I received a PocketGo handheld emulation console today. I got it from: https://retromimi.com/products/pocketgo-retro-gaming-system

It feels pretty solid while also being lightweight. It is very, very handlet-sized, though:

As for emulation, It seems *okay* as far as speed, but there are occasional hiccups with sound.

2019-07-17 23:43:42 UTC  

But the one thing that makes it a solid *meh* is the screen. Apparently, it's a 30 hz display, so it gets wretched screen tearing if you're playing something that's supposed to be 60 hz.

Probably won't bother you in turn based/slower games, but for something faster, it will be very, very distracting.

2019-07-17 23:46:16 UTC  

Side note: the unit comes with Famicom style buttons, but there are spares in the package that make it a super famicom, Which I ended up installing. It was a pain in the ass, since you have to unscrew the console, pry it apart, install the buttons (which just sit in sockets), and the shoulder buttons and other buttons will fall out seemingly at random. It took me about 30 minutes to do it. If I had known, I would have just kept the original buttons. There are now smudges on the INSIDE of the screen because of my hamhanded attempts to do this. No way am I gonna spend the time to completely disassemble it to do it again.

2019-07-17 23:47:32 UTC  

But as of now, *for the price*, I'd call this ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ <:nostar:600452015142731776> <:nostar:600452015142731776>

2019-07-17 23:49:07 UTC  

PS: The chinks shipped this full of games, too, which would get any dropshipper BTFO if they got found out.

2019-07-18 12:41:06 UTC  

Got it for $1.35 total.
Really huge, and at 32m gonna last forever.
Feels solidly built and not like its gonna split in half any second.
Adheres without issues, no problems where the white layer might split off from the paper.
No issue where the tape runs off to the side and gets jammed.
Instantly dries, writing on top of it has no problems where your pen starts peeling the correction tape off.
Entirely hides what you went over ie. it isn't see through.

2019-07-18 12:41:51 UTC  

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
Would buy again.

2019-07-20 03:20:49 UTC  

Got these on same day shipping, out of the box performance is an absolute meme. 0 mids or treble, thicc af bass. When EQ'd they sound great, nice details, and the bass don't bleed into the mids.

Video syncing is an issue tho, haven't tried SBC yet but AAC delay is massive.

They're QCY T1S BTW, I can't seem to find the QS models within China at all.

For $15, I rate them ⭐:star:⭐:star:<:nostar:600452015142731776>

2019-07-20 03:24:02 UTC  

4/5 because out of box performance sucks

Peacock P1 IEMs ($200)

Figured I’d give these a proper review in a more permanent place. Peacock is a company that’s virtually unheard of even in chi-fi discussion boards, but I took the gamble anyways because of their stunning looks. But tldr is that they’re actually fantastic, easily as good as my DM6 with tuning that’s more in line with my music tastes.

Sound Quality – Sound quality is superb, especially at the price point. I have to compare it to my DM6 because it’s actually very similar – crisp, clean, and well-separated notes with no fuss. Some people describe the sound of earphones like this as “cold” or “harsh” but I call it “accurate”. These are not, however, focused in on accuracy and delivering audio at reference tuning. They are very bass-heavy, with mid-bass and low bass (but not subs) coming out especially prominent. Mids are recessed. I primarily listen to electronic music so this tuning is perfect for me. They’re not as bass-heavy as my V-Moda Crossfade 2 Wireless, but overall the sound profile is very similar. IMPORTANT: Most phones will not deliver enough power for these earphones. I recommend using a DAP/amp unless you *know* your phone will deliver enough power (my LG V30 works fine).

Build Quality and Comfort – Good sound can be ruined by poor fit and weak build quality. This is a weak point for a lot of Chi-Fi brands, since it’s easy for them to skimp on materials while still getting rave reviews about sound. The P1 are made with acrylic/glass that is smooth and solid, but I don’t expect them to survive if I ever step on them. They use 2-pin connections that are generally more durable than MMCX. As for comfort, they fit my ear well and rest naturally, much more so than Tin T2s or my old RHA t20. I’d say my DM6 fit my ears a little better but I imagine this changes for each person.

2019-07-25 03:27:25 UTC  

Looks – I’m a sucker for looks. And these are, simply put, the most beautiful IEMs I’ve ever owned. There are around 15 different color options to choose from, all of which look great. I ordered mine in “Flame” and I’m very pleased with the results. They are hand-painted from the inside with a small but stylish accent of Peacock’s logo on the face plate. I love these things and love to show them off.

Accessories – Never have I received headphones with so many accessories at such high quality. You get leather cable clips and a leather carrying case with nice magnetic clamping. They also come with a braided silver-core cable that is very sturdy BUT has a very poorly-built connector. Replacement cable is on the way but the stock one still works well. They come with an array of silicon tips, none of which I’ve tried since I already have tips that I know fit my ears well. The icing on the cake is, for me, the included wireless audio cable. It’s very simple and has hilariously poor Chinese voice prompts for on/off, connecting, etc, but it provides enough power and Bluetooth bitrate to make the earphones sound great.

Tldr – It’s like a BGVP DM6 with bass-heavy tuning and impeccable visual presentation. These are quickly becoming my favorite headphones in my collection.

I ordered a Mi 9t (also known as k20) on aliexpress. The seller took his time to send the phone (around 10 days) but once he did the order arrived very quickly since I paid 27$ for DHL. On the seller's page it was written that if you choose DHL you wouldn't have to pay an import tax if you are in the EU like me and there really were no extra costs. The problem with the screen is due to badly placed screen protector which is kind of my fault and easily fixable BTW. Anyways MIUI sucks (nova launcher was one of the first things I installed) and the camera is allright I suppose. I don't take selfies so I don't give a shit about the front camera but the notchless design is great. I enjoy playing with the fingerprint reader under the display since its very satisfying. Overall I am very happy with my purchase and it is a nice upgrade over my redmi note 4 in almost every way.

Xiaomi 10L Backpack [$8 w/ shipping]

As expected, it's really small and looks nice. Just to test how much it could carry, I managed to fit a 13" Macbook w/ charger, 2 notebooks, an umbrella, adidas shorts and a pair of shoes. Pretty much little to no space to add anything else.

That being said, it feels and looks like you're wearing a childrens backpack and only has a thin layer of back padding with not a lot of protection for casually tossing/dropping it.

For $8 it's not bad at all, but wouldn't use it for anything more than a secondary backpack for occasions that go well with downsizing.

2019-09-12 22:29:53 UTC  

(Will review Xiaomi Soocas X3 and Soocas SO WHITE toothbrushes when that comes in)

2019-09-21 00:46:02 UTC  

New pins today. The quality is good, but they're a tad small. Still satisfied. They come with those janky plastic backers, but I'll be replacing those with metal locking types.

2019-09-21 00:48:10 UTC  

For the price, 3 dollars isn't bad at all for all 4

2019-09-25 22:37:06 UTC  

$8 Xaiomi 10L backpack arrived, smaller than I expected. Looks pretty tiny, but once it's loaded and worn loose, it doesn't look so bad. If you're taller (183 cm) than me, it'll probably look like a child's backpack.

Fabric is VERY thin and chinky (see close up). My intended use as a "laptop, charger, and accessories" day to day bag is definitely something I wouldn't recommend as I don't feel confident at all with it. It makes sense for carrying a few things, but putting a laptop in it is probably asking for it to tear apart (if you use it every day)

2019-09-25 22:38:10 UTC  

Compared with a 13" laptop

$17 USD headphone stand, not exactly the greatest price, but a lot better than the over $200 (((sieveking))) wants to charge you for their original version. No smells, just big enough for K7XX variants as pictured.
