I have recently covered a few products that support Apple Homekit. The Aqara Smart Video Doorbell G4 would be the highlight of my recent reviews as it is the best doorbell you can buy that supports Homekit and it supports HomeKit Secure Video. I don’t personally use any Apple devices, but my partner does. From…
Let’s face it.Choosing a new headphones pair is not easy even if you’re not a first-time buyer. Should I pickup over ear headphones or over-ears? Earphones or earbuds? Which one would be better: wireless or wired headphones? These are just some of the questions we ask to ourselves while looking for new headphones. But these…
Audio file formats can get really confusing really fast. There are a lot of them, with different characteristics and different qualities, so let’s take a look at them. We’ll kick things off with the basics – what is an audio file format? An audio file format is a format that stores digital audio data on…
I recently impulsively offered to look after a relative’s 9-month-old puppy for a week as they had an operation that would incapacitate them for a while. Being the anxiety-riddled person I am, I started to get paranoid about my capacity to look after a puppy and all the things that could go wrong. This included…
Apple AirPods are insanely popular, and I know a lot of people who won’t use anything other than AirPods. I can’t personally use the normal AirPods because the open-fit design doesn’t work with my big ears, but it seems that this design is the reason why some people are so loyal to AirPods. However, with…
The USB standards are a confusing mess. The USB Implementers Forum has made multiple name changes over the years, which makes understanding the different options out there difficult and many brands still use the older naming conventions. To add to the confusion, you also have Thunderbolt, which uses the USB-C port, but it is not…
While we all enjoy listening to our favourite music, the process is far from a simple one. What we have today has been a culmination of decades of technological improvements. As you may know, getting the right audio quality and great speakers is a must if you plan on enjoying any kind of music. But…
If you frequently find yourself commuting or taking frequent airplane trips, it’s highly likely that someone has emphasized the importance of active noise-cancelling headphones to you. In case you’re not well-versed in the realm of headphones, you might be curious about what exactly they are, how they function, and whether you should contemplate investing in…
Bookshelf stereo systems used to be a popular option for audio enthusiasts, offering a compact system that would normally include radio and CD. They have slowly fallen out of fashion due to the popularity and affordability of excellent Bluetooth speakers or more advanced WiFi smart speakers that include Alexa or Google Home built-in. However, there…
If you love listening to music, you should have an over-ear headphones pair. Yes, earbuds/in-ear headphones give you portability and a smaller profile to take care of, but they can’t stand against over-ear headphones when it comes to the real deal – the sound quality (thanks to their larger sound drivers). Not only over ear…
Following on from last week’s post about the ALLPOWERS S700 portable power station. You can also get 20% off the next model up. As usual for ALLPOWERS, they are the most cost-efficient option on the market. This is the ALLPOWERS S1500 which has a large capacity of 1092Wh with a 1500W output. Weighing in at…
In recent months I have reviewed the Ugreen Nexode 140W and Nexode 200W, and since Amazon kicked a bunch of brands off the site, Ugreen has been my go-to brand for charging accessories. They are good quality and tend to be a bit cheaper than the Anker equivalents. The Ugreen Diginest Cube is an appealing…
