Perfect for professionals, music lovers, and travellers alike, who love excellent sound quality with outstanding comfort fit, this TWS promise to take your aural experience many notches higher.
Thanks to Bluei, we got the review units of Bluei. I have been using the Bluei Yolobuds for over a week. Here we will take a detailed look at the earbuds and then you can decide if it sets the benchmark for the Rs 2.5k TWS segment. For me, it does become the pioneer of this segment.

Design and Build Quality
The Bluei Yolobuds come in an Apple Airpods-type case with the earbuds kept in a vertical position inside the charging box. The case looks good in an all-white colour with the Bluei badging on the front and the product specifications at the back. It also has an LED indicator at the bottom just above the Type C charging port at the bottom.
The lid of the case could have been more sturdy and the hinges stronger but it doesn’t seem like it will be breaking and will be able to withstand your daily usage. The charging case doesn’t hold any fingerprint, which is very good considering India is a hot country so even if you touch the earbuds with sweaty hands, the earbuds will be perfectly fine. However, it can have minor scratches.
Now, coming to the earbuds, they are like the Apple Airpods in shape. It features red and blue indicator lights at the middle of the stem. The microphones are housed at the bottom of the stem. The touch controls are towards the top of the stem so that you can access the touch area easily while wearing it. The intuitive touch controls allow you to skip tracks, adjust volume, manage calls, or launch your phone’s voice assistant effortlessly.
These earbuds feature a lightweight and ergonomic design, which ensures a comfortable wearing experience. It normally fits well in the ears and doesn’t seem like falling off. But as it doesn’t have a silicon ear tip, it may cause some problems fitting in the ears for some people.
Connectivity
The Bluei Yolobuds come with Bluetooth Version 5.0. It is pretty easy to connect with your devices. For the first time, turn on the Bluetooth of your phone and then open the case and pull out the earbuds. You can see “YOLOBUDS 1” in your pairing list, so just connect the device and you are all set to go.
The next time, you just need to turn on the Bluetooth and pull out the earbuds, and then it will get automatically connected to the last paired device. The range of the device is also near the claimed range of 10 meters. So, from the connectivity front, you won’t face any problems and there won’t be any visible lag as well while listening to music, videos or gaming.
Battery Backup
The Bluei Yolobuds come with the latest type of charging. It has a Type C charging port at the bottom of the case so you can easily charge without any hassle. The charging case has a battery capacity of 200 mAh and each earbud has a 28 mAh battery. The claimed battery backup is 4 hours on a single charge.
However, when I tested the Bluei Yolobuds ran for about 2.5-3 hours on a single go. The charging time is around 1-1.5 hours and the charging case can charge for about 3 times. The claimed standby time is 30 days, which I couldn’t test but yes it did remain the same battery percentage for 1-2 days.
Overall, the battery backup is decent but they could have increased the battery capacity of the earbuds and the charging case as well so that we could get longer hours on a single go.
Audio Quality
The audio quality of the Bluei Yolobus is pretty decent. It has proper bass and good clear sound. The highs and lows are also distinct and you can enjoy the music. It is equipped with 10 mm speaker drivers and is powered by True Bass technology to offer an immersive audio experience.
The earbuds are very loud so you don’t have to turn to full volume while listening. 60-70% volume will be more than enough for daily use. Even if there is noise outside, the earbuds’ sound is loud enough to give you an immersive audio experience.
Microphone and call quality
One of the major drawbacks of the Rs 2.5k segment TWS are their lack of microphone and call quality. However, the Bluei Yoloubuds stand apart in this category. I used it for calling extensively and the person on the opposite end of the call didn’t even realise that I’m using the earbuds. The voice was crystal clear and it also reduced the outside noise to some extent. You can definitely use this earbud for your daily communications with ease.
Verdict
The Bluei Yolobuds priced at only Rs 2,199 is one of the best in this segment. The main things are covered in this TWS – audio quality, microphone and call quality are all good. So, if you can look past its average battery backup, then this definitely sets a benchmark in the Rs 2.5k TWS segment.
