Our 7 favorite Android keyboard apps for quick typing on the go

Installing a keyboard app is easy to forget after performing all the essential steps after setting up your new Android phone, but it can be the most impactful. While your phone’s preinstalled keyboard app works fine in most cases, features included in other apps can impact how you type.

These are the best keyboard apps available on the Play Store. They work on all Android phones, from the best budget devices to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Fold 4. So whether you switched to a new device or are looking for a new app to spice up your current phone, this roundup will help you find the perfect keyboard app.

Gboard

2 Images

Gboard is installed on many Android phones by default, but for those who don’t have it (or for iOS users), it’s the best keyboard app available. It has many valuable features, from integrated Google Translate to quirky Emoji Kitchen mashups. If you’re looking for a no-nonsense keyboard app with plenty of power under the hood, Gboard should be your first choice.

Gboard supports voice, swipe, and handwriting input. It’s perfect if you use an Android phone with stylus support, like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4. But some people might find its wealth of features unnecessary, as they take up valuable screen space.

Swiftkey

2 Images

For those who enjoy Gboard’s functionality but want a change, the Microsoft Swiftkey keyboard is a perfect alternative. It’s designed to learn how you type and picks up slang and nicknames so that it won’t badger you with constant autocorrections. It takes some time to understand your writing, but it’s an ideal choice if you constantly deny autocorrect suggestions.

Beyond this, Swiftkey has everything you would expect from a modern keyboard. It has Emoji and GIF search, multiple themes, and support for more than 700 languages. Unlike Gboard, its translation tools aren’t powered by Google Translate but are still adequate.

Grammarly

2 Images

Grammarly is one of the best Google Chrome extensions, and its keyboard app is just as valuable. Grammarly checks your writing anywhere you type through its keyboard app, from Facebook posts to outreach emails. While it’s handy for catching odd spelling errors, its writing suggestions help you spruce up your sentences as you type.

But beyond its writing tools, the Grammarly keyboard is a little short on features. It has an emoji keyboard, but that’s about it. If you ignore most of Gboard’s features and don’t care about GIFs, Grammarly might be the perfect keyboard for you. Even if you don’t have Grammarly Premium, it offers more writing advice than the other apps on this list.

Typewise

2 Images

The most unconventional keyboard on this list, Typewise, has an in-built game to teach you how to use the keyboard. It has some significant differences from most keyboard apps, notably its hexagonal keys and non-QWERTY layout.

Typewise requires a couple of weeks at minimum to use effectively. Until then, you’ll make a lot of typos. However, once you’ve trained your thumbs, you may find this the most comfortable keyboard you’ve ever used. It’s not for everyone, but it can be a lifesaver if you do a lot of typing on your phone. It’s also helpful if you have a phone with a large screen, like the Google Pixel 7 Pro.

Simple Keyboard

2 Images

Simple Keyboard doesn’t have GIFs, emojis, or swipe typing. You can customize a few things, like the theme and height, but this keyboard is for minimalists. Get this if you want a keyboard that doesn’t bother you with a raft of unnecessary features. Simple Keyboard is part of the Simple App family, some of the best apps available on Android. If you enjoy Simple Keyboard’s minimalist theme, try out the rest.

OpenBoard

2 Images

Open source apps are a great way to improve your privacy, and OpenBoard is the best open source keyboard app. While it lacks some features commonly found on most keyboard apps, many people will find its straightforward design appealing. It doesn’t have swipe-typing, but the space-bar trackpad is handy, and the app is constantly updated with new features.

Fonts Keyboard

2 Images

Sometimes you want to have fun, and that’s where Fonts Keyboard comes in. It’s not as obnoxious as the garish emoji-heavy keyboards that litter the Play Store, but it’s sillier than the other apps on this list. Switching between fonts through a swipeable menu allows you to change in seconds. It’s a little gimmicky and doesn’t offer nearly as many features as it should, but it’s a fun change from the serious apps. Compatibility isn’t perfect, so you may notice errors when an app encounters an unknown symbol. However, for the most part, it works without issue.

Get the keyboard that works best for you

Whether you’re looking for a simplistic or feature-packed keyboard app, there is one that suits you best. Once you’ve chosen your favorite, try one of the best Android launchers to change your Android experience completely.

Your phone is a computing marvel—until you need to type anything longer than a sentence on it. Typing with your thumbs (or even swipe typing) for long stretches becomes a screen-slipping nightmare, because tryping on a scrn is not a gr8 exprnce.

This pain can be lessened by adding a small keyboard to your mobile kit. These devices are cheap, portable, and make typing on the hoof a far more pleasant experience. Pair one of these tiny keyboards with Google Docs or the mobile version of Microsoft Word, and you’ve got a desktop word-processing experience in your pocket.

I looked at five keyboards, and I stuck with foldable models that collapse down to about the same size as a smartphone. I also only tested models that work with both Android and iOS devices. My top pick was the Arteck HB066 Bluetooth Keyboard ($27 at Amazon), a small keyboard that combines a nice foldable design with a consistent key size and a layout that will immediately feel comfortable. None of these choices are as comfortable to use as a full-size keyboard, though, so be prepared to compromise some luxury in the name of portability.

  For Touchpad Fans

  Jelly Comb Foldable Keyboard with Touchpad

  This keyboard from Jelly Comb (Rating: 6/10) is the only keyboard I looked at that includes a touchpad. It’s a neat little folding keyboard that folds down to about the same size as the Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ I used in my tests. It supports Bluetooth 3 and is compatible with Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac devices.

  While the design is neat, it has some serious downsides. The wide hinges mean that some of the keys are much smaller than others: The t and v, for instance, are half the size of other keys; and it is easy to hit the bulge of the hinge rather than the keys next to it. The other keys are decently sized and have a pleasant feel with a good amount of vertical travel. The touchpad is also smaller than most laptop touchpads, which makes precise maneuvering more difficult. Plus, while the presence of the touchpad is a plus for Windows devices, it’s superfluous for Android users. For Apple users, the appalling mouse support in iOS 13 means the touchpad doesn’t really add much to the iPhone or iPad.

  So, the Jelly Comb keyboard might appeal to those using Windows devices, or those spending a lot of time remotely controlling a desktop computer from a phone. But if you’re looking to type comfortably, this one serves up too much wasted space.

  For Multi-Device Jockeys

  Sounwill Foldable Keyboard

  This simple fold-out keyboard (Rating: 5/10) works well, but it has a few annoying quirks. While the keys are a good size and are well separated, the hinge down the middle of the keyboard causes problems, much like on the Jelly Comb. Again, some of the keys here are oddly shaped—the t key is three times the size of the y key, for instance. That made for an odd typing experience where I kept hitting the hinge rather than the y key. The Sounwill works with iOs, Android, and Windows devices, and you can switch between those device modes using a hot key combination.

  The keyboard automatically turns itself off when you close it, and it wakes up when you unfold it. However, it’s on the large size, even when it’s folded up. At 5.75 by 4 inches and just over half an inch thick, it’s bigger than most phones. A small phone stand for the phone is also included, but it feels fragile and doesn’t attach to the keyboard, so it could quickly break or go missing.

  For Comfort Seekers

  Arteck HB066 Bluetooth Keyboard

  The HB066 (Rating: 8/10, WIRED Recommends) is another three-panel design, where two side panels fold out from the center to form the keyboard surface. It’s on the smaller side; about the size of a typical smartphone when folded up. The letter keys are the same size as the Plugable’s keys, but here on the Arteck, the cursor keys are smaller and you don’t get a dedicated row of function keys along the top. That’s an acceptable compromise to make the keyboard more portable, and the rest of it is pretty comfortable to type on.

  Unlike some other folding keyboards, the zig-zagging design of the hinge fits around the keys, so all of the letter keys are the same size. That’s a big plus, as you don’t have to retrain your fingers to find and press the different-sized keys found on keyboards with straight hinges. You may remember the unique four-way folding mechanism in the Think Outside Stowaway, a keyboard that enjoyed a cult following back in the Palm Pilot era. The Arteck HB066 isn’t quite as elegant as that long-dead device, but it comes awfully close.

  For Mobile Novelists

  Plugable Bluetooth Keyboard

  The foldable keyboard from Plugable (Rating: 7/10) is the largest mode I tested, measuring about 6. 75 by 5 inches inside its fold-out case, and 11.5 by 4.75 inches fully expanded. That makes it somewhat larger than most phones—even a chonker like the Galaxy Note 10+. But on the upside, the case doubles as a nice stand for your phone or iPad, and the keyboard is comfortable to type on. The keys are well separated, although they don’t have much vertical travel: Think of a cheap laptop keyboard and not a fancy mechanical one. There is also a set of cursor keys that are larger than most, plus a row of dedicated function keys, which is a big plus for programmers or fans of keyboard shortcuts. The keyboard turns itself on when you fold out the two side panels, with three LEDs to indicate the battery level, the Bluetooth status, and if Caps Lock is on. It’s a good pick if you are planning on typing a lot or are looking to do some programming on the road, as the larger cursor keys and function keys will make scrolling through longer documents easier.

The keyboard on Android disappeared: what to do? — Articles

The keyboard on Android disappeared: what to do? — Articles | good deeds service

Reading will take: 13 min.

Views: 100 944

The evolution of mobile phones has led to an innovation that
10–15 years ago, one could not even dream: the ability to enter SMS text, messages in
messengers, notes directly from the screen. Not without trouble:
for example, after several weeks of uninterrupted use of the application for
input, you suddenly see that it no longer runs. Why doesn’t it show up
keyboard on Android and how to return it to its place, we will tell below.

Reasons

Good news for the smartphone owner: you can completely
exclude hardware causes of a malfunction that require an urgent trip to the service
center. If the screen or cables are damaged, it partially or completely disappears
image or the sensor stops responding to touch.

Are both features missing? So the keyboard is gone.
appear due to:

• input program failure;
• operating system errors.

You can fix these problems yourself without
turning to experts. How to restore the keyboard on an Android phone with the most
in simple ways, explained in the next section.

Solutions

Restart

The keyboard has stopped working recently and you have not yet
have you tried restarting the operating system? Do it now:

1. Press and hold the power button for 2-3 seconds.
2. In the menu that appears, choose to reboot or perform a full power cycle of the phone.

As a result, current system and background processes may
interfering with the operation of the keyboard will be stopped. After a fresh start, check
whether the ability to run the application has resumed.

Keyboard upgrade

By typing letters and numbers on the touch screen, you use
a separate program – it does not matter if it is installed by the manufacturer or by you.
To no longer wonder why the keyboard disappeared on Android, do not
forget to update the application in time: the new version will probably contain
fixes for the bugs that led to the current crashes.

You can update the application through the Google Play Market:

1. Start the client. It is installed on your smartphone by default, even if you are using unofficial firmware.
2. Go to My Apps & Games. The item is available in the side menu. Once here, check to see if there’s a new version for your on-screen keyboard and update it if it is.

Another way is to enter the name of the program you are using in
search bar and see if the developer has released a new release.

Rebooting the virtual keyboard

Sometimes, if the keyboard on Android disappeared, described above
actions to restore the program’s performance are not enough. With a big
the problem is most likely in the running application itself. Delete
it’s still too early – first try restarting:

1. Go to the system settings of your smartphone. The shortcut must be in the general list of applications or in the special folder “System”, System, and so on.
2. Open the Applications/All Applications section.
3. Find the on-screen keyboard you are using here and click on the title.
4. Select the Stop option for the program.

