Three good condition for the success of the trip to the auto-smooth road without trouble, the company of friends and, of course, good music. But what if the car is machine, released in the times when the head of the format has not yet been suspected?

Before the road can change to a new auto. But, as we know, to leave money to keep things do not occur. It is therefore better to resort to a simple budgetary decision. Buy a special device-FM transmitter, charged MRZ-pleer favorite music, and boldly go in the way!

It is how to use the company's TuneCast II from Belkin could even child. Subscribe to any audio with the built - 3,5-mm cable, ask frequency signal transmission (which should be free), set the radio and enjoy.

Dimensions TuneCast II-75 × 50x25 mm. Design lucky: trunk attached to the edge of the device similar to inexpensive player. At large monochrome display indicates frequency signal transmission.

The transmitter is supplied by two AAA batteries or from the road smoker. If during the minute signal from the player does not do, TuneCast II is automatically disabled. This saves the batteries. The new battery by about 10 hours.

The device works in the range of 88.1 to 107.9 MHz. Office settings frequencies by two buttons on the right of the screen. The transmitter can operate at a distance of 10 meters from the antenna. But for a better reception is not recommended to keep the transmitter beyond 3 meters. TuneCast II remembers 4 free channel. If in the course of the trip in one of the channels appear radio transmitter, you can quickly switch.

To test used SNh player from iRiver and long-cluster Auto Pioneer radio. Player and the transmitter had been placed in storage. Reception was good, but the message has still easy. Win TuneCast II FM station could not. During his visit, the city often appear interference and noise, but no more than that seen on FM channels. Volume good, but at maximum player better not to in order to avoid distortions.

TuneCast II device for auto, but you can use it at home. It may be easier to dispense with cables, but there is a gauge transmitter-why not? In the device plus: good quality, the level of the signal. Of the minuses can be noted that there is no cord from nice complete and the price of 45 dollars, it could be lower.

Why might want amplifier for headphones? For two reasons. First, the quality hi-end- "ears" could not "even" upgrade MRZ- player powerful. The second reason is the desire to make a sound "medium" headband slightly better, giving warmth and brightness of the sound.

To test used two models Sennheiser headphones: hi-end- model HD600 and easy but good HD201.

Only one player who visits in our test lab has been able to hand signal sufficient to allow the volume HD600 has been more or less acceptable. Those on the Cowon iAudio 6. Power goes signal other devices lacked - HD600 play around quietly.

HeadRoom assisted BitHead can be used in two ways. First-connect MRZ-player a gadget to the entrance line, and the exit-headphones.

The second way is to connect the amplifier to the USB port of your PC. In HeadRoom BitHead attends own converter (DAC), so that the amplifier can operate as external sound card. The device automatically recognized by the HR-Windows device drivers is not required. Of course, BitHead not add up to the same external Audigy 2 NX, but the sound quality markedly better than notebook When connecting to the PC food comes from the USB.

"In the portable mode," HeadRoom BitHead works from four AAA batteries that are in short supply by about 30 hours. It is a good indicator, because modern players rarely worked from one charge longer.

Two buttons on the shell - Gain and Crossfeed-permit, respectively, and to raise the volume a little confused signal channels, improving the overall picture. Gain will not need to most headphones-only for a very "lots". Crossfeed can and should be used on recordings, where left and right channels are too dispersed, which is not uncommon in poor-quality compression.

After connecting to the mobile amplifier several players, it was noted not only increasing volume, but also a marked improvement in sound quality. Of course, the level of audiofilskom speech is not to the players, and portable. But there is a change: the frequency started better shared, bass became more juicy.

The appliance has several disadvantages. When using at maximum volume with the HD600 amplifier "roars" is not enough power. A circuit breaker failed. In a bag accidentally HeadRoom BitHead can be involved, leading to defuse batteries. Even minus-big size and weight and high price of 200 dollars. Nevertheless, with its task well copes amplifier is the main plus.

Packing

Box device very heavy and the whole has different pictures and inscriptions. However, no inscription in Russian, unfortunately, the box has not been found.

But inside, along with English and Russian-language instruction is available in A4 format. In addition to instructions in the box fond two CD with software and drivers, with a pen cap, three battery type SR41, spherical metallic blue rod and base for pens, while a paper clamp, which connects to the USB interface to your computer. Here is a simple equipment.

