KuaiFit K Sport Headphones With In-Ear Personal Trainer - Wrap-Up Review

A couple of weeks ago, I did an unboxing and initial impressions post about the KuaiFit K Sport Headphones on my Morning Dew blog . I’ve been using them for a couple of weeks and tried the companion training app for Android, and I’m ready to talk about my impression of the product. As I mentioned in my previous review the K Sport Headphones launched as a Kickstarter campaign last month. The campaign is now fully funded and has some early bird rewards still available. There are currently only 12 days left to join and get a pair for yourself. I’ve really enjoyed using the headphones over the last few weeks.

Here are a few useful commands to get you started.

Microsoft Teams Tip #1 - Enable Developer Preview Builds

Image
Welcome to the first Microsoft Teams Tip! This tip is a simple one, but it can provide the Teams dev team with early insight on the latest fixes and features coming to Teams. If you enable Developer Preview in your Teams client, your client will automatically download these preview builds as they become available. Here's how to enable it. In the lower-left corner of MS Teams, click on your profile picture. On the menu that opens, select "About". If "Developer Preview" is not checked, click it to select it. That's it! You will now receive early preview builds of Teams. Hint: If Developer Preview is not available in the About menu, it may be disabled by your organization. My company has them disabled. Enjoy and be sure to provide feedback to the Teams team! Follow them on Twitter at @MicrosoftTeams . del.icio.us Tags: ms teams , teams tips , preview builds