Now you can either start the program using the shortcut – or
restart your smartphone. When you turn it on again, the keyboard should
earn like before the problems.

Clearing the cache

Mobile applications during operation are created to speed up
response cache – a collection of files stored in the program directory or
system folder. Over time, this data becomes unnecessary, accumulates and
begin to interfere with the normal operation of the OS. If the virtual keyboard is missing
Android, do a full cache flush:

1. Is there more than one keyboard on your smartphone? Then go to the system settings and in the “Language and input” section, see which one you can not use now.
2. Remember the name and, having opened the “Applications / All applications” section, select the desired program, and in the subheading – the item “Memory / Erase data”.
3. Here you need a Clear Cache button. Click on it and confirm the action.

When cleaning is complete, restart your smartphone and
make sure the keyboard works again.

Selecting the default input method

Another reason why the keyboard does not open on
Android – installation on a smartphone of several applications for input. As a result
failure, the system cannot determine which program to use, and
launches none. To get rid of the problem, make a choice
on your own:

1. Turning again to the system settings, select “Language and input”. It can be located in the main menu or in the sections “Basic settings”, “Advanced” and others.
2. Go to the “Default Keyboard/Current Keyboard” sub-item here.
3. View the list of available options and tap the one you want.

In the future, in exactly the same way, you will be able to choose
other keyboards. To avoid new failures, we recommend stopping at
one or two options, and delete the others from memory.

Installing another keyboard

Tired of looking for an answer to the question of how to return the keyboard to
Android? Then just install a new one. Programs for typing and
the official Google store, and on various
there are plenty of specialized sites – choose the one you like and continue
use your smartphone comfortably.

Using the Google Play Market as an example, the process looks like this:

1. Open the official client and type a query in the search bar. It can be “Keyboard”, “Best Keyboard”, Keyboard and so on.
2. Browse the programs you like, choose and install the best one. When choosing, we advise you to focus on the average rating of users, the functionality provided by the developer, screenshots and videos of working with the application. Among the most popular options are Gboard, SwiftKey, Cheetah Keyboard, GO Keyboard, TouchPal. All of them allow not only typing, but also using emoji sets, attaching GIFs, and using voice typing.

Immediately after installation, you will be prompted to install a new
keyboard as the main one. Do this – and then, by running the application,
start setting up.

Troubleshooting conflicting programs

Remember exactly when the keyboard is not displayed
on Android? Remove or stop any third-party software installed after this date
applications accessing the typing program: voice engines,
emoji sets and others:

1. In system settings, go to the section
   “Apps/All apps”.
2. Locate and remove all of each of the programs
   which may affect the performance of the keyboard. For more convenience
   You can sort by date added.

When finished, we recommend that you restart your phone. If
the problem was incompatible software, you just
decided.

Reset to factory settings

If the keyboard on Android disappeared and none of the
the above methods does not help, perform a full reset of the smartphone to
factory condition:

• Navigate to the “General settings/Advanced settings” section in the system settings.

• Select “Backup & Reset/Reset”.

• Confirm that you want to restore your phone to
  original settings and wait for the reboot to complete.

Save to external media or
computer all important data, rewrite passwords, remember especially important
settings: during the reset, user data will be completely deleted.

That’s it. Now you can install the keyboard again and use it – do not forget to update the application in time and clear the cache. Good luck!

Braun Series 7 Electric Shaver Review: High-tech shaving

Verdict

With decent battery life, a relatively close shave and the ability to work well in either dry or wet conditions, the Braun Series 7 is a great all-round electric shaver that auto-adapts to hair length. It offers an impressively close shave, although I found it struggled with slightly longer hairs making it a better choice for those that shave more regularly.

Pros

• Adapts automatically
• Pop-out beard trimmer
• Fast charge

Cons

• Not so good at longer hairs

Key Features

• Battery lifeLasts up to 50 minutes on a single charge, but can be fast-charged in just five minutes to give enough power for one shave.

• TypeThis is a wet and dry electric shaver, so can be used in the shower.

Introduction

Sitting at the higher end of the firm’s extensive shaver range, which runs from the cheap and cheerful Series 1 all the way up to the super-premium Series 9 Pro, the Series 7 balances high-tech features with affordability.  

According to Braun, the Series 7 will deliver 24,000 cuts per minute alongside three shaving elements in a 360-degree adaptive head system. And the price? The shaver has an RRP of £269.99 but can be picked up from most online retailers for almost half that price. It’s currently listed on Amazon, for instance, for just £135. 

There are different versions of this product. All have the same body, as reviewed here, but you can buy the shaver with the SmartCare cleaning dock and with a beard trimmer if you need those features.

But is it really worth the price despite not being the brand’s top-performing shaver? Read on to find out how it stacks up in real life.

• Lightweight and premium-looking 
• Handy battery display in the handle 
• A triple-cut head system with a 360-degree swivel head for a closer shave
• Innovative beard-length auto-detection feature

Despite an all-plastic build, the Braun Series 7 has a premium and robust feel to it, although it’s light enough to move around the face with ease (weighing just 185g), which is especially handy if you like to take your time when shaving to ensure you’ve removed any stragglers.

Making this process all the more enjoyable is a rubberised grip around the body and rear of the shaver handle, which offers up a decent grip that feels comfortable.

You’ll also find an LED display on the handle of the Series 7, which is small but does the job of telling you how much battery life is left. It’ll also deliver cleaning reminders and the status of the travel lock (a feature that can be activated with a three-second press of the power button, so that the razor won’t turn on by itself in the bottom of your bag when on the go).  

Another notable feature is the Series 7’s triple-cut head system, which sports two foils on either side of a central trimmer. This is mounted on the device’s 360-degree swivel head and takes care of longer hairs while ensuring a closer shave.

Performance

• Close shave  
• Gets to hard-to-reach places
• Could be better on longer hairs
• 50 minutes battery life per charge 

As you’d expect from a grooming tool of this calibre (and price), the Braun Series 7 offers an impressively close shave. This is thanks to the dual act of its foil blades and middle cutter, which work together to clear away both short and long hairs.

The “360-degree adaptation” feature also helps in getting around the contours of the face, even in areas that are usually quite hard to reach. This, coupled with the super smart AutoSense technology (a beard-length auto-detection feature that senses your stubble or beard density and adapts the power setting accordingly as your shave away) makes for an easy and efficient shave as you don’t have to worry about going over and over already-shaven skin. Clever stuff!

My one complaint is that this isn’t the best shaver at dealing with longer hairs, so it’s best suited to those that shave regularly.

I loved that it can work wet or dry, and I’m big fan of the beard trimmer head that pops out of the back and adds more versatility.

As for battery life, the Series 7 takes about an hour to fully charge, which offers about 50 minutes of shaving time. You can also “quick charge” for five minutes to give the shaver enough of a boost for a single shave.

Latest deals

Should you buy it?

Lots of features, low price: You want a quality electric shaver with high-end features but without the luxury price tag.

You’ve got longer hairs: You let your stubble grow out and shave less frequently, as this won’t do a great job at catching longer hairs.

Final Thoughts

The Braun Series 7 offers a good set of clever, high-tech tools that work well and aren’t just there for the sake of it. It’s quick to charge, easy to use and it makes daily shaving a painless and efficient. A great all-rounder that won’t disappoint, unless you tend to let your hair grow between shaves in which case the Panasonic Series 900+ may be a better choice, otherwise check out our guide to the best electric shavers.

Braun Series 7 Review (360° Flex Models) 2023

Electric Shaver Review

Last Updated on April 21, 2023

Available @ Amazon

The Braun Series 7 electric shaver is getting close to the top of the range in electric shavers in terms of both functionality and cost, and of course, performance. It made it into our short list of the best Braun shavers recommended.

This review is for the Braun Series 7 flex head version from the Series 7 range.

How many Braun Series are there, and what do the Series and Generations mean? – I shall mention this for those that are unaware of the Series that Braun offers. The series begins with number one and ends with nine, although Braun, for some reason, does not have a series 2 or 4. The Series 9 (well–9 Pro now) that I have recently reviewed is at the top end of their shavers regarding functionality and costs, and then the Series 1 is at the lower end.

Each of the series over the years, including the Series 7 have seen improvement changes (known as generations) that show Braun is always trying to make their shavers better than the last models. Most of these improvements are great; however, like most companies, they make some changes that look more like cost-cutting motives than improvements (if I notice them, I point them out).

The Braun Series 7 Flex is a very different shaver compared with the previous 7 Series, and while some people feel improvements were made, others feel differently. The previous 7 Series without the flex head can still be purchased; however, for some reason, they are more expensive.

Here are the Series 7 Flex model numbers available.

Braun Series 7 Flex Head (model 70-N**** UK/EU or 70** USA)

UK/EU 70-N1200 s (+ trimmer), 70-N7200 cc (clean & charge station + trimmer), 70-B7850 cc‘ (clean & charge station + trimmer + attachments) are all the 360° Flex Head models.

USA 7020s (+ trimmer), 7025s (+ trimmer + trimmer attachments),7027s (+ trimmer + trimmer attachments + charging stand), 7075cc (+ trimmer + cleaning & charging station),7071cc (+ trimmer + trimmer attachments + cleaning & charging station).

Each number 70-***** (UK/EU) or 70** (USA) is the exact same shaver but each one will differ in accessories and clean & charge station.

Just to confuse consumers more, or at least us that review shavers for readers – Braun uses different model numbers for that same model in various countries alongside different numbers for the accessories included.

The various models within a series can get confusing, and they differ, which is why I have mentioned all those available within the Series 7 Flex Series. The main point is the model reviewed here (Braun Series 7 70-N7850cc) is the same as the others in terms of build, motor, and performance.

The Brand – The brand ‘Braun’ was founded a 100 years ago that created their first electric shaver during the 1950s. The German-based company (a subsidiary of Procter and Gamble) is known worldwide, and just about everyone looking to buy a foil electric shaver today will see a Braun shaver as a buying option.

Description & Features

This updated Braun Series 7 has had a major makeover. The ergonomic design is more user-friendly and less bulky, and the 360° Flex Head aims to work much better at shaving comfortably along the various contours of a user’s face.

Which model should I buy? If a buyer does not need or want the clean and charge station or accessories, then they can purchase the slightly cheaper model. A buyer doesn’t really save much when buying the models without attachments etc., and if there is a possibility of the attachments or cleaning & charging station being used, then it may be worth the extra bit of cash spent.

