Philips i9000 Review: Premium design, reliable performance
Philips is a well-known brand in India's grooming space with products ranging from trimmers to hair dryers and shavers. The Dutch company recently launched its new i9000 electric shaver, which promises a comfortable shaving experience tailored to each user with the help of AI. But how well does it hold up to that promise? Let's find out in this review. Opening the box of the Philips i9000 shaver, you're greeted with the device itself, a charging cable, and a premium-feeling travel case. The charging cable connects from USB-A to a proprietary pin, which feels like a missed opportunity for a premium product since USB-C has become the standard across most accessories. The shaver itself feels premium in hand despite being made of polycarbonate. There's a power button in the middle with a small display just below it, while the shaving heads sit on top. Philips claims the i9000 offers a personalized shaving experience via its GroomTribe app, but I was unable to get the shaver paired with the Android app and therefore couldn't test these features. Battery life, however, is impressive. While I didn't completely drain it to the claimed 60-minute runtime, my usage suggests it's more or less accurate. The shaver uses a triple-action lift-and-cut system powered by dual steel precision blades that Philips says can perform 7–8 million cutting motions per minute. The i9000 is great for tackling small stubble (up to a week old), but if you have a longer beard, you'll need to trim it down before shaving. In practice, the process is straightforward: press the button, and the shaver kicks into action. It does feel like it adapts to the contours of your face as you go. As a first-time user, there is a slight learning curve, but once you get comfortable, the device really grows on you. At ₹ 17,999, the Philips i9000 electric shaver isn't for everyone. But for premium users who want a grooming tool that combines performance with convenience, it's a compelling option. It delivers on comfort and design, though app connectivity issues and the lack of USB-C leave room for improvement.

Huawei FreeClip Review: Decent, distinctive, and comfortable
In India's bustling urban landscape, the Huawei FreeClip offers an intriguing option for those seeking open-ear audio with a fashionably futuristic twist. Here's what makes them decent, and where they fall short. I tried the Huawei FreeClip and here's what I think of it.(Debashis Sarkar) Design and fit: Stylish, lightweight, and remarkably comfortable The standout feature of the FreeClip is its open-ear C-bridge design, resembling a thin, flexible clip that hooks onto your ear cartilage. This keeps the earbuds securely in place without entering your ear canal, allowing you to stay aware of ambient sounds, ideal for commuters or multitaskers. Weighing just 5.6 g per earbud, users often 'barely feel them,' making extended wear surprisingly comfortable, even when nodding off or wearing spectacles. Weighing just 5.6 g per earbud, users often 'barely feel them"(Debashis Sarkar) Audio quality: Clear, ambient-friendly, but not for bass lovers The FreeClip uses 10.8 mm dual-magnet drivers along with Huawei's reverse sound wave system to channel audio into your ear while limiting leakage. In quieter environments, the sound is detailed and articulate, with bright highs and clear vocals, perfect for podcasts or vocal-rich tracks. However, don't expect booming bass or immersive music experiences, music lovers may find the low end underwhelming. Because of the open design, sound does leak noticeable-ly at higher volumes, which could disturb others nearby. Controls and functionality: Clever but hit-and-miss Each earbud is identical (no left/right distinction), which simplifies wearability and ensures stereo channels auto-switch correctly. Controls are divided across three touch zones, but many users report the taps can be inconsistent and frustrating. Features like gesture control (e.g., nod to accept calls) add novelty, but tweaking these presets requires the AI-Life app, some of which (like EQ customisation) remain limited. Battery and connectivity: Strong performer Battery life is impressive, up to 8 hours on a single charge and around 36 hours with the case. A 10-minute quick charge provides approximately 3 hours of listening time. The charging case supports both USB-C wired and wireless (Qi) charging, an appreciated touch for the Indian audience who value flexible charging options. Connection-wise, Bluetooth 5.3 and support for SBC, AAC, and L2HC codecs, plus dual-device connectivity, ensure smooth pairing and usage across multiple devices. The charging case supports both USB-C wired and wireless (Qi) charging. Call performance: mixed results Call clarity is a weak spot. The open-ear architecture and mic setup, while innovative, results in voices that can sound less natural or slightly coarse. Some users report interruptions or unnatural tone. Still, others praise headset clarity and usefulness in office scenarios. Price and Indian Launch: A fashionable mid-range choice Launched in India in July 2025 at ₹14,999, the FreeClip lands firmly in the mid-range segment. The price and unique design position it as a fashionable, daily wearable, not a budget model, but more accessible than most premium brands. Huawei FreeClip is a decent choice for Indian users seeking stylish, open-ear earbuds. Final verdict The Huawei FreeClip is a decent choice for Indian users seeking stylish, open-ear earbuds with excellent comfort and battery life. Ideal for callers, commuters, and ambient music lovers, it delivers where design and convenience matter. However, if you prioritise immersive sound, deep bass, or flawless touch controls, you'll likely feel the limitations.
