1 - iPhone Air Pixiu: Demand more and be happier

DIY: iPhone Air Pixiu: cover the USB port with a steel button

I have been looking for a way to cover the USB-C port on the iPhone Air to make it more perfect and for the past few months I have been completely using the iPhone Air without the USB-C port. Obviously, it doesn't affect my great experience with the iPhone Air and it proves that Apple can completely remove the USB-C port on the iPhone Air, but they are not strong enough, they have to follow Europe's USB-C general charging port regulations so they don't make the iPhone Air without a port. This shows you that the general USB-C port regulation is convenient, but not good, it prevents better products.

Completing the USB-C port cover with a piece of metal delicately crafted by Quy Stuff personally satisfies me a lot because I like sophisticated craftsmanship and like to implement new ideas.

2 - Refined cafe air conditioning system: Suitability is more important than new technology

Among the cooling systems or making the general air comfortable that I often have to deal with, this is my second most satisfied system after the super giant Macro Air fan with a diameter of 4.8m that you see at Delicate Cafe 3.0 (NKKN) or 4.0 (BHTQ). I chose a system that includes 5Hp, non-inverter air conditioners and a heater with 2 cooling fans instead of 1.

This system has made the event space at Delicate Cafe cool whether it is 50 people, 80 people or 100 people. Sometimes technologies like Inverter are not necessarily suitable even though they are newer and have more interesting things. I chose the simplest and most suitable system.

The two-fan factor is also important to ensure the machine operates more efficiently than a one-fan system.

3 - Rearrange the LED screen to a different ratio, looking more modern and divine: Divine screen thanks to the new ratio

When moving to the new cafe, I still used the old LED screen system but chose a different ratio instead of the old 16:9 ratio. As a result, in the new space it looks more modern and many people wonder if they bought a new screen. Sometimes just a change in appearance can change everything.

4 - Amplifier Devialet Astra: Listen to better music, better UX, more applicable technology

Try on the Devialet Astra Opera National De Paris Pair

More than 20 years ago, I also went through Japanese domestic amplifiers, then stopped at the Denon 1500 RII with Tanoy Revolution speakers. Then recently when I moved to a new house, I returned to my old hobby with 2 generations of Thrax Ares with Wilson Benesch ACT One speakers. Basically, I like simple, all-in-one amplifiers. This year Devialet launched Astra and I had the opportunity to try it in the experience topic. I was completely convinced by Devialet Astra because of its simplicity of use, look, applied technology and sound to my liking.

Now when I want to listen to music, I just turn the volume remote knob and the amplifier automatically turns on and I play the music. When leaving the house, you just need to press pause and after a while the amplifier will automatically turn off.

My speakers have already been measured by Devialet in their studio, so when attached to the Astra, it automatically knows which configuration is most suitable, so it maximizes the speaker's capabilities. The sound is clearer, more coherent, the bass is deeper, firmer... completely superior to the previous two generations of Thrax Ares.

You can learn more about the SAM technology that Devialet uses on this Astra to see how cool it is.

5 - Lumias LSD-350S automatic hand soap dispenser: convenient and clean

Automatic foaming soap dispenser: remember to choose the right type of soap

This bottle was given to me by the girls in Hop Long when I made Delicate Cafe 5.0. However, it is more suitable for use at home than in public places because the battery lasts for a few months at home and a few days in public places.

I really like the automatic soap dispenser and remember more than 10 years ago buying a similar one from Simple Human for Delicate cafe but at that time there was no specialized soap to use for it so I couldn't use it.

Now it is easy to buy specialized soap for this type of automatic, so I really enjoy using it. I bought one to keep at home, near the touch faucet on the sink and it's perfect. I wash my hands several times a day, so having a dispenser that automatically dispenses soap when I put my hand in without touching the dispenser is nothing. Clean, modern. The faucet at my sink also has a sensor to automatically let water flow out without needing to touch it.

