Raptic Rise Headphone Stand review

If you’ve ever purchased a quality pair of over-ear headphones, you surely know how nice it is to have them on display. If not just because it’s easier to grab them, it’s also fun to show them off. Keeping headphones in a box or carrying pouch is cool and all, but hanging them in plain sight is better.

The Raptic Rise Headphones Stand, priced about $70, is not only a solidly-build unit for holding your headphones, but it also has a base for wireless charging, too. Indeed, it’s a great multifunction device that begs to sit on your desk or night stand.

When it’s time to charge your phone, or simply put it aside for work, place it on the wireless charging pad. It will juice your device to the tune of 12W, or pretty damn fast for cord-free charging.

 

There’s also a USB-A port in the base which lets you plug in your headphones. Or, if you’ve got a Nintendo Switch or some other portable gadget, plug it directly in and draw power.

Standout Features

  • Solid machined aluminum for durability
  • Base pad provides 12W Qi for wireless device charging
  • USB-A port for headphone charging
  • Cable management system on bottom to coil access wires
  • Sleek modern design

Bottom Line

If you’re in the market for a stand for your best headphones, you’d be wise to grab one that pulls double or triple duty. The Raptic Rise is built from premium materials and has a clean, modern design that looks at home in any environment.

Where to Buy the Raptic Rise Headphone Stand

As of the time of publishing this review, the Raptic Rise Headphone Stand can be purchased for about $70.

Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Pro review

Andrew Allen

0

Soundcore has become one of my favorite brands over the last few years. For those that may not know, this audio-centric Anker sub-brand specializes in mostly wireless audio accessories for consumers. How does the company’s newly announced Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Pro stack up to this history? Very well, actually. Let’s dive in.

Design

I really like the design of the Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Pro earbuds. They have a familiar teardrop and stem shape, but this leads to a very comfortable fit while listening. The stem lays gently on the outside of the ear and really stabilizes the earbud while in your ear.

Speaking of comfort, the silicon tips that Soundcore has provided should give you many fits to make sure you can find the right side. This allows you to secure the Liberty Air 2 Pro in each ear and helps fend off outside noise.

Audio and calls

I couldn’t be happier with audio and phone calls. Anker has nailed this with the Soundcore team with the Liberty Air 2 Pro headset. You have rich playback of music and podcasts with some really active noise cancellation that is instantly noticeable.

We’ll get back to the ANC features, but let’s focus on the pure music playback first. Anker has worked with Grammy-winning producers to help fine-tune this experience. Pair that with the 10 hardened nano-layered drivers, and you have exceptional sound quality for such a small package.

To round out this listening experience you have targeted active noise cancellation. This allows you to choose from three different environmental settings to help the microphones dictate how feedback is given while using the Liberty Air 2 Pro earbuds.

We’ve recently covered this with our over-ear Soundcore Q30 review, but this is offered in Transport, Indoor, and Outdoor listening profiles. Transport targets things like car engines, trains, and airplanes to be eliminated; Indoor focuses on dampening chatter from human voices; Outdoor hopes to quiet wind and general environmental noise.

Calls also take advantage of the tech on board the Liberty Air 2 Pro. I had no issues placing multiple phone calls during my time with the earbuds. Both ends of each conversation were clear and well-received with no drops or muffled voices.

App and touch controls

All these profiles can easily be changed inside the Soundcore companion mobile app. Just tap your device on the home page and you can set the ambient sound profile you prefer. You can also choose Transparency mode that allows for more ambient feedback to make it to your ears. This comes in handy in work settings where you may be listening to audio but still need to be aware of surroundings or co-workers trying to interact.

Another thing you can control inside the app is the Liberty Air 2 Pro touch options. Each earpiece has a capacitive strip on the outside of the stem for some basic options. By default, this is a double-tap on the left earbud to go to the next track and the right will play/pause the song.

A long-press is the other functional gesture control with the standard-setting for both earbuds to cycle through the Ambient noise options. However, you can change the double-tap or extended hold to many other shortcuts: volume up, volume down, previous, and voice assistant.

Battery

You might think with such a small form-factor that the Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Pro earbuds might skimp on runtime, but you’d be mistaken. The Liberty Air 2 Pro buds were able to last me a full shift of work excluding my lunch. This is right on par with the estimated playback of 7 hours per charge.

Just in case you do run out of juice, a top-off is conveniently available from the carrying case. The case will get you another three charges for somewhere around 26 hours of total audio enjoyment. Another couple of perks is that the charging case has both USB-C and Qi wireless charging to recharge the complete bundle again.

Conclusion

I really enjoyed my time with the Soundore Liberty Air 2 Pro wireless earbuds. These audio buds will give you quality music playback, crystal clear phone calls, and some interesting active noise cancellation for $130. This pits the Liberty Air 2 Pro against the AirPods Pro for over $100 less.

You just can’t beat that and I will be surprised if you are disappointed in your choice. One more win is the awesome color variants Soundcore has chose this year. You can choose between Onyx Black, Titanium White, Sapphire Blue, and Crystal Pink. All have a slight metallic finish to them that’s hard to capture in photos but does make the Liberty Air 2 Pro headsets stand out in person.

