At the start of the year, I was sent the Modius Health headset to review, this weird looking headset claims to promote fat loss via vestibular stimulation. It does this by shooting small amounts of electricity into your head via 2 pads placed on your mastoid bone behind your ear. The company has some impressive…
If like me, you spend all day sat behind a computer screen, you are probably aware of the health consequences of being sat down immobile all day. Over the past few years, we have seen a boom in sit/stand desks which aim to alleviate some of the issues we face. Then there are more extreme…
I have reviewed quite a lot of fitness trackers, and sports watches now, from cheap to expensive. One thing that is common with them is that they are all a bit ugly. The Suunto Spartan is possible the most attractive one I have reviewed; if you don’t mind the sports watch look, none are suitable…
Being based in Blackpool, cycling conditions are not ideal very often, especially at the start of the year with things like beast from the east ruining any chance of going outside. So as someone wanting to push my cycling distance beyond 100m I need to up my training a little, and a turbo trainer is…
If you are a regular cyclist, especially commuter, you will be all too aware of the dangers of cycling in traffic. During dark mornings or evenings bike mounted lights help a lot, but Livall hopes to improve your safety even further. The Livall range of bike helmets are possibly the first smart helmets on the…
I have previously reviewed the Garmin Edge 1000 which is arguably the best bike computer on the market, or at least it was until the 1030 came out. However, at an RRP of £499, it is worth about 50% of my actual bike and is a bit over the top for my needs and most…
I used to be an obese heavy drinker, and since getting fit, I always have obsessed with monitoring my health being paranoid that my previous lifestyle choices have caused chronic damage. I love all fitness tech and love to keep track of stats, so keeping an eye on various health markers is something I find…
Amazon is an excellent source of cheap alternatives to expensive branded smart technology. I particularly love the fitness trackers that use the Very Smart Pro app. Amazon is also a safe way to get cheap Chinese Android phones where you have the backing of Amazon customer service. I thought I would broaden my horizons and…
**Update: I have posted an 8-week update review on the Modius here ** Update 2: You can now buy Modius from Amazon for just £269.00 at the moment. It is fulfilled by Amazon so you have their next day delivery and customer service support for returns. I only became aware of Modius around a month ago,…
I reviewed the excellent Sudio Vasa BLÅ back in 2016. At the time they offered a designer look, premium build quality for a reasonable price tag of £69. Sudio have now followed this model up with the Tre, which are priced at £79 but you can get them with 15% off if you use the…
Another Amazon fitness tracker review for you today! They have been a popular product this Christmas so it is good to see which ones are worth the money and which ones to skip. This Letscom is a little different than the previous few trackers I have reviewed, priced at just £20 it is the cheapest…
With the growing number of phones ditching the 3.5mm port finding a good pair of Bluetooth earphones has become essential for anyone that appreciates good quality audio. From a personal perspective, Bluetooth devices are plagued by problems you don’t get with wired options. Getting a comfortable fit is the biggest issue I find, a lot…
