don't need to take the pendant off when showering or getting into bed takes the pressure off the situation. The GPS tracker is invaluable when out in the community. Thank you for your caring service

Good quality, good clarity on print too. Worst part was the shipping time, other than that solid product

The Birde is Perfect for Little Readers! We recently got the Birde for our two kids (ages 5 and 6), and I couldn't be happier with it! The… Read more

read-along books are absolutely fantastic! This is hands-down the standout feature for us. My kids love following along with the stories, complete with music and multiple character voices that really bring the books to life. As a parent, I love that it's helping them develop a genuine love for reading while they're still learning. There's something so special about watching them engage with physical books while the Birde guides them through the story - it feels far more educational and meaningful than just passive listening.

The tap-and-play seeds are brilliant - my kids find them so intuitive, and they're impressively durable. We've had our fair share of drops and tumbles, and everything still works perfectly!

The size and design are spot-on for little hands - it's lightweight and easy for young children to hold without worrying about them dropping it. You can tell it was made with kids in mind.

If you're looking for a device that encourages reading, sparks imagination, and is built to withstand the chaos of childhood - the Birde is it. We absolutely love ours!

constantly. Emailed and tried all the troubleshooting with no luck, sent off for repairs and it was returned with the same issues. Contacted them again and told to send it back to be told it was unfixable. Unfortunately by the time I contacted them the second time (which was within days of receiving it back) it was out of warranty so they wouldn’t replace (despite the problem occurring within the warranty period). Was offered a $169 replacement which I declined. Looking at reviews on Amazon - this is a common problem. The other watch was returned and I was told water damage despite never being used in water- the only thing I can think of is when the they washed their hands something to be mindful of.

Perfect and very light, great noise cancelling and holds charge well.

Purchase this radio unit directly from Oricom, and discovered that it uses RJ12 plugs when I was preparing for the install by and Auto Electrician. … Read more

This becomes an issue when you wish to install the unit into your car with a pass through plug in the dash. This is a standard install these days. Firstly it will need the extension cable - can be purchased from Oricom. However Oricom do not have a solution for the pass through plug for the car dash. It is possible to find aftermarket RJ45 plugs with no issues - I could not find an RJ12 to fit the dash. Why not standardise and make the customer experience easy.

novelty wears off soon, as she called me 52 times in one day, all while we were in the same house! my only feedback would be that the watch is quite big on her wrist (it’s actually bigger than her wrist, but it doesn’t really seem to bother her) and the Velcro strap we bought is actually too big on the smallest setting. The silicon strap however is perfect on the smallest setting.

you put them in, they will fall out. So bad idea to take them outside. These are for the inside of your house where you can find them again. Also it uses Bluetooth, a technology which is not reliable.

We love kids o’clock, very easy to communicate with the kids and also can monitor what they do on the watch, we love how much there is on the watch alarms , location, steps and much more we highly recommend kids o’clock (:

hardware problem, maybe power supply? The mains unit is working fine, the battery was fine, but now nothing. Does not turn on at all. Very disappointing that such a good computer is now useless.

regular use functions.

The display whilst not being the high end version has decent brightness , can be used in sunlight and performs well inside games.

The Performance is good for me with the only issues being some of the included bloatware but that's was easily addressed.

When under a full load it was not loud fans wise or never got as hot as my previous machine. The USB C ports run Video no problems.

Whilst the inbuilt speakers are not great they are a lot better than most unbranded sound systems. For a laptop in this price range they were probably the best I came across. Decent Battery performance.

Cons

Although it has 4 USB ports the mix being 2 USB type A and 2 USB Type C I do wish it had one more type A port as by the time a mouse and keyboard are connected you only have Type C ports available.

However More an Issue with me as I didn't think the mix would cause a problem. It does if you want to connect a USB memory stick with a Type A connector. Not a deal breaker but long term it will need a work around like a hub or dual wireless setup for the keyboard and/or mouse. Again not a big deal as you can identify this at the time of purchase.

I usually use a Laptop connected to external power and there is no problem with this one other than the connector. That being it's location on the side. It would be better with a rear connector IMHO but the power supply does have a Right Angled plug. Only really an issue if you move it around whilst connected.

