Review: BAUHN foldable Bluetooth keyboard pink/silver

A quick review of another attack item from Aldi  What's really cool about these foldable keyboards is that they have four color options!  It magnet shuts close but it doesn't have magnets on the other side to make it stay open so you have to use it on a flat surface.  It has a hard time connecting/staying connected with cell phones, but it works fine with my Linux mint laptop. I initially bought it to see if it would connect with my KiaOS flip phone and unfortunately it didn't, but I'm going to keep it because it connects to my laptop. For it to connect to my Samsung Android, I have to unpair it and repair it and do the connection settings every time. I can't suggest buying this, But if you want something cheap for your laptop that comes in different colors, go for it.

Aldi BAUHN WATERPROOF BLUETOOTH SPEAKER

At almost $30 I would say that this is a very impressive speaker! It's very loud indoors. I haven't tried an outdoors yet.  It's heavy for a speaker but lightweight and portable to carry around. The Bluetooth connected to my phone seamlessly. I don't know about hours of playtime, but I have learned that if you're not playing music it times out in about 5 minutes.  It has three light modes. Fast flash, slow flash, and off. The two flash settings are both rhythmic, which I love!  The sound comes out impressively clear and the microphone function picks up my voice across a small room - for when I'm audio dictating and I forget to turn off the speaker.  It was available in three colors at the location I picked it up from: black, gray, and pale blue.  I was impressed with everything right out of the box: The shape, the weight, the lights, and how loud it gets!  It has USB-C charging! It came with 80% charge, which is nice! Not a whole lot to say. Sup...
