Review: UBSOUND Dreamer On-Ear Headphones

Back in August we reviewed Italian new-start UBSOUND’s Fighter earbuds and came away impressed. Now they have introduced Dreamer wired on-ear headphones and were kind enough to send us a pair to see how they stack up. Build Quality & Design Dreamer have a mostly black plastic shell which makes for a very light headset. This seems to be quality plastic and gives a good impression of durability,...[Read More]

Review: Ubegood Bluetooth Selfie Stick

The modern selfie phenomenon has divided public opinion, with selfie sticks getting banned in some places while worldwide sales continue to increase. I have to confess to being on the negative side of the whole idea – something to do with those “hey, look at me” and “duck face” type posts on social media. However when Ubegood offered to send me one for impartial review I thought I’d give the...[Read More]

Review: iClever IC-BTH02 Bluetooth Sports Earphones

We take our reviews seriously at Droid Horizon and like to let each and every product we review stand on it’s own merits. However, when we received a sample of iClever’s IC-BTH02 Bluetooth headphones in for review they presented us with a bit of dilemma. You’ve heard about the feeling of deja vu – right? Well as soon as I removed these from the packaging, I had a massive slap of deja vu righ...[Read More]

Review: SOWTECH 1m Micro USB to USB / Micro USB Cable

The smartphone in our pocket is really a mini computer that seems to be able to do more and more. However we need to keep it charged up and often need to transfer data in and out. This is where this cable comes in. You probably got a USB to micro USB cable with your Android device, and this will make a great backup / replacement. It will transfer data and charge from a PC or charger just as well a...[Read More]

Review: Garmin nüviCam Sat Nav with Dash Cam

Specialising in GPS technology the name Garmin should need no introduction to any tech enthusiast. However when it comes to car Sat Navs, we at Droid Horizon have a passion for Android devices and tend to look to Google Maps for our navigation needs since it comes free with our phones. Even when you factor in an integrated dash cam, can the dedicated Sat Nav experience really be worth the addition...[Read More]

Review: Seidio DILEX Pro Case & Holster for LG G4

We’re approaching the end of our reviews of LG G4 cases being considered for the round-up feature of the best, but I’m happy to say that the DILEX Pro case from Seidio has a few tricks up it’s sleeve that certainly make it a worthy contender. The DILEX is a dual-layer case with the inner TPU layer having a “Hexguard” honeycomb texture that provides additional cushioni...[Read More]

Review: Vena vArmor Case for the LG G4

We’ve reviewed a few Vena cases for the LG G4 but today it’s the turn of their vArmor case which boasts CornerGuard technology. The vArmor is a unibody case that slips easily onto the G4. If you look closely at the photos you’ll see that the corners are raised away from the back of the phone which isolates it during a drop. The back of the case also has four small feet that lift ...[Read More]

Review: iClever IC-BK03 Foldable Bluetooth Keyboard

While road warrior writers have traditionally carried a notebook or laptop, if you’re already carrying a tablet (or even phone) then adding a Bluetooth keyboard may be enough for your needs. If it’s really portability you’re looking for then how about a keyboard you can fold up and stick in your pocket?   Build Quality & Design The IC-BK03 has been constructed with an ai...[Read More]

Review: Kinzd Waterproof Cellphone Pouch

Some manufacturers are now making waterproof smartphones, but these models usually come with some compromises and unless you work in water or regularly engage in watersports then water resistance probably isn’t top of your list of features when choosing a new phone. That’s where the Kinzd waterproof cellphone pouch comes in – a one size fits all solution that allows you to seal your precious...[Read More]

For travellers it’s pretty much essential to have a portable external battery that will extend the usage time of their gadgets on the road. However choosing from the wide choice available can be difficult. Kinps offer external batteries with a choice of black or white in a range of capacities. This is a review of the 13000mAh black version. Most manufacturers have settled on the portable lon...[Read More]