However, the Bluei Yolobuds are not available online, unfortunately. It is only available in 150+ Bluei offline stores. The retail price of the Yolobuds is Rs. 2,199 with a 12-month warranty. So if you have one near you, then you can definitely buy the Bluei Yolobuds and you won’t regret buying it.
Southampton have reached a breakthrough in negotiations to sign Mislav Orsic from Southampton. The deal had stalled earlier this week, but after the increased offer worth £6 million – they have finalised an agreement with Dinamo Zagreb for the forward.
The 30-year-old will be completing his medical for the move to St Mary’s in the coming hours. The documents are now being prepared to complete his switch very soon, so that more players can be signed in the coming days.
Mislav Orsic to join Southampton in the coming hours
Southampton are set to sign Mislav Orsić from Dinamo Zagreb, deal fully agreed for £6m — first part of medical completed. ⚪️🔴🇭🇷 #SaintsFC
Orsic might be a name familiar to fans of Chelsea, West Ham and Tottenham. The Croatian scored a hat-trick to dump Spurs out of the 2020 Europa League. He also scored against West Ham United last year, while also netting the winner against Chelsea in the Champions League, in Thomas Tuchel’s last game in charge of the Blues.
The forward has scored 13 goals and provided eight assists across 27 games this season. As a result, he will be expected to bolster their attack after his arrival.
Southampton are currently at the bottom of the Premier League, and are in a very difficult situation right now. It remains to be seen whether the arrival of Mislav Orsic can indeed help them survive the drop this year.
Sony LIV has dropped the teaser of Sudhir Mishra’s new crime drama show Jehanabad, Parambrata in a still from Jehanabad. After watching the teaser, Sudhir Mishra’s new crime shows are looking very promising. The show has been Directed by Rajeev Barnwal and Satyanshu Singh, the new show will soon be released on Sony LIV. Ritwik Bhowmik, Harshita Gaur, and Parambrata Chattopadhyay play the lead roles in the web series.
The teaser starts with two men on a bike talking about cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni. One of them says, “Is he a Sardar?” And the other one responds with, “No way, he is a Rajput. A Sardar! And, why are you even stuck between these castes – Rajput, Sardar, etc.? He is very much like us. He came from grass root level and rose to this stature.” The first person then describes Dhoni’s infamous helicopter shot.
Soon, they cover their faces and are ready for an attack. They have to exploit the gated compound and flee away before cops emerge from inside the compound. It has been inspecting a package lying near the gate. The shocking exposure of a chopped-off head comes across as a jolt as the teaser comes to an end. Before the end, Parambrata has appeared like he is handed over a message carved on a soap bar. The message says “gaddar khata” and he has been handcuffed.
After sharing the teaser, Sudhir wrote on Twitter, “Watch! Introducing a rare talent: director Rajeev Baranwal. Terrific cast. Congratulations @001Danish ,@saugatam @Indranil160. As a mentor, I also learn from those I guide. Mubarak @ritwikbhowmikk @HarshitaGaur12 @paramspeak #Rajatkapoor #satyadeepmishra #sonaljha & #Rajeshjais.”
The story has been inspired by true events, show Jehanabad is a crime drama set in a small town of Bihar in 2005. Provided by the teaser, the show seems to be set in the backdrop of the 2005 incident in which 372 prisoners escaped from Jehanabad jail having a Naxalites attack in November 2005.
Sudhir Mishra is a showrunner for Jehnabad. The previous outing was the Indian remake of the famous Israeli show Fauda. The story of Tanaav was set in the backdrop of tensions in Kashmir and traced a group of special unit cops as they dealt with various terror elements in the valley.
Jehanabad: Release Date
Sony LIV has not even confirmed the official release date of the new web series, but it will release very soon.
