Question as above. I just got a Slider and really like it, however t was to replace my touchpad whose speakers are fantastic. The Slider has two speaker grilles but it sounds like only the right side is working. I thought the innards were the same as the Tranformer (2 speakers?) however the Asus website says "High Quality speaker". What is right and is there anyway to improve sound?
Any opinon on whether great functionality etc is worth keeping over good speaker sound is welcome.
Thanks very much

Over the course of the years I’ve tried many, many Bluetooth headsets and VERY few lasted more than a few days of use. A lot had poor performance, extremely uncomfortable or both.
I travel a lot and sometimes it’s just cumbersome having to hold the phone when talking and trying to multitask. So I gave the FreeGO a try and I’m glad I did.
Performance/Build Quality
When first looking at the unit; I was worried it was going to be too heavy with the size but I was pleasantly surprised when picking it up. It’s a lot lighter than I expected. Even though it was light weight it didn’t feel cheap in the slightly. Nothing flexed, or creaked to the point where I was worried about it falling apart.
The unit itself has a two toned looked to it. A shiny glossy part and matte soft rubber part. The soft rubber part is what actually is in contact with your ear. This makes it extremely comfortable to wear. So comfortable that I’d forget I had it on to be honest. The silicone ear tip that creates a “seal” for sound doesn’t really create a seal as the tip is oddly “flat” shaped. It’s not like the tips on earphones/earbuds where you would jam them in your ear canal. It simply hovers over the opening. This worried me at first that calls or sounds would be difficult to hear. Once again it surprised me. Calls still came in crystal clear, music sounded good and never missed a notification sound. I think the odd shape and not shoving them in the ear canal is what makes the headset so comfortable.
Can be used on either ear. The earpiece has a 180 Degree Flip-boom arm for both left or right ear. Which is really convenient depending which ear you want to use it on.
The unit has 3 buttons: Volume up, volume down and answer call. All were easy to access when worn and always responsive. Pairing it to my phone or tablet was a cinch and took no longer than 2 minutes for initial pairing and subsequent pairings took seconds.
Sound quality was just amazing. Never did I feel like it wasn’t clear. The mic also performed superbly. The person on the line never had a problem hearing me or asked me to speak louder. What else can you ask for?
Last; it stayed in place. I’m sure everyone had that headset that was just impossible to keep in place and you ended adjusting it all the time. Not this one; I had it on the ENTIRE day and not once did I have to adjust it.
Packaging
It comes in a simple box. Has 3 different ear tips, a small faux leather pouch and a micro usb cable (flat cable which is a nice touch). The micro usb cable is of decent quality which is a plus in my book. It did not come with a wall plug though. So either use your phones or plug it into your computer to charge it.
Conclusion
It’s a no brainer for me if you’re looking for a great value Bluetooth headset. Good performance, good price and comfortable. I’d recommend it to anyone.
Nice review, but what do you use this for?
I have a pair of wireless Jaybird bluebuds I wear for running/working out, and flip them over for conference calls.

I got the jaybird freedom, it wasn't cheap, but it was worth the price. The fit is good, sound is good too, battery lasts long, and sweatproof. Perfect for workout.
Only letdown that it is not good for phonecalls, they said my voice was very quiet when I used the jaybird freedom for phonecalls.
Im looking to buy a bluetooth headset for phonecalls, hope Mpow FreeGo will be good. Though i have the experience, when I am in a noisy enviroment, if I use a one-ear headset, I can't hear the other person on the phone. Not because the headset is not good, but because my other ear is exosed to the noisy enviroment. I guess that wouldn't be a problem for a 2-ear headset.
Good review, but i don't think it is worth buying, because the design and the specifications, the tronfy iwork mini 4.0 is better than this one, only $16.99, but longer battery life and more different earbuds.
Also has 15% Coupon now: GBJC7XNK
I own the Mpow also. Funny I thought I had lost my Mpow and pulled out 3 of older brands I've tried but didnt like. After a week with the older one, I quickly ordered 2 new Mpow's then found the missing Mpow in the trunk of my car LOL. I'm a big fan of the Mpow FreeGo
Hello
I have had two Z3s - I remember the first unit having a pleaseantly low pitched sound and a "masculine", less sharp/edgy of a feeling to the vibration; especially compared to the Z2. Unfortunately I had to have my unit replaced with a new one and even though they both run the same, latest firmware with the default factory settings, the new unit's vibration has a different feel to it, one that I find unpleaseant. I actually used the diagnostics menu of the phone and compared it to a demo phone in the store to listen to the pitch of the sound the vibrators make and it did seem to me that there was a difference and that mine was a little too "edgy" and high pitched.
Does anybody here have a similar experience to share or can somebody come up with a reasonable explanation to this... or is this only the ocd in my head?
Is the OnePlus 6T as good-looking as you are (despite your receding hairline, adult-onset acne, and massive weight gain)? Rate this thread to express whether you think the OnePlus 6T is attractive. A higher rating indicates that you would even go as far to say that the OnePlus 6T is a beautiful phone.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I like the new notch. It's so small it's actually cute!!
It has a notch, the corners are so rounded that it bleeds into everything. Overall an OK looking phone, but definitely not good looking.
I think everyone would agree that a notchless phone looks better; but as far as notches go this is one is not so bad.
Overall I'm very happy with the screen and the build quality.
So is the OnePlus 6t natty or juicy?
The corner radii are a weak point of the 6T. It's a poor design choice by Oneplus.
I like the overall look but the back of the phone should be metal not glass. glass is cheap not premium material.

