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 li

Google-owned Motorola has launched its new android Smartphone, the Moto E, as a follow-up to the hugely popular Moto G . Boasting a 4.3-inch display, the new mid-high-segment ‘budget’ android Smartphone runs on 4.4 KitKat OS and comes at $129 (without carrier contract, see UK and India price below). For starters, the Smartphone is decent on functionality like its popular predecessor Moto G, and is big on storage here. The E boasts of a huge 4GB internal storage, and – if you are a data junkie – a MicroSD bit that can support 32GB expandable memory. In terms of imaging functionality, I would not really advise you to be optimistic. The Moto E’s camera is not so much to celebrate about if you insist on sharp selfies. The device has only a 5-mega pixel rear camera, but that is more than a decent set of megapixels if you compare it to phones like the older Samsung Wave series, for example. The Samsung Wave suffered from nothing more than 2-3 megapixels. That was seriously sad.