• AutoSense Technology – This enables the shaver to sense beard density and adjust the motor to the power that is required.
• Cutting Actions – The 7 Series offers 24’000 cutting actions per minute.
• 360° Flex Head – This is the big feature of the new 7 series. It has the ability to adapt and move with the various contours of the face and aims to make shaving tricky areas much easier. At the moment, it is only the Braun 7 series that offers this feature.
• Shaving Elements – This shaver has 3 flexible shaving elements/blades. Two of these are foils, and in the center there is a cutter that aims to cut hair that grows in various directions and lift up other hairs to be cut.
• Easy Click Attachments – The shaving head can be clipped on and off for changing the head or using the attachment trimmer. The beard trimmers must be attached to the precision trimmer.
• Wet & Dry (100% waterproof) – The Flex Head series is fully waterproof and can be used to shave either wet or dry. Users may shave with their favorite shaving, cream, soap or foam.
• CleanCare System – This system cleans and lubricates the cassette and charges the battery. The cleaning fluid requires replacement cartridges that will need to be replaced every 3 months (longevity depends on use).
• Charging and Battery – A fully charged battery takes up to an hour to be charged, although users can give the shaver a quick 5 minute charge for 1 or 2 shaves. A full charge will give users about 50 minutes of cordless shaving time.
• Light Indicators – A cleaning light will indicate after using the shaver. A red cord indicator comes on when a user tries to use the shaver when it is plugged in, and another red padlock indicator comes on after holding the button (also bleeps) for a few seconds to activate the travel safety switch. There is also a battery life and foil cassette indicator (lets a user know when to replace – every 18 months).
• Travel Safety Lock – The on/off button can be held to lock the shaver and unlock it when a person takes it on their travels.
• Battery & Foil Checker – This generation of the Series 7 has an extra button underneath the power on/off button. When pressed, it indicates the battery charge and if the foil cassette needs replacing without switching the shaver on.
• Warranty – Braun offers a standard 2 years warranty on shavers. If bought directly from Braun a buyer may get an extra 1 year, but it’s just a lot more expensive to buy from them and not worth it at twice the price.

How well does the Braun Series 7 360° Flex Head perform and Shave?

After using, testing, and reviewing the Series 9 not so long ago and having previous experience with the older 2nd generation of Series 7 shavers, I was intrigued to see how the Flex Head 3rd generation of Series 7 shaver would perform.

As per usual, I spent about a month using this shaver. I tried it out on 3+ days of beard growth, 1 – 2 days dry and wet (also with shaving cream), and I tested how it would head shave, although I know it is not designed for head shaving.

This shaver has consistently provided a smooth shave for an electric shaver and was the best out of many electric shavers for shaving the sideburns and chin area without leaving patches. The ease of shaving and not leaving patches is most certainly due to the Flex Head, as the Series 9 and the older generation of Series 7 could not perform as well in these areas.

Shaving with this new generation felt very much like holding the Series 5 or 6. The body is much more slimline and feels better to hold than the last series.

How was shaving daily or every 2 days? – The first, second, and third day was the best time to use this shaver, and the absolute best personally was every 2 days.

I never like to shave with any shaver or razor daily. It’s gonna cause me irritation!

How was shaving with 3 or more days growth? Three days was the limit for me. After three days, it just took too many shaving strokes, which is the case with all other electric shavers I have used.

Does it head shave very well? I know the Series 7 is not designed for head shaving; however, I always have to give it a go. I am balding and keep my hair close to the scalp or completely shaved bald, and I am always testing ways to shave my bonce in better and smoother ways.

It did a fantastic job after trimming it down with the hair clippers and no comb attachment (I used the Remington QuickCut) . However, while the design is excellent for facial shaving, it is quite tricky to use around the back of the head and takes some time to shave it all properly.

It worked much better and easier for head shaving when there were only two days of growth. Regularly using it daily or every two days to buzz around the head quickly would work.

I would stick with using an electric shaver designed for head shaving, like the Skull Shaver when using an electric type razor. They do the job so much easier, quicker, and better!

Does this shaver work well when wet-shaving?

A user really does not need to use the Braun Series 7 Flex Head wet or with shaving foam or soaps. However, it does really help to use it with shaving cream to make it more of a smoother shave.

Shaving with cream wet did make head shaving so much easier and better. It did also improve the comfort and ease of facial shaving somewhat.

A word of advice though, when wet shaving! These shavers can stick and kind of judder on the skin, if there is not enough shaving foam or cream on the skin –and a way to make this work better is to keep as much soap as needed on the skin all the time.

I’m not sure how these can be used in the shower, and when they are, a user will need to keep their head out of the shower with their head soaped up. It is great shaving in the shower, but I can’t use it with just the water running because of the juddering on the skin.

Electric shavers are about speed shaving, and the Series 7 does this well enough dry without any type of soap. Dry shaving makes the task of shaving fast and less messy.

What do you think about the Flex Head feature?

The Flex Head 360° feature was something that I had hoped to see on one of Braun’s shavers, and they introduced it to this generation of the Series 7.

I have to say I am impressed, and I know many other guys will be as well.

This makes all the difference when shaving tricky areas, including under the chin and neck, and especially the sideburns area. I even had trouble with the Braun Series 9, leaving patches on the sideburns and having to run over the same area many times, but not so with the Flex Head.

_{Various Movements}

How about the attachable trimmer and accessories? Some users are going to be happy that the trimmer is not attached to the body, while others do not want to remove the cassette and attach the trimmer.

I had problems with the attached trimmers being able to trim my sideburns (older Series 7 and the latest Series 9). On the Series 5 and this generation of the Series 7, the attachable trimmer actually works better, although it is a slight annoyance to have to change it and clip on and off the cassette.

The beard attachment combs are useful for those that might alternate between growing a bead and needing to trim it and shaving fully at other times. These are never as good as a dedicated beard trimmer, but they do get the job done.

_{Braun Series 7 attachments and trimmer}

Overall Shaving Experience?

I’ve gotta say this has become my number 1 electric shaver because of how comfortable it is to use, and it gets as close as any electric shaver needs to get to the skin. It beats the last generation of the Series 7 for me personally because of the ergonomics and Flex Head. Of course, other shaver like the Braun Series 9 Pro performs better, but it costs a lot more.

As always, I don’t get a shave as close as I get from a cartridge or safety razor; however, electric shavers seem to be catching up, and the ease, speed, and lack of mess are real pros when comparing them to razors.

The lack of missing areas and shaving over the sideburns many times that I have had from other Braun shavers, including the Series 9 has won me over on this Series 7 generation.

Build quality, design, and ergonomics – 9/10

The comfortable ergonomics and Flex Head 360° feature really make this generation of the series shine. The sides and back of the shaver have a rubber grip that makes holding it comfortable and non-slip.

The new additional button may be useful for checking battery charge and the cassette without switching the shaver on, and the safety lock is a very useful travel feature.

I’m not a big fan of clipping on and off the cassette as I think it is going to break or wear in time. I much prefer the press-in and release types that the Series 9 and older Series 7.

Braun states the Series 7 is built to last for seven years (it’s all about 7’s).

Cutting power – 10/10

The Series 7 offers 24’000 cutting actions per minute which is fairly powerful. You can hear the motor powering the shaver, but it isn’t too loud.

The Series 8 (30’000) and 9 (40’000) have more power; however, the Series 7 certainly feels powerful enough.

The motors AutoSense feature is said to adapt to the beard density, although I can’t say this is anything I can visually see or notice (not to say it does not).

Ease of Use – 8/10

Ease of use in terms of shaving, charging, and other aspects are great. However, the clipping feature for the cassette and changing to the trimmer is not the best. Companies often try to make a product like shavers multi-task when, in fact, that often lets users down, and they should focus on the main task.

Charging and battery life – 9/10

A user should get around an hour of runtime from a fully charged battery, and Braun states one charge will provide three weeks’ worth of shaving. I probably do get just over 3 weeks and over ten shaves which is good enough for me.

All cordless Braun shavers I have owned have had good battery life and longevity.

Cleaning and maintenance – 9/10

I was surprised to find that this new generation of Series 7 shavers had a different Charging & Cleaning station that does not offer cleaning modes, has no LED indicators, and does not automatically dry like the one that comes with the Series 9. The new station cleans just as well, and it’s not a deal-breaker, but I think Braun has done a cost-cutting thing here.

While the SmartCare Center is excellent and will clean and lubricate, a user can also clean the Series 7 by hand. A brush provided can be used to clean the inner section of the head gently (or/and blow debris out), and then the shaver can be run under a tap while it is switched on.

_{Brush gently and blow the debris out Rinsing under the tap}

Setting up and replacing the cleaning cartridge – The cleaning cartridges are easy to place in the SmartCare Center and to replace. They should last for about 3 months before replacement, and the cartridges may be bought in packs.

Some users use the old cartridge and its lid and then add their own liquid cleaner. Braun advises against this, but then they would as they are not making money from them if consumers buy elsewhere or find a DIY hack.

_{Cartridge replacementSmartCare Center in use, cleaning and charging}

A fresh zesty scent comes up from the cleaning dock, which can also be smelt on the shaver after.

How much do the replacement cartridges cost? Cleaning fluid cartridges usually cost around $5 USD (£4 GBP – 4 € EU) each (they cost less when bought in bigger packs). As mentioned, some users refill old cartridges with liquid that is sold online or in stores.

Replacement cassettes cost? – The cassette lasts for up to 18 months which makes the cost of replacements (approx. $40 USD, £30 GBP, 40 € EU) non-expensive. Braun’s cassettes will last longer when taken care of properly and cleaned frequently.

Value for money – 8/10

The new generation of Series 7 shavers costs around $130+ USD (£150+ GBP – 178,00 € + EU). Prices will vary and be more than these stated when including accessories like the SmartCare Center.

These are still very much on the expensive side of the scale for electric foil shavers. It does perform like a top-of-the-range shaver, so I guess they are value for money (we would all like to pay less).

Any Common Consumer Issues, Complaints, or Positive Reports?

I could not help but laugh and agree with one consumer that mentioned the very poor instruction manuals that come with the shaver, although it has multiple languages. I think Braun spends more time translating than giving clear, detailed, and concise directions.

Quite a few people have mentioned it feels very plastic.

There have been more than a few users reporting patches of hair left, which I found surprising. Despite having this issue with other shavers I found the Series 7 eliminated that with the Flex Head design.

Many users comment on how comfortable and close the shave is with this shaver and mention it is the best they have used.

User reports go from it’s the best to it’s the worst shaver ever. Most electric shavers are commented on in this manner!

Final Thoughts – and who is the Braun Series 7 Flex Head best suited for?

In a way, this would be perfect if it included the head removal buttons of the previous Series 7 and Series 9.

Some users are going to prefer the non-attached trimmer, while others won’t.

The Flex Head is a major great change, and if it was placed on the Series 9 then that shaver would be near perfect, although more pricey and less ergonomic.

Buyers that find the Series 7 within their price range and want a shaver that provides the best of what comfort and closeness an electric shaver could possibly provide should check this new generation out. Also, buyers that would like to upgrade from a cheaper shaver could benefit from upgrading to the Series 7.

If buyers would like to cut costs, then consider buying the shaver without the cleaning and charging station and the beard trimmer accessories. The Series 7 is one of the Best Braun Shavers when it comes to balancing out costs and performance.

A high-performance and comfortable shaver that gives as close as a man could get!

Alternative Shavers

The Braun Series 7 is a foil shaver that offers what most gents need for their grooming needs. However, there are alternative shavers that will be cheaper and offer less features or performance, and then there are others that may offer more features that are required.

Braun Series 5

The Series 5 from Braun is much more affordable than the Series 7, although it does not have the same features. It has much of the same design in terms of ergonomics and has three shaving elements, and a feature that is liked is the easy cleaning aspect of it without using a charge and cleaning station.

