Super VIB 520 in 1 Console

 So, from the fun times of Goose fair, comes bits and pieces of tat and ideas to review which some of them have some good terms. But this idea was to find out what option can show on this, this a blogpost review and can show what some tat is like. But either way. enjoy this. Since most of this ends up from Aliexpress. This was bargained down from £15 to £10 

The Packaging: 

Its quite a vivid box with the mix of red and white for the box. Alot of misspellings but the text is not as existent but there is a sticker over the 169 in 1 to 520 in 1 and 40 VIB. The controllers were shown as well as the box contents on the left hand side of the box too.

The right side of the box 

The back of the box

The bottom of the box 

As we tuck in to the box via a bit of tape to remove and lift up, we see the console then the controllers and micros USB underneath. But the controllers being USB C would have good implications but as I find out later, they are nerfed.

So we then go to the manual which folds out a bit and yet does not explain most but it is there to explain how to do the basics albet it is a very basic console.

A look at the other sider 

But that seems to be the packaging for the most part and not much else to say, it was neatly packed in there. But now it is time to test: 

The Testing: 

The controllers: 

Simple line here of NO, they do NOT get recognised on both Android or Windows devices aka no input sounds or device manager refreshes when plugged in, so this means no use for them other than this console. So only basic is indeed true. They are quite short cables at only 1m long or so too. 

The Console

 

So this to setup was not too bad but basic USB input and then a normal usb for power is good and the 3.5mm jack to av is a standard to make it easier to connect to.

The controller connected at the front 

But then, it w time to power it on and it actually appear very quickly .. It plugged in to the TV's USB Port, then the AV port. then switching input on the TV, , the Picture and Chip tune melody was loud crystal clear. It was nice to begin with but will end up being annoying after scrolling down many menus later.

The welcome screen

But then it got to trying out the 40 in 1 

The 40 In 1 - Vibrate me 

So the key of the 40 in 1 was to enable the use of the controllers vibration, which some of the Popular NES titles like Mario bros and Road Runner and some others even. But I only managed to try a Road runner style game and it felt Good to play, the controller was a bit short but it played reasonable depending on the buttons used, but the BUZZ from the controllers is quite strong on that side so it does make it a plus, maybe even enough to make it a vibrator possible. 

Road Runner 

Now that was pretty fun but the controller does have its short merit. Like sure the buttons you have to guess which ones minus start and something else but it does play, the D-pad is not too unstable.  But it felt nice to enjoy some nostalgia and its easier to use compared to the previous ones like the superjoy that even Trago used to sell. But in the end of the day, it does work out to be something nice and workable for passing time. 

480 in 1 - Alot of hacks and not sure 

Lets be honest, going through this amount of games on this and not even sure if many of them work properly is one thing to consider. But some interesting ones like DigDug II and a few Mario rom hacks and even ice climber joins its ranks. 

But there we go on that side of things 

The Conclusion: 

Its one of those retro pirated consoles for usual. Sure there is an aspect to is with the vibration and that could have been its ideal if they were compatible with other devices like Android or Windows since that would have made things ALOT easier, but sadly that was nerfed, i mean HDMI out would not have jumped up that much to the price either so that was a missed feature but again I paid £10 for it so it is a what do you expect for that kinda thing. 

omracer's Rating: 3/10

The Good Points: 

• Micro USB for Power
• Type C ports mean easy controller connectivity
• A nice-ish menu layout
• Good Value due to bargained down 
• Some Classic Titles 

The Bad Points: 

• No HDMI out
• Type C controllers do NOT work on other devices like Android or Windows devices (Not even detected or seen in device manager) 
• The Games are too many and some corrupted rom hacks so no idea if crashing or not

And so that is it and more reviews coming at some point, but we can see how it goes from there and if it ends up more reviews towards the end of 2022 which i tell you feels a struggle and a half recently.

Zimai Bluetooth Earphones SBE01

Well, this was only 1 part of a bundle that as Ordered from Maibenben for a laptop which would hopefully fulfil my goals for streaming games better. But that will be for another time. But for this, its a needed thing to have due to the number of visits and phone calls I'm having lately makes things needed to well work. This review is to partly see the potential of these Earphones for £30.11 (£8.58 for the earphones and £22.52 for the customs fee).

The box of what this review has a part of 

The video is below:

The packaging: 

The outer box: 

This one has a very tablet feel to it and also very modern. It has the styling and colour scheme of maibenben in there as well as a front picture of the earphones.  It just reminds me off the onda tablet in a way. 

The front of the box

On the sides does not have much minus the Zimai logo. But the back has a unique thing where the label is upside down which is odd but works in its own style like when you flip the box upside its easier to read.

The inner box 

Then we open the box up and see the lovely layout  of the foam around the earphones and a small box in the middle for the charging cable and the earphone cap. The manual was on top and its pretty detailed but all in Chinese for this one.

