Review on ZIHYO Computer Bluetooth Microphone Controller by Heather Collins

Everyone's life has been transformed by working from home during Covid. And these changes have drawn attention to the home workspace, which for most office workers is their computer and a limited desktop. Therefore, any item that improves the quality of life and is glued to the table 10 hours a day is a great gift. It's really difficult for computer speakers to change the world for the better in a very crowded space with a lot of competition and to really innovate to improve the user experience. I'm here to say that ZiHYO ZY CS001 computer speakers have cracked the code with a wonderful offer. If you're like me, you have headphones that are used for video conferencing. But you also have a phone that also needs headphones for long calls. Finally, if you're not stuck on all those calls, you might want to enjoy music through your speakers or headphones. The ZY CS001 comes with the absolute BEST small (1.5" x 2.5") touch sound control panel - their touch controller. is an absolutely wonderful device that drives a great set of tiny, beautiful desktop speakers in an aluminum chassis with two passively-driven bass ports for great, consistent desktop sound. They even have an adjustable equalizer for movies/music/games. But here's how to use it and why it's so good. 1) You connect your PC's audio to the speakers controlled by the Bluetooth touch controller 3) You can connect a third device, e.g. a music player, to the touch controller. I connected an additional laptop (I already had a cable for this) 4) Optionally, you can connect a headset to the touch controller (to replace the speakers for sound). Now you can switch from PC to phone, to an additional device (2nd PC, music player, etc.) with just a touch of the touch controller - simple, convenient, fast, including volume and mute/pause. All this in one place, all at your fingertips! No more fiddling with different headsets for different devices or multiple sets of speakers etc. or fiddling with an onscreen app to find MUTE so you can take the call! And you can answer/reject/hang up with the touch controller! No need to juggle your phone, unplug your charger to plug in your headset - just leave it charging and the Bluetooth and ZY CS001 will connect by themselves! I leave my Pixel 3 in the wireless charging station. Call or stream music like TuneIn, Pandora, iTunes. PERFECT! The touch controller has excellent visual LED indicators so you know exactly what's connected. One last note, if you have a wireless headset don't worry, for about $10 at Revain you can buy a small device that plugs into a touch controller and allows you to use your good bluetooth headsets connect to. Here's another smart feature that's garnering a lot of attention. Details in ZY CS001. The volume control moves up in 20 noticeable steps. The DOWN volume, when pressed and held, quickly decreases - because like most of us, sometimes the sound accidentally gets really loud and just needs a quick mute - which it does. Like a telepath. I'm reluctant to give up my desk space, but the ZY CS001 Touch Controller speakers are my new darling!