Braun Series 9

The Series 9 is at the top end of any shaver roundup in terms of costs and features. The motor is more powerful than the Series 7, and the SmartCare Center is better because it also dry cleans the shaver. This Series also had a much better method of removing the cassette, and the trimmer is attached to the shaver body.

Panasonic Arc 5

The Panasonic Arc 5 is a five-shaving element shaver that packs a punch in terms of power, even more so than the Series 9. The Series 9 and this shaver are direct competitors within the shaver market today. Buyers can reduce the costs of one of these considerably when buying one that comes with fewer features or accessories.

Advantages: Pretty good and quick shave
Charges quickly
Enough for a long time to charge

Disadvantages: They did not provide a place for charging in the case and were greedy with a Velcro clamp to tighten the wire.
The brush from the kit is a little stupid, a short, harsh brush is missing.

Comment: I have been using it for a couple of weeks, but so far the impressions are quite pleasant.
I slightly spoiled the impression that there was nowhere to put the charge and there was nothing to pull off the wire, I rearranged the Velcro clamp from the wire from the computer mouse (that’s why they thought about it on a cheap Chinese mouse for 1500r, but on a not very cheap German razor for almost 14000 (at a discount) no?
For those who do not shave…..
If the stubble is longer than 1-2mm, first walk with a trimmer, then wet your face and razor, pour liquid soap directly into the head, close the head and shave, rinse the razor and face periodically and add liquid soap . I do this and with my very stiff and thick stubble, everything shaves off perfectly.
Let’s see how it is with reliability…..

– Uncomfortable
– Cannot compete with Chinese simple machines

Comment: I bought my father this razor for a day birth. A month later, I ordered a cheap GALAXY LINE GL4161 clipper, gave it a try. So he immediately put the razor in the far drawer and asked to give him this machine. He said that it was more convenient, easier, more precise. I had to give him this machine.

Pros: The razor is a bomb. I have long wanted to buy a new one, because the old Philips has already become almost useless. I shaved my weekly stubble in 3 minutes. Doesn’t shave very well on the neck, needs a little more movement, but overall OK. Excellent case included. The trimmer is great. Let’s see how it will show itself in the process, but in general, fire.

Disadvantages: I don’t understand why there is a user manual. It does not carry any payload from the word at all.

Comment: The razor was partially charged out of the box, but did not turn on until it was fully charged. It is not clear why the second button is used, there is not a word about it in the manual. What the indication means is also unclear (except for the charging process). Express delivery in less than a couple of hours.

Benefits: Close and comfortable shave. Forget about cuts and irritation. High speed of work of knives.; The design allows to shave cleanly even a three-day rigid bristle. The main thing is to choose the right direction of shaving.

Disadvantages: Shaving takes more time than with a razor.

Comment: I really liked the razor. Expensive, of course, but worth it, especially since it should be enough for a long time, only the knives need to be changed in time. The kit includes a brush for dry cleaning, a cover, a trimmer. Everything you need, including a business trip. Charges fast

Disadvantages: I don’t know how to properly call chopped, shaved hair from the face, but they spill out of the razor right on the belly. Perhaps it was not necessary to be greedy for money and buy the 9th series.

Braun Series 7 7865cc Wet&Dry Shaver Review

There is not a single man who, at least once, did not finally get tired of the need to shave cleanly or, on the contrary, carefully care for his beard. And since you need to take care of yourself every day anyway, you should at least find a way to make this procedure less tiring and lengthy. In the end, it all comes down to getting a good razor. If we imagine a hypothetical “ideal” model, then it should be comfortable, suitable for shaving in any way (wet or dry), be autonomous, that is, not depend on a power source and have additional useful functions. Just such a device was created for you and you can buy the Braun Series 7 7865cc Wet&Dry electric shaver on our website right now.

Quality and capability confirmed

Strictly speaking, this portable device is not unique, but represents an entire line of electric shavers of the very popular SERIES 7. Just another variation to make your choice wider. Choose the perfect personal shaving complex, taking into account all the features and proposed technical solutions:

• Wet and dry shaving. A man chooses the most comfortable shaving method based on his own preferences and Braun leaves the decision to you, without limiting anything. The razor has a sealed body that reliably protects the internal systems and mechanisms, so it can be used not just on wet skin treated with gel or shaving cream, but even in the shower. It is also easy to clean the shaving head of stubble residue by rinsing it under running water.
• SkinGuard technology. Sharp blades work efficiently but are completely safe as they are well protected by the OptiFoil mesh. The ActiveLift trimmer handles even the finest hairs (up to 0.05mm thick) by lifting and guiding them under the blades.
• Smooth and precise. They are achieved with every movement of the shaving head. The cutting elements of the shaving head move smoothly, repeating exactly the slightest bend of the chin – at once 8 degrees of freedom, which the MacroMotion system gives.

Automatic power adjustment

The shaver automatically increases power (SyncroSonic system) if the blades hit an area with particularly thick bristles. In this way, it is possible to ensure a uniform and accurate trimming of the hairs. In addition, this feature helps to save energy, thanks to which the manufacturer guarantees up to 60 minutes of continuous operation of the device without the need for recharging!

Charging Station Clean&Charge

This razor literally cleans itself! When you put it on the next recharge, the proprietary Clean & Charge system comes into action, which makes sure that the blades are in perfect condition again for the next session.

Battery for Apple iPod Touch 6 1000mah

• Approximately 600 charge-discharge cycles until the battery capacity reaches 70%
• Service life of at least 2 years
• Can be charged at any time and does not have to be completely discharged (no “memory effect”)
• Low self-discharge characteristic of high-quality lithium batteries
• Has a built-in charge controller that protects against overheating and overcharging.

All batteries are safety tested and certified, ISO 9001:2008.

All recommendations and warnings apply to Li-ion, Li-polymer batteries only.

Charging

1. How do I start using a new battery?

   Lithium battery must be charged before first use! Only new Ni-Cd, Ni-MH batteries are discharged before use, while lithium batteries need to be charged!

   It is recommended to make three full charge-discharge cycles for the device to determine the full capacity of the battery. Each cycle includes charging for at least 3 hours and then completely discharging the battery.

   Do not leave the battery empty, charge the device immediately. These cycles are necessary for your device to use the full capacity of the new battery.

2. How to charge the battery?

   Use the charger and cable supplied with the device, regardless of the capacity of the new battery (more or less).

   Fast charging does not depend on the battery, if the device supports it, it will also work after replacing the battery.

3. Memory effect

   None (does not require “training” and “calibration”), but several charge-discharge cycles are required for a new battery (after replacing the old one).

Storage

1. Date of manufacture

   Date of manufacture is indicated in the serial number. Example: C11x04xx or A11x04xx – 2019 4 months, C12x06xx or A12x06xx – 2020 6 months. From 2022, 2202Nxx is indicated, where 22 is the year, 02 is the month.

2. Shelf life

   A battery charged to 30-50% can be stored for no more than 2 years at a temperature of 0 – 25 °C. In this case, the battery loses no more than 4% capacity per year.

Service life

1. Causing battery damage

   Very hot during charging or use. For example in the sun, near heaters. This does not apply to natural heating during charging or operation.

   Heavy duty. They do not reduce the resource as much as other reasons, but frequent loads can significantly reduce the service life.

   Cold charger. Charging the battery when the temperature is below 5° greatly reduces the resource.

   Mechanical damage. Damage to the sealed packaging of the battery increases the risk of complete failure.

   Storage in a discharged state. Also, long storage with the battery connected drains it faster and often the device can no longer charge it.

   Incompatible charger. A charger with a lower capacity can charge more slowly and also reduces the resource.

The battery is defective, signs

1. Discharges quickly

   Turns off abruptly, it was 50% and immediately 20% most often this is due to a battery malfunction.

2. Won’t turn on

   Diagnosis required, but battery replacement does not always solve the problem.

3. Not charging

   Finding the cause of the problem in order of verification:
   1. change the cable,
   2. change the charging adapter,
   3. clean the charging port on the device itself,
   4. change the battery.

Safety

1. What is the danger of the battery

   The absence of damage and stress in the operation of the battery practically guarantees its safety. The degree of assurance is illustrated by the following comparison from the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration:
   • the chance of becoming a victim of lightning during a person’s lifetime is about 1 in 13,000;
   • 1 in 10,000,000 chance of accidental ignition of a lithium-ion battery. Read more in this article.

2. Battery swelling

   Why this happens, how dangerous it is and what to do about it, read in this article.

3. How to Extinguish Batteries

   Learn more about how to prepare for extinguishing in this article.

Disposal

1. How to store and prepare for disposal

   Keep out of reach of children and animals! Before you dispose of your smartphone or cell phone battery, keep it away from children and pets. The consequences can be dire.

   Remove external risks. Keep the used battery away from moisture and heat sources (do not place in bathrooms, near heaters, etc.).

   Eliminate short circuit. Tape the contact area on the battery to avoid the risk of a short circuit.

   Place in container . If you have several batteries, then place them in a dielectric container – a cardboard box, plastic or polyethylene container in order to avoid contact with electrically conductive materials.

   For different – different containers. Avoid mixing Lithium-Ion, Nickel-Metal Hydride and Alkaline batteries in the same box when storing. Dispose of them separately as well to avoid a flammable chemical reaction if the housings leak or burst.

2. Where to return

   You can see the nearest point here, for batteries, select Boxy points.

   Also in Moscow, upon delivery or at the point of issue, it can be handed over for recycling (please inform us when placing an order).

JBL Bar 9.

1 Dolby Atmos soundbar system is now just £599

When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works.

(Image credit: JBL)

This time of year is a boon for telly addicts, and now boosting your TV’s audio just got a lot more affordable. That’s because there’s £200 off the JBL Bar 9.1 soundbar – it’s dropped from £799 to just £599 at Currys. Now you can enjoy The King’s Speech with added bass!

JBL Bar 9.1 £799 £599 at Currys (save £200)
This two-in-one soundbar-cum-surround system did well in our review – we praised its “room-filling sound and window-rattling bass”. Its unique character also means it “fills a room better than almost any other soundbar”. With £200 off, what are you waiting for?

The Bar 9.1 is not your traditional soundbar. Sure, it looks that way at first, with an elongated design that sits under your telly and a wireless subwoofer for added low end. But each end of the soundbar is a speaker in its own right that can be detached and placed behind and to the side of your seating position for proper surround sound. Said speakers are true wireless and battery-powered, too.

In other words, this is a soundbar and surround set-up in one.

It’s an ingenious design that lets it fill the room with sound better than almost any other soundbar available. Dolby Atmos comes as standard, as does DTS:X, Bluetooth, Apple AirPlay 2 and Chromecast support.

It’s not without its downsides, however. Its dynamics sadly aren’t up to much, while the bass quality can’t hold a candle to the best in class. Which can detract a little from what you’re watching.

Still, for versatility, there’s nothing like it around, giving you almost endless ways to set up depending on what you’re watching and as your viewing situation changes. And with £200 off, it’s better value than ever.

Braun Series 7 Electric Shaver Review: High-tech shaving

Verdict

With decent battery life, a relatively close shave and the ability to work well in either dry or wet conditions, the Braun Series 7 is a great all-round electric shaver that auto-adapts to hair length. It offers an impressively close shave, although I found it struggled with slightly longer hairs making it a better choice for those that shave more regularly.

