Review: Sentry Neon Stereo Earbuds

Neons Sentry

Compatibility: 3.5mm Jack Devices

Before you read this review, I recommend watching my unboxing so you could get a better understanding of this product and how I came about it.

These earbuds are selling for less than $10 on and also available at local retailers. I believe that this is a great price since it provides great audio quality for watching portable TV, portable gaming, gaming, iPods, MP3 Players, smartphones, and many more devices.

You can purchase it in four different colors, I have the color red, and the accents are very professional for such a low-cost pair of earbuds. Sentry paid close attention to these earbuds and provided you with the best service for style and design.

The earbuds themselves are somewhat comfortable. I place them in my ears and found that they don’t fit perfectly. Sadly, Sentry don’t provide more earbud tips sizes. I found that they would fall out when doing sports and anything that involves a lot of movements.

Also, I noticed that it don’t provide an in-line mic or playback controls. This is a con since other earbuds include this feature. I found this as a problem since I prefer to control my music via my earbuds without taking out my device.

The cord length was perfect for my use and the the 3.5mm plug fit many devices that you probably own. I found no problems with this. I’m very please with the audio quality, with included bass boost, and found that this to be very pleasing when tuning out people and other surrounding sounds.

I would recommend this is the average consumer especially for this price. Otherwise, you could find better for a little more money.

How to fix: Android Samsung Galaxy S2 not recognized on Linux

Problem:

I was facing problems connecting my Samsung Galaxy S2 on Ubuntu, which is particularly annoying bearing in mind the total lack of support by Samsung for Linux (even Kies is of no use). Strange enough, it works flawlessly on Windows 7, where it recognises it instantly and I can transfer files between my phone and computer.
When I plug it into my Linux machine, it is recognised and I can see the contents of the root of /sdcard and the SD card but I cannot access the contents of any file or folder as all the folders are empty.
When I connect my phone to USB there is no “mount USB” option but just MTP application in the home screen. [Read more…]
