Reviews of all the latest gadgets and technology
Another day another true wireless earphones review. This time from Edifier, the audio brand that is well known for their active 2.0 and 2.1 speakers. Most of their products are on the affordable end of the spectrum, and the TWS1 are certainly one of those at just $ 49.99 when you buy direct from Edifier…
Annke is a popular, affordable IP CCTV brand that you can buy on Amazon. They generally sell their hardware as a system and you can pick up four of these cameras, an 8-channel NVR and 2TB hard drive for £489.99 on Amazon with an option for an additional £56 off. Alternatively, you can buy this…
With more routers, mesh systems and access points launching with Wi-Fi 6 it finally looks like the new super-fast Wi-Fi standard will go mainstream in 2020. The Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 was announced back in April last year, and I reviewed that back in June, as well as the Killer Wi-Fi 6 AX1650 based on…
I haven’t done many powerbank reviews recently, because once you do one, all the others are the same. I can’t think of any that have been bad, so as long as it meets your specs and is well priced, you should be fine. 20,000 mAh battery packs are ubiquitous, and it is my goto size…
The Anker sub-brand eufy has a quickly growing line of robotic vacuums. I have reviewed two of them before with the Eufy RoboVac 11 and then the Eufy RoboVac 11s, functionally they were both the same but the S model slim lined the robotic vacuum and improved its vacuuming abilities. Neither were app controlled. The…
I have previously reviewed the EnGenius EWS357AP Dual-Band WiFi 6 PoE Access Point and then the EAP1250 access point, both of which need an Engenius SkyKey or Ezmaster server to enable the centralised cloud/LAN management. In my review of the SkyKey, I highlighted that you could enable remote management by integrating it with the free…
I had given up with cheap earphones from Amazon, it is not so much that they are bad, they are normally pretty good for the price, but quite often the bass isn’t quite there, or at high volumes, there can be some harshness. I mainly use this type of earphone in the gym, so I…
Ajax is another new contender in the smart home alarm industry. The system has a wide range of features and accessories, and it is contract-free, with optional monitoring services. They are not very well known in the UK, but several professional CCTV companies have started to stock them and they appear to be an excellent…
Realme had an amazing year in 2019, after becoming officially established in 2018 as of November 2019 they had a 14.3% share on the Indian smartphone market. The brand officially launched in the EU with the launch of the Realme X2 Pro and all the devices I have reviewed from them have been superb, representing…
Announced back in May, the Asus ZenFone 6 should have been one of the most popular phones of the year with its attractive price point, flip-up camera and monstrous battery life. You can buy it from Amazon from £519.99, but the lack of any network seller or other major UK retailer shows how woefully marketed…
As much as I love my Garmin Fenix 6 and other multi-sports watches, the wrist-based optical heart rate monitoring is poor. The accuracy will vary a lot depending on placement and the activity. For me, with things like cycling and rowing, accuracy is poor to the point of being useless. Generally, for things like rowing,…
I have waxed lyrical about the benefits of mesh Wi-Fi systems for home users this year. When I first implemented a mesh system it resolved all the issues with black spots around my home and avoided the issues of running multiple routers from different brands. As much as I love mesh Wi-Fi, on the constant…
