Overcome the challenge with style!
When we talk about Spanish blogs that are pioneers in lifestyle topics aimed at a male audience in our country, one name quickly comes up: Javier Ollero.
The star of our latest #SmartChallenge created the blog Stripes and Checks in 2011, while studying to become an optician optometrist in Granada. With the desire to offer his own viewpoint in the world of trends, Ollero used his blog and social networks to learn about the latest in men's fashion and, in turn, write about it to help all those interested in achieving an important goal: dressing with character.

And indeed, if Javier has brought anything to the influencer world, it is plenty of character. His content, in which he carries out excellent informative work about the most important launches around fashion and urban lifestyle, is also seasoned with good doses of humour and irony. That constant creativity, along with his dedication on all his social media profiles—especially on his Instagram profile—are some good reasons why Javier has a reserved place for anyone interested in the world of digital trendsetters.
A follower of great style icons like David Beckham or the model Johannes Huebl, Javier always has skinny trousers in his wardrobe and a good selection of basic black and white shirts for moments that require less formality and more comfort. However, regarding eyewear, Javier does not settle for the basics and has known how to apply his good aesthetic taste to what is his “traditional” profession by launching a few months ago Martison, a premium sunglasses brand with which he is making an interesting mark in the optical sector’s online market.

When SPC contacted Ollero for their new challenge, the answer was a resounding “I accept,” just as @go_miriam did before him without hesitation. And we say “resounding” because doing countless high-intensity exercises with the guidance and suggestions of your followers is something one can only face with a good dose of determination.

Well aware that clothes look better “on a good frame,” our protagonist is a regular at outdoor sports: running, high-intensity cycles… in short, he likes action and we knew we would have a good tester for our new wireless earphones SPC Ebon, which feature Bluetooth 5.0, 3.5 hours of battery life, voice assistant and hands-free, among other technical aspects, all packed into 11 grams of weight.

The star of our #SmartChallenge was not fully confident when starting the SPC challenge, as Ollero himself explained: “The truth is, when I see people on the street with wireless earphones, the first thing I think is how quickly I would lose them because, among other reasons, the usual devices always fall out of my ear. My first surprise was that the fit of the SPC ones is magnificent and translates into two things: security knowing they won’t fall out and isolation. Because they fit perfectly, the SPC Ebon also block out many surrounding noises; they can almost be used like library earphones!” Another aspect Javier highlighted from the start is “how quickly they connect to the phone, the synchronization is perfect, something that does not always happen with devices using this connection technology.”

For Javier, the charging case has been one of the biggest surprises of our product, “because it saves you the need for an extra charger and allows you to keep them well cared for on any trip. Without a doubt, the matte finish on both the earphones and the case, besides providing comfort, adds an impeccably neat look.”

To finish, Ollero does not want to forget the value for money (49.90 €): “I always associated everything wireless in my mind with something expensive, but with the sound they have, the comfort and their price, the SPC Ebon seem to me one of the best options within reach of any pocket.”
And now comes the best part! Having overcome the challenge, Javier has opened a contest on his Instagram to give away a pair of SPC Ebon earphones like his to the winner. Don’t think twice and join now. Hurry before the deadline ends!
