Reviews of all the latest gadgets and technology
FS, formerly Fiber Store, has quickly grown expanding into producing their own networking hardware including switches, access points and even video conferencing solutions. The range of switches is particularily impressive with options starting out at £115 for an 8-port POE switch. It is the higher end stuff that is perhaps more noteworthy, the S5860-24XB-U is…
Anyone half-serious about fitness will know that the optical heart rate monitoring on watches is prone to serious inaccuracies. It is not so much that the sensor is inaccurate, just the wrist is an awful place to monitor your heart rate. I have reviewed several heart rate monitors now and bought many more. I have…
As someone that relies on adverts to make a living, I should be against ad blockers. The unfortunate reality is that many sites are barely usable thanks to their ads, so some form of ad blocker becomes essential. More worryingly, from a privacy perspective, many of the targeted ads you see are just creepy. These…
This year I finally caved and bought a portable air conditioner. Ideally, I’d like a multi-split air conditioner, but that requires someone it install it, and ideally when I finally get my loft converted. For many people, a portable air con is the only realistic solution for proper air conditioning. Inventor may not be the…
Huwder is not a company I have heard of before, and they don’t have any presence on Amazon UK. I was a little bit sceptical of their attractively priced and very high spec USB chargers when they approached me for a review. I was, therefore, left pleasantly surprised when this turned out to be a…
I have never been a fan of headphones for long days in the office or gaming, I just find them a bit uncomfortable after a few hours. I always use speakers when possible, but computer speakers can be physically large and often expensive. The Edifier G2000 is neither of those; these small 2.0 active speakers…
Page 2 covers health tracking, price and alternative options and my overall opinion. Last month, as part of the Realme GT launch, the company announced its new affordable fitness trackers, the Realme Watch 2 and Watch 2 Pro. The Watch 2 is almost the same as the previous generation, they have improved the battery and…
The Cleer Ally Plus II was announced last week, and I have been using them since. These build upon the success of the Cleer Ally Plus, upgrading the Qualcomm QCC5121 to the QCC5141, which brings with it Bluetooth 5.2, aptX Adaptive and improved ANC performance. Specification Qualcomm QCC5141 SoC with Bluetooth 5.2 & aptX Adaptive Superior sound…
Page 2 covers the Smartcomms kit, price and alternative options plus the overall rating Launched last month, the Creative Sound Blaster X4 is a tweaked version of the popular X3 DAC, which integrates the new Smartcomms Kit that has featured on several of the recent Creative products. Sound Blaster X4 vs X3 Specification Sound Blaster…
The Reolink RLC-510WA was announced back in March. Similar to most of the recent Reolink launches, the main feature upgrade here is the new smart object detection for people and vehicles, allowing you to minimise notifications and make it easier to find recorded events. The RLC-410W would be the likely camera this replaces, so you…
My third affordable TWS earbud review in the past week. The Ugreen HiTune X5 earbuds have not officially been launched yet, but they will be available in July from Amazon and other retailers. The Ugreen press release only states that these are powered by a Qualcomm SoC. I would expect this to be the Qualcomm…
In a few days time the Yeedi Vac Station wil be available to buy with an RRP of $499 but a $100 early-bird coupon available for anyone that subscribes to their newsletter. I was quite excited about trying out this robotic vacuum and had planned to do a full review of it. Unfortunately, the review…
