Review: [FUSE]chicken Titan M Tough Micro USB Cable

To me Micro USB cables are a consumable product. Maybe I’m overly careless or charge too many gadgets, but I’m lucky if a cable lasts me 6 months. Eventually they go wonky and only work for a few seconds when bent into some weird position. As a result of a Kickstarter campaign, [FUSE]chicken have developed their Titan range of tough cables for Android and iOS and were kind enough to send me one of...[Read More]

Review: Choetech 10A QC 2.0 Wall Charger

This wall charger consists of a small black box with 6 USB sockets on one end. There’s a universal 2-pin “figure 8” AC power socket on the other which connects to the wall via the included cable (as commonly used by many other electrical appliances). The shell of the unit is made from high-quality matt black plastic which looks great and is perfect for coping with the knocks and bumps these charge...[Read More]

Review: August EP715 Noise Cancelling Earphones

Noise cancelling earphones tend to be expensive, but August have been able to include this feature in their EP715 earphones at a very reasonable price. These metallic in-ear earphones come well packaged along with instructions, an Apple Lightning adapter and a special micro USB AAA power bank. You don’t get any alternative sizes of ear tips, which is very unusual even for the very cheapest earphon...[Read More]

Review: August MS515 Bluetooth Speaker Pair

Most Bluetooth speakers we encounter are either mono, or have stereo speakers squeezed together in the same small box. However if you prefer a little separation in your stereo then August offer these pair of separate speakers for around the same price as many mono speakers. When you open the box of the MS515s you find a couple of triangular wedge speakers, instructions and a few cables. While the ...[Read More]

Review: Plugable Bluetooth Folding Keyboard and Case

For the last few days, I have been using the Plugable Bluetooth Folding Keyboard and Case. I’ve use a few of these in the past year, so I’ve had some experience with them, and was delighted at the opportunity to try out another one. Here’s how my experience has gone, so far. I want to say at the outset that this keyboard has a lot going for it. The design of this keyboard is pret...[Read More]

Review: Hi-Tec Trek Go Activity Tracker

We’re probably all aware that the major technology companies want to sell us a smartwatch, but not everyone is ready to part with the significant cash required to buy one. If you just need the fitness tracking functionality then you can get cheaper bands like the Fitbit or Nike Fuelband. Most recently sports gear manufacturer Hi-Tec has entered this arena with their Trek range. Hi-Tec gives you th...[Read More]

Review: Verbatim Nano 32GB USB Drive with Micro USB Adapter

We’ve reviewed quite a few different flash drives that (as well as having a standard USB connector) plug directly into the micro USB port of your Android device allowing you to expand the storage or transfer data via OTG. Verbatim used to be a big name in old school removable media such as floppy disks and writable CDs and DVDs, but I haven’t heard their name in a while. It turns out they’re still...[Read More]

Review: Shoulderpod S1

For me 2015 has been the year we’ve really seen a major leap forward in Android smartphone cameras. The performance of many high-end handset shooters is finally good enough that most people won’t feel the need to carry a separate camera. Have said that, the smartphone experience still lacks some of the finesse of a dedicated camera. Tripod use is out the window and one-handed point-and-shoot can b...[Read More]

Review: Gear4 Soundwave Bluetooth Speaker

Home audio company Gear4 have their products available from a few major high street stores here in the UK. I was interested to see how their Soundwave speaker compares since I’ve found major chains often charging more for under-spec’ed products, assuming bricks-and-mortar shoppers will be less tech-savvy than online bargain hunters. Build Quality & Design Likely taking their design cues from t...[Read More]

Review: Luxebell Tablet Stand

Tablets can be great for watching videos, but holding them for extended periods or propping them up at just the right angle can be a real pain. What you really need is a good adjustable stand that will hold your tablet up for you at whatever angle you choose. Unlike a lot of the plastic solutions available, this stand from Luxebell is made from sturdy aluminium which gives it a reassuring weight. ...[Read More]
