Music Doesn't Have To Be Expensive With GoGear

Hi Huneybees,

I don't think I can live without music. I'm always updating my playlists with the latest songs and I have different playlists for different occasions - happy songs to chase the Monday blues away, fast beat music that you can exercise to or soft, soothing songs to help me relax and get to sleep.

And if you are like me, you will understand why I'm always hopping to new choices of audio gadgets, trying out their quality when playing the music, or even finding the beautiful looking ones to be part of my fashion OOTDs. 

But most of the time, when I try the more economically priced earphones, the sound quality might be compromised or when I want better quality, that's when it gets pricier. It gets frustrating right?!

Not to worry, thanks to Hwee Seng Electronics, there's GoGear now! You get trendy, fashionably designed audio gadgets at affordable prices without missing the good, quality sound that can keep you company everyday, making you happy with the tunes of your choice. 

You can brighten up your world with their exciting posse of playfully named headphones and Bluetooth speakers that come in an eye-popping range of colors. Just by their earphones alone, you can already 5 different range - CozyBuds, Tunes, Sparklers, Turbos and Alumies, that's priced from S$9.90!

All 5 of these earphones come with the 1 button remote (play/pause) & mic for music and calls when you plug them into your smartphones. but each varies slightly with their sound system as well as sizes to suit your needs.

The CozyBuds is your entry level stereo earphones and almost the same quality as the Alumies, except that these babies comes in earbuds forms. The next level would be the Turbos, that's shaped a little like those racing car engines, with slightly better booster sound quality.

Of course, the ultimate ones are Tunes and Sparklers with Noise Isolating earphones and just 2dB difference in sensitivity. Putting them on, I really cannot hear my outside surrounding sounds, allowing you undisturbed indulgence to listening to your music as you work or go around your everyday routine.

And for those who wants wireless solutions, there is the Freerides Bluetooth Earphone and Easy Rider Bluetooth Headphone. I'm more of a earphones person as I find the headphone band a litte restricting when I'm in glasses and the Freerides earphones are so light, you almost feel nothing at all.

No matter how hard I shake my head, these earbuds would not drop, definitely a must-have for the exercise buffs and those who hate those get-in-the-way wires. You can wear them on its own, or put on those hooks to wear them for extra "grip". 

Both the earphones and headphones can be paired for call control with built in microphone. Say yes to wireless conversations and goodbye to having to 'kiap' your phone between your ears and shoulders! :)

But if you have great music, be sure to share that with your friends. Invite them over for parties, head on out for picnics or even road trips and staycations! There are 3 to choose from - 3-Way Awesome, Double Agent and Splash n Dash.

As its name suggests, the 3-Way Awesome plays music in surrounding all round 3 directions with 2 bass radiators and a main ‘beast’ speaker driver. It can be paired up via Bluetooth to your devices and can be played up to 6 hours. 

Nope, the Double Agent is not some special spy gadget, but it is also definitely not your usual bluetooth speaker. The portable Double Agent makes multi-tasking and sharing your secret playlists real smooth and easy on the go, allowing you to pair 2 smart devices at the same time with Bluetooth 3.0. You can lay it flat on the table or choose to hook them on wall hooks, in cars or even on tree branches! Hehe....

Something I've been wanting to get is a waterproof portable bluetooth speaker. Maybe coz watching too much of Hitchcock's "Psycho", I'm kena squirmish bathing alone in the quiet bathroom and normal bluetooth speakers are not waterproof, which might not be good to have on the bathroom.

Thankfully, I now have the Splash n Dash bluetooth portable speaker. It is IPX5 splashproof safe, can connect up to 10 metres and can be stuck onto any surface. Psst, it might even add some fun in the bathroom for couples. *wink*

So, with so many to choose from, have you made your choice? 

All GoGear products come with a one-year local warranty, and are now available at Mustafa and selected 7-eleven stores in Singapore.

Top 5 Things You Need to Know About The New Disney Infinity 3.0 Edition!

Hi Huneybees,

Being a Disney and Star Wars fans since young, I always take every opportunity possible to see my favorite cartoon and Sci Fi characters such as Eeyore, Minnie Mouse, Darth Vader, Boba Fett and many more! 

Yes! Yes! Yes! I'm literally in a freaking SANDCRAWLER!!!!!!