Pros

• Adapts automatically
• Pop-out beard trimmer
• Fast charge

Cons

• Not so good at longer hairs

Key Features

• Battery lifeLasts up to 50 minutes on a single charge, but can be fast-charged in just five minutes to give enough power for one shave.

• TypeThis is a wet and dry electric shaver, so can be used in the shower.

Introduction

Sitting at the higher end of the firm’s extensive shaver range, which runs from the cheap and cheerful Series 1 all the way up to the super-premium Series 9 Pro, the Series 7 balances high-tech features with affordability.  

According to Braun, the Series 7 will deliver 24,000 cuts per minute alongside three shaving elements in a 360-degree adaptive head system. And the price? The shaver has an RRP of £269.99 but can be picked up from most online retailers for almost half that price. It’s currently listed on Amazon, for instance, for just £135. 

There are different versions of this product. All have the same body, as reviewed here, but you can buy the shaver with the SmartCare cleaning dock and with a beard trimmer if you need those features.

But is it really worth the price despite not being the brand’s top-performing shaver? Read on to find out how it stacks up in real life.

• Lightweight and premium-looking 
• Handy battery display in the handle 
• A triple-cut head system with a 360-degree swivel head for a closer shave
• Innovative beard-length auto-detection feature

Despite an all-plastic build, the Braun Series 7 has a premium and robust feel to it, although it’s light enough to move around the face with ease (weighing just 185g), which is especially handy if you like to take your time when shaving to ensure you’ve removed any stragglers.

Making this process all the more enjoyable is a rubberised grip around the body and rear of the shaver handle, which offers up a decent grip that feels comfortable.

You’ll also find an LED display on the handle of the Series 7, which is small but does the job of telling you how much battery life is left. It’ll also deliver cleaning reminders and the status of the travel lock (a feature that can be activated with a three-second press of the power button, so that the razor won’t turn on by itself in the bottom of your bag when on the go).  

Another notable feature is the Series 7’s triple-cut head system, which sports two foils on either side of a central trimmer. This is mounted on the device’s 360-degree swivel head and takes care of longer hairs while ensuring a closer shave.

Performance

• Close shave  
• Gets to hard-to-reach places
• Could be better on longer hairs
• 50 minutes battery life per charge 

As you’d expect from a grooming tool of this calibre (and price), the Braun Series 7 offers an impressively close shave. This is thanks to the dual act of its foil blades and middle cutter, which work together to clear away both short and long hairs.

The “360-degree adaptation” feature also helps in getting around the contours of the face, even in areas that are usually quite hard to reach. This, coupled with the super smart AutoSense technology (a beard-length auto-detection feature that senses your stubble or beard density and adapts the power setting accordingly as your shave away) makes for an easy and efficient shave as you don’t have to worry about going over and over already-shaven skin. Clever stuff!

My one complaint is that this isn’t the best shaver at dealing with longer hairs, so it’s best suited to those that shave regularly.

I loved that it can work wet or dry, and I’m big fan of the beard trimmer head that pops out of the back and adds more versatility.

As for battery life, the Series 7 takes about an hour to fully charge, which offers about 50 minutes of shaving time. You can also “quick charge” for five minutes to give the shaver enough of a boost for a single shave.

Latest deals

Should you buy it?

Lots of features, low price: You want a quality electric shaver with high-end features but without the luxury price tag.

You’ve got longer hairs: You let your stubble grow out and shave less frequently, as this won’t do a great job at catching longer hairs.

Final Thoughts

The Braun Series 7 offers a good set of clever, high-tech tools that work well and aren’t just there for the sake of it. It’s quick to charge, easy to use and it makes daily shaving a painless and efficient. A great all-rounder that won’t disappoint, unless you tend to let your hair grow between shaves in which case the Panasonic Series 900+ may be a better choice, otherwise check out our guide to the best electric shavers.

Braun Series 7 Review (360° Flex Models) 2023

Electric Shaver Review

Last Updated on April 21, 2023

Available @ Amazon

The Braun Series 7 electric shaver is getting close to the top of the range in electric shavers in terms of both functionality and cost, and of course, performance. It made it into our short list of the best Braun shavers recommended.

This review is for the Braun Series 7 flex head version from the Series 7 range.

How many Braun Series are there, and what do the Series and Generations mean? – I shall mention this for those that are unaware of the Series that Braun offers. The series begins with number one and ends with nine, although Braun, for some reason, does not have a series 2 or 4. The Series 9 (well–9 Pro now) that I have recently reviewed is at the top end of their shavers regarding functionality and costs, and then the Series 1 is at the lower end.

Each of the series over the years, including the Series 7 have seen improvement changes (known as generations) that show Braun is always trying to make their shavers better than the last models. Most of these improvements are great; however, like most companies, they make some changes that look more like cost-cutting motives than improvements (if I notice them, I point them out).

The Braun Series 7 Flex is a very different shaver compared with the previous 7 Series, and while some people feel improvements were made, others feel differently. The previous 7 Series without the flex head can still be purchased; however, for some reason, they are more expensive.

Here are the Series 7 Flex model numbers available.

Braun Series 7 Flex Head (model 70-N**** UK/EU or 70** USA)

UK/EU 70-N1200 s (+ trimmer), 70-N7200 cc (clean & charge station + trimmer), 70-B7850 cc‘ (clean & charge station + trimmer + attachments) are all the 360° Flex Head models.

USA 7020s (+ trimmer), 7025s (+ trimmer + trimmer attachments),7027s (+ trimmer + trimmer attachments + charging stand), 7075cc (+ trimmer + cleaning & charging station),7071cc (+ trimmer + trimmer attachments + cleaning & charging station).

Each number 70-***** (UK/EU) or 70** (USA) is the exact same shaver but each one will differ in accessories and clean & charge station.

Just to confuse consumers more, or at least us that review shavers for readers – Braun uses different model numbers for that same model in various countries alongside different numbers for the accessories included.

The various models within a series can get confusing, and they differ, which is why I have mentioned all those available within the Series 7 Flex Series. The main point is the model reviewed here (Braun Series 7 70-N7850cc) is the same as the others in terms of build, motor, and performance.

The Brand – The brand ‘Braun’ was founded a 100 years ago that created their first electric shaver during the 1950s. The German-based company (a subsidiary of Procter and Gamble) is known worldwide, and just about everyone looking to buy a foil electric shaver today will see a Braun shaver as a buying option.

Description & Features

This updated Braun Series 7 has had a major makeover. The ergonomic design is more user-friendly and less bulky, and the 360° Flex Head aims to work much better at shaving comfortably along the various contours of a user’s face.

_{Braun Series 7 70-N7850 cc contents unboxed}

Which model should I buy? If a buyer does not need or want the clean and charge station or accessories, then they can purchase the slightly cheaper model. A buyer doesn’t really save much when buying the models without attachments etc., and if there is a possibility of the attachments or cleaning & charging station being used, then it may be worth the extra bit of cash spent.

• AutoSense Technology – This enables the shaver to sense beard density and adjust the motor to the power that is required.
• Cutting Actions – The 7 Series offers 24’000 cutting actions per minute.
• 360° Flex Head – This is the big feature of the new 7 series. It has the ability to adapt and move with the various contours of the face and aims to make shaving tricky areas much easier. At the moment, it is only the Braun 7 series that offers this feature.
• Shaving Elements – This shaver has 3 flexible shaving elements/blades. Two of these are foils, and in the center there is a cutter that aims to cut hair that grows in various directions and lift up other hairs to be cut.
• Easy Click Attachments – The shaving head can be clipped on and off for changing the head or using the attachment trimmer. The beard trimmers must be attached to the precision trimmer.
• Wet & Dry (100% waterproof) – The Flex Head series is fully waterproof and can be used to shave either wet or dry. Users may shave with their favorite shaving, cream, soap or foam.
• CleanCare System – This system cleans and lubricates the cassette and charges the battery. The cleaning fluid requires replacement cartridges that will need to be replaced every 3 months (longevity depends on use).
• Charging and Battery – A fully charged battery takes up to an hour to be charged, although users can give the shaver a quick 5 minute charge for 1 or 2 shaves. A full charge will give users about 50 minutes of cordless shaving time.
• Light Indicators – A cleaning light will indicate after using the shaver. A red cord indicator comes on when a user tries to use the shaver when it is plugged in, and another red padlock indicator comes on after holding the button (also bleeps) for a few seconds to activate the travel safety switch. There is also a battery life and foil cassette indicator (lets a user know when to replace – every 18 months).
• Travel Safety Lock – The on/off button can be held to lock the shaver and unlock it when a person takes it on their travels.
• Battery & Foil Checker – This generation of the Series 7 has an extra button underneath the power on/off button. When pressed, it indicates the battery charge and if the foil cassette needs replacing without switching the shaver on.
• Warranty – Braun offers a standard 2 years warranty on shavers. If bought directly from Braun a buyer may get an extra 1 year, but it’s just a lot more expensive to buy from them and not worth it at twice the price.

How well does the Braun Series 7 360° Flex Head perform and Shave?

After using, testing, and reviewing the Series 9 not so long ago and having previous experience with the older 2nd generation of Series 7 shavers, I was intrigued to see how the Flex Head 3rd generation of Series 7 shaver would perform.

As per usual, I spent about a month using this shaver. I tried it out on 3+ days of beard growth, 1 – 2 days dry and wet (also with shaving cream), and I tested how it would head shave, although I know it is not designed for head shaving.

This shaver has consistently provided a smooth shave for an electric shaver and was the best out of many electric shavers for shaving the sideburns and chin area without leaving patches. The ease of shaving and not leaving patches is most certainly due to the Flex Head, as the Series 9 and the older generation of Series 7 could not perform as well in these areas.

Shaving with this new generation felt very much like holding the Series 5 or 6. The body is much more slimline and feels better to hold than the last series.

How was shaving daily or every 2 days? – The first, second, and third day was the best time to use this shaver, and the absolute best personally was every 2 days.

I never like to shave with any shaver or razor daily. It’s gonna cause me irritation!

How was shaving with 3 or more days growth? Three days was the limit for me. After three days, it just took too many shaving strokes, which is the case with all other electric shavers I have used.

Does it head shave very well? I know the Series 7 is not designed for head shaving; however, I always have to give it a go. I am balding and keep my hair close to the scalp or completely shaved bald, and I am always testing ways to shave my bonce in better and smoother ways.

It did a fantastic job after trimming it down with the hair clippers and no comb attachment (I used the Remington QuickCut) . However, while the design is excellent for facial shaving, it is quite tricky to use around the back of the head and takes some time to shave it all properly.

It worked much better and easier for head shaving when there were only two days of growth. Regularly using it daily or every two days to buzz around the head quickly would work.

I would stick with using an electric shaver designed for head shaving, like the Skull Shaver when using an electric type razor. They do the job so much easier, quicker, and better!

Does this shaver work well when wet-shaving?

A user really does not need to use the Braun Series 7 Flex Head wet or with shaving foam or soaps. However, it does really help to use it with shaving cream to make it more of a smoother shave.

Shaving with cream wet did make head shaving so much easier and better. It did also improve the comfort and ease of facial shaving somewhat.

