Asus launches a mouse that literally makes work smell better
Asus has launched what it calls 'the world's first fragrance-equipped computer mouse,' the MD101, priced at ₹1,999. The mouse features a built-in refillable fragrance compartment that releases subtle aromas during use. Asus has partnered with iconic Indian fragrance house Eze Perfumes to create an exclusive scent blend featuring top notes of peach, wormwood, and freesia, middle notes of rose, sandalwood, and iris, and base notes of musk, vanilla, and amber. The MD101 combines sensory innovation with practical performance. The ergonomic mouse offers dual-mode wireless connectivity through Bluetooth 5.3 and 2.4GHz, adjustable DPI settings up to 2,400, and ultra-quiet clicks rated for 10 million presses. Users can easily access the fragrance chamber by sliding open the mouse's base and can switch between different essential oils. "At Asus, we believe technology should cater not just to productivity but also to enhance the overall work environment," said Arnold Su, Vice President of PC & Gaming Business at Asus India. The company aims to redefine how everyday tech can engage multiple senses and elevate mood.

OneOdio Studio Max 1 DJ headphones review: Pro-level sound and 100+ hour battery
Over the past two weeks, I've been testing the OneOdio Studio Max 1 DJ headphones, specifically, the co-branded Ariana Edition. These headphones offer low-latency wireless audio, long battery life, and comfort tailored for DJs and creators alike. Design Although the Studio Max 1 is primarily built from plastic, the design doesn't feel cheap, thanks to metal reinforcements in the hinges and headband. The headset is predominantly black, but the red stitching on the headband, red backing inside the ear cups, and silver "L" and "R" markings add a touch of subtle style to the overall design. The outside of the earcups has a grooved plastic finish that unfortunately scratches relatively easily. Still, they swivel and rotate freely, allowing DJs to monitor with one ear. In the box, you'll also find three cables (3.5mm, 6.35mm, and a combo cable), a USB-C charging cable, a carrying pouch, a wireless transmitter, and some documentation. Comfort and fit Despite weighing 352 grams, the Studio Max 1 is surprisingly comfortable. The memory foam ear cushions are thick and soft, and the headband is well-padded without putting pressure on the crown. The earcups are large and encompass the ears without clamping too tightly. I wore them for extended sessions, and while the earcups do get a bit warm, that's par for the course with over-ears. The generous padding and adjustability make these comfortable for both casual listening and serious mixing. Sound quality I found the sound signature is clear and balanced, with deep bass and crisp treble. A built-in equaliser can be activated by double-pressing the power button, which adds a noticeable low-end punch. The EQ mode has an impact on bass-heavy tracks, but I preferred to leave it off. The headphones are equipped with 50mm composite diaphragm drivers and LDAC support for Hi-Res audio. Regardless of what I was using them for, the sound quality remained consistently impressive, particularly for the price. Battery life Battery life is where the Studio Max 1 truly stands out, outshining many other brands with up to 120 hours of playback. The quick charge feature is also a welcome bonus, just 5 minutes of charging gives you an extra 2.5 hours of listening time. The included wireless transmitter lasts up to 15 days with daily use and adds only 20ms of latency, making it ideal for real-time DJ monitoring. Features and connectivity What makes the Studio Max 1 unique is its flexibility across a wide range of use cases. They support four different connection modes: DJ Wireless Mode via the included low-latency dongle (20x faster than conventional Bluetooth), a professional-grade 6.35mm wired option for traditional setups, a 3.5mm jack for everyday compatibility, and Bluetooth 5.3 for wireless listening on the go. Switching between Bluetooth and the wireless dongle is seamless, thanks to a dedicated button on the right earcup. It's worth noting that when using a physical cable connection, the headphones automatically power off, which disables the onboard EQ and volume buttons. While this might seem like a drawback, the analogue fidelity of the wired connection makes up for the loss of digital features. The built-in microphone system performs admirably as well. Dual microphones with ENC (Environmental Noise Cancellation) effectively isolate your voice, making it suitable for calls and voice recordings, even in moderately noisy environments. During my outdoor tests, the headphones effectively suppressed wind and traffic noise while maintaining clear and intelligible vocals. Verdict The OneOdio Studio Max 1 DJ headphones offer low latency and a comfortable fit. While build quality could be a tad more refined, they offer excellent value, especially for DJs or audio creators. If you're after a versatile, long-lasting, and great-sounding pair of headphones for professional or casual use, the Studio Max 1 deserves a spot on your shortlist. €180

'I love these €15 AirPod alternatives and they're perfect for holidays'
I was once one of those individuals who couldn't go anywhere without my AirPods - the sleek case, the instant connection, the subtle show-off of popping them in as I strolled around the supermarket. However, after misplacing my second pair in just over a year, I couldn't bear the thought of having to shell out €165 for another pair. Having previously bought some Amazon "cheapies" for my children, I decided if I can't be trusted with pricey ones anymore, I'll have to do the same. I went on Amazon, found some that looked the same sort of style from a brand I've never heard of and snapped them up then and there. At €15.41 they arrived with no fancy packaging and a pretty basic looking spec, so I wasn't expecting too much from them. But months later, I'm still using them - and I'm not missing my AirPods at all. The YHFvesv Wireless Earbuds feature upgraded Bluetooth 5.3 technology that offers a surprisingly fast and stable connection. They were easy enough to pair with my phone first time and they reconnect after charging, reports the Mirror. The battery life is pretty decent too. I can get about 6 (ish) hours out of them, but I do tend to find the case needs to be charged more often than my Apple AirPod case ever did. I'm not really one for technical specs, but according to Amazon these earbuds have "dynamic drivers deliver rich sound with deep bass, while ENC noise reduction and four built-in microphones provide clear calls by filtering out background noise." They're a real bargain - the earbuds deliver a solid bass kick for tunes and crystal-clear audio for podcasts or streaming. Plus, they've got nifty touch controls for tunes, calls, and volume that you can trigger with just a tap on either bud. I've been lucky enough not to test their water resistance yet, but Amazon reckons they're IPX8 rated, so they should shrug off rain and sweat no bother. And the price? A mere €15.41. I could misplace ten sets and still be saving a packet. They're definitely coming on holidays with me this year, and I've even snagged a little case with a clip to keep them handy. But these aren't your only option if you're after wallet-friendly earbuds. Also on Amazon, the soundcore by Anker P20i True Wireless Earbuds are currently available for €29.62. Very also have a great deal with €17 off JBuds Mini True Wireless Earbuds, dropping the price from €46.22 to a tempting €28.44. These little gems pack a punch with heavy bass despite their compact size, earning praise for being "good quality" and "value for money". And people are very happy with the YHFvesv Wireless Earbuds too. One customer said: "Amazing pair of airpods! Worth the money very light, look like Apple airpods and the sound quality is really good, they also sit comfortably in your ear. Battery also lasts ages without needing charge. Not too big in size and instant pairing. Such a good buy!". Another wrote: "These earbuds are a game-changer! From the moment I put them in, I was blown away by the crystal-clear audio and rich, deep bass. They fit incredibly well, staying secure even during my most intense workouts, and are so comfortable I often forget I'm wearing them." And yet another pleased buyer added: "Easy to connect to phone and looks just like Apple Airpods! They fit nicely in the ears and the size is perfect for on the go travel. They have good battery life. Amazing for the price!" Join our Dublin Live breaking news service on WhatsApp. Click this link to receive your daily dose of Dublin Live content.
