Mailbox #2: ICStation 12x11 LED VU Spectrum Meter Kit Build part 1
So ICStation generously offered to send me more stuff to review so this time I opted for a kit as well as a few other modules they sent me. I settled on a FFT audio VU meter kit (http://www.icstation.com/12x11-audio-indicator-blue-voice-frequency-voice-p-4966.html) that looked interesting so in this video we look at the features as well as parts that come with the kit. The package just arrived today so lets get to it!
ICStation also gave me a 15% coupon to share with everyone for use on your next order for the first 300 customers, enjoy! Code: sjmics Discount Amount: 15% off Max Use: 1 (one for per user)
Special thanks to Eric Skiff for freely providing the music used this video off his album Resistor Anthems. His music can be found at http://ericskiff.com/music/
One of my dmg's only outputs audio over headphones but not the onboard speaker so in this video we strip the headphone jack down to give her a good clean and see if we can restore speaker audio.

So I know many of you are really interested in me finishing up the project but there are a few snags keeping me from progressing and I've been pretty busy recently so this video is an update of the situation and problems I need to fix/solve. I've finally gotten the shell 3d printed only to find a couple of problems, some small and some potentially big. If you guys have any questions or suggestions post them down below. I promise this project will be completed but it might take some time.

Check out the H30 here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BVRJXH27
I listen to a lot of audio throughout my day so I'm always down to try out new models. This time a company named Falebare reached out to me to check out their new model, the H30. This set isn't particularly cheap but claims impressive ANC and battery life so let's see what your $50 gets you.

Happy New Year everyone!!! I was contacted by Akamate, a manufacturer of some sleek looking mp3 players, and asked if I would review one of their products. As I'm a pretty experienced user of portable audio players who still uses them daily I thought it would be interesting to take a look at their touch screen model. How does it stack up as an everyday player? How's the hardware and software? Watch to find out.
Huge thanks to Akamate once again for sending me this player to review. Any conclusions I provide in this video are my own, drawn from using the player.

I absolutely love the powerbank VRURC sent in about a year ago, it's earned a permanent place in my backpack as an everyday carry. It's come in handy more times than I can count and its convinced me that the things it gets oh so right (built in cords with several plugs and ac charging prongs) should be a part of every modern powerbank! So when they offered to send in their newest model I was keen. Let's see what's changed and what's stayed the same for this model and if it earns its pricepoint.