A word of advice though, when wet shaving! These shavers can stick and kind of judder on the skin, if there is not enough shaving foam or cream on the skin –and a way to make this work better is to keep as much soap as needed on the skin all the time.

I’m not sure how these can be used in the shower, and when they are, a user will need to keep their head out of the shower with their head soaped up. It is great shaving in the shower, but I can’t use it with just the water running because of the juddering on the skin.

Electric shavers are about speed shaving, and the Series 7 does this well enough dry without any type of soap. Dry shaving makes the task of shaving fast and less messy.

What do you think about the Flex Head feature?

The Flex Head 360° feature was something that I had hoped to see on one of Braun’s shavers, and they introduced it to this generation of the Series 7.

I have to say I am impressed, and I know many other guys will be as well.

This makes all the difference when shaving tricky areas, including under the chin and neck, and especially the sideburns area. I even had trouble with the Braun Series 9, leaving patches on the sideburns and having to run over the same area many times, but not so with the Flex Head.

_{Various Movements}

How about the attachable trimmer and accessories? Some users are going to be happy that the trimmer is not attached to the body, while others do not want to remove the cassette and attach the trimmer.

I had problems with the attached trimmers being able to trim my sideburns (older Series 7 and the latest Series 9). On the Series 5 and this generation of the Series 7, the attachable trimmer actually works better, although it is a slight annoyance to have to change it and clip on and off the cassette.

The beard attachment combs are useful for those that might alternate between growing a bead and needing to trim it and shaving fully at other times. These are never as good as a dedicated beard trimmer, but they do get the job done.

_{Braun Series 7 attachments and trimmer}

Overall Shaving Experience?

I’ve gotta say this has become my number 1 electric shaver because of how comfortable it is to use, and it gets as close as any electric shaver needs to get to the skin. It beats the last generation of the Series 7 for me personally because of the ergonomics and Flex Head. Of course, other shaver like the Braun Series 9 Pro performs better, but it costs a lot more.

As always, I don’t get a shave as close as I get from a cartridge or safety razor; however, electric shavers seem to be catching up, and the ease, speed, and lack of mess are real pros when comparing them to razors.

The lack of missing areas and shaving over the sideburns many times that I have had from other Braun shavers, including the Series 9 has won me over on this Series 7 generation.

Build quality, design, and ergonomics – 9/10

The comfortable ergonomics and Flex Head 360° feature really make this generation of the series shine. The sides and back of the shaver have a rubber grip that makes holding it comfortable and non-slip.

The new additional button may be useful for checking battery charge and the cassette without switching the shaver on, and the safety lock is a very useful travel feature.

I’m not a big fan of clipping on and off the cassette as I think it is going to break or wear in time. I much prefer the press-in and release types that the Series 9 and older Series 7.

Braun states the Series 7 is built to last for seven years (it’s all about 7’s).

Cutting power – 10/10

The Series 7 offers 24’000 cutting actions per minute which is fairly powerful. You can hear the motor powering the shaver, but it isn’t too loud.

The Series 8 (30’000) and 9 (40’000) have more power; however, the Series 7 certainly feels powerful enough.

The motors AutoSense feature is said to adapt to the beard density, although I can’t say this is anything I can visually see or notice (not to say it does not).

Ease of Use – 8/10

Ease of use in terms of shaving, charging, and other aspects are great. However, the clipping feature for the cassette and changing to the trimmer is not the best. Companies often try to make a product like shavers multi-task when, in fact, that often lets users down, and they should focus on the main task.

Charging and battery life – 9/10

A user should get around an hour of runtime from a fully charged battery, and Braun states one charge will provide three weeks’ worth of shaving. I probably do get just over 3 weeks and over ten shaves which is good enough for me.

All cordless Braun shavers I have owned have had good battery life and longevity.

Cleaning and maintenance – 9/10

I was surprised to find that this new generation of Series 7 shavers had a different Charging & Cleaning station that does not offer cleaning modes, has no LED indicators, and does not automatically dry like the one that comes with the Series 9. The new station cleans just as well, and it’s not a deal-breaker, but I think Braun has done a cost-cutting thing here.

While the SmartCare Center is excellent and will clean and lubricate, a user can also clean the Series 7 by hand. A brush provided can be used to clean the inner section of the head gently (or/and blow debris out), and then the shaver can be run under a tap while it is switched on.

_{Brush gently and blow the debris out Rinsing under the tap}

Setting up and replacing the cleaning cartridge – The cleaning cartridges are easy to place in the SmartCare Center and to replace. They should last for about 3 months before replacement, and the cartridges may be bought in packs.

Some users use the old cartridge and its lid and then add their own liquid cleaner. Braun advises against this, but then they would as they are not making money from them if consumers buy elsewhere or find a DIY hack.

_{Cartridge replacementSmartCare Center in use, cleaning and charging}

A fresh zesty scent comes up from the cleaning dock, which can also be smelt on the shaver after.

How much do the replacement cartridges cost? Cleaning fluid cartridges usually cost around $5 USD (£4 GBP – 4 € EU) each (they cost less when bought in bigger packs). As mentioned, some users refill old cartridges with liquid that is sold online or in stores.

Replacement cassettes cost? – The cassette lasts for up to 18 months which makes the cost of replacements (approx. $40 USD, £30 GBP, 40 € EU) non-expensive. Braun’s cassettes will last longer when taken care of properly and cleaned frequently.

Value for money – 8/10

The new generation of Series 7 shavers costs around $130+ USD (£150+ GBP – 178,00 € + EU). Prices will vary and be more than these stated when including accessories like the SmartCare Center.

These are still very much on the expensive side of the scale for electric foil shavers. It does perform like a top-of-the-range shaver, so I guess they are value for money (we would all like to pay less).

Any Common Consumer Issues, Complaints, or Positive Reports?

I could not help but laugh and agree with one consumer that mentioned the very poor instruction manuals that come with the shaver, although it has multiple languages. I think Braun spends more time translating than giving clear, detailed, and concise directions.

Quite a few people have mentioned it feels very plastic.

There have been more than a few users reporting patches of hair left, which I found surprising. Despite having this issue with other shavers I found the Series 7 eliminated that with the Flex Head design.

Many users comment on how comfortable and close the shave is with this shaver and mention it is the best they have used.

User reports go from it’s the best to it’s the worst shaver ever. Most electric shavers are commented on in this manner!

Final Thoughts – and who is the Braun Series 7 Flex Head best suited for?

In a way, this would be perfect if it included the head removal buttons of the previous Series 7 and Series 9.

Some users are going to prefer the non-attached trimmer, while others won’t.

The Flex Head is a major great change, and if it was placed on the Series 9 then that shaver would be near perfect, although more pricey and less ergonomic.

Buyers that find the Series 7 within their price range and want a shaver that provides the best of what comfort and closeness an electric shaver could possibly provide should check this new generation out. Also, buyers that would like to upgrade from a cheaper shaver could benefit from upgrading to the Series 7.

If buyers would like to cut costs, then consider buying the shaver without the cleaning and charging station and the beard trimmer accessories. The Series 7 is one of the Best Braun Shavers when it comes to balancing out costs and performance.

A high-performance and comfortable shaver that gives as close as a man could get!

Alternative Shavers

The Braun Series 7 is a foil shaver that offers what most gents need for their grooming needs. However, there are alternative shavers that will be cheaper and offer less features or performance, and then there are others that may offer more features that are required.

Braun Series 5

The Series 5 from Braun is much more affordable than the Series 7, although it does not have the same features. It has much of the same design in terms of ergonomics and has three shaving elements, and a feature that is liked is the easy cleaning aspect of it without using a charge and cleaning station.

Braun Series 9

The Series 9 is at the top end of any shaver roundup in terms of costs and features. The motor is more powerful than the Series 7, and the SmartCare Center is better because it also dry cleans the shaver. This Series also had a much better method of removing the cassette, and the trimmer is attached to the shaver body.

Panasonic Arc 5

The Panasonic Arc 5 is a five-shaving element shaver that packs a punch in terms of power, even more so than the Series 9. The Series 9 and this shaver are direct competitors within the shaver market today. Buyers can reduce the costs of one of these considerably when buying one that comes with fewer features or accessories.

Comment: Bought for my son. Before that, there was also a Braun 3 series, it served 12 years. It’s time to replace the blades, but the prices for consumables are such that it’s easier to buy a new one.

Advantages: Pretty good and quick shave
Charges quickly
Enough for a long time to charge

Disadvantages: They did not provide a place for charging in the case and were greedy with a Velcro clamp to tighten the wire.
The brush from the kit is a little stupid, a short, harsh brush is missing.

Comment: I have been using it for a couple of weeks, but so far the impressions are quite pleasant.
I slightly spoiled the impression that there was nowhere to put the charge and there was nothing to pull off the wire, I rearranged the Velcro clamp from the wire from the computer mouse (that’s why they thought about it on a cheap Chinese mouse for 1500r, but on a not very cheap German razor for almost 14000 (at a discount) no?
For those who do not shave…..
If the stubble is longer than 1-2mm, first walk with a trimmer, then wet your face and razor, pour liquid soap directly into the head, close the head and shave, rinse the razor and face periodically and add liquid soap . I do this and with my very stiff and thick stubble, everything shaves off perfectly.
Let’s see how it is with reliability…..

Advantages: – Works
– Shaves

Disadvantages: – Expensive
– Shaves worse than a fine-toothed machine
– Uncomfortable
– Cannot compete with Chinese simple machines

Comment: I bought my father this razor for a day birth. A month later, I ordered a cheap GALAXY LINE GL4161 clipper, gave it a try. So he immediately put the razor in the far drawer and asked to give him this machine. He said that it was more convenient, easier, more precise. I had to give him this machine.

Pros: The razor is a bomb. I have long wanted to buy a new one, because the old Philips has already become almost useless. I shaved my weekly stubble in 3 minutes. Doesn’t shave very well on the neck, needs a little more movement, but overall OK. Excellent case included. The trimmer is great. Let’s see how it will show itself in the process, but in general, fire.

Disadvantages: I don’t understand why there is a user manual. It does not carry any payload from the word at all.

Comment: The razor was partially charged out of the box, but did not turn on until it was fully charged. It is not clear why the second button is used, there is not a word about it in the manual. What the indication means is also unclear (except for the charging process). Express delivery in less than a couple of hours.

Benefits: Close and comfortable shave. Forget about cuts and irritation. High speed of work of knives.; The design allows to shave cleanly even a three-day rigid bristle. The main thing is to choose the right direction of shaving.

Disadvantages: Shaving takes more time than with a razor.

Comment: I really liked the razor. Expensive, of course, but worth it, especially since it should be enough for a long time, only the knives need to be changed in time. The kit includes a brush for dry cleaning, a cover, a trimmer. Everything you need, including a business trip. Charges fast

Advantages: Good shave, four and a half to five points

Disadvantages: I don’t know how to properly call chopped, shaved hair from the face, but they spill out of the razor right on the belly. Perhaps it was not necessary to be greedy for money and buy the 9th series.