6 - iPhone Air: A genuine and wonderful iPhone

Review of iPhone Air, a real iPhone

After many years of chewing on the square iPhone design, the 3-eye camera cluster and going down from steel > titanium > aluminum, Apple also released a completely new iPhone and it is truly the iPhone that Steve Jobs previously wanted for an iPhone in particular or for an Apple product in general. It is simplicity, not many features, not flashy, not redundant...

Although people are now hypnotized, instead of jumping headfirst into Pro Max, I chose Air because it is so great because it is beautiful, thin, light, has moderate features, reduces the time spent tapping the phone, saving time for other things that are more fun, more life.

7 - Razer keyboard mouse set and leather accessories for it: convenient and good experience

Experience the keyboard and mouse duo for 4 devices

I was given the Razer Joro portable keyboard and I am satisfied with it. Of course, it can't be compared to the mechanical keyboards I'm using, Keycult and Austin, but when it comes to mobility, it's much better than the Apple Magic Keyboard I'm using. I bought another Razer mouse and these two items can be connected to one receiver.

Now when using any device from MacBook, iPad, Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra or even a phone, I just need to connect that USB receiver and the keyboard and mouse will automatically be connected to that device, comfortable to use, no need for complicated and laggy bluetooth pairing.

And that set was even better when I made it with a leather cover to protect it, a wrist rest and a mouse pad made of leather of the same color, sewn with the same thread, with a uniform rounded corner design... The leather was made by Khacten.com and was made to my liking so it was absolutely perfect.

I took this set to CES for 3 weeks to work instead of bringing a mechanical keyboard like every year.

8 - TW Bose QC Ultra Earbuds 2: TW headphones are comfortable to wear, good music

Experience Bose QC Ultra Earbuds 2: comfortable listening, strong and natural sound isolation, good sound

After many years of using AirPods Pro and trying many different TW headphones, the Bose QC Ultra Earbuds Gen 2 really feel more comfortable, softer, and have better sound. It has been many years since other companies surpassed Apple in this segment. Although the sales volume may not be equal to Apple's, there are better products.

If you like TW headphones that are soundproof, comfortable to wear, and have good sound in the price range of 5 to 6 million, this is the headphone worth choosing.

9 - Nikon ZR - Personal professional camcorder

Nikon ZR is so good, like a revolution in personal filming experience

Last year Nikon and RED sued each other in court for copyright infringement. Nikon then bought RED and Nikon ZR was the first product from this relationship. I bought the ZR to replace the Z8 + external monitor I'm using at home. Now my system is simpler, more efficient, and more beautiful.

Unlike all video cameras sold on the market, the Nikon ZR is a video camera with photography features. The button system is streamlined, the touch control system and the machine's response are very fast and strong.

10 - Sony RX1R Mark III: The most powerful compact camera and the best image files today

Sit down and talk with Dan Anh about 4 revolutionary cameras of 2025

I need a compact but high-performance camera to take with me and take photos of life and events. After I stopped using the 27mm Fujifilm

The Sony RX1R3 is exactly the camera I've always needed because it's extremely compact and light while performing very high and the quality of the lens and sensor is very high, the image outputs a lot of information so post-production is done. It's been a long time since I took a photo with a compact camera with such good file quality.

More than 10 years ago, I also used this Sony line, the RX1 and RX1R, so now I consider it a long-term upgrade.

The camera is more compact and lighter so I can carry more with me and take more photos. Limit taking photos with smartphones.

11 - ifi GO Bar Kensei + Sennheiser HD660S2: a duo to listen to good music anywhere

iFi Go Bar Kensei: the first portable USB DAC with K2HD

Review of Sennheiser HD660s - Clear, strong sound, the better the amplifier, the better the sound

I have had many sets of high-quality music headphones, but when I tried this set, I was very satisfied with the comfort and portability and of course the sound quality it brings. In the box of Sennheiser HD660S2, there is a Balance 4.4 head cable available, so those with 4.4 dac will better exploit its capabilities.

