absolutely love gadgets, however with all gadgets, money is a constraint; so I only buy gadgets I absolutely need. Last month was what i call a month of gadgets. I normally buy a gadget on average every 4 months, however last month I went "wild" and purchased three items from Amazon. The problem with gadget - buying them, is that you have to have a definitive purpose for buying them. The are a group of gadget enthusiast out there who buy gadgets either for the fun of it and end up collecting them in a box and forgetting about them. They crave technology but in an uncontrolled manner.They have this irresistible urge to purchase these gadgets because it is out there even it it does not suit their needs. Then there is the other groups who buy the latest gadgets to tell their stories of acquiring the latest tech item to hit the market. There are also other groups who buy gadgets for other reasons best known to themselves.
OK, So below are the gadgets I bought. I will put links to manufacturers website for your benefit
1. MPOW Swift Stereo Bluetooth Headsets. There is an excellent review of these headsets here. I absolutely love these headsets. I purposely bought them for the gym. To be honest, when the requirement was needed for a headset for the gym, I think I came across, probably the next day, a post on some fitness site recommending these headsets. I did a little research myself and made the decision to buy them. For the price I paid, I am well happy with them. I actually thought I was going to have a problem with them falling out of my ears, however this is not the case. I did have to figure out how I needed to position them in a way that was comfortable to how they fitted in my ears. The other plus feature I like about these headphones is that you can make and answer calls with them. I actually have used it on several occasions to answer calls. Then there is the sound quality, it is awesome. I cannot fault it.
If I opt to take a walk on any particular day that I am not at the gym, these headphones perform brilliantly.
2. Microsoft Band by Microsoft.
The success of the Microsoft Band has been attributed to the fact that it is cross platform It can be used with an Android phone, Windows phone and an iPhone [yak!! yes that is right, I loathe the iPhone]. The Android app is excellent. I do not use a Windows phone nor an iPhone, so I am not able to comment on how the app works on these devices. Fitness is one of my goals this year. I believe that if you are kitted with the right equipment, you are better motivated in not only attaining your goal in being healthier but also monitoring your stages in your quest to be healthy.
This band does other things apart from monitoring health. I can get Email, Facebook, Text messages and Twitter notifications. I understand that if you have a Windows phone, you can setup appointments using Cortana, which is cool.

3. Razer Ouroboros Gaming Mouse.
I absolutely love this mouse. It is called a gaming mouse and even though I am not an avid gamer, but this mouse serves me very well. When my gaming skills get enhanced, the Razer will obviously help. I have been using the Razer for a few weeks now, and I must say there are a whole lot of features that it offers that I have not touched. This mouse is sleek, precise and comfortable.
4. Runaway Bluetooth headset by MEELectronics. .
These are my preferred headsets for when I am driving and need to engage in hands free mode for answering phone calls and also listening to music or Podcasts. The Runaway headphones have perfect sound quality and it is very well built.

It is the Voyager Air Media Hub
