AirPods are charged and ready to go whenever you are. The Wireless Charging Case is designed to offer the freedom of wireless charging. An LED light indicator located on the front of the case conveniently shows the charge status with just a glance. Existing AirPods customers can purchase the standalone Wireless Charging Case.

 When Apple announced wireless AirPods, it met with mixed reactions. None of the negative reactions came after actual use; those were mostly knee-jerk reactions to a new product. There are only a handful of people who have actually tried them on and their experience has been positive. Since I own the iPhone 7 Plus and the iPad Pro (along with three Google Nexus devices and Pixel C tablet), I have been debating whether to buy AirPods or not. Here are some pros and cons that helped me in my purchase decision. They may help you too.

 1-Pairing made easy

If you own Bluetooth headphones you already know how painful it is to pair and unpair them with different devices. Apple solved that problem by developing their own W1 chips that seems to be using Bluetooth standards, but with better connectivity and more power efficiency with any device.

 2-Smart enough to work with Android devices

The smartness of AirPods goes beyond just the iCloud pairing. AirPods are equipped with dual optical sensors, accelerometers, tiny batteries, W1 chips and a microphone. All of these work together to offer a great experience. The sensors detect how you are using them.  If I want to use AirPods with my device; I can pair them just like plain old boring Bluetooth headphones.

 Shop AirPods with all-day battery life, Just pull them out of the charging case and they’re ready to use with your iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad, or Mac, visit us now and enjoy free shipping at Volgo Point.

Apple believes in a wireless future. A future where all of your devices intuitively connect. This belief drove drove the design of Apple’s wireless AirPods. They have being made possible with the development of the Apple designed W1 chip. It is the first of it’s kind to produce intelligent high efficiency playback while delivering a consistent and reliable connection. Infrared sensors detected when each AirPod is in your ear, so they only play once your ready to listen. Motion accelerometers also respond to your touch, allowing you to access Siri with a double tap. When your speaking, voice accelerometers recognise the vibration and source of your voice, then working with a pair of beam-forming microphones reduce external noise. Each AirPod provides up to five hours of listening on a single charge. While the compact charging delivers more than 24 hours of battery life. The W1 chip enables intelligent connection to all you Apple devices and allows you to instantly switch between whichever one you’re using, and of course the wireless AirPods deliver incredible sound. Apple is just at the beginning of a truely wireless future they’ve been working towards for many years, where technology enables the seamless and automatic connection between you and your devices.
