Review: Crumpler Proud Stash Backpack

I admit, I’m not a light packer when I travel. I’m slightly OC, with a hint of hoarder (hahaha), so I feel like I’ll need everything but the kitchen sink. I vow to change that though as I‘ve got plans to travel more starting this year, and I think this Crumpler Proud Stash backpack might be the perfect travel companion.

The design may look simple to you, but I don’t fancy complicated patterns on my bag. I’m not into bags as a fashion statement, but I’m sure this Crumpler Proud Stash in Coral will be liked by many of my fellow ladies. My mom liked the color so much that she insisted that she ‘model’ this one for me first before the Crumpler Ludicrous Debacle Messenger Bag. I prefer this in black though.

A very simple design indeed, but that only means you have more space for things you need to bring. There’s one cargo space inside (with twin gripper zippers) and one big, full-width zippered front pocket. That’s it. Simple, no fuss. I like it!

We tried placing all sorts of contents in it, from books to my laptop, and I didn’t experience any strains on my shoulders. The fully adjustable harness straps were wide and padded. The weight was well-distributed so I highly recommend this for backpackers, especially because it’s made with water-resistant materials (even the zippers!) and carries Crumpler’s lifetime guarantee.

Review: Crumpler Ludicrous Debacle Messenger Bag

Geared up with my new model volunteer, we tested out two new Crumpler bags, starting off with this messenger bag – Crumpler Ludicrous Debacle.

First of all, I’d like to say that I’m very fond of how Crumpler combines various colors you’d think won’t work. I would usually hate the combination of bright red and with neon or mint green, but with this Crumpler Ludicrous Debacle messenger bag we received for review, the colors seem to be in harmony.

Ludicrous Debacle is made of double layer tough-but-tender water resistant Field Twill that’s usually used for jackets and jeans – I love the texture!

Review: Thinksound ts01 Headphones

What if you were given a chance to own a pair of earphones and enjoy your music with less impact on the environment? Okay, I might have confused you in my intro, but I’m talking about the Thinksound ts01 headphones.

Wood has been known to produce better resonance which is why there are many musical instruments that are made of wood, particularly guitars. I remember, we used to own speaker systems which were enclosed in wood. Even recording studios I’ve been to use wood for that richer sound. Thus, it’s quite logical to make use of wood’s properties to create a listening device such as this Thinksound ts01 headphones.

According to the designer and how the company described this product, they wanted to come out with headphones that have minimal impact to the environment without sacrificing the sound quality.

Even the packaging of Thinksound is made with recycled materials, with a few plastic components and PVC-free cables.

It’s quite light too and I find that it fits more snugly in my ears. I’m not too comfy with in-ear earphones though, but I tried using this for about 30 minutes and my ears didn’t hurt a bit.

Now, let’s talk about the sound quality. Having reviewed various earphones and headphones before here on Pinay Reviewer, I can say that I was fairly impressed by Thinksound ts01′s performance. No, the bass is not as powerful as I would like, but it was pretty decent for a small pair of earphones.

Review: Braven 570 : A Sexy Multifeatured Portable Bluetooth Speaker

If there’s one sexy gadget I would love to own, this is it – Braven 570. It’s a high-def portable wireless Bluetooth speaker, charger, and speaker phone all rolled into one. And it comes in black. How can one not go gaga over this?!