A clearer image of the box and the earphones 

The shape of them is well like ahead which is fitting for the name but it also shows a bit of how the earphones will fit on you. But then it was to look at them and actually it was a bit of rubber based cable. The actual plugs themselves are magnetic the other end which is a clever composition to make it easier to cable table.

The earbuds are magnetic. 

then we have the panels on the earphones, with a microphone a control panel with the charging port. Now that is the key since this is charged via micros USB as well as the 3 buttons for Power, Volume up and Volume down.

Then we have the inner box with the cable, and the earpieces to make sure that #allearsizesmatter so that people can make sure they are comfy as they wear them for long term use. There was a Micro USB cable as well as a genuine certificate card ot make this known they are the real deal.

a detailed look at what's inside the small box 

But then it was time to get these going. How we charge it up and make sure it pairs to the Phone. Due to the time, this was only tested with the Redmi Note 7, but will work on other devices like the Vita TV and the PS4 and PS3 and any PC with a Bluetooth 4.1 device. 

Time to set it up: 

1: The First charge: 

Well, this was a tricky one to try to pull the tab out in the correct way to let the Micro USb Cable fit in this properly.  In the end, it turns out I did not pull the tab properly. So this means it might not have gone in but With the EE powerbar, I did get it to charge.

A closer look at how it charges

 Then once that was done, it was to leave it to make sure there was a charge. The manual mentions a 9H standby time and a 1 to 2 hour talk time. So quite low in mode cases but I will explain the battery life later on. Now it was time to pair it 

2: The Pairing and setup: 

For this, I had to just how the middle button-down and a lady says welcome or turning on and then the LED was flashing Red and blue, then it was going to the Settigns and then Bluetooth to then tap on the SB101 in the list and then it was paired.

The settings to show it has been paired. 

With that all done it was time to really test to see how they were. 

The Testing: 

1) fitting on the ear.

This one is more complex than I thought since there are only small markings for L  and R as well as both each of the rubber. But it was making it curl into my heart the right way which was there a tricky part of all this. It managed to get in my ear correctly in the end. There is a nice feature of the rubber strrewthci9nbg over the front to make it fit say if you have larger ears or something along those lines.

How it looks on my left ear

But it was sometimes that tricky issue of making sure it was in the right way around so it does seem like the cable was crossed and the ears around the wrong sides. But the benefit here is that they were staying in without much hassle and it also has a strap around the back., 

How it looks when crossed over 

The strap around the back

When I was running it did not drop out, when I was walking it did not drop out. But when cycling there was a chance it was dropping out at least 3 times but only after putting the helmet on and not randomly when cruising down hills or puffing my way up a steep street

2) Sound Quality. 

No word of a line, this is actually better than I expected. it really does give off a good sound with Base on some songs tested Via Youtube and it was loud too since the video did pickup the music playing from them 

3) Recording Quality.

Actually, this was very good, I mean recording from the headphones with the phone placed away from mean means it was recording from it and that I know it means I can keep it working without any hassle. I mean even when I had to record something for future reference I know it works. 

4) Phone calls. 

Well, this was the main issue with the reason i wanted to get this. Actually, it did make things work better for calling, I could press the middle button once to answer the call, which only 2 calls did not work. The signal was okay with it, I mean only on 2 Bares of 4G using VoIP/Sip then I did get told the word "incomprehensible" But I could hear the other end crystal clear, which means it was safer and comfortable to actually use these when travelling. 

5) Battery Life

Now actually for this, the battery life says 9hrs standby and 1 to 2 hours talking, but for what I had used them for, I did not have to worry about losing battery, i mean for what i used on 2 day of work, it did not actually use more than 20% of the battery life 

Conclusion: 

These earphones are much better than I was expecting them to be and they pulled through for what was needed, they easily paired to my Redmi note 7. The quality of the sound is good, the volume is loud if put on the max volume and also the call quality is good if the signal is strong and its comfortable to use and there is less of a chance the battery will die when i really need it. But the customs charge and the hard to fit the rubber bands in makes this not as amazing in other regards. 

omracer's Rating: 6/10

The Good Points: 

• Good value if it was not for the customs
• Nice design 
• Good sound quality for playback 
• the Mic sound quality is good too 
• A strap around the back of the head 
• Micro USb Charging 
• Easy to pair to a phone or device 
• Stays in the ear for most of the time 
• Good battery life 

The Bad Points: 

• The customs charge can be a nightmare which means these cost £30 normal 
• The rubber straps are hard to fit on in the correct manner 
• Can be easy to get it the wrong way around or cross over the neck 
• The Tab for the micro USB port can make it a tight fit 

And there we have it , a review of something useful I need in my life really. But more review from the Maibenben bundle is out soon on top of work but that will be a hard one to work with for time-wise. But see you then