Indeed. That's so retro.
I love this phone very much ..
I think the phone looks awesome. The notch is fine. The mat black finish I purchased is really nice as well. The build feels very high quality and durable.

No headphone jack is the future. Wireless earbuds are finally usable and affordable. Who wants to be wired to their phone.

I'm highly disagree with you and cannot understand you ether. Why people like you willing to pay those retarded companies and eat there shi....t trash.
I'm using Bluetooth headphones as well as wired headphones when need to save battery, plus flexibility
and I do not need new phone for big dollar without needed features.
Also, we are living in very dark age when we have such trash battery technologies with such extremely low capacity and other garbage characteristics.
and because if it, Bluetooth headphones are still barely usable garbage.
and even battery will became way better tomorrow, I will still demand headphone jack for flexibility !!
Just picked it up, wow 1st one plus I own. Love everything about it.... Super happy

Yes. Combined with the notch and rounded corners the status bar looks stupid.

The phone comes with a USBC to 3.5MM jack adapter. Why are you crying? You sound like a little kid that didn't get what he wanted, when he wanted, so even if enjoyable labels it as bad.
The phone is very thin, the bezels are extremely small. The notch is awesome. Idk about you guys but I have a S8 and it doesn't have a notch, RESULTING in huge black bezels. The bezels are so small that if you are holding it in landscape your hand will be covering the notch and the whiny people that won't buy a phone because of it, won't have to see it. It does have some very weird curves, but they aren't even noticeable unless you are like "hurr durr lemme look for something to complain about". It honestly looks like a device Apple would sue for having rounded corners and texting capability, so that's saying something.
The worst part and only bad part about the phone, is the fact that they include so many settings and customization right out of the box, that we can't even move the clock from the left to the right like every phone I used since 2010. Now THAT is something to be butthurt about. But come on, a notch or a 3.5mm jack when it comes with USBC-to-3.5mm adapter? That's not something to cry about...

I do not need any extra trash like USBC to 3.5MM jack adapter !!
there is no need for discussions. I demand to include this highly important feature on my phone !!

Sounds like you don't need speakers in your phone. I'm gonna let every phone make in the world know to remove phone speakers from every new phone cuz apparently you use the 3.5mm jack 24/7. Why have and pay for phone speakers if you use a 3.5mm jack 24/7? It's a waste of money/space/weight I agree

totally agree, the speaker on my phone is more than enough to be the smallest mono but the highest quality of course in the phone about $1000 usd.
There is absolutely no animation upon Face Unlock (quick unlock), Screen Unlock, screen on, screen off, and transition from ambient display to lock screen. The screen just pops on and off. It makes the experience so cheap and jarring to me that despite having registered my fingerprint, I always turn on lock screen to use Face Unlock and then slide to unlock from the lockscreen.
I'd rather the experience be slowed down a bit than deal with such jarring experience. Even just a short fade will do. I'd beg OnePlus for this (if they can hear me). The phone is so fast already anyway.

OnePlus is all about speed... I and many others hate the slow animations
I was so excited to see the LG Tone I ordered from you arrive today!
from buyon.pk I like the design and color scheme. The sound quality is great and the battery life is even better. but I am a lover of these kinds of Accessories can someone please suggest to me these kinds of good products?