With the Force "Awakening" at the end of this year, SW fans like me will be stoked as more and more related products are been launched. One such moment was as recent as last week when I received an invitation to visit the Sandcrawler Theatre @ 1 Fusionopolis View by Disney Interactive for a game launch this week!!

 

I must complement Disney Interactive for taking no effect to fly Jason Moffitt, the Producer for Disney Infintity,  all the way from Los Angeles to Singapore (over 20 hours of flight time) to unveil its most ambitious gaming initiative to date - Disney Infinity 3.0 Edition! YES! Star Wars characters have been added to one of the best mash-up games of our era! 

For Huneybees who are not familiar with  Disney Infinity, this is an incredible game platform that unlocks limitless freedom to create stories and play experiences starring beloved characters from The Walt Disney Company and Pixar Animation Studios. 

By integrating collectible character figures with game console, Disney Infinity not only makes these figures come to life in the game but also brings the opportunity for the players to put characters from various Disney and Pixar films to play together in a virtual “Toy Box”, hence allowing players to both experience original adventures in some of their favorite Disney and Pixar worlds or to build their own worlds using the power of their imagination. 

To cut to the chase, here are the Top five (5) things to know about the new Disney 3.0 Edition:

#1 - Disney Infinity 3.0 is joining forces with Star Wars!

Hooray! Three Star Wars Play Sets - Twilight of the Republic, Rise Against the Empire  and a yet to-be-named Play Set (available later in 2015) based on The Force Awakens have/will been added!
Additionally, you will have the unique opportunity to play with all of the Star Wars characters in all of the Star Wars Play Sets, as well as bringing them to other worlds when they are unlocked.

Twilight of the Republic is an all-new, original chapter of the Star Wars Saga, set in the Episodes I-III timeline. Get ready to use the Force and Lightsabers in epic battles as Anakin Skywalker, Ahsoka Tano, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda, and Darth Maul.

Rise Against the Empire features galaxy-spanning missions with Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia Organa, Han Solo, Chewbacca, and Darth Vader. This Play Set is set in the timeline of the original trilogy and will send you piloting X-Wing Fighters and the Millennium Falcon to planets like Tatooine, Hoth, and Endor.

So far, at the D23, we have already seen the annoucement of Rey and Finn from Star Wars: The Force Awakens, so these 2 will definitely be in the 3rd installment of the Star Wars Playset.

#2 – TRON characters Sam Flynn and Quorra will be available as physical figures at the release of Disney Infinity 3.0! 

Need me to say more for fans of the American science fiction film TRON? Instead of the two leads making special appearances in the previous version, you can now use them as your gameplay character!

  

#3 – Disney Infinity 3.0 will include more Disney characters and MARVEL too !

There will be a Play Set based on Disney•Pixar’s upcoming film Inside Out featuring all five Emotions Joy, Sadness, Fear, Anger, and Disgust as playable characters. Fan-favorite characters Mickey, Minnie, Mulan, and Olaf will also be joining Toy Box 3.0. Yay!

From the Marvel Universe, there will be a MARVEL Play Set (to be announced later!), along with more MARVEL characters including Hulkbuster Iron Man and Ultron.

You can also expect to see Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps from Walt Disney Animation Studios' Zootopia, Spot from Disney•Pixar's The Good Dinosaur; and Peter Pan, who was selected as part of the "Toy Box Artists Choice" - an event held during this year's Disney Infinity Toy Box Summit. 

 #4 – All-new multiplayer Toy Box Expansion Games will allow you to play with all of your Disney, Disney•Pixar, MARVEL, and Star Wars characters from Disney Infinity 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 together.

Toy Box Expansion Games Toy Box Takeover (action-adventure) and Toy Box Speedway (kart racing) will bring all-new, structured multiplayer gameplay to Toy Box 3.0. Eg: You and your friend might be racing on the same track world, but you both might end up on different layers of the track, so it brings different experiences everytime u race. :)

#5 – Disney Infinity 3.0 Edition Starter Pack will be on sales for a lower suggested retail price of SGD99.99.

In direct response to your feedback, the Disney Infinity 3.0 Edition Starter Pack will now sell for a lower suggested retail price of $99.90. 

The Starter Pack includes the Twilight of the Republic Play Set, Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano Figures, and the new Toy Box 3.0. In addition to that, 3.0 Power Discs will come in labeled packs instead of blind packs.

So, there you have it.
