KATLEGO MABOE is about as close as it gets to beng a household name. His favourite gadget? The Samsung AKG earbuds that came with his Samsung Galaxy S8. (AKG’S parent company Harman is now owned by Samsung.) What makes you love these particular headphones so much? I travel frequently, so being able to whip them out easily to listen to my favourites songs while waiting on a delayed flight is super convenient. The sound quality is amazing, as well. How long have you had these headphones? I have only had them for few months, but I really love them. Who are your favourite artists you listen to on your headphones? John Legend, Bruno Mars and Cassper Nyovest. What edge do these particular headphones have over others you might have tried in the past? The fit in my ears is snug and comfortabl­e. The sound is superb and allows me to enjoy all the elements of the music production, while completely blocking out background noise. You’re a very busy man and always travelling. How does this gadget help you with your work? While travelling, I watch a lot of movies and series on the plane. Having headphones with great sound can help isolate you from the environmen­t. This makes the journey so much more enjoyable. Would you consider wireless headphones? No I wouldn’t. I tend to misplace small things like earbuds very easily, so I’d definitely lose them within a week.
