This small microphone with an easy clip allows such users to record high quality audio to match up the HD or even 4K video quality from their smartphones and cameras.

Rechargeable AAA Batteries

Any electronic device requires a source of power. Like with every shrinking piece of technology, remotes and other electronics have also grown thinner and smaller. The remote controller of most appliance be it a TV or Sound system, requires AAA batteries. And if you are a restless viewer who relentlessly goes through menus on your TV or setup box, batteries on your remotes generally do not last very long. So, in order to overcome this yet, another man-made problem these AAA rechargeable cell are the perfect solution. Not only are they rechargeable which saves frequent trips to the market, they are good for the environment as well. Typically speaking, one battery generally lasts multiple recharge cycles.

The company claims that the device can be used to engrave on Wood, Plastic, Glass, and even metal.

Portronics Phoni Retro Handset

The Portronics Phoni is a cool accessory to replace your traditional earphones with something more retro. The handset has a nice matte finish and a grey colour that screams old school. The inline button to end or receive calls is a nice addition and the coiled cable just adds to the whole “landline” look.

Philips ActionFit Earphones

The Philips ActionFit Earphones are an adequate replacement to the default earphones you get with your smartphone. The earphones get really loud and even at the highest volume, the sound doesn’t shriek or get tinny, which happens with a lot of earphones in the price point however, there is no inline mic for calls. There is an included carrying pouch which is a nice touch by Philips.

Kodak Power Bank

This red coloured small power bank can come in handy when your phone is at 2% and you still have a long commute left. The capacity is only 2500 mAh and that makes it possible for the power bank to be compact.

The speaker gets adequately loud and the inline volume scroller controls the volume of the speaker instead of the source it’s connected to.
