Jabra Elite 85t Review – Refined sound & improved ANC vs the Elite 75t but a different fit & less bass
ByJames Smythe 17th January 202117th January 2021
The Jabra Elite 75t were one of my favourite TWS earphones in 2020. The very bass dominant profile may not be for everyone, but it works well for fitness, and they became my most use earphones for both running and indoor Zwift sessions. Technically, the IP55 rating made them less than ideal for my sweaty…

The Taotronics Tri-Band AC3000 tri-band mesh system is the first mesh system from Taotronics, and by the looks of things, their first attempt at networking products in general. They are better known for their affordable TWS earphones, which I have reviewed plenty of. They haven’t messed about either; this is a tri-band WiFi 5 system…

Teclast M40 Android Tablet review – Far superior vs the Dragon Touch Max10 & other cheap Amazon tablets
ByJames Smythe 9th January 20219th January 2021
The Android tablet market is a bit of a shambles, if you want a big brand name, the only two doing it are Samsung and Huawei. I loved the Huawei MatePad 10.4, at the £200 price point, you get an incredible specification and build quality for the money, but like most new Huawei devices, it…

TaoTronics Soundliberty 95 & SoundLiberty 80 TWS earbuds review – Both excellent & the SoundLiberty 80 voice control is surprisingly good
ByJames Smythe 3rd January 20213rd January 2021
Rather than two separate reviews for two relatively similar earphones, I opted to cover the latest two earphones from TaoTronics together. There doesn’t appear to be a great deal of logic with the Soundliberty. The Soundliberty 95 is the cheaper of the two options by a decent margin. TaoTronics Soundliberty 95 vs SoundLiberty 80 Specification…
