I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce you to the new Konecta from SoundWhiz. The Konecta is a small Bluetooth transmitter / receiver which allows user to transmit audio wirelessly via Bluetooth from any device that has a standard audio or headphone jack so that it can be enjoyed on wireless headphones or speakers.
They recently sent me one to try which I just received int he mail and I will let you know how it works for me!
They say that it is perfect for listening to the TV in the gym without being tangled by wires tied to the fitness equipment, or watching a late night movie without disturbing family or a roommate; the Konecta converts any standard 3mm or 5mm audio jack into a Bluetooth connection. When using the Konecta, it only takes seconds to enjoy wireless connectivity from non-Bluetooth enabled devices including; TVs, TV sound systems, IPod Classic and other MP3 players. Konecta will automatically choose the highest transmission quality available based on the device and includes support for APTX and APTY-LL high definition audio. Both APTX and APTX-LL have rapid transmission speeds, meaning there won’t be a lag between moving pictures and the sound which is common with traditional headphones.
While most Bluetooth transmitters assume users only need a standard 3mm jack, the Konecta includes accessories to connect to 3mm, 5 mm and 2-pin airplane audio jacks as well as a RCA cable splitter for stereo sound. The built-in rechargeable battery provides up to 10 hours of playtime, and can be used while connected to a power source for interruption-free enjoyment.

AfterShokz Now Shipping Trekz Titanium Bone Conduction Headphones ─ The Safest Headphones for Outdoor Fitness
Trekz Titanium Premium Sport Headphones, Now Available at $129.99
|
AfterShokz, the award-winning headphone brand known for its patented bone conduction technology, is now shipping arguably the safest sport headphones, Trekz Titanium. Trekz Titanium were recently brought to market via a record-breaking Indiegogo campaign that raised $654,916. Earlier this month, AfterShokz made it to the final stages of their commitment to the crowdfunding community, shipping Trekz to over 5,000 contributors from 94 countries.
Trekz Titanium headphones are the safest and in some states the only legal way to tune in (to music or a phone call) without tuning out (surroundings)─and are truly in a category of their own. Designed to ensure the ultimate level of awareness and comfort─without compromising on premium sound─Trekz Titanium are wireless, open ear sport headphones made to ensure the safety of runners, cyclists, hikers and more. Trekz Titanium with PremiumPitch+™ delivers exceptional sound quality with AfterShokz' patented technology, delivering dynamic range and truly powerful bass.
"Several states have enacted laws that regulate the use of headsets while cycling, making bone conduction headphones the only safe and legal option for many cyclists," says Bruce Borenstein, CEO of AfterShokz. "With our newest headphones, Trekz Titanium, we've fine tuned the design for comfort and optimized the technology to produce premium sound, resulting in the ultimate sport headphones."
Trekz Titanium uses bone conduction technology to transmit audio waves to the inner ears through the skull, bypassing the eardrums completely. Bone conduction transducers rest on your cheekbones, just in front of your ears. This leaves your ear canals open, allowing you to remain alert and aware of ambient sounds while you enjoy your music. Bluetooth® connectivity allows you to be free of wires, and make and receive phone calls.
Trekz Titanium Features:
- OpenFit™ Design: promising uncompromised situational awareness and extended comfort in a revolutionary open ear design. That means you can tune in to your music or a call without tuning out the world around you-vital for remaining alert and safe as you move through the day.
- PremiumPitch+™ Stereo Sound: Bone conduction audio has earned its bad reputation due to a blend of natural sound leakage and weak bass. PremiumPitch+™ technology delivers dynamic audio, including deep bass. LeakSlayer™ technology nearly completely eliminates sound leakage, keeping music and conversations private.
- Titanium Frame: The backbone of the industrial design is a premium titanium frame, an element chosen not only for its strength and durability, but also for its infinite flexibility, which delivers maximum comfort, portability and the very best sound.
- Sweat Resistant: Built to power through daily sweat sessions and wicked weather. IP55 rated to repel sweat, moisture and dust.
- Six Hours of Music and Calls: A single charge will reliably deliver six hours of music play and talk time. You can charge fully in 1.5 hours, but a quick 15-minute charge provides enough boost to get you through a long workout or marathon call.
- Noise Canceling Mics: Precisely placed dual noise canceling microphones exclude surrounding noise, effectively enhancing speech.
- Voice Prompts: Audrey Says™ seamlessly guide you through power, pair, play and talk, and everything in between.

SMS Audio - On Ear Wired Sport
This past week I received a package from SMS Audio. The package contained two sets of headphones. One of which I have included here. The SMS Audio - On Ear Wired Sport. In Pink and black! My favourite colours. These headphones came with a great travel case for on the go transport. It is hard shelled so if you are like me and just throw your head phones in your bag this will keep them safe. They also came with a workout towel! How convenient. It actually is soft to touch vs some of the sweat towels where if you have dry skin or a callous your hands immediately stick to the towel.
I quickly put the head phones to work and headed down to the gym for a cardio session. They were very comfortable. Didn't move and I immediately noticed the extra long cord. This is key for wired head phones because it means you have lots of room and don't have to worry about pulling on the cord when doing exercises or HIIT training.
On top of all these other great features the sound quality is what I would call "saudi." Crips and clear.
Overall I would give them a 9/10. I would love to have a wireless version. That would give the headphones an overall 10/10. These are definitely TRAIN IT RIGHT APPROVED! Thanks SMS for these great workout headphones in my two favourite colours pink and black!

My New Monster iSport Wireless Headphones from @bestbuycanada @monster_canada - Train It Right
I have been needed a new pair of headphones for working out for quite some time. When I saw the Monster Isport headphones on the bestbuy website I knew that they would be great for me! They were wireless, which meant that there was no cord to get in the way when I was lifting, running, jumping or just commuting. My life is so hectic and I am always on the go so these would be perfect for working out and my life in general.
They arrived quickly and I soon put them to work! First of all I was so impressed by the sound quality. I have had a lot of different head phones over the past years but these are by far the BEST SOUNDING headphones that I have ever had for working out! Secondly they did not fall off during my high intensity workouts or even when I was doing cardio! I never had to adjust them and obviously there were no cords in the way. I also was particularly impressed how quick they pair to my devices and I like the option of being able to switch songs right on the headset. I literally never have to touch my iPod or phone once they are paired to change a song. According to the site they are good for up to 10m paired but I am sure that I have gone further from my iPod and they have still worked! Also the charge lasts forever. It's been a week and I still haven't had to recharge them. Im sure the time is coming soon. They are suppose to last up to 30 hours of continuous play.
Although the headphones are great. You all know that my favourite colour is pink! I wish that they came in pink then I would be the happiest girl in the world. The green is growing on me. I like that it is bright. It's still taking some getting use to having something in this colour.
More details on the headphones:
