Logitech HS-LOGI-H110 Stereo Headset with Mic, Black/Grey

The item took ages to be dispatched despite being in stock when I purchased it. Due to lock-down, it took forever to get it delivered. And when it was, the disappointment was enormous, as I wanted this item to do some freelance work and it is not usable for that.
 
The only photo available, conveniently, doesn't show the jacks, and this is a problem as they won't fit most computers unless they are old models where these 2 jacks were the standard. This being the case, you'll need to buy an adapter to fit it in. This being the case, the item ends being expensive for what it is - an average home-use headset. Also, the cable is a nuisance, as it is too long for a laptop. It might be good for a desktop computer, though.

You cannot control the volume via the headset cable but through the computer sound.

Quality of recorded sound is OK with regards to the recorded sound per se, but due to having to use an USB adapter there is background zoom noise that ruins a professional recording. Quality of sound when listening to a video-clip or watching a movie in my laptop is decent.

The headset is a bit tight on the head even for small heads like mine.

I am a fan of Logitech, but this model is prehistoric and not worth the money.

Weddingstar Washable Cloth Face Mask w/Dust Filter Pocket - Music Notes

The mask is really as photographed, something I don't take for granted as many photos are really misleading. This mask is cool and very elegant, looks good on men and women, and is large enough to cover a man's face but not too big to look huge on a small face like mine. Light to wear. Silky-light texture. The only downside is that it doesn't come with any filter, so that might be an issue for some people I appreciate the speedy dispatch and delivery in these lock-down days, especially this being a necessity Most happy with seller.

OPPO VOOC Flash charger/sync 1M micro USB Cable, white

This is a replacement to a cable I had for my Oppo phone. The other one has lasted me about 5 years. This cable allows super-fast charge, it's sturdy yet flexible and very good quality. Very fast dispatch and delivery, something that I really appreciate during lock-down because the other cable was totally not working and waiting for a staple like this for more than 2 days would have been a hassle.

TOLL Australia

 
Every time I have to deal with TOLL I end being upset, frustrated and my issues are never solved. Inflexible and not customer centred. They don't listen to customers. They expect customers to chase the parcel. Customer service is not good either, not because CSOs are bad per se, but because the company is dreadful and they have to follow procedure. As a customer, every time I made a purchase and the store I buy from sends a parcel via TOLL, I know there is going to be an issue. Like right now.

PokeHome Candle Luxury Scented Soy Jar Candle, Small 3.6 Oz (Daisy, Mars)

I'm in love with this candle container, so sculptural, classy and beautiful in itself Candle inside is small and the scent is sort of lavander-ish/daisy-ish. Once the candle is consumed, you still have this awesome mini-sculpture jar to use with another candle, as a container for small rings or earrings, or just as a decorative element. Packaging is really good as it has some double-mold foam inside the box that holds and protects the sculptural top and the candle container. I wish they had more variety of candles, because this candle is really elegant. The candle per se is on the small size, but the jar and the top are still medium sized. Good value for money.

Beserk (Online Store)

I've purchased from Beserk online many times, especially small homewares, incense stuff, Hot Chocolate flat shoes, and alternative cruelty free make-up (Lethal Cosmetics, Medusa Cosmetics, Lime Crime, Starrily etc.). My experience has always been fantastic.

Their website looks quite bad, outdated and fit for weird 15yos., and it could be a bit more polished so that doesn't mislead first visitors. Beserk is much more and you'll find plenty of cute items of clothing, imported shoes (from the uber-sexy to the uber-comfy) and vegan cruelty-free fantastic makeup bands. For sure, if you are into witchy Wiccanish stuff, this is also a place for you.  

Price is just OK, taking into account that many of the products they sell are from imported cult brands.

Shopping from their website is really easy and straightforward. They have a fab rewards program that can save you a good amount of money (you get 1 reward point for each dollar spent, and when you have 50 you get $2.5 off, 100 = $5 and 200 = $10.

Dispatch is decently fast, and parcels are handled by  AuPost, so you'll be super-informed of when your parcel is leaving or arriving.  

Many people ask me about my shoes and makeup, especially, and they're surprised that they come from Beserk, so that says a lot about the need of the store to better think their homepage and whole design.

One of the things that bothers me is that, to get free shipping, you have to spend $99, but that's a bit high taking into account that this is a big store and that shipping via AuPost is quite cheap for large businesses with many postal transactions. I think 50 bucks would be a more reasonable benchmark for free shipping.

Also when you have some rewards point to use, you cannot use them with any other discount code, so that means that you can qualify for free shipping because you've spent over $99 but applying the rewards takes you out of it. It is a bit dodgy and loses them money, if they made their accounts they'd realise just that.

They don't publish honest reviews that have less than 4 stars, so that's dodgy and unprofessional. So, that being the case, I ignore their reviews as they're cherry-picked for sales purposes. Dodgy!