Comment: Before that, there were three razors from another company (I won’t say for advertising purposes, but there are from the islands behind Vladik), there was no such thing. (ES-LF51 is the last one)

Braun Series 7 7865cc Wet&Dry Shaver Review

There is not a single man who, at least once, did not finally get tired of the need to shave cleanly or, on the contrary, carefully care for his beard. And since you need to take care of yourself every day anyway, you should at least find a way to make this procedure less tiring and lengthy. In the end, it all comes down to getting a good razor. If we imagine a hypothetical “ideal” model, then it should be comfortable, suitable for shaving in any way (wet or dry), be autonomous, that is, not depend on a power source and have additional useful functions. Just such a device was created for you and you can buy the Braun Series 7 7865cc Wet&Dry electric shaver on our website right now.

Quality and capability confirmed

Strictly speaking, this portable device is not unique, but represents an entire line of electric shavers of the very popular SERIES 7. Just another variation to make your choice wider. Choose the perfect personal shaving complex, taking into account all the features and proposed technical solutions:

• Wet and dry shaving. A man chooses the most comfortable shaving method based on his own preferences and Braun leaves the decision to you, without limiting anything. The razor has a sealed body that reliably protects the internal systems and mechanisms, so it can be used not just on wet skin treated with gel or shaving cream, but even in the shower. It is also easy to clean the shaving head of stubble residue by rinsing it under running water.
• SkinGuard technology. Sharp blades work efficiently but are completely safe as they are well protected by the OptiFoil mesh. The ActiveLift trimmer handles even the finest hairs (up to 0.05mm thick) by lifting and guiding them under the blades.
• Smooth and precise. They are achieved with every movement of the shaving head. The cutting elements of the shaving head move smoothly, repeating exactly the slightest bend of the chin – at once 8 degrees of freedom, which the MacroMotion system gives.

Automatic power adjustment

The shaver automatically increases power (SyncroSonic system) if the blades hit an area with particularly thick bristles. In this way, it is possible to ensure a uniform and accurate trimming of the hairs. In addition, this feature helps to save energy, thanks to which the manufacturer guarantees up to 60 minutes of continuous operation of the device without the need for recharging!

Charging Station Clean&Charge

This razor literally cleans itself! When you put it on the next recharge, the proprietary Clean & Charge system comes into action, which makes sure that the blades are in perfect condition again for the next session.

A TV stand and entertainment center has an incredible power to make or break a living room design. It can be a trim detail that ties your room together in a neat look. Or it can be a statement piece, unashamed of its size and scale. Either way, it will provide a fine pedestal for your television. Or at least be an elegant home for that bland tv box, your blinking wi-fi router or your collection of gaming consoles.

There are a lot of things to consider when choosing a TV stand for your home. If you know just what you need, some of our entertainment center units can be combined for a tailor-made media center that suits you and your appliances best.

How to choose your TV stand height

When deciding which TV stand to get, a key consideration is how tall it needs to be. This is dependent on the size of the TV and on the height of, and distance to, your seat.

Here’s a quick guide on how to think about TV stand size and how to measure for it in your home.

How to find the right size TV for your stand

You can’t choose the right entertainment center without first considering your TV size and your seating arrangement. For the best possible viewing experience, you want to have your screen further away the larger the screen (and vice versa). And this will be true whether you’re trying to optimize your home cinema installation or just want a nice piece to support a smaller screen. To figure out what size TV you need (or where to place your seat) do the following:

1. Measure the distance (in inches) between your seat and the place where you want your TV

2. Divide the number by 1.6

3. Round off the resulting number to the nearest screen size

Let’s say you sit 98″ from your TV. If so, you divide 98″ by 1.6 and you get 61.25. The recommended screen size of your new TV would therefore be around 60″. Or, if you already have a 32″ screen, you should probably move your sofa about 40″ closer.

How high up should you place your TV?

The middle of the TV should ideally be aligned with your eye line. Because, if you place the TV too high or too low, you’ll strain your neck by tilting your head to compensate. When sitting in your regular watching position, you should be able to keep your neck neutral while watching.

Since all of us come in so many wondrous heights, shapes and sizes, the ideal height is going to vary a bit for all of us. But a good way is to approximate your eye-level when in your preferred watching position and try aligning the middle of the TV accordingly.

Once you know this, the height and size of your perfect TV stand should be a lot easier to choose. Maybe you will find an entertainment center piece that’s the perfect size and height for your living room. Or maybe you discover that you should wall-mount your screen instead, which allows you to get a smaller and more discrete TV cabinet just for storing your appliances.

modern style, straight, angled

Modern TVs are thin and can be hung on the wall. But not everyone likes this idea. Another TV screen can be put on a specially designated place in the cabinet furniture – the wall. But this option does not suit everyone. A TV stand in a modern style is considered more relevant. It is compact, can be of any style, size and shape.

• 2 Functionality
• 3 What is it made of
• 4 Design features

Determine the dimensions

Dimensions of the TV cabinet are limited, perhaps, by the available free space. The only thing you should probably avoid is that the length of the furniture is less than the width of the TV. In this state of affairs, there is a high probability that when passing by, you can touch and push the screen. If the dimensions of the bedside table are larger, willy-nilly, you will have to go around the obstacle along a large radius, so that the TV will be safe.

TV stand available in various heights. Conventionally, they can be divided into three categories:

When choosing the height of the cabinet, you should remember that for comfortable viewing, the TV must be located at a certain height. This height depends on the size of the screen and the distance the TV is from human eyes. In general, it is assumed that the middle of the screen should be at the level of the human eye.

How to choose the height of the TV cabinet

So, first of all, decide how high a modern-style TV cabinet should be. Next, measure the length of the TV and the space you can allow for this type of furniture. This will help determine the minimum and maximum dimensions of the TV cabinet. In the store, these numbers will come in handy. Showrooms have a large area, which makes the furniture seem smaller than it really is. Focusing on the available measurements, it will be more difficult for you to miss the choice.

Functionality

TV cabinet can have open and closed shelves, drawers. Previously, cassettes, disks, and other similar “trifles” were stored here, but today this is irrelevant. All these attributes have almost disappeared from everyday life. But a large number of different chargers and other small and not very gadgets have appeared, which are difficult to determine the place. Perhaps the shelves and drawers near the TV are what you need.

Medium height TV cabinets available in any style

TV cabinets with open shelves are visually perceived as “lighter”. But we must remember that dust collects on the shelves very quickly. If you are ready for daily cleaning, you can choose a model with a large number of shelves. If regular care is not your forte, it makes sense to choose an option only with drawers or closed shelves.

What it is made of

If the modern style TV stand is purchased separately, it is matched to the existing furniture in style, color and material. There will be no problems if your furniture is made of chipboard (laminated chipboard). It is from this material that such products are made in most cases. If the furniture is made of MDF, everything is a little more complicated – different companies make different facades, but here you can find similar products.

When you go shopping, it’s a good idea to bring some small piece of your furniture. This will help to accurately determine the color and texture. If there are no small details, there is another option – remember the name of the finish of your furniture (for example, dark walnut, mahogany, etc.) and have a photo. Standard colors, if different from different manufacturers, are insignificant. If the TV stand is separate from the rest of the furniture (and usually it is), no one will notice such a difference. A photo will help to more adequately assess the match in style.

TV cabinets are made from traditional materials: wood, chipboard, MDF, glass and plastic

You can also find options made of glass and steel pipes, glass and plastic inserts. It is unlikely that your rest of the furniture is made of similar materials. So you need to look at how the new item will be in harmony with the rest of the situation. Before buying, be sure to check the bearing capacity of a similar design. In products made of chipboard and MDF, it is not prescribed, as they are high, but glass shelves have weight restrictions. Modern TVs weigh a little, but be careful. Your weight must not exceed the maximum permissible load.

If your cabinet furniture has glass inserts, it makes sense to look for glass of the same texture or color. The same applies to metal parts – it is desirable that they match the existing type of finish.

If the found TV stand in a modern style does not quite harmonize with the environment, you can correct the situation by using some accessories, additions that combine elements of new and old furniture. This will help bring everything together into a single ensemble.

Design features

It is very difficult to use corners rationally. One possibility is to put the TV screen in the corner. In this case, you need a corner TV stand in a modern style. The shape of the cabinets installed in the corner can be pentagonal or triangular. The most common are pentagonal. The depth of their central part is solid, so the usable volume will be much larger than that of the “direct” counterparts.

Corner TV cabinets available in pentagonal and triangular

Models with a triangular base are suitable for small apartments. They take up much less space, thanks to which they will fit into a small free space. Small size – low material consumption, low cost. If you are looking for an inexpensive TV stand, take a look at these models.

There are also TV cabinets with built-in brackets. If you install a similar model, it seems that the TV is hanging on the wall. In fact, he keeps on the rack. In order for the whole structure to be stable, the cabinet itself has a solid size and it is usually made of chipboard, since the material is the heaviest, and the mass is needed so that the structure does not turn over. When choosing furniture of this type, pay attention to the weight of the screen that the design can hold. It is important.

TV cabinets with screen brackets

This option is good for walls with low bearing capacity and it is dangerous to hang the TV on the wall or in the right place on the mortgage that can support the weight of the screen.

A hanging TV stand in a modern style will perfectly fit into a modern interior. But this option is exclusively for walls with good bearing capacity, since the entire mass – both the cabinet and the screen – falls on the wall. Due to the lack of legs, it seems that the furniture is floating. Due to this, the massive structure does not look so heavy.

TV stand without legs. Actual for modern laconic interiors

Hanging TV cabinets are mounted on powerful brackets. Even so, they should not be loaded with a lot of things. In addition to the TV set itself, you can put a couple of decorative elements, and put a few gadgets.

TV cabinet sizing tips

Selection of TV cabinet size and materials is determined by factors such as the area of ​​the room, the diagonal and type of TV (flat panel or bulky projection), viewing position (behind the table, from the sofa, chair ). A convenient location will determine how comfortable it will be to watch your favorite programs, series or films: after all, an incorrect anatomical position of the body in just 2 hours of screen time can lead to clamps, muscle stiffness, fatigue and headaches. Use the formula on how to calculate the size of a TV cabinet and choose the right model in our catalog.

How to best place your TV

There is a universal formula that will allow you to place your TV optimally and avoid unnecessary strain on your back, neck and eyes while watching. The center of the screen should be at the eye level of the seated viewer, plus or minus 10-15 centimeters in any direction. Of course, it is impossible to calculate specific measurements down to a centimeter – but this is not required: especially if you plan to watch TV not alone, but with the whole family and even with children, and not only sitting, but also lying on the couch

TV stand, dimensions and its configuration directly depend on the size of the equipment itself. It is obvious that in a small room it is inappropriate to place a huge TV on half the wall: you simply do not have enough length of the room for comfortable viewing. How far away from the viewer should the screen be? It is most convenient to watch a movie or a program if the distance to the image is related to the size of the screen itself.

• If there is between 110 and 230 cm between your viewing position and the TV screen, then you should not choose a TV with a diagonal larger than 30″. Accordingly, the cabinet for such a small screen can be of the minimum size, exactly for this gadget.
• Distance of 1.6-3.2 meters from the screen allows you to choose a diagonal of 42″.
• TV 50 “it makes sense to buy if you have a space of 1.9-3.8 meters from it to the sofa.
• A huge 60″ screen will be convenient to watch only if you sit at a distance of 2.3-4.6 meters from it.