12 - Narwal Flow - Robot vacuum cleaner: clean cleaner and move smarter

Experience Narwal Flow: smart cleaning strategy, highly efficient conveyor rag

I started trying out robot vacuum cleaners about 10 years ago with iRobot, but in the past 6 years, Chinese robot companies have begun to dominate the market with technologies that are constantly being applied. Cleaning the house starts with Roborock's vibrating rags, then rotating rags, then Roborock first equipped with rolling rags for high efficiency.

The ultimate goal of a robot vacuum cleaner is to bring the highest vacuuming and mopping efficiency, that is, to make the floor the cleanest. For many years, companies followed gravity and were concerned with moving evenly throughout the areas that robots were assigned to clean. Narwal Flow goes in a different direction, focusing on cleaning dirtier areas before cleaning the entire floor.

The AI ​​sensor and camera system helps Narwal Flow see special stains and from there solve stains and dirty areas before cleaning the entire house.

Narwal Flow is also equipped with a mop that offers both the advantages of a spin mop and a roller mop and as a result is more effective at cleaning stains than either of the previous solutions. Firstly, the contact area of ​​the rag on the floor of Narwal Flow is more, reaching the level of a rotating rag while a roller rag is much less so it is missed. Next, the mop on Narwal Flow has better pressure on the floor and wipes harder because the direction of rotation is opposite to the direction of movement of the robot. And finally, the rag is continuously washed while it cleans the house, so the rag is cleaner and has more water, leading to better final results.

13 - ASUS ProArt PA32QCV monitor: high resolution, very high brightness

Experience ASUS ProArt PA32QCV - 6K screen for professional needs

5 years since Apple sold the XDR Pro screen, there has been another 32" 6K screen sold. It meets the needs of those who want a large screen with Retina resolution. I switched from a Samsung 27" 5K screen to an ASUS 32: 6K and it is the only 32" on the market with a price under 40 million that has the same resolution as Apple's 120 million screen.

One strange thing when I use the ASUS ProArt PA32QCV screen is that the brightness adjustment menu is not calculated by 100% but by the number of bright nits. Just adjust it to 300 or 400 and it will be much brighter than other screens. Usually I only use 300.

When I learned more, many parties measured the real brightness of the ASUS ProArt PA32QCV screen to be much brighter than the published figure. According to numbers, ASUS ProArt PA32QCV has the highest full-frame brightness of 400 nits and peak brightness of 600 nits.

14 - Honor Magic V5: a folding phone with a great experience

Tinhtelookback: Honor Magic V5 is the first Chinese folding phone that cares about experience

HONOR Magic V5 offers a great overall experience thanks to a rare balance between design, display, performance, battery, camera and AI. The device is extremely thin and light but still feels firm in the hand, the frame is curved smoothly, the screen ratio is similar to a bar phone so it is very natural for daily use, and when opened, it has a large space like a mini tablet to watch movies and read content that is much more enjoyable for the eyes.

Two LTPO OLED screens with high brightness, 120 Hz refresh rate and 4,320 Hz PWM help display smoothly, reducing eye strain, especially when taking advantage of split-window, triple-window multitasking, drag-and-drop content for work. The 5,280 mAh battery capacity in the slim body is a big plus, enough to satisfy a day of comfortable use, and comes with fast wired and wireless charging for an uninterrupted experience.

Regarding the camera, the cluster of 3 high-resolution rear lenses provides full 2x–3x zoom images, plus a 64 MP telephoto that supports impressive telephoto shooting, while the MagicOS operating system deeply integrates AI features, from Gemini assistant, translation, smart notes to AI counterfeit detection, making the Magic V5 a folding device that is not only beautiful but also truly useful and modern.