Construction

So, as you have already understood, pen consists of two main parts-ball directly transmitter hardware and basic block-Clamping the paper, while a further signal receiver. Admissibility of transmission in the infrared range.
The design and appearance of pens

Pen is a very good shape and is in good hands. Black Corps completed its plastics, but in appearance seems fairly solid. The metal rod inserted in the working party hands.
The rod is firmly fixed inside the shell. What he captured, and as difficult to say, because corpus undeleted. Moreover, the instructions strictly under strictly prohibited device damage rotate one half pens on the other.

Outdoors rod pulling through metal flower extractor (it is called a device in the service manual), located on the transparent plastic cap. This cap is only one unfortunate and completely understood me disadvantage. Where you give cap, lifting it with the usual pen? Right, dress him in the back of the pen. In the present case, so do not be, because the place where you want to wear cap, far more of the cap, there is get off part of the battery compartment.

USB Cafe Pad

USB heating, but not so functional, but from the same unknown producer. Delivered in transparent plastic wrap, which shows through the device (on the one hand) and a brief description (other).

The device met White (above) and black plastic (bottom). The form reminds square with concave sides. At the front and the sides did not useful at the back of the button is included heating and cable connection to the USB port. A top ten, compared with USB HUB & Warmer height slightly less, and the diameter of a little more that way not only to raise compact cup. Also on top is the indicator. On the table is USB Cafe Pad on four legs with rubber linings.

Indicator device only. Light green and light when heated.

This heating is a little better than USB HUB & Warmer, but not so much to make measurements of the time. Ten heated to 40-80 degrees Celsius in different locations. Like the previous USB heating, inclined to the same thoughts that must include pre-heated.

Value:

* Wide stand and low height near the heater.

Minuses:

* Net as such.

USB HUB & Warmer

The first guest is a USB heating, and so has a hub, all in lovely body. Paperboard Packaging simple - is the name of the product and illustrations appearance, nothing more.

Packing minimalist, list:

* Sam "Curve" USB HUB & Warmer;
* User's Guide.

Externally USB heater round, silver colour, with the notches on the sides and rear parts. Plastic body. Top ten is, height is not allowed to raise large cup. Also, there are two indicator. On the side are four USB 1.1 (wonder why the developers decided sdeat USB 1.1 instead of USB 2.0) that can be described as a small minus, if take on contemporary standards. Behind the device is a button including heating and goes USB cable. On bottom are rubber legs and ventilation openings.

As we said, the device has two indicator: one green, red second. Green lights when you connect the device to a USB port, and when you click on the red button, that is when heating.
Ten heated to 50-60 degrees Celsius in different places, the truth GREET not as good as hoped, but it is enough to make a cup of hot coffee (or tea, or even something, but necessarily hot) colded much longer than without heating. We thought that the best long-term preservation of high-temperature wine should include pre-heated, and then put the cup.

So now we can put the pros and devices:

Value:

* A four USB ports;
* Attractive design devices.

Minuses:

* Slow speed USB 1.1;
* Very large deck near ten.

Who is the producer of the magic of technology, with full confidence, we can not say, Made in China.

When people sit nerves, they do some strange things : pull forks in hand, ball pens in the table or stamps. But almost all people like bubbles on plastic packaging. Indeed,it is the same as engaging. Alas, the plastic bottles have a way sooner or later end. But do not give in or immediately apparent disheartening to find new packaging.

The Japanese company Bandai, which specialists in the 90 years invented Tamagotchi, try and here. This unusual; keyring has a very strange name. It is called “PuchiPuchi “.

Meaning title, a clear case is not that someone become swollen. Just such a strange way the Japanese are trying to reproduce the sound of bubbled bubbles. Lopat electronic ink can be until no earlier charge batteries. In addition audio device every 100 hits reproduces "bonus sound" - for example, the door bell. Incidentally, each begun gadget supplied in the form of bubbles heart.

Everyone knows dog - robot Aibo, which once produced firm Sony. Mechanical animall madly expensive cost, but in fact was completely useless. However, the curious people robo - dog buying and enterprising Chinese have make bunch of clones and counterfeiting under a computerized "friend rights."

Mostly, it appeared, developers firms Sega. The first monster (so, not otherwise) issued by the company, a dog iDog, which was similar to anything, not only for dogs (mostly, it resembled kitchen Combine), and able to create personal musical melodies. The next room was iFish fish, which has roughly the same there, but only in the water, and fish resembled Devonian period. A recent family musical freak added unclear mdzo deer with dogs, eyes that can express all kinds of emotions. Horned creature called MIO and costs about 75 dollars.
