So many smartphones are getting rid of the 3.5mm headphone jack. It’s usually the mid and high-end phones, which leave you just the USB Type-C port for wired audio output. The trouble is that there aren’t too many good USB Type-C headphones available today. Moshi’s latest Mythro C is one of the few options that has a built-in DAC (Digital to Analogue Converter) for better quality audio output. They have an in-ear design and a sturdy aluminum housing. The fit is comfortable and they will also block out a fair bit of ambient noise which helps in creating an immersive experience. For our review, we used them with a OnePlus 6T and Pixel 3 for music, gaming, videos and voice calls. The sound output impressed us with excellent clarity and punchy bass. For added features, you can install the Moshi Digital Audio companion app. This gives you access to an equalizer to fine tune the sound to your liking.
These are not bass heavy so keep that in mind if you listen to a lot of House, Bollywood/Punjabi or dance music with heavy bass. The microphone is sensitive and works well – no need to raise your voice to be heard during a voice/video call.
For added features, you can install the Moshi Digital Audio companion app from the Play Store. This gives you access to an equalizer to fine tune the sound to your liking. You can switch between your favorite preset equalizer settings with the push of the DJ Boost button on the in-line controls. The only thing missing was a carry pouch for travel. Check out the Mythro C if you’re looking for high-quality wired USB headphones.

Huawei’s Mate 20 Pro, which launched just a few months ago in India, has a feature called Easy Projection. This feature lets you project your phone screen to a larger screen (like a TV or projector) without any wires. It also offers the option to use it in phone mode or desktop mode. In phone mode, it simply mirrors your smartphone’s screen but the desktop mode is what makes this feature more interesting. With desktop mode enabled, the phone’s screen becomes a touchpad and you can even connect a Bluetooth keyboard/mouse for navigation. The interface is like what you would see on a desktop computer with an option to launch apps, change desktop wallpaper and manage your files. The best part: you can still use your phone independently as a smartphone while it powers a desktop experience wirelessly.

Wireless charging offers a lot of convenience but it’s also a lot slower compared to a typical wired charger. With charging technologies getting better (DashCharge on OnePlus, Quick Charge on Qualcomm phones, Huawei Quick Charge, Vooc charging on Oppo) wireless charging seems to be on the back burner despite the convenience. The technology to wirelessly fast charge has been available, notably on the Google Pixel and Pixel Stand and on the Samsung S10 range with Fast Wireless Charging 2.0. Both phones support wireless charging at 10 watts which means it will charge at a similar speed as a conventional wired charger.

This is a feature that is theoretically available on all devices with Bluetooth version 5.0. With this feature, you can have your device (phone/tablet/laptop) stream wireless audio to two connected speakers at the same time. Both the Bluetooth speakers need not be the same. Considering Samsung introduced this feature two years ago on the Galaxy S8, we think it’s high time it became the norm. There are several third party apps that can add this functionality to phones but none are as slick as having the same built into the Bluetooth settings.