Gerard Butler has come with a new action thriller Plane. The film has revealed a partnership forged in the most unlikely of circumstances. The story of the film is set to follow pilot Brodie Torrance as he battles to protect the passengers of his aircraft, as landed on a war-torn island after being struck by lightning.
The new trailer starts with Louis Gaspare introduced to Torrance as an accused murderer who has been transported by the FBI on the plane. However, Gaspare and Torrance will later work together to save the passengers who had taken the hostage on the war-torn island that was supposed to be their means of survival after the risky landing.
The power-pack action thriller comes from the little snippets revealed in the trailer, and it is no surprise that a project like this attracted Butler in the leading role. Butler is known for taking on action movies, notably for his role as Leonidas, the Spartan warrior King in Zack Synder’s blockbuster 300. He has followed up 300 by taking those action roles in the film like Den of Thieves as Nicholas O’Brien, Law Abiding Citizen as Clyde Alexander, Machine Gun Preacher as Sam Childers, Olympus Has Fallen, London Has Fallen, and Angel Has Fallen as Mike Banning.
In the last interview, Butler said he always liked action films with “ordinary” heroes instead of superheroes. He noted that action movies made him feel cool and badass. He said the movies always made him feel brave, and it made him want to be the hero he saw on screen.
“I’ve always been into the hero’s journey but without necessarily having to be the most amazing warrior – we’re all on a hero’s journey.”
Plane: Cast
The film also features Yoson as Officer Dele, Daniella Pineda as Bonnie, Paul Ben-Victor as Hampton, Joey Slotnick as Sinclair, and Remi Adele as Shellback. Plane is directed by French director Jean-Francois Richet, who is known for his work on Assault on Precinct 13 and Mesrine: Killer Instinct. JP Davis wrote the screenplay while Charles Cumming is credited for the film’s original idea. It was reported that Cumming’s pitch was originally bought by MadRiver Pictures in 2016 before Lionsgate acquired the rights in 2019.
Plane: Release Date
Butler’s new action-thriller ‘Plane’ has been set for release on 13th January 2023.

AMD has officially released the specifications for their Instinct MI300 ‘CDNA 3’ accelerator, which uses Zen 4 CPU cores in a 5nm 3D chiplet container. The most recent AMD Instinct MI300 accelerator specifications show that this exascale APU will be a monster of a chiplet design. The CPU will be made up of many 5nm 3D chiplet packages, totalling 146 billion transistors.
Among those transistors are numerous core IPs, memory interfaces, interconnects, and other components. The CDNA 3 architecture is the foundation of the Instinct MI300, but the APU also includes 24 Zen 4 Data Center CPU cores and 128 GB of next-generation HBM3 memory running in an 8192-bit wide bus configuration, which is simply mind-blowing.

During the AMD Financial Day 2022, the company confirmed that the MI300 will be a multi-chip and multi-IP Instinct accelerator that includes not only the next-generation CDNA 3 GPU cores but also the next-generation Zen 4 CPU cores.
To enable greater than 2 exaflops of double precision processing power, the U.S. Department of Energy, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and HPE have teamed up with AMD to design El Capitan, expected to be the world’s fastest supercomputer with delivery anticipated in early 2023. El Capitan will leverage next generation products that incorporate improvements from the custom processor design in Frontier.

In the most recent performance tests, AMD demonstrated that the Instinct Mi300 outperforms the Instinct MI250X by 8x in AI performance (TFLOPs) and 5x in AI performance per watt (TFLOPs/watt).
AMD’s Instinct MI300 ‘CDNA 3’ APUs will be manufactured on both 5nm and 6nm manufacturing nodes. The chip will include the next version of Infinity Cache as well as the 4th Generation Infinity architecture, which will enable CXL 3.0 ecosystem support. The Instinct MI300 accelerator will include a unified memory APU architecture and new Math Formats, allowing for a tremendous 5x performance per watt increase over CDNA 2.
AMD also predicts that the AI performance will be more than 8 times that of the CDNA 2-based Instinct MI250X accelerators. The UMAA on the CDNA 3 GPU will connect the CPU and GPU to a unified HBM memory package, reducing redundant memory copies and delivering reduced TCO.
