Written review:

First of all, I would like to thank Mark from MOFRED, for sending me out the screen protectors for review.

I found the screen protector, after several weeks of use, to be still in great condition, and withstand scratches very well, by that I mean, it doesn’t get scratched easily, unlike my old screen protector, where after several weeks of use, say playing on Temple Run, or Swyping, I would find the screen protector having scratch marks being left, where I was using the phone the most (lower half usually).

As for the finger prints on the screen, I found the MOFRED screen protector, in having a slight tendency of picking up finger prints relatively easily. That said, I haven’t really had any troubles wiping them off with one single stroke with my T-Shirt, and haven’t had another screen protector be truly anti-fingerprint worthy.

Thus overall, the screen protector does a good job in protecting the screen, and yet not leaving marks, after having it used, unlike other screen protectors that I have had in the past. For the very cheap price, I feel that these are well worth the purchase. If anything I doubt anyone will get through the 10-12 packs in over 2 years of use – yes I do deem them that good.

For those that doubt screen protectors; For me, I’ve always had one on. It costs next to nothing to have one on, doesn’t decrease the touch sensitivity of the screen, and more so protects your device from small scratches. As I always say: I rather be safe than sorry: £3.50 or so, to protect a £500 phone? Well worth it, if you ask me, but be your own judge in that respect.

Hope you enjoyed my application guide & my review!

First of all I would like to thank the lovely Tanya, from Fischer Audio for sending me out the DBA-02 mk II’s!
Before getting into the review I would like to say that Fischer Audio was to me, an unknown, but yet a very established brand in Asia. Thus it came to my delight when I found these earphones being listed around the EU a little more; For example, the DBA-02 mk II’s can be bought from Top Dog Headphones, who are an authorised dealer!

Review of the Logitech Ultimate Ears 350vi – An outstanding earphone for the price

First of all I would like to thank Ultimate Ears for sending me out the UE350vi’s to review. Despite me having only android/PC devices, I received the iPhone version of these. Which was slightly frustrating, as UE have both the non-mic version, and the Android version of the UE350’s. They all fall under the same price bracket too – so I was disappointed in that respect for receiving the one, out of the 3, that wouldn’t work properly. That said, I listen to my music via my Digizoid ZO2 amp, which bypasses the mic functionalities, but more so, my Samsung Galaxy S III accepted the connection, without problem, although none of the controls were working. That said, when I put the 350vi’s on my S1, the sound is “lost”, and by that I mean, the S1 doesn’t bypass the mic functionalities, and has problems with the earphones.

First and foremost, I would like to thank Carol, from Audiofly, for sending me the AF45’s to review. Audiofly is a new Australian company, and thus just starting up, and getting internationally known for their earphones.
The AF45 is priced at around £40, which comes in at a very competitive market, and thus makes it very interesting to draw comparisons and create a review. I received a pre-released version of the AF45’s, thus the packaging and accessories ratings are split in two, by what I received, and what will be in the final version.

I should also note, that Audiofly sent me the iPhone version, which at first I thought was their only version, but was quickly told that they also had a non-mic version. My mic version, went under the “famous tape mod” that I had to apply to the RedGiant A03’s in order to listen to my music normally. I often found myself quite frustrated, and more often than not un-plugged the earphones, and listened to another pair, as it kept “zoning out” from either my phone and/or PC. If only I had known beforehand, that there was two versions, I would have definitely picked the non-mic version to review.
