Naive review : Braun Oral-B Vitality Electric Toothbrush

Braun Vitality Professional electric toothbrush
A basic naive review by a consumer of : Braun Oral-B Vitality Electric Toothbrush
Bought : In UK
Model information : no package, so all I have to go on is on bottom of brush body : Type 3709 (other info : N2820)

Verdict : Seems a decent quality 'starter'/'bottom of the range' electric toothbrush. No frills but does the job. Look our for when it's seasonally on sale or on Amazon where it seems to be usually cheaper.

This review is on a Oral B Vitality toothbrush I bought in 2012. I presume there is not much change in the latest model, though I cannot be sure.

Amazon USA search : Oral-B Electric Toothbrush
Amazon UK search :  Oral-B Electric Toothbrush

Opening comments :
No frills. No LEDs when charging or using to let me know the state of the battery etc. Has a basic timer that pulses at 2 minutes to imply that this is enough time for cleaning. The newer model may also give the 30 second pulses to tell you to switch to another quadrant of the mouth (I ignore the timer myself). Seems to be a good solid electric toothbrush that is bottom of the range but still decent quality.

Philips SHC1300 Wireless Headphones review

Philips SHC1300 wireless headphones
Review : Philips SHC1300 Wireless (infrared) Headphones

Good :
Work well in line of sight of transmitter (says up to 7m)
The neighbours can't 'tune in'
Can use more than one headphone set with the same transmitter
Light and comfy enough
Decent enough sound.
Very decent power length (maybe 20-30 hours with rechargeable ?)
On/off and volume control on phones 
Uses AA batteries meaning no 'downtime' while recharging
Works fine with my rechargeable AA batteries

Bad :
Sound is tinny/thin (but still decent for non-quality listening)
