Review: Brainwavz's new B150 earphones: Durable, balanced sound

Known for their premium-build quality at reasonable prices, Brainwavz's new B-Series line of earphones come with "Balanced Armature" technology for a richer listening experience.

Priced at Rs 7,499 (US $ 115.71), the B150 falls under over-the-ear design of headphones and comes in a small form factor.

Here is what works for the device.

The compact design allows for a comfortable fit. Small angled nozzles are ergonomically designed, ensuring maximum comfort over longer listening periods.

After the Y-split, there is a cinch that slides up and down to keep the earphones in place more securely, especially with over-the-ear wear.




At the core of the earphones is the "Single Balanced Armature" driver that provides better treble performance than dynamic drivers, has faster response and more detailed sound.

To review the audio performance of B150, we played various genres of tracks. Overall, we did not find any weakness. 

On tracks with intense sub-bass content like "Can't Hold Us" by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, B150 delivered thumping bass beats, vigorously complementing the pace of the lyrics and will surely captivate you.

The earphone also remained distortion-free, even at unsafe volume levels. On classical and non-bass heavy tracks, B150 sounded rich and balanced. 

To drive maximum comfort and well-balanced sound, correct selection of eartips is necessary and to ensure this, B150 comes with several sets of eartips of different sizes and designs to let you find the best fit.

Conclusion: If your music library includes hip hop, electronica and bass-heavy tracks, B150 is for you. (IANS, Anuj Sharma)

The only UC Browser version that works on Samsung Wave 525 (Bada OS)

It's been about 4 years since the Samsung Wave 525 was launched. When it came out in 2010, it was one of the best mid-segment "smartphones" that hit the market. How many momentous, technologically-superior smartphones have come and gone since the Bada OS Wave?  The 525 must now feel like a dinosaur - and it is. In terms of its web browser, the most troublesome dinosaur ever. Prior to using the Samsung Wave, I'd used several other phones and none gave me any problem when using the internet as did the 525.  Browsing experience had never been so much a problem unlike the one the 525 gave me since i bought it three years ago. The various versions of UC Browser , a nifty little mobile browser that was touted to be the "fastest browser" for mobile phones that time, was the choice of wave 525 users. The only problem? In a world where every app and gadget was either android or windows, none worked for Bada OS (Samsung's own operating system). The Sams...
