Following on from my review of the excellent flagship Final Audio ZE8000 MK2 TWS earbuds, I have been reviewing the affordable UX2000 ANC headphones. These inherit many of the features of the superb Final UX3000 but with a toned-down spec at a more affordable price point. Final UX2000 vs UX3000 Specifications Final UX2000 UX3000 Colour…
I didn’t have the best experience with Matter when I first used it with the Google Nest WiFi Pro, but since then, there has been a growing number of Matter-enabled devices, and I have switched to Home Assistant for all my smart home needs. The AiDot Linkind represent a perfect example of why Matter is…
Final Audio is best known for its range of high-end wired earphones and hi-fi headphones, with its D8000 planar magnetic headphones costing several thousand dollars. In recent years, they have started to embrace modern audio technologies with a range of Bluetooth ANC headphones and earphones. I have previously reviewed a few of the more affordable…
Everyone loves a good air fryer; they are cheaper to run than an oven and often produce better results while also being healthier due to the reduced need for oil. I have reviewed some excellent fryers over the past few years, including the Proscenic T21 Smart air fryer, Proscenic T31 and the HYSapientia 25L…
I have been a big fan of Ugreen recently, and I think they are one of the best companies for USB peripherals, such as power delivery chargers, USB hubs, and power banks. Out of their Nexode range, I have previously reviewed the Nexode 300W 5-Port PD GaN Desk Charger and the 3-port Nexode 140W. Both…
I previously reviewed the superb Xencelabs Pen Tablet, which is a more affordable and arguably superior alternative to the popular Wacom Intuos Pro. However, at around £290 for the medium bundle model, it is still quite expensive unless you are quite serious about your digital art and design. There are plenty of affordable alternatives, and…
The Topdon JS3000 is a heavy-duty portable jump starter aimed at professionals and demanding use cases. With a peak current of 3000A, 24000mAh battery capacity, and robust design, it packs enough power to jump start even trucks, RVs, boats and diesel vehicles up to 7 litres. Beyond just jump-starting, it doubles as a versatile power bank for charging laptops, phones, and tablets on the go. In comparison, the Nebo Ultimate Multi Voltage…
Xiaomi sub-brand Poco has announced its latest devices, the X6 and X6 Pro. These are affordable phones that are very similar in specification. From the initial rumoured specs of the Poco X6 Pro, the only differences I can see are that it has a much better Dimensity 8300 Ultra chipset, faster 90W charging and faster…
I am a big fan of smart heating, and with the cost of gas and electricity, it has become more important than ever to have greater control over your heating. My home has gas-powered central heating, so I don’t particularly need an electric heater, but this Aeno Premium Eco Smart LED Heater is superb, albeit…
As I normally review several Netgear consumer routers and mesh systems each year, I thought I should do a dedicated review of Netgear Armor rather than rehashing the information in each review. Netgear Armor is the security feature that is baked into most modern Netgear routers and mesh systems. It is a subscription-based service that…
The SJCAM C300 is an affordable 4K action camera that packs some impressive specs and features a unique design that allows you to convert it into a small wearable camera or a larger dual-screen handheld camera. With the ability to shoot crisp 4K video at 30 fps and 20MP still images, it provides excellent quality…
I have previously reviewed the excellent Paulmann Velora Zigbee Smart LED Panel, which is an excellent alternative to the Philips Hue light panels. More recently, I have been checking out the range of Paulmann Zigbee bulbs, which can be integrated into a Philips Hue system just as easily as a normal Hue bulb. I have…
