THE PACKAGING : WHAT'S INSIDE ?
The product comes packed in a nice rectangular box. Inside the box, the earphones are placed in a transparent plastic tray. The quality of packaging is really great.The earphones and the microphone  have dedicated slots where they are pushed in and placed neatly. I'm really impressed with the packing.

Other than that the box contains 2 pairs of Extra Earbuds of different sizes (and shapes). Most people will find a comfortable fit by changing the earbuds if needed. The earbuds come in a sealed pouch unlike a zip lock pouch, like the boAt bassheads 100, so once opened, you need to store them carefully.

• CABLE LENGTH : 120 cm

• FREQUENCY RANGE : 20~20000 Hz

THE DESIGN AND BUILD QUALITY :
boAt calls these earphones 'hawk' inspired. The overall design is quite unique and will stand out from the other earphones. I personally like the design. It has sort of an aggressiveness to it. The 'hawk' theme cannot be noticed much in Black color though.

Coming to the other aspects of design, the cable length is 120 cm, i.e 1.2 mts long and this length is adequate for most conditions. You can easily leave your phone in your pocket and the earphones will still reach your ears without being stretched out.

The overall Fit and Finish of the product is great. Everything is well put together and there are no loose bits hanging out here and there. My usage is kind of rough and even after almost 6 months, nothing has come apart, both sides are working perfectly as they should and the microphone cover hasn't split open . The cables rarely ever get tangled. I keep them in a tight space inside my bag without any proper folding and when I remove them back again, I've never  had to carefully untangle the wires as if I'm trying to diffuse a bomb.
The insulation on the cables is still intact and hasn't started to peel off.The only part that has broken is a rubber covering on the cable where where the cable meets the earphone (On the L.H.S earphone) but this isn't really a shock for me, considering the rough usage. The 'boAt' logo printed on the microphone cover hasn't peeled off except at some very tiny places which are not easily noticable. In short, the quality of materials used is very impressive. The button on the microphone isn't loose and feels nice to press.

In terms of drawbacks, there are two things that might be annoying to some people. The first is that the microphone is not placed close to your mouth and hangs somewhere on your chest. I personally prefer it this way but it could have been slightly higher as sometimes during calls, I get complaints from the other person that they can't hear me loud enough, especially in situations where I can't talk loudly. Due to this I sometimes have to hold the microphone near my mouth which can become uncomfortable at times.
The other problem that I sometimes face when I sleep on my side with the earphones on is that it pokes your ear. But this can be solved with a few adjustments and isn't a really major issue.

Rest, design wise this is a pretty good product.

THE COMFORT AND ERGONOMICS :
The earphones fit your ear nicely and do not slide out.

Other than the placement of the microphone and the slightly uncomfortable feeling while wearing the earphones and sleeping on your sides(which can be adjusted), there aren't really any issues with the comfort and ergonomics of this earphones. It gets a good 8.5/10

THE PERFORMANCE :
Now, coming to the main part of any earphone, the audio quality. Before you proceed, let me tell you that I'm no music expert and I'll speak about the performance from the point of view of a ordinary person looking for some decent sound quality.

boAt calls these earphones the 'BassHeads' 100 so I'll talk about the bass first. I too, usually prefer bass heavy music and my playlist too, is full of bass heavy Hip Hop music (I listen to other genres equally often). When you hear 'BassHeads' you expect it to deliver good bass and the 'Bassheads 100' does not disappoint at all. The bass isn't super hard hitting but it is pretty strong and does not sound flat at all. There is no distortion at high volumes. The overall sound quality is crisp and I don't have any complaints and  considering the price point, it is great. You definitely wouldn't feel cheated after purchasing these earphones. Sound quality gets a good 9/10, keeping in mind the price.(The Mi Earphones Basic have slightly better bass)



Noise cancellation I would say, is excellent. I use these earphone daily during my commute from home to college and back and the buses I travel in are pretty noisy with very loud and unrefined sounding engines and other unpleasant sounds. But since the day I've started using the Bassheads 100, the noisy buses weren't really an issue. 95% of the noise is reduced and all I hear is music and some really faint bus noises. At home It's actually dangerous to sit with the volume turned up high as It becomes difficult to hear someone calling you (hopefully It's not your mother), or if someone rings the doorbell. So noise cancellation gets a 9/10

The audio quality during calls is also great and I don't have any other complaints other than the placement of the microphone being a little too far

OTHER HELPFUL INFORMATION :

1. While playing music, single press the microphone button once to pause the music, double press to go to next song and triple press to go to previous(the triple press function doesn't seem to be working on my phone anymore)
2. To answer calls, single press the microphone button once. During calls, press the microphone button once to disable the mic and and press again to enable it, long press to cut the call.

This post will include everything about how I use this product, the before and after results, the PROS  and CONS, the side effects and so on. So stay tuned as bring to you my honest review of the UrbanGabru ZERO 2 INFINITY Clay Hair Wax 2019.

Before I continue let me make it very clear that these are just my views about the product and I shall not take responsibility for any damage caused to anyone due to their usage of the product after reading my review.




So welcome back guys to yet another post on the EveryDay blog. This time around it's about a product that has become an important part of my life now.A product that I've been using so regularly that something feels incomplete if I don't use it before I head out of my house. It's the UrbanGabru ZERO 2 INFINITY Clay Hair Wax that I'm talking about.

