Pump-Audio was originally founded in 2014 by entrepreneur Adam Blair. Today the company is quickly becoming known as a high quality headphone producer in the UK and across the World.
PUMP Headphones are specifically designed for lovers of dance music.
Today I am going to be reviewing the new and soon to be released Pump-Audio Mix In Ear headphones versus the current V2 In Ear Headphones.

The Review
Conclusion
If you love dance music, the Pump-Audio Mix and V2 headphones dig deep with the bass but not at the expensive of the treble. As the new Mix headphones have a wider frequency range the extra top end is slightly more refined. The Mix also has volume controls on the in line remote over the V2. Recommended for dance music fans.

Focal have introduced probably the most expensive pair of headphones in the world.
Focal call the Utopia by Tornaire the most prestigious headphones in the world.
Focal state “This craftsman jewellery and work of art required more than a year’s work, making these headphones the most prestigious – and probably the most expensive – in the world: Utopia by Tournaire. The product was presented in September 2016 at the Tournaire boutique in Paris.”
It has been a period of exciting new tech, and along with all the gadgets, came the new Huawei Mate 9, the official UK version. I picked my Huawei Mate 9 at Three UK from my local store on PAYG. My local store in Plymouth is so friendly and provides a great customer experience.
I will be providing a full detailed review of the Huawei Mate 9 soon but for the time being I filmed a first experience VLOG type video. I have taken lots of photos and video with the phone already and have been very impressed.
In the meantime, enjoy my first impressions video 🙂

Phone Basics
The Lenovo P2 is incredible value for money. I have been so surprised by the phone that I really don’t know where to start. So let’s start at the beginning. Call quality is good. Sunlight visibility is average. It has a monster size battery at 5,100mAh. It manages 10 hours screen on time. So you could use it to charge your other devices too and still not run out of juice.
The loudspeaker is loud and clear. Headphone jack audio is loud and of average quality. I tested the headphone output using my Sennheiser HD598 CS which were powered just fine. Bluetooth is of reasonable quality. My AirPods sounded great with the Lenovo P2. USB Audio is present, and that was a surprise. It has a front facing fingerprint sensor and NFC.
With such a big battery it is handy to note that a 24W fast charger is included. If for some unbelievable reason you are likely to run low on juice or 3 days battery life is not enough, you can with the slide of a hardware switch on the side, turn on extreme power mode.
The Snapdragon 625 with the near stock launcher provides a smooth experience. Heavy CPU intensive games will skip the odd frame though. AnTuTu scored 65,000.
Camera. The camera took some crazy good photos. Below is a sample shot. For more samples check out the video review, which also details the camera app interface.
Video Review
I strongly recommend you watch the video review as this has all the details on the camera quality with photo samples and video footage. You can also hear the loudspeaker test and a lot more. This is a really detailed video review!
Conclusion
The Lenovo P2 is highly recommended and is easily one of the best budget phones I have reviewed.
I am currently putting the Lenovo P2 through its paces testing every aspect of this new phone that is available on Three UK for £199 on PAYG.

LG has already confirmed it is ditching the modular design for the LG G6.
The LG G6 is expected to feature a 5.7-inch QHD+ LCD display with a resolution of 2880 x 1440. It will also likely retain a dual camera arrangement with a wide-angle lens complementing the primary shooter.
LG have now teased that it will be nearly all screen and less bezel meaning an overall smaller size. The phone will be waterproof too.
And LG are looking to release this a whole month before Samsung releases their new Galaxy S8.