15 - Camera Phone with the best photos - Xiaomi 15 Ultra

Review Xiaomi 15 Ultra: beautiful device, good camera, zoom without thinking

Although we have seen many quality camera phone models in 2025 (such as vivo X200 Ultra, OPPO Find Besides the subjective reason that I like the Leica brand and the image quality from Xiaomi 15 Ultra, other objective factors can include:

The most effective is the main camera with a large 1" sensor, specifically the Xiaomi 15 Ultra using the Sony LYT-900 sensor. Next is the Leica-style photo effect that is applied evenly across different focal lengths and produces beautiful, emotional images. You can shoot at any focal length on the photography app without worrying about the actual focal length and color differences.

The back design of the product inherits the classic gray-black tone of Leica cameras, somewhat inspiring users.

16 - Jura Z10 automatic coffee maker

Unbox Jura Z10: high-end automatic coffee maker

There is never a morning when I wake up at home without drinking a cup of coffee. Thank you Jura Z10 for successfully completing its task, it only takes about 1 minute to have instant coffee. The great point of Jura Z10 is that Barista coffee and coldbrew coffee are two dishes that give the feeling of drinking like hot Americano and iced Americano, but the quality of the coffee is guaranteed to be even and the taste is no less delicious than the cups of coffee I drink at the best shops in Vietnam like Cafe Tinh Te shay everryhalf.

The machine is made in Switzerland so every detail is very sophisticated, beautiful, and of high quality. The water filter is equipped with RFID short-range wireless connection technology to know the duration of use and notify when it needs to be replaced. The large 2.4 liter water tank and medium coffee tray of 280 grams are reasonable sizes for a machine for home use.

17 - Amazon EchoShow 21: 21" digital picture frame, TV and AI virtual assistant

Hands on Amazon Echo Show 21: big screen frame, TV and AI

I still like cameras and taking pictures, so a device to display pictures is necessary. Amazon Echoshow 21 is the largest automatic photo display device you can buy. The image just needs to be placed on Amazon Photos and then you can let it display certain images, according to any criteria you want. Currently, other automatic display screens are only Facebook Portal, Google Nest Hub, iPhone wallpapers are all small in size.

In addition, Echoshow 21 is also a TV so you can watch stations on the internet, content viewing services such as Apple TV, Netflix...

Echoshow 21 is a new product from Amazon, so it is also integrated with Amazon's AI Alexa Plus chatbot, so I often use it to ask for more information when necessary.

18 - CyberVent fresh air filtration and supply system at Exquisite Cafe

Why choose to install the CyberVent system for Cafe Tinhte 5.0?

I've liked this system for a long time but don't have enough conditions to install it. By the way, when making Delicate Cafe 5.0, I also installed this system to help keep the air in the cafe's space always clean and fresh, especially when technology events are held here.

In the past few months, there have been many technology events taking place at Cafe Delicate with the number of 50 people, 80 people or even 100 people. The system has completed the task of providing fresh air and removing CO2 from the space, making everyone in the space always feel clean, comfortable, not stuffy, not stuffy...

Philips SlimBalance LED light is 9m long without joints, can be up to 40m long

By using light dissipation material in rolls instead of bars, Philips can make LED lights up to several tens of meters long without visible seams. The lamp I mounted in Cafe Delicate 5.0 with a 9-meter array is connected by 3 3-meter lights and a 9-meter-long light diffuser, so when you look at it, you won't see such a connection point, you can see it as a 9-meter long light.

20 - Okamura office mobile battery

Experience Okamura OC Portable Battery, worth 100 million for 4 batteries + charging base

I use it

OC Portable Batteryin Delicate 5.0 cafe, however, Okamura's purpose of producing it is for office use. In modern, beautiful, luxurious, high-end offices, it is impossible to leave the power cord hanging around, it looks very offensive, so OC Portable Battery is the solution to ensure employees still work effectively, the office remains neat, charging beautifully both when in use and when plugged in.

