Page 2 has alternative options including soundbars Following my recent review of the Creative Sound Blaster X4 external soundcard, which has 5.1 output, I thought I would look into the best surround sound speaker options for PC gaming.

ByJames Smythe May 27, 2018April 7, 2026
The Polar V650 bike computer has been out for over 3 years now, but Polar has been regularly updating it, with the latest update including Strava Live Segments, so I have been reviewing it with the Polar OH1 for the past couple of weeks. The V650 is not as popular as Garmin products, but based on…

Bose Virtually Invisible 300 Wireless Rear Surround Speakers Review
ByJames Smythe April 2, 2018April 7, 2026
I reviewed the fantastic Bose Soundtouch 300 Soundbar a year ago, while it is an expensive investment it is one of the best soundbars on the market. It also has one significant selling point over many competing brands; you can expand the system with both surround sound speakers and a subwoofer. Soundbars are a great…

JBL Bar 2.1 Soundbar Review
ByJames Smythe November 21, 2017April 8, 2026
Soundbars have been he the saviour of TV audio in recent years, with TVs getting thinner and thinner, fitting decent quality speakers in them is impossible. With the boom in the soundbar market, most people investing in a decent TV are also looking to upgrade their audio too. 5.1 systems will always be superior but…

I am a bit late to the game with the review of the Garmin Edge 1000 as it was released around 2 years ago. After reviewing the Wahoo ELEMNT I wanted to see what the competition could do, and I also had the Manchester to Blackpool bike ride to do so Garmin kindly hooked me…

Wahoo ELEMNT GPS Bike Computer Review
ByJames Smythe May 26, 2017April 7, 2026
Garmin has dominated the smart bike computer market for years now, but Wahoo introduced their own computer last year, the Wahoo ELEMNT. Priced at £250 this is not a cheap device but it is still less than the Garmin Edge 820 and 1000. A quick summary of the ELEMNT features includes: Integrated GPS Quicklook Indicators…

Bose SoundTouch 300 Soundbar Review
ByJames Smythe March 31, 2017April 7, 2026
The Bose Soundtouch range is a great concept from Bose, you have a traditional soundbar set up but you can expand it to work a bit more like a 5.1 system. Not dissimilar to the way you can get Sonos to work as an AV system. But is it any good? I was only sent…

Nextbase 412GW Professional Dashcam Review
ByJames Smythe November 7, 2016April 8, 2026
This is actually the first in-car dash cam I have ever reviewed, but as you may be aware, it has become a huge market in recent years. In some countries like Russia, nearly every car uses one, so it is strange that it has taken so long to take off here. Nextbase is a brand…