And despite interest from other clubs in the Netherlands, the veteran has completed a surprise move to Bavaria. He is expected to cover for the injured Lucas Hernandez, and has signed a deal until the end of the 22/23 season. A potential extension will be discussed at the end of the campaign based on how he performs.
Bayern Munich complete the signing of Daley Blind

SamsungSmartThings Station – The new, easy-to-use smart home hub offers simple control and interoperability of multiple connected devices
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced SmartThings Station, an easy-to-use, affordable smart home hub and fast charging pad. As the smart home market continues to grow, users need simple, interoperable, and dependable ways to connect a more significant number of devices. SmartThings Station offers quick setup and compatibility with a range of smart home products including Matter devices, with the simplicity that users expect from Samsung. With SmartThings Station, users can automate different aspects of their home environment, setting routines that add convenience to their day and help to reduce energy waste such as switching off lights and appliances easily.
“Having a smarter home shouldn’t be complicated or expensive. So we wanted to create SmartThings Station as a simple, reliable and expandable smart home hub,” said Jaeyeon Jung, Executive Vice President and Head of SmartThings, Device Platform Center at Samsung Electronics. “The number of devices in a connected home continues to grow, especially in light of the recent Matter standard launch. We’re proud to play a role in making it easier to embrace this exciting technology.”
A Smarter Home, With Minimal Effort
Samsung’s SmartThings Station is easy to set up. When a user powers the device on for the first time, pop-up messages will appear on a user’s Samsung Galaxy smartphone to help guide users through the connection process smoothly. Users may also choose the option to efficiently onboard devices with a simple scan of a QR code with a smartphone camera.
Intuitively Adapts to Users Daily Routines
A smart home hub helps multiple devices, including thermostats, lighting, and power outlets, seamlessly interconnect with other devices connected to the smart home server, so they all work together to create a harmonized environment. SmartThings Station makes it easy to automate pre-set routines created via the SmartThings mobile app, without requiring users to control individual devices manually.
With a press of the Smart Button on the SmartThings Station, users can activate a routine created on their SmartThings app. For example, when it’s time for bed, a quick tap could trigger a routine for sleep – which could turn off the lights, close the blinds and lower the temperature. Or, if a movie night is on the cards, a movie routine could turn on the TV and dim the lights. When leaving home, the SmartThings Station can turn off power outlets and unused appliances to save energy, and activate a security system. Users might also want a gaming routine, which could activate specific TV and lighting settings and turn on ‘Do not Disturb’ mode.
Consumers can trigger up to three different routines just by pressing the Smart Button, with short press, long press, or double press activations. Routines can also be activated via the SmartThings app, whether people are at home or away.
Find and Manage Your Devices around Home More Accurately
SmartThings Station is also integrated with Samsung’s SmartThings Find, a rapidly growing asset-tracking service. It helps users to find misplaced devices – double pressing the Smart Button can ring your nearby phone making it easier to find.
Serving as an always-at-home device scanner, SmartThings Station helps Samsung Galaxy users to keep track of the locations of their registered devices – from smartphones, tablets, watches, and earbuds to personal belongings such as keys or a wallet that have a Galaxy SmartTag or SmartTag+ device attached. By routinely scanning for devices, SmartThings Station will tell users the location of connected smart devices or tags around the home and share an alert on the user’s smartphone when a tag or device leaves or returns home.
A Fast Charging Pad That Fits Perfectly in a Smart Home
SmartThings Station is also a powerful charging pad supporting up to 15W wireless charging. Fast charging is an ingenious addition to a Smart Home hub because it works so well with the rhythms of life. Users can choose to receive an alert when charging is completed, so they can pick up play where they have left off or switch to charge another device.
Availability
SmartThings Station will launch in the U.S. and Korea. The device will be available in black or white from early February 2023 in the U.S. market.
