Huawei FreeBuds 5 Open Fit Earbuds Announced with new Droplet Style Design

Huawei has announced the latest generation of their open-fit TWS earbuds, the Huawei FreeBuds 5. These ditch the Apple AirPod-esque design that the FreeBuds 4 and FreeBuds 3 used in favour of a new curvey design. At first glance, they were reminiscent of the bean-shaped Samsung Galaxy Buds Live that launched a couple of years…

Mecool KM7 Plus Review – Google Certified Android 11.0 TV Box with Amlogic S905Y4

The Mecool KM7 Plus is being advertised as the first Android TV BOX that is running the Google TV OS. Though, it’s a bit of a technicality as there are several dongles that run Google TV OS. The Mecool KM7 Plus differs from the older Mecool KM7 because: Specification Chipset Specification This is the same…

Jabra Elite 4 Announced for £100 – IP55 vs IP57 water proof durability vs Elite 4 Active for £20 less

I am a big fan of the Jabra Elite earbuds, and I think they are the best brand for anyone that uses earbuds for a lot of fitness. Most brands only provide an IPX4 rating for their earbuds, which is generally good enough, but Jabra offers a far superior IP55 or IP57 rating, depending on…

Creative Stage SE vs Stage vs Stage V2 Soundbars – A new affordable under-monitor soundbar

Yesterday, Creative announced the Stage SE soundbar, which is designed to be small enough to fit under a monitor. It is on the affordable end of the spectrum, priced at just £70. Only the Creative Stage Air V2 is cheaper. Looking at the specification and price, it seems like a bit of an odd fit….

Jabra Elite 5 Review – At £99, these are the perfect gym & fitness earbuds

I reviewed the Jabra Elite 75t back in 2019 and loved them; they were perfect for my fitness focussed needs. A year later, I reviewed the flagship Jabra Elite 85t, which I was equally impressed with. I review a lot of earbuds, and I have around six pairs in rotation that suit my personal needs….

Sony LinkBuds S Review – Exceptional ANC earbuds for as low as £120

The Sony LinkBuds S are the first earbuds I have had a chance to review from Sony. They were announced in May 2022. Even though these share the same name as the original LinkBuds, they are not alike. The original LinkBuds had that weird open-ring concept that allows you to have conversations and be environmentally…

Sonos Era 300 vs Era 100 vs Sonos 5 Compared – Choosing the best speaker for surround sound

Earlier this week, Sonos announced two new speakers, the Era 300 and Era 100. The Era 100 is a replacement for the Sonos One, with the One only being available until stock runs out. The Sonos Era 300 appears to be a new product or a replacement for the long-dead Play:3. The Play:3 was discontinued…

Sonos Era 100 vs Sonos One Compared: Sonos One to be phased out, how is Era 100 better, and is it worth the extra £50?

A couple of days ago, Sonos had one of its biggest product launches in a couple of years. They announced the Era 100 and Era 300, ditching the previous naming scheme they have used for years. The Sonos Era 300 is perhaps the most interesting of the two as it doesn’t really replace any speaker….

Audio Pro A15 Water Resistant Wi-Fi & Bluetooth Multi-Room Speaker Review – How does it compare vs Sonos Move

I have previously reviewed the attractive Audio Pro C5 MKII and the superb Audio Pro A48 floor-standing speakers. I have now been sent the Audio Pro A15. This is one of the few portable speakers on the market that uses both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. It is also IP-rated, making it suitable for outdoor use. It…