PART 1 : The Story
So before I begin, let me give you a small background story about why I chose to use any hair styling product in the first place. If you want to skip this and head straight to the review then go to part 2 . For most part of my life, I've always had short hair due to various reasons like my school being strict about haircuts and my parents( especially my mother) who thought that keeping your hair short will make you look decent. Well, I agree to that point to a certain extent but towards the end of my 12th STD, I started growing my hair out and realised how great it looked. But there was a problem. I just couldn't style it properly. My hair was all over the place and it was really annoying. Back then, I had no idea about the various Indian products available in the market. All I used was nothing(Sometimes Brylcreem which did nothing to help me) .This was in the beginning of 2017. Then ended my 12th std and so began my 1st year year. By this time I was fed up of my long hair and I got it cut it to a medium length. Then few months into my Engineering life, I started missing my long hair and started growing it back again. During those days I had done a little research and was using the UrbanGabru Hair Wax, the first version that they launched, to style my medium length hair. To be honest, it was a pathetic product. Next thing, I was on the lookout for a something with a stronger hold. Again, after a little research I ended up purchasing a product called 'Kocaine Klay Hair Wax'. The reason I chose this product was that I wanted something natural or with as little chemicals as possible as I intended to use it daily. According to the YouTube reviews, this was a natural product and I ended up buying it. The product was decent. Not great but not completely bad either.The only big issue I faced with it was that it couldn't be washed away with plain water and needed shampooing everytime. I used it for a good 7 months, until I came upon a YouTube video that claimed that this product is fake. The reason provided was that it had no licensing no. or batch no. through which the government authorities could verify the claims made by the manufacturer. And then, I happened  to notice this new product by 'UrbanGabru' which was actually a new and improved version of the actual UrbanGabru Hair Wax. The YouTube response to this product was quite positive and the one main thing that attracted me was that it could be washed away with just water.

PART 2: THE REVIEW!
It's 11pm right now as I'm typing this. I haven't washed my hair for almost 3 days(reasons I can't disclose here) and it's oily as hell. The first thing I gotta do is to shampoo and wash my hair as it must have accumulated a lot of dirt and oil. But tonight is not the time as it's too cold and I'm too lazy to go to the bathroom again. So I'll stop typing here and show you guys a picture of my hair as it is right now. The purpose of this picture is to tell you how much my hair can be transformed after applying the wax. Ugly selfie time. Duh.

NOTICE THE 'CHAMPU' LOOK, ALSO I'M TIRED AS HELL😴

Okay, so its 3:18 pm the next day and I'm back after taking a shower and shampooing my hair and now they're nice and smooth with no oil, dirt or whatsoever. Let me show you a picture.

APPLICATION OF THE PRODUCT :

Hello all my lovely people!, welcome to my first post on this blog.

Today I'm gonna talk about probably one of the most favourite hangout spots of the people of Vasco, the St. Jacinto Island. I'm gonna tell you everything about the Do's and Don'ts when you visit this beautiful place, the best timing and the public transport facilities available to reach here and the nearby places you can go to grab a bite in case you hear your stomach growling.

Well, for people in Vasco, if it's a weekend and they just wanna get out of the house to get some fresh air, they have 3 main options, the Baina beach, which is just around 2-3 kms away from the heart of Vasco city. Next, there is the very famous Bogmalo beach, which is 8 kms away from the heart Vasco city and last but not the least, the very beautiful, St. Jacinto Island which is 6.2 kms away from the heart of Vasco city (lots of hearts here😁).

Before I get into the details, let me tell you, PLEASE READ THE DO'S AND DONT'S PART CAREFULLY!(ESPECIALLY THE DONT'S)

1.THE LOCATION 
The easiest way to reach the island is by taking the Vasco-Cortalim-Panjim route, i.e the NH366.

To make things more clear, click on the link below to get the exact location. Technology is a blessing isn't it!

2.THE FUN PART
Okay, now that you're here, what do you do?Sightseeing and photography are what mainly people come here for. Other than that, few people also take part in fishing activities.The beautiful surroundings make for some great pictures. Ditch the selfies and take some proper pictures of you and your loved ones with the blue skies and the water surrounding the island making for a beautiful background.During monsoons this place is even more beautiful with the rain clouds adding more drama.(Monsoons and Goa together are like the chai and pakodas combination).

The bridge that I was talking about has almost no traffic on it except for some few vehicles moving in and out of the island and the vehicles of the visitors parked on the sides. At night the lights that line up on both sides of the bridge add to the beauty of the place. A camera with good low light photography capabalities can get you some great shots here at night.

There is also the St. Jacinto church which has a beautiful architecture. I won't go into the details of the church, I'll do that maybe in another post. I'll let the pictures do the talking now.

Please forgive my average photography skills.These pictures do not do justice to the beauty of this place. You gotta visit the island to experience it.

3.FOOD :
There are two restaurants within the premises of the island , 'Bridge and Tunnel,The Cocktail Bar' and 'Seagull Bar and Restaurant', as per Google Maps. Of the two I've personally seen Bridge and Tunnel while I have no clue about Seagull Bar and Restaurant. Probably Seagull Bar and Restaurant has been started just recently as I couldn't find any pictures or ratings on Google.

'Bridge and Tunnel,The Cocktail Bar' seems to be quite popular with a rating of  4.1/5 as of today . I haven't personally been to the restaurant but it looked quite classy from outside.

 Locations of both the restaurants are provided below:

Other nearby restaurants are 'Shirodkars Bar N Restaurant' and 'Sheela Bar & Restaurant'
Both of these restaurants are within 500 mts from the island once you cross the bridge and get onto the highway, going  towards Panjim, almost next to each other on the right side of the highway.

Shirodkars Bar N Restaurant has a rating of 3.6/5 as of today.
