ELIZABETH ARDEN CERAMIDE Lift AND firm DAY LOTION

Light and oil- free, it infuses your skin with lipids for a youth- restoring boost.

Samsung’’ s been “exploding”p g in the headlines for all the wrong reasons lately. So let’s veer off a bit because they are still a formidable force to be reckoned with.

And they’ve got a neat package here with the Gear Icon X, a completely wireless pair of headphones, meaning you won’t have to deal with those attimes irritating cables.

Out of the box, you’ll find the lovely pair inside a cylindrical case, which perfectly fits into your pocket. The case also serves as a charging station, with each bud having its own dock. LEDS indicate whether it’s powering up or not. Going back to the design, it’s so simple but appealing — though I do feel that Samsung should’ve done something to shrink it a tad more.

Now you may be wondering — without the inline control panel we’ve been used to, how the hell do you control these things without those wires? Simple: see the area inside the coloured circle on the buds? It’s a touch- sensitive zone, and this is where you’ll be able to doodle around with your device: tap once to play a track, tap twice to answer/ end a call or skip a track forward, tap thrice to skip a track forward, swipe up or down for volume, or tap and hold to listen to menus. Fans of wired headsets — like me — will have a good time here.
