During the COVID-19 Pandemic, we are seeing a surge in the demand for TWS earphones as compared to Bluetooth headphones. We think this demand is good as these are comfortable to wear and especially because of its compact design. We have been using the Sony WH-H800 TWS wireless earphones for quite some time. And if we talk about the pricing the Sony TWS earphones are available with a price tag of Rs 14,990 via Flipkart as well as Sony retail stores (Sony Center and Sony Exclusive). So, without further ado, let’s get right into the review of Sony WF-H800 truly wireless earphones.DesignThe Sony WF-H800 truly wireless earphones comes with an in-ear design and in India, it is available in a single black colour option. Although in other markets the company offers these TWS earphones in a wide variety of colour options. The earphones come with an ergonomic Tri-hold structure that fits nicely inside the ears and not falls off easily. Besides this, the package includes the Type C charging cable as well as silicone rubber earbuds for different ear cavity types. All of these are soft, comfortable and sweat-resistant, so it can be your companion during your indoor and outdoor workout sessions. The Sony earphones have physical keys instead of touch controls that offer a soft click.Talking about the charging case, it is quite big as compared to other brands offering earphones with a similar form factor. The earphones easily slip inside and get magnetically attached so that they don’t fall off. The USB Type-C port can be found at the bottom of the case. The lid of the Sony WF-H800 case has an LED light that glows during charging and when the earphones are placed inside the case.PerformanceSony WF-H800 TWS earphones come with 6mm Neodymium drivers. So, these earphones are good for casual listeners who are looking for balance throughout the audio range from lows to highs. So you can use the earbuds for music listening as well as watching Netflix and Prime video if you are into that. The earphones use Bluetooth 5.0 and for quick connectivity, NFC is available too. This makes Bluetooth pairing as simple and easy as plugging in a cable. To use this feature, you need to be sure that both your mobile device and your headphones support “tap-to-pair” functionality.Astonishingly, the WF-H800 TWS earphones do not have any IPX rating as it is only meant for casual listening. So, we don’t recommend you to use these for water sports or similar activities. To power on and off the earbuds is quite simple. Just take them out of the case or put them back into the case and they come alive or go to sleep.You can also control volume from the earbuds itself. Though you require the smartphone app to change the functions such as Alexa, Google Voice Assistant and other media controls. When it comes to the passive sound isolation these earbuds deliver. These are as good as other Sony TWS earphones because the ear tips go deep into your ear canal therefore blocking the environmental noises. But, they do not have active noise cancellation also known as ANC. Users can check the battery status using the smartphone app. Over that, you can check each part’s playback control sound, EQ adjustments, 360 reality audio set up, DSEE HX as well as the sound quality mode in the app too. Also be sure to turn off the Equalizer setting while using the DSEE HX Auto setting because if the Equalizer setting is enabled, DSEE HX will not work, even when DSEE HX is set to Auto.Moving on to battery life. The Sony WF-H800 earbuds offer you eight hours of battery life while the charging case delivers one more additional charge of eight hours. This means a total of 16 hours is what the users get.For audio quality, the vocals are not distracted by the bass in the background, which is good so you can hear more of the vocals. The bass is highly energetic and notable but it is not as bombastic for our liking. As we said before the bass doesn’t overpower the vocals and it still sounds sharp, so it is not a big negative. Overall, the Sony WF-H800 TWS earphones performed well considering the mid-range category.VerdictSony is facing stiff competition from other brands in the TWS segment that are offering pocket-friendly wireless earphones. The Sony WF-H800 TWS earphones focus more on vocals and are perfect for people who like to watch a lot of Netflix as well as listen to a lot of music. So, we consider them a good starting buy for everyday casual listening. Long battery life is another plus of these nifty little sound operators.

With news being officially confirmed that Deathloop will arrive on consoles exclusively for PlayStation 5 on May 21, 2021, it has now been revealed how the upcoming action-adventure game developed by Arkane Studios is taking advantage of the PS5’s DualSense controller to enhance the immersive experience.