The price of 100 million for a set of 4 batteries may sound like a lot, but if you are ever looking for sophistication in space, simplicity in space while still keeping the job done, there is no other solution. Not to mention its great features, its battery capacity is very real, not virtual like some charging stations which have very large numbers but in reality are not much.

The concept of mobile battery or mobile charger, backup battery, Powerbank is so popular. However, anyone who uses OC Portable Battery for the first time or is introduced to it by me will find it new and strange. That is a wonderful thing, demonstrating the ability to design a product that seems familiar but is very different, very sophisticated and convenient to use. You don't have to sacrifice UX to have good UI, not many companies can do that.

21 - iPhone Air portable battery

MagSafe battery for iPhone Air: 1% charge per minute, 69% charge for iPhone Air

Too little is not good, but too much is not necessarily good. The battery Apple makes for iPhone Air can be considered just enough for you when you need to charge your iPhone Air for some reason but it runs out of battery sooner than you want. It meets the thin and light requirements that iPhone Air users want, the capacity is just enough and the aesthetic and feeling when holding and using is extremely comfortable and wonderful. No other portable battery provides this feeling.

I tried fully charging the MagSafe Battery for the iPhone Air and completely discharging the iPhone Air's battery, then observed the charging process. Specifically, you will see the charging time at 1% of the battery per minute and this unit can charge 69% of the iPhone Air's battery. (Apple's information is that this charger can charge 65% of the iPhone Air's battery).

The wireless charging speed of this unit for the iPhone at the original Qi level is 15W and the charging speed that it can charge the iPhone Air according to Apple's information is 12W.

So if you use an iPhone Air but the battery is a bit lacking and the battery runs out in the afternoon, carrying a MagSafe battery for iPhone Air in your pocket is reasonable because it will charge the iPhone, which can help you use it until evening.

22 - Fishing chair and low desk for working

I bought a fishing chair to sit and play. However, on the trip home to Vuong's DIY team, I accidentally used it with Vuong's 32cm high table, it was almost made for each other. And I sit to work, not to play or fish.

I ordered a high-quality table made of hard wood with a height of 32cm to sit and try working. Many people in Delicate also tried sitting. Obviously this can be a simple set of desks and chairs for working in the house. Many times at home we don't want to sit high on the desk, dining table or don't want to sit on the bed or sofa, this is a simple, relaxing option, just sit and watch TV, type on the computer or do something...

23 - Earthworks Ethos Mic

I set up the camera angle, lighting, and sound at my desk like this

This year I made more Youtube videos so I found a mic to make the sound more pleasing to my ears. If you figure out what you like to do, find some good tools to use. So many people say I pretend to be a YouTube channel to play with toys.

I like two things, one is related to the sound quality or recording ability, suitable for making Podcast-style videos like I often do. I've tried many mics, and I like the sound of the Shure SM7B the best, and my second favorite is the sound of the Earthworks Ethos. However, the second part I lean more toward Earthworks Ethos is:

The design and finish of the Earthworks Ethos is completely superior to many other mics on the market. It is CNC from a block of aluminum and the design looks very strong and modern. Not to mention it also comes with an orbital head to attach to the arm or inside for extremely high quality.

24 - Zoom F3 audio recorder

In order for the mic to work well, I found a voice recorder. I chose the solution of recording the audio separately to a file, the video recorded to a separate file, and then the two would merge together when editing, rather than connecting the camera and audio recorder to the computer to limit noise or complicated control with software.

What I like about the Zoom F3 is its compact size, very high configuration sound file and affordable price. The price of the Zoom F3 is only about 300 USD and the audio file that can be recorded is 32bit float with a sampling rate of up to 192kbps. Of course, the Zoom F3 pulls the Earthworks Ethos comfortably. Actually, I would like a better one that exceeds my needs, but it's a bit expensive so I'll wait until 2026 to buy it.

