Soundcore Frames take on Bose Frames & Huawei X Gentle Monster with more attractive pricing of £150 vs £240 vs £270

I reviewed the Bose Frames a bit over two years ago. At launch, Bose promised big things, with the initial branding being Bose AR which was supposed to feature augmented reality. They were quite good, they were not bone-conducting like you might imagine, such as Aftershokz but they managed to sound good without creating too…

Avoid upgrading to Windows 11 if you have an AMD Ryzen CPU

Windows 11 has finally been launched and you can upgrade your PC or laptop now, but you probably shouldn’t. During the Beta phase, I noticed surprisingly few complaints about the new OS and things were looking promising, until now. AMD has reported some significant performance issues with AMD Ryzen CPUs and Windows 11 and this…

However, sooner or later, they had to upgrade the sensor….

Nothing ear (1) Review – Ignore the hype, they are not some flagship killer, but these ANC earbuds are still good

The Nothing ear (1) earbuds have probably been the most marketed and hyped earbuds in existence. As much as I like Carl Pei and what he did with OnePlus I have found the whole Nothing campaign cringeworthy and annoying. Weekly press releases for minor details quickly became tiring. It wouldn’t have been bad if it…

The world of home automation has always been a little confusing thanks to all the competing technologies. The two big ones are Zigbee and Z-Wave, but you then also have Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and many proprietary systems from the likes of Philips Hue, Lightwave, Den Automation and others.
