OnePlus Nord Buds 3

The Nord Buds 3 are packed with features, including noise cancellation and long battery life, and yet are available at a pocket-friendly price. On testing, I found the comfort and fit of these buds to be satisfying. The audio quality was overall good, but the bass a tad heavy for me. However, conversations were clear during calls, and movies/OTT sounded delightful. Noise cancellation worked well in closed environments, while the battery life was exceptional, with about two entire days of charge (including case). oneplus.in

Orient Electric Aerosense

Need a new fan? Orient Electric’s Aerosense IoT underlight model is a brilliant smart ceiling fan (with built-in light) available in multiple colours to suit your interiors. Aerosense consumes about 50% less energy compared to conventional fans, thanks to BLDC Pro tech as well as smart timers. It can also be controlled via Alexa, Google Assistant or the Orient Smart app, even with voice commands. I loved the accompanying remote, which let me fine- control fan speed, activate Boost mode, and turn the inbuilt 9W natural white LED on/off. The fan blades are also rust/bend proof thanks to ABS material coated with a PU finish. Orient Electric does a quick and accurate installation, also providing a comprehensive five-year warranty on the Aerosense. I do have to praise this fan for also being ultra quiet on operation. Overall, an ideal fan for modern homes, providing excellent cooling, low maintenance and great looks! orientelectric.com
