Like most people, I have always used active speakers with my computer; they are generally affordable and simple to use. Plug them in, and away you go. Active speakers come in various shapes, sizes and at a wide range of budgets. I have covered several excellent options from Edifier recently. I bought the Acoustic Energy…
I have previously reviewed the SecureDrive BT SSD and the BT USB Flash Drive. Today I will be looking at the SecureDrive KP. This is more of a traditional hardware encrypted drive, coming in a 2.-5-inch portable drive format with a built-in keypad for encryption. The hard disk sizes go from 500GB to 5TB; then…
My first experience with Final Audio was the VR3000 Gaming Earphones which offered impressive performance with a sound profile that helps improve your gaming somewhat. The A3000 is the latest release, more musically focussed this time and currently available to buy from HiFiHeadphones for a touch under £100. There is then the slightly more expensive…
Aftershokz has produced bone conduction earphones for around a decade now, with no other big brand offering them competition. This style of earphones is predominantly focussed on outdoor fitness providing increased situational awareness that in-ear options will never be able to offer. Bone conducting headphones are the only earphones that are approved for use in all road races under…
I previously reviewed the Ubiquiti UniFi 6 Lite, which was my first experience using Unifi properly within my home. I was delighted with its performance for the price, and my compulsive spending got the better of me, so I ordered the Ubiquiti UniFi 6 Long Range as soon as I hit publish on the Lite…
Garmin hasn’t had a big launch recently, hopefully we will get the Fenix 7 at some point later in the year. In the meantime, they have launched the Garmin Enduro. The is an appealing but somewhat niche watch. The main issue it has is the high price tag of £699.99 putting it £170 high than…
Active noise-cancelling headphones don’t have to cost a fortune. Skullcandy has been a popular, affordable brand for many years with a wide range of fashion and sports focussed audio gear. Today they are announcing two new headphones, upgrading their popular Hesh line-up. The highlight is the Skullcandy Hesh ANC which comes in at £119.99, around…
Former OnePlus director Carl Pei is a talented hype machine, as soon as his departure from OnePlus was rumoured, people were immediately speculating what his next project might be. This led to a big social media reveal, which turned out to be Nothing. Gushing fans love the company name, giving them plenty of opportunities for…
I have reviewed a few Edifier speakers now, and they offer a wide range of options for people looking for affordable options. I previously reviewed the excellent Edifier R1850DB, the R2000DB are a step up in the product range, offering a superior specification in a similar but physically larger design. While the Edifier R2000DB may…
The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra is arguably the best flagship phone from Samsung in years. With the newly designed Exynos 2100 chipset, Samsung finally has something that can compete with Qualcomm. Admittedly, the chipset does have quite a few issues, but it is a much closer race than in previous years, and the Qualcomm is…
At the start of the year, I bought and reviewed the Xiaomi Mi 11. This was a Chinese import, bought from Giztop, so the OS had quite a few issues with random Chinese sections. Overall, the phone was quite usable though, using a launcher such as Nova or Microsoft you can make everything as normal…
Featured image not me, unfortunately. The Wahoo Tickr & Tickr X came out in May last year and looked to be the best HRM options on the market, more affordable than Garmin and with superior Bluetooth options. As usual, Dcrainmaker had an in-depth review almost as soon as the product was available for pre-order. Both…
