Any specials on true wireless earphones?

Bluetooth headphones seem too bulky for the gym
Click to expand...

Bought the Jabra 65t elite , They were not bad for gym, bought it on special was looking for headphones with noise cancelling for work and gym , disappoint for call though.

Had a buyer that was collecting in a week, played around with having one ear found out the call quality increased 10 fold just a note.

Note: could hear people clear but they could not hear me clear.

If anyone has any good headphones recommendation for calls and gym with noise cancelling would appreciate it.

I wouldn't use it for video recording/lots of writes based on Sandisks reputation but this seems like a decent price.

You can pickup a SanDisk video specific card off Amazon, which I have been using in my dashcam going on nearly 3 years now, doing 1080p at 30fps..

In-ears / earbuds that you can call with and be heard are a myth. The mic is too far from your mouth. You need a mic that extends out (on a boom). IMNSHO.

Those cost a lot more (Sandisk Extreme).

The Samsung Evo and Evo Select cards offer much better value for money if you're doing constant writes.

It's not the SanDisk Extreme but, my point was, not all SanDisk cards are useless for intensive write operations like video..

Cool man, Sandisk themselves don't recommend anything other than their Extreme/High endurance cards for loop video and their warranty won't cover failures from using the Ultra cards for that purpose. For a dashcam or security camera I'd definitely want something reliable because the footage is really valuable.

This warranty does not cover use of the Product in connection with the following uses or devices (as determined by SanDisk): (i) normal wear and tear, (ii) video monitoring, security, and surveillance devices, (iii) internet protocol/network cameras, (iv) in-car recording devices/dashboard cameras/black box cameras, (v) display devices that loop video, (vi) continuous recording set top box devices, (vii) continuous data logging devices like servers, or (viii) other excessive uses that exceed normal use in accordance with published instructions. The warranty exclusions set forth in points (ii)-(vii) above do not apply to the following: SanDisk High Endurance Video Monitoring microSD Cards located here.

Samsung on the other hand market the Evo cards as being suited for a wide variety of use cases, including video, and there's no exclusion of it in the Ts & Cs.

Great Performance in Smartphones, Action Cameras, Drones, DSLRs, and Tablet PCs

Based on the above, I won't recommend using Sandisk Ultra cards for video to anyone as they have been proven to be unreliable.

Unreliable = not able to be relied upon. i.e. Cannot be depended upon with full trust.

If it works for you great but it's unreliable :)

I raised my point because of your blanket comment regarding SanDisk's reputation..

True but 2GB would easily cover my storage requirements...rather wait for special on 2GB, faster drive or wait for SSD prices to drop even further.
Also storing 4TB on 1 device/drive is recipe for failure ( pun intended)
Better split over 2 or more drives to be on safe side.

Good price for 4TB tho!

Have 2 x 4Tb for backup, having just one backup drive is asking for issue's