According to Anne Lewis, Senior Content Manager at Bethesda Softworks that has published Deathloop, “With Deathloop’s dynamic weapons, every weapon will feel unique in your hands. From the way it fires or swings, to the way it reloads or connects with its target, you’ll feel the difference through the DualSense controller.”
The PT-6 Spiker in Deathloop is an example of dynamic weapon system. The player will feel each nail fall into the magazine with granularity every time he/she reload the weapon. Also, one would feel the resistance of the adaptive trigger as they hold to align the shot, and the immediate recoil and discharge when they fire.
“Every time you die on Blackreef or the loop restarts, it’s a chance to get better. You learn. You grow. You get more badass weapons and abilities. But when you first start out, you might be working with a lower-tier weapon. Something maybe a little rusty and prone to jamming. When a low-tier weapon is jammed, your trigger button will be blocked halfway, giving you instantaneous feedback even before the animation notifies you. It’s a momentary setback that could force you to retreat for a beat while you fix it. As you’re watching your character on-screen punch the gun to get it in working order, you’ll feel a correlating strike in your controller, activating the mechanism to unjam it,” added Lewis.
As far as DualSense controller speaker is concerned, Deathloop allows you to hear the action coming from your hands. Also, they player could hear the dry click of the weapon trigger as he/she just fired the last bullet and run out of ammo. Each sound perfectly complements the events on-screen and the sensations coming from the controller.
Mind you! Deathloop is now available to pre-order for PlayStation 5. An official blog post has revealed that the standard edition of Deathloop contains the base game and comes with the following pre-order bonuses:
Unique Weapon: Royal Protector Machete (PS5 Exclusive)
Character Skin: “Storm Rider” Colt
One Trinket (equippable buff)
On the other hand, the Deathloop Deluxe Edition comprises of the base game as well as the following:
Unique Weapon: Transtar Trencher (PS5 Exclusive)
Unique Weapon: Eat The Rich Tribunal
Unique Weapon: .44 Karat Fourpounder
Character Skin: “Party Crasher” Colt
Character Skin: “Sharp Shooter” Julianna
Original Game Soundtrack Selections
Two Trinkets (equippable buffs)
Lastly, the pre-order for the Deluxe Edition comprises of the following bonuses:

With an aim to step up its competition against TikTok and Instagram Reels, Snapchat has introduced Spotlight to highlight the most entertaining Snaps created by the Snapchat community. The American multimedia messaging app allows the users to submit the best video Snaps to Spotlight enabling them to earn a share of more than $1 million that it claims to be distributing to creators every day.
According to Snapchat, “We built Spotlight to be a place where anyone’s content can take center stage – without needing a public account, or an influencer following. It’s a fair and fun place for Snapchatters to share their best Snaps and see perspectives from across the Snapchat community.”
As far as the opportunity to earn money is concerned, the Snaps you submit to Spotlight must follow Snapchat’s content guidelines and terms that prohibit the spread of false information (including conspiracy theories), misleading content, hate speech, explicit or profane content, bullying, harassment, violence, and much more. The most important thing that has to be kept in mind before participation is that the age of participant must be 16 years or older to earn.
Snapchat further revealed that earnings are determined by a proprietary formula which rewards Snapchatters on the basis of the total number of unique video views a Snap gets in a given day (calculated using Pacific Time) as against the performance of other Snaps that day.
Moreover, Snapchat’s Spotlight content is moderated and doesn’t allow for public comments. The content algorithms of Snapchat work to surface the most engaging Snaps that one must be interested in. It focuses on serving the right Snaps to the right person at the right time by understanding the personal preferences. Furthermore, the ranking algorithm also takes notice of negative factors like if the viewer skipped watching the Snap quickly. Mind you! Snaps that appear in Spotlight can be from Snapchatters with private, personal accounts, or from Snap Stars with public profiles and millions of Subscribers.
“We also use “exploration” mechanisms to ensure that you see new and diverse entertainment in Spotlight. This approach distributes views more fairly to a broad group of creators. And, it teaches our algorithmic models that diversity and inclusion of different views should be part of their native function,” added the American multimedia messaging app.
Mind you! Spotlight is currently in the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Ireland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, and France, with more countries coming soon.