For me it could do with more storage as I use plenty of mods for the games I play. Again not a big deal as it has an additional internal connector for another SSD. Only one and not for a traditional HDD sized unit but it is a modern machine so an NVME unit is fine.

Overall

After having had a few laptops now for the money this one is one of the best. Whilst it isn't a lightweight the 90WH battery and robust feel and construction leaves me confident in it's long term future. I don't think you could go wrong for the money with it's Gaming Video Performance and low power usage when not running flat out. It does behave strangely on occasion but this was always due to Windows 11. One day I figure that out.

Very happy with my purchase of the Sport 10 earbuds by Soundcore. Found my other earbuds, also Soundcore, occasionally becoming loose while running,… Read more

so bought the sport ones and have had no problems with them moving. They are comfortable and the sound with music or audiobooks is great. Bought on special… so added bonus. Have not used earbuds with the little arms before, so I am quite careful with them as they feel a bit delicate - but that’s probably normal for this type of earbud. Happy to recommend.

Audio Technica ATH-M50x are made with poor materials and don’t last!!! – We bought these Audio Technica headphones from Headphonic (www.headphones.com.au) in late 2021, and within a little over two years of light use, the… Read more

padding on the ear cups began to noticeably deteriorate (see first two pics). We weren’t trying to skimp of cheap headphones so we opted for this well reviewed Audio Technica model. Whilst they do sound good and wear comfortably for moderate periods of time, they have not lasted well and seem to be made, in part, from substandard materials. The rest of the headphones look like brand new which confirms how lightly they’ve been used (see last pic).

We’ve kept these phones in a well protected space their entire lifespan and have used them lightly and regularly (estimate average twice/week for less than half an hour each time). They have never been used outdoors or had any exposure to sun or heat, but the quality of the materials is poor and not long lasting.

Did contact the shop (Headphonic www.headphones.com.au) we bought them from about their deterioration, but have had no response.

We suspect they receive so many good reviews here because most of the reviews are for much newer sets, but we’re very unimpressed with Audio Technica’s quality and don’t recommend them unless you’re fine with paying $200 for headphones that might not last much more than 1-2 years with more typical usage. How can these relatively expensive headphones fit the Consumer Law requirements of fit for purpose and lasting anywhere near as much as would be expected for such an item?

warranty and they claimed MB oxidised and must be from water damage. There was absolutely no water damage from us. None of the other many computers we have had any issues with moisture and have been running happily for years. Perhaps they expect their laptops to be used in a lab within a humidity controlled environment! They wanted to charge us the cost of another MB which is 1/2 cost of the original. We declined - not going to throw good money after bad. Will never buy a Gigabyte again and highly recommend avoiding them for their poor quality products. Umart was not very helpful either and was the intermediary between us so won't be using them again either. They didn't take responsibility as the retailer or go into bat for a good customer outcome.

Great value speaker for both indoor and outdoor use. Just make sure to adjust the equalizer in the app to get the best sound quality.

over-rated, over-priced, under perfoming gadget is simply a rip-off and a scam. It's 2021 and they can't even get a decent camera included for $200. What a joke. Give this design job to a couple of teenagers and they'd come up with something ten times better!!! Quite obviously, the mob making and selling them, thinks that anyone over 65 is stupid and incompetent. Stop patronising us!!! By the way, I chucked that gadget in the bin.

I am disappointed with the connectivity of my Ryoko device. Although I live in Canada, it keeps defaulting to towers in the USA. Yes, I am close to… Read more

the US, on the southwest corner of Vancouver Island, BC. The closest cell towers all belong to Freedom Mobile. My cell phone hotspots faster than the Ryoko, has better connectivity for streaming online content. The Ryoko device constantly buffers and is slow. It was super easy to set up and get started using the device. That is one benefit, but the website only offers the ability to add data or renew. At the current renewal rate of over $200 CA for 6 months renewal (which is more than double their introductory pricing) I have no desire to extend my plan. There's no way to prioritize connectivity or recalibrate for alternative towers.
