헤드랜턴 찾으세요? 이건 어떠신지?

낚시할 때엔 매듭을 묶거나 릴링을 할 때 두 손이 자유로와야 하기 때문에 헤드랜턴을 주로 쓴다. 그런데, 자전거를 타거나 등산을 다니는 사람은 1자형 몸통의 핸드랜턴을 이미 한두개 정도 가지고 있을 것이다.
이미 가지고 있는 핸드랜턴을 헤드랜턴처럼 사용할 수 있게 해 주는 매우 유용한 물건,  '플래시라이트 헤드밴드'를 사용해 보자.


http://www.blackberet-mall.co.kr에서 개당 7천원에 판매되고 있다.

사용방법:
작은 고무밴드로 핸드랜턴 몸통을 헤드밴드에 고정시켜 사용.
작은 고무밴드의 위치, 밴드의 가로 세로 길이를 조절가능.
세로밴드는 가로밴드로부터 분리될 수 있음.

랜턴자체무게 + 배터리무게가 있는데다, 세로밴드에 작은 고무밴드로 고정시키기 때문에 헤드램프가 좀 덜렁대고, 일반적인 헤드랜턴처럼 랜턴의 조사각을 조정하는 것이 조금 어렵지만,
랜턴의 위치를 한 번 세팅해 놓으면 그대로 쓰게 되니 별 불편함을 못 느끼게 되고, 기존의 핸드랜턴을 사용하니 헤드랜턴을 따로 살 필요가 없다.

(이 밴드가 제공하는 고정용 작은 고무밴드는 지름이 2센티 정도 되는 핸드랜턴을 끼워 사용하는데에 적합하다.)

PISnet Music Rider

This is my 4th PISnet bluetooth speaker, and I love it!!!

Nice look, great sound, fantastic features and great performance per price - catch all four with this speaker, and do seriously consider BUYING TWO! (See its features, and you'll know why.)

Description
1. Size: It will fit snuggly to the waterbottle cage for bicycles. For my palm size, it is easy to grab, and weighs just right - not too light or heavy.
2. Finish: VERY high-quality finish. Rubber covers on top and bottom sides, and the gril is covered with fabric for protection. Every joint fits perfectly. Matte black pretty much all around gives it a high-quality feel, and the glossy, hairline metal woofer covers doubles such feel.
3. Interface: Simple, easy-to use.
4. Features: This one comes with built-in FM radio! On top of that, PISnet added another great feature - if you have two of these, you can connect them to each other through bluetooth, to make each one play left and right, respectively!!! You can double the great sound at home, and when you are going outdoors, simply take one of them with you!!!
5. Runtime: Haven't really measured it yet, but it is long enough for a night of fishing in the beach.
6. Sound: It is LOUD!

Something PISnet can improve are:
1. 'Waist belt': It is not rubber, fabric, or glossy hairline metal. While everything else say 'high-quality', this is the only thing that breaks the visual harmony.
2. Vocal interface: I wonder who in PISnet decided to use this female voice in its bluetooth speakers. Please, use something else! Uplifting chimes or beeps would be better than this dull, plain voice. If it has to be the woman's voice, at least consider not saying '~ mode' at the end of each announcement.
3. Strap: It is just a shoelace. I would put something better than a humble shoelace befitting this high-quality product.

PISnet Highend

PISnet Highend bluetooth speaker is as good as Bose Soundstation Mini.

Design? A little dull. But I like the width-wide woofer hole.

Sound? I had both Bose Soundstation Mini and PISnet Highend, and to a layman's ears, the sounds from two speakers were both great.
Price? With the pricetag below 50% of that on Bose speaker, the sound from PISnet Highend sounds even better than that of Bose Soundstation Mini.
Interface: This is only thing that I think less highly of PISnet Highend. On/off switch is too small and stuck in a position not easily reachable.
Option: PISnet offers two versions - one with a line-out and the other with micro TF memory based MP3 player. The latter is slightly more expensive than the former, but it is well worth it.