How to choose the size of the TV cabinet

The height of the floor and hanging TV cabinets have a similar calculation formula. Whatever the configuration and model of your furniture, the most important thing is to successfully position the screen in relation to the level of view. If the display is too low or high, then the image will glare, and you will experience discomfort in the body.

TV stand height

The height of the floor stand can be easily calculated using the formula:
h viewing area – (2/3 h TV screen) – h TV legs.

Viewing height is the level of your eyes when you are sitting on a sofa or chair in front of the TV. This parameter can be taken as an approximate one, so that it is convenient for other family members or guests, and children (whose gaze level will naturally be lower) to look at the screen, and even from a lying position.

TV stand height

Hanging cabinet attached to the wall and looks like it is suspended in the air. This design looks lighter, does not weigh down the interior, so it is great for small spaces. In addition to style, the advantage of hanging furniture is its practicality: cleaning is easier and faster with it, since there are no legs that would interfere with access.

The calculation formula will be the same as for floor furniture. The difference lies in how roomy the drawers and shelves can be made: if you use the entire height with the dimensions of the cabinet to the floor, then the hanging furniture will always be smaller in volume.

What is the height of furniture for TV

The most common parameters of a floor cabinet are 25-40 cm. This height is optimal for most rooms and modern models of television equipment. If it doesn’t seem enough for you, you can use a bracket or hanging TV stand.

Plasma TV is watched from a great distance, so the accuracy of the calculation in the dimensions of the pedestal under it is not required. As a rule, the height of furniture for plasma is about 40-55 cm.

Recommendations for choosing furniture for TV equipment

What dimensions should be for a TV cabinet for your apartment, only you determine. If it is important for you to use furniture with the widest possible functions, then pay attention to models with additional storage spaces, drawers, shelves. This will allow you to place in the cabinet not only things related to the movie viewing area. Thanks to this, you can minimize the amount of other furniture in the room and unload the space without losing functionality.

12 Inch L7 Subwoofer | KICKER®

12″ L7 2Ω Subwoofer

The L7 stands alone as the most unique subwoofer on the market, with a cone shape that is exclusively designed to produce more output.

Pasmag Reviews the L7 Q-Class Subwoofer

I can recall a time as a schoolboy when we were studying geometry. I could not fathom how this was ever going to be useful to me in my life, but of course, it was and continues to be. Apparently the engineers at Kicker were paying attention in those classes too, because they have put a fundamental principle of geometry to good use. We learned, way back then, that a square of a given size will always have more area than that of a circle of the same dimension – exactly 27.33 percent more, regardless of the relative dimension. Read the full review here.

THE NEW L7

The KICKER L7™ Subwoofer again reaches new heights in technology and design, capturing the imaginations of 2015 CES® Innovation Award judges and solidifying itself as the crown jewel among industry subwoofers. For more than a decade, KICKER’s square woofer earned numerous awards including several CES accolades, and the 2015 version once again makes distinctive improvements on its way to another honor.

subwoofer Kicker S15L7 | magazine AvtoZvuk

Mark GASANOV, measurements: Yuri YEVTUSHENKO

We began to remember what living creatures were and are in rotation in our industry. Raccoon – was. The American Eagle was and is. Spider – and completely calloused his eyes. It’s strange why the octopus was ignored…

A powerful, high-tech animal (reactive principle, after all), spectacular in appearance and, what is important, tasty if you know how to cook. All the principles of building a high-quality mobile audio system are evident.

Square “Kickers” come to us in the test is not the first time, amazement at the design of the speaker was replaced by enlightened interest. Square “Solobariki” is still not like the others. They tried to copy the main feature – a square diffuser (where are they, copiers, now?), They tried to outdo it by making the diffuser triangular (the same question remains valid), but these attempts did not leave the format of banal monkeying, because they remained behind the scenes (as follows from the fate of the mentioned attempts) technological aspects of the “exit from the circle”. The fact that they remained in the frame at Stillwater Designs also follows from practice, we can judge this by the results of acquaintance with other “squares”.

The fact is that during operation the diffuser, even if it is a surface of revolution, tries to lose its original shape. And if not rotation, then with particular success. Look: the corners of the square are more distant from the center, which means that with the same distributed force from the side of the suspension, it will deform more. This is on the one hand. And on the other hand, the square is not flat, it has a break along each diagonal, in other words, a stiffener. Then it turns out the other way around: the suspension at the corners of the square should be stiffer.

So what to do? How and how much, in grams and millimeters? It turns out that the bending deformation of the diffuser must be modeled in the most serious way, not on a calculator. And if the diffuser is not of a simple cross section, then the task becomes more complicated, then not even on a personal computer. At the same time, it is necessary to calculate the elastic resistance of the suspension and, according to the requirements, set its shape. Moreover, the suspension is not straight and not even circular, but – what a misfortune – it is angular. And, by the way, in other industries, square diffusers are not really needed, there the problem of “too compact” boxes is not at all worth it. In general, most likely, it is the complexity of this task, and not patent restrictions, that discourages almost all manufacturers from bothering with “squares”. Fortunately – “almost”, but not for everyone. And those who were not beaten off, performed the necessary deeds with success, the degree of which can be confirmed instrumentally.

Square “Solobariki” have been known for a long time, in the spring six years have passed since their first appearance in public. They seem to be divided into two parts: everything above the centering washer is square, starting from the washer, and down is round. The current L7s are housed in a die-cast chassis, with each of the four spokes now featuring plate-like “gills” like the Kicker amp caps. The case, I must say, is not completely devoid of resonances, but they all start far beyond the operating range of the subwoofer – by ear somewhere from 500 Hz. The rounded shape of the lower washer of the magnetic system reveals the presence of an annular groove. The diameter of the axial hole is 25 mm, for a 2.5-inch caliber coil, this is even economical. Well, with regard to the magnet, savings would be inappropriate – the mass of the mobile system at the “fifteenth” “Solobarik” – you know what. (Don’t know? Well, we’ll fix that in five minutes.) So the dimensions of the magnet are 178 x 40 mm.

Figured stamping on a polypropylene square (not to forget) diffuser personally reminds me of an octopus ready to attack, as the attacked (must be) sees it – its geometry is complex, more characteristic of living nature than human creations. The body of the “octopus”, as usual, follows the tentacles: the transitional cone, which transmits the force from the voice coil to the diffuser, repeats its beam “cavities” with its protrusions. Thus, the authors of the development not only increased the rigidity of the structure, but also increased the length of the contact line along which the cone is connected to the diffuser. The suspension is rubber, 27 mm – for the “tag” this, one might say, is not the width. But by doing so, the designers saved the diffuser area, which, as we know, is directly related to sensitivity. The degree of success in maximizing diffuser area for a given size can be verified with very simple measurement and only slightly more sophisticated computing equipment. The area of ​​the diffuser turned out to be slightly larger than 0.1 square meters (that’s what measures have come because of the “Kickers”) and corresponds to a round diffuser with a diameter of 360 mm. For a normal “tag”, this diameter is about 300 mm, because the caliber of the head is a conditional value, determined by the overall diameter “for metal”. In the corners of the suspension, you can see eight (the favorite “octopus” figure) ribs, it is they who create the treasured difference, found by the finite element method, in the flexibility of the straight and curved parts of the corrugation.

Centering washer is flat, but the height of the corrugations decreases towards the center. The flexible lead wires are flat in cross section and, by the way, insulated on the outside. Each of them is fixed at two points on the centering washer with thick thread stitches. There are, of course, four wires in total, since there are two sections of 2 ohms in the coil. The windows through which the coil is blown are clearly visible in the photo. There are, of course, eight pairs in total.

I hope I managed to spin the intrigue around the mass of the mobile system, so you probably expect at least half a kilo here. Pardon me, this is still not a competitive SoloX, but a universal subwoofer, slow down at least a quarter. Slowed down? So we got a lot of “progress”: 372 g.

We note as an advantage, albeit not related to the shape of the cone, the decision to make the voice coil sections 2-ohm. We have written more than once (and are ready to do it again) that the 2 + 2 impedance formula is more convenient in practice than the more common 4 + 4, since it gives more room for power maneuver. With a serial connection, a normal resistance is obtained, for which any amplifier will work as a bridge, with separate connection of sections to two channels – everything is also the way, the channel of a conventional amplifier is designed for such an impedance, and a parallel connection of 1 Ohm is already extreme, provided, however, in the specification of many bass monoblocks. Try to implement at least half of this arithmetic by shuffling two 4-ohm sections, and break off – there will be little, then a lot.

We determined the force factor just when the sections were connected in series, as in a normal 4-ohm head. It turned out 21 Tl m with kopecks (kopecks for one tenth, if someone works in accounting). This is a lot, if you compare it with the “15 spots” from group test No. 2 for this year, you will find that only one participant reached this mark, all the rest had no more than 15 T m. So the reference sensitivity is not prohibitive (for its caliber ), but more than. A little later we will see what we can get in the cabin. Nonlinear distortion (you have a table in the same issue, you can check) is significantly below the average for “15”. In this regard, “Solobariki” not only does not require any discounts for “squareness”, but also surpasses many rounded colleagues. In addition, I note that distortion increases at the upper limit of the subwoofer range, and if the cutoff frequency is chosen below 90 Hz, the distortion will be even lower. And you, in fact, were not going to cut above 90, right?

Surprisingly, we could not find the Thiel-Small parameters for this head and relied (usually and not without a sense of self-confidence) on the results of our own measurements. The head turned out to have a very low resonant frequency and low quality factor, which together gives hope for a compact acoustic design. And with a huge equivalent volume, which undermines this hope. What will be stronger?

Manufacturers evaded a definite answer: for SG they recommend a volume from 42 to 170 liters, according to the principle “no matter how much it is a pity”. Guidelines for FI are more specific, with the dimensions of the slot tunnels, we present the results of modeling the smallest and largest.

Following the rule to give guidelines for the most compact SL and the most correct phase inverter in terms of frequency response, we supplement the factory tips with three of our own. The minimum volume in which Solobarik will play normally (even excellently) is 35 liters. If you need more ultra-low bass, the volume should be increased to 55 liters. A musical phase inverter will require a significantly larger volume, 100 liters. To tune even such a volume to a low frequency with a sufficiently large section of the tunnel, it will have to be slotted and long. Taking the same (approximately) section of the slotted port as in one of the brand recommendations, 5 x 40 cm, we get a length of about 80 cm. will be possible.

Subwoofer 12″ SoloBaric L7 is a Kicker legend. There is not much to tell about it – everyone already knows that this is a Square, Legendary, American Kikcer! Model 11VS12L72. What does it mean : – in the box FI – 12 “- 2 coils of 4 ohms Bought in my own box. The box is battered by life – I give it away for free as a load to the subwoofer. Physically, everything is ok with the box. But it wouldn’t hurt to push it. The speaker itself is in excellent condition. Not burned, Not repaired. Even now to fight! I sold the car – I sell the processor, amplifiers, subwoofer, tweeters. The audio system was assembled and tuned by the pros. It sounded like fire! But unfortunately, now there is no time for fat .. Everything has to be sold. One owner! One car! All mine – all working. Any checks. Buy subwoofer Kicker Solo-Baric S12L72 – excellent, powerful, legendary!