These are available now at both Soundcore’s website and Amazon.

Google improves performance of Meet and Zoom on Chromebooks

Google has a real winner for the year of the pandemic in Chromebooks. The devices are deployable and easily maintained for cloud-based remote work. This past year of 2020 has driven the largest growth the company has seen for Chrome OS devices.

Mountain View has decided to invest more into this trend with on-going improvements to Meet and a new partnership with Zoom. Google sees these changes as a way to make sure education and remote workers have a more fluid experience with both its in-house Meet platform as well as the dominant player that Zoom has become.

It’s all about the dynamics

The main alteration Google has made is how Meet sessions are streamed. The company claims its optimized the backend processes on how Chrome OS handles the network and bandwidth. Meet now takes into account device, open streams, and even simultaneous chats taking place while on calls.

Google hopes this leads to less dropped sessions by instead altering the resolution and screen frame rates to keep the stream going while other things are hitting the network. This is much the same way content streaming services like YouTube and Netflix handle network jams while playing a video. Using this same type of approach on live calls seems like a natural progression for Google Meet.

Education specifics

Google also notes that it added a few things to make the classroom setting a little easier. You can now raise your hand, use a virtual whiteboard, break out rooms, and polls inside the Meet interface. These additions are a great way to make sure teachers have features to utilize with the kids in their classrooms.

Zoom gets some love too

Google recognizes that Meet doesn’t meet all the needs of every user. Engineers have been at work with the Zoom team to make sure some of these tweaks make it to that platform as well. The main of which is dynamic streaming. Zoom will now adapt to the network and system payload to lower or raise the stream quality as needed.

Video calls have been crucial over this crazy last year and looks to continue in 2021. It’s nice to see Google continuing to invest in both Meet and Zoom for Chromebooks.

Google Fit adds heart rate and respiratory rate measuring

Google will soon add a pair of new health tracking tools to its Google Fit. The update, which is expected to arrive in March, will introduce heart rate and respiratory rate measurement.

The first phones to see the additional features are in the Google Pixel family, however it’s not clear as to how far back Google plans to roll it out.

Taking advantage of sensors built into the phone’s camera, Google can measure both heartrate and respiratory rate. To track your heartrate, it will ask users to place their finger over the camera where it will look for subtle changes in color. As for respiratory rate, it will employ the front-facing camera and analyze chest movements in breathing.

While these measurements aren’t meant for medical diagnosis or to evaluate medical conditions, we hope they can be useful for people using the Google Fit app to track and improve day-to-day wellness.

Google Fit users can opt to save the readings in the app to monitor trends over time.

If you own a Google Pixel phone, keep your eyes peeled for the Google Fit update which will start in a few week’s time. Other Android-based devices are expected to see the update in the future.

How to securely access any site without being tracked

AndroidGuys

Since the use of internet became a vital daily activity for everybody, more and more people are being concerned about the safety of their private data. And it happens for a reason.

The majority of internet users are aware that our online activity is tracked. Otherwise, people could do whatever comes to their minds in the internet space and, unfortunately, not everybody has good intentions. So, on one hand our activity is being supervised for our safety. While, on the other hand, it’s hard to come to conclusion whether it is actually safe when it comes to each of us personally.

Many companies are known to sell users’ data to third party companies, which can later be used for commercial adjustment, considered as a base of interests and so on. These companies get a certain insight on what we like, judging by our interests and the sites that we often visit. Well, then how can we get some privacy while surfing the web? The answer is simple — a Virtual Private Network. With VPN you can access Football livescore on Buaksib or Netflix from the country where it is restricted.

VPNs are incredibly useful for those who care about their internet freedom and privacy. VPNs listed on VPN Busters work by switching your real IP address to a new one, which makes the tracking of your online activity impossible. Thanks to the variety of such services, you can even choose a country where you want your IP address from to access a particular blocked website.

How VPN works

The algorithm is pretty simple and can be explained in one sentence. A VPN establishes a  safe connection between your device and the site you visit through a secure server, which makes it impossible for mobile providers to track your online activity. Just like this, your data stays safe and your surfing untraced, as it should be. You check more on how to unblock popular websites on vpn-th.com.

When choosing among free and paid VPN, we suggest getting a paid one, also due to safety reasons. They are known to keep users data safe and don’t show annoying commercials that are more likely to waste your time rather than actually be useful.

Is there any other way I can stop activity tracking?

VPN is the most reliable and fast way to access the content you need in an incognito mode. It can make your internet activity private in just two clicks. Isn’t it a reasonable point to try it?

Apart from improving the security of your data, VPN can also help you view any geo-restricted content, which is a struggle for many tourists and locals. Travelers often face the problem of accessing their home country content, due to the restrictions put on these websites in different countries.

Why does this happen? Some governments consider the information, posted on a number of sites, inappropriate, invalid and even harmful for their society, so they decide to block it.

In order to bypass such restrictions, VPNs were created. In a contemporary world, it’s one of the most powerful internet tools, which every active internet user should try at least once.
