I bought the Smartbud and felt a bit sceptical but have been pleasantly surprised. It works, just as the videos show … but it is quite addictive! We really appreciate you leaving a review of your experience and are so glad that the Smartbud has helped your ear condition!

Chameleon Technology launches the ivie app, the personal

It’s also important for me to mention that this review is written completely independently of OVO and Chameleon in my personal capacity as a forum volunteer. All views are my own and should be treated as such. Understanding energy usage and how to reduce it has been a difficult task for most households. With the ivie app, users can easily understand how and when they’re using energy in the home with activity breakdowns, reports and personal energy-saving tips and challenges.

Consumers are still left with few mainstream options for getting real time smart meter e nergy usage info onto anything but an IHD. The Glow IHD is an option for example. I use this tool weekly and love the feeling of having clean ears! The design and construction is really high-quality, much better than a more expensive version I tried from a different brand. Would highly recommend Smartbud. Tap and hold on the ‘G’ logo or say ‘Hey Google’ to invoke the voice assistant, but only with an Android phone.

That means all of the earbuds and in-ear headphones above come from brands we trust. Still, if you're not sure where to start looking, respected brands like Sony, Apple, Cambridge Audio, Jabra, and Nura are good places to start.

The Nothing Ear (2) earphones are distinctive thanks to their transparent earpiece and case design. But they aren't just a fashion statement; they produce detailed audio, support the high-end LHDC codec, and offer better-than-average durability. And while they don't cancel noise quite as well as the class-leading AirPods Pro or the Bose QC Ultra Earbuds, they are still quite competitive. Who It’s For Four hours in, I finally get to play with the device properly, but unfortunately this was short lived and I’ll explain why further down. The short version is that from my hour or two of using the ivie Bud, it was ultimately no different to the IHD6 other than having a built-in temperature sensor and no battery. If you already know how the IHD6 works, then you know how the ivie Bud works. Actually, it’s much safer to run Smart Meters using a private network infrastructure that never touches the public internet.While poking around in the settings menu, I decided to test out the “Full Reset” function, which totally resets the device with a warning I’d have to complete activation again… That was my final mistake. After the device rebooted, it had clearly done a full reset and was once again awaiting activation. Great, so you might think it’s ready to set up again… Right…? Nope! It is a shame the device doesn't yet have real time integration with an ivie app or Smartthings or an api. Expert opinion: Energy Saving Trust's Lucy Joss gave us the lowdown on the best devices for saving money on energy bills and what to consider when buying them Because the fit of your earbuds is so important, it's critical to buy your buds at a retailer that has a good return policy, in case the buds aren't a good match for your ears.

Mike Woodhall, founder and CEO of Chameleon Technology, the company behind ivie, commented: “Understanding energy usage and how to reduce it is a difficult task for most households. With energy bills now reaching extreme levels, it is essential to improve our understanding of how we use energy in the home. The ivie app and ivie Bud were created for this exact reason: to make managing energy simpler, smarter and more personal. Accurate, real-time energy data is crucial for achieving this. With live data, people can make smart energy-saving decisions on the spot that bring genuine change to how they use energy.” We did enjoy the audio on offer from these buds, but you may want to do some tweaking when it comes to the audio profile. Out of the box, the sound is heavily scooped – at once overwhelming and sometimes boomy in the bass frequencies while being boosted and occasionally brittle in the upper treble range: all of this reduces the clarity of the mids. However, the five-band equalizer in the app means you can adjust the sound to your liking. The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro are refreshingly smaller and lighter than most rivals – and an improvement over previous Galaxy buds. The result is a stylish, minimalist, secure and ergonomic look and fit that almost feels as if you're not wearing earbuds at all – or at least that was our experience during testing.Can the Sony WF-C700N be bettered by rivals? Absolutely, but not for this money. You'll have to set your sights much farther up the food chain if you want to beat this suite of features and sound quality. For features, design and most-importantly sound quality, these cannot be bettered for this price, which makes them excellent value in our books. You really want app support: Audio-Technica's earbuds do excellently well without a companion app, but if you want a visual cue of the features, you won't get it here. There’s nothing artificial about the way the Technics EAH-AZ80 sound, they offer convincingly realistic and coherent listening in all circumstances. It's key that the earbuds you buy fit your ears well. They should offer a comfortable, secure fit. If you don't get a tight seal with noise-isolating earbuds, sound quality and noise canceling can be dramatically impacted for the worse. Open earbuds don't have that issue, but they should be comfortable to wear and sit securely in your ears.