25 - Aukey MagFusion 1X 25W Qi Wireless Charger

Experience Aukey MagFusion 1X: beautiful, luxurious and an improved charging experience with Qi2.2

First, talking about the Qi2.2 wireless charging standard, it is basically an upgrade to the Qi2 charging standard that has been popular for the past 3 years. This Qi2.2 will inherit the best of the previous generation, adding some strengths, most importantly, the standard charging capacity has been increased from 15W to 25W. With this charging speed, you will not need to buy an additional wire charger because this speed is not much different from wired charging and it will allow you to charge a smartphone, especially flagships, from 0% to 50% in just about 30 minutes.

Talking about the Aukey MagFusion 1x that I have on hand, it is a Qi2.2 wireless charging pad with the ability to charge up to 25W for both Android and iPhone, supporting MagSafe on iPhone. In addition, this product line has three colors: Frost White (frost white), Dark Gray (dark gray), Desert Gold (desert gold). The impressive point with MagFusion 1X is that the base is made from aluminum alloy with a sturdy, durable structure and a premium feel when used.

26 - Therabody Thermback LED: Summary of 4 ways to reduce back pain

Introducing Therabody Thermback LED: Combining 4 ways to reduce back pain into one belt full of technology

It is a back belt with vibration massage, heating, near infrared and far infrared LEDs. It has a rechargeable battery via USB-C port to perform features and control buttons on the belt as well as an app to control on the phone.

I researched and found that the features or therapies to help reduce back pain that Therabody equipped with the Thermback LED have been around for a long time, from decades to thousands of years. The difference is that they use new technology and integrate it into a back belt including:

Heat Therapy, Vibration Therapy, Far-Infrared Therapy, Near-Infrared LED Therapy

27 - Amazon Photos, Amazon Music

This year I started using Amazon's music listening and image storage service. I have been using Amazon Prime for a long time but am only now taking advantage of these two services. The reason I choose these services is as follows.

Regarding Amazon Photos, the reason is that I bought a 21" smart screen from Amazon, EchoShow 21. It has the ability to run images from Amazon Photos, so I just used this service. After installing the app and allowing it to automatically upload photos, I found it to be as simple and convenient as the service I've been using for more than 15 years, Flickr, so now I use both services. I'm afraid of losing photos, so I often use cloud storage services that specialize in photos like Flickr. and now adding Amazon Photos. Using Amazon Photos, images are also displayed randomly on the 21" screen, which is even better.

In the past, I often used Amazon Music to listen to some Podcasts because the Podcasts I listened to had no ads. Now that I listen to music, I find it good because the playlists are very true to my liking, without trying to persuade me to listen to other music like Apple Music. Higher resolution music is Apple Music. I still use Apple Music and other services. This year I also used Amazon Music and it is now my main music listening app on my computer or phone when I go out of the house.

28 - Davinci Resolve Studio film editing app

I have been doing this content making profession for nearly 20 years, but I don't care much about editing because someone else has done it for me. This year, I like to make these movies myself, so I chose a software to use. I chose Davinci Resolve Studio because it sells copies once for life, has hardware support and many other things... After I chose it, I found it is much superior to Final Cut and iMovie, the two software I have used to edit movies for more than 10 years.

The Delicate Team has now switched to using Davinci Resolve Studio and it's really great. But it looks too pro and I don't dare use it.

29 - Rayban Meta AI Glasses

Review of Rayban Meta AI glasses: beautiful filming, number 1 angle

Mark Zuckerberg poured hundreds of billions of dollars into the so-called Metaverse, but the result was a pair of fashionable glasses equipped with a camera, speaker, mic and connection... so now we have a camera and camera right on our eyes, corresponding to the number one viewing angle. However, the Rayban Meta's rotation angle is a 3:4 ratio vertical angle.

The image and sound quality from Rayban Meta glasses is good enough for those who want to create content to comfortably use it. Especially if you have to wear glasses every day, your glasses now have cameras.

Only 29 dishes, guys. Have fun guys.
