Garmin Forerunner 235 GPS Running Watch Review

ByJames Smythe 9th May 201723rd July 2018

Following my review of the excellent Garmin Fenix 3 HR, I decided I wanted a new Garmin watch for myself. The Fenix 3 was a bit too big for my thin wrists, and more importantly, it was well above my budget. The Garmin 235 appears to fix these problems while retaining all the features I…

LG V20 H990 Review

ByJames Smythe 5th May 201715th August 2017

Ok, so I am a bit late to the game with this review, but there is a reason for that. After my Nexus 6P died I needed a new phone that was both premium and affordable. While the Samsung Galaxy S8 was extremely tempting, I just can’t justify spending close to £700 on a phone….

Google Home Review

ByJames Smythe 20th April 201725th September 2017

Google Home has finally landed in the UK after being available in America for the last few months. Does this smart speaker live up to the hype, and more importantly can it compete with Alexa?

iMend Apple iPad Mini Repair Review

ByJames Smythe 20th April 2017

I previously reviewed iMend back in 2013 and was happy with the results, so when they asked me to carry out another review, but for a tablet, I jumped at the chance as I had a iPad Mini with a cracked screen. A basic front glass replacement costs £59.99 with a 12-month warranty, to get…

Pioneer DJ – WeDJ App Review

ByJames Smythe 5th April 2017

Ok so I will be the first to admit that I have no musical talent whatsoever, so being asked to review WeDJ the DJing app made by Pioneer was a little strange for me. WeDJ, as the name suggests, is a DJing app meant for simple mixing on the go, or at least simple…

Bose SoundTouch 300 Soundbar Review

ByJames Smythe 31st March 201715th August 2017

The Bose Soundtouch range is a great concept from Bose, you have a traditional soundbar set up but you can expand it to work a bit more like a 5.1 system. Not dissimilar to the way you can get Sonos to work as an AV system. But is it any good? I was only sent…

1MORE E1001 Triple Driver In-Ear Headphones Review

ByJames Smythe 29th March 2017

1MORE are a completely new brand to me, but apparently, they are making some waves win the audio world with their affordable triple driver E1001 in-ear headphones. Priced at £99.99 they are still expensive compared to your standard cheap brand you might buy off Amazon, for example, the excellent but poorly built SoundMagic E10. Unlike…
