Review: iClever BoostSound BTS-04 Bluetooth Stereo Speaker

This compact water resistant speaker has an aluminium shell with matte black plastic at the top and bottom. It has a fairly slim design which delivers audio from its dual 5W speakers. At the top there’s large rubberised buttons for power, pairing / answer call, play / pause and volume / skip tracks. In the box you also get a wrist strap, an instruction leaflet plus Micro USB charging and 3.5mm aud...[Read More]

Review: iClever IC-BTH07 Bluetooth Sports Earphones

This sports headset comes in a cardboard box along with a short micro USB charging cable, instruction leaflet plus spare large and small sized ear tips. The headphones consist of two individual black earpieces with flexible ear-hooks, connected with a flat rubberized green cable that runs along the back of the head or under the neck. I found them extremely comfortable right out of the box – ...[Read More]

Review: Shanshui Detachable Wallet Case for the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge

When you write for Droid Horizon you end up reviewing quite a few of these wallet style cases. They all have a similar design with a fold-over front cover and pockets that hold a few of credit cards and some notes. There are pros and cons compared to other kinds of case, but for me the innovative design of this case addresses all those cons. While it’s not genuine leather, it is really nice qualit...[Read More]

Review: Choetech Q3-4U2Q 50W QC 3.0 6-Port Wall Charger

Back in March we reviewed Choetech’s Quick Charge 2.0 wall charger and came away impressed with the fast multi-port charge it delivers at an inexpensive price. Choetech haven’t been resting on their laurels and less than 6 months later they’ve responded to some of the latest phones adopting Qualcomm’s QC 3.0 protocol with a compatible charger. At first glance there’s very little to differentiate t...[Read More]

Review: Choetech B617Q 10400mAh QC 3.0 Power Bank

When you open the Choetech B617Q’s cardboard box you find a fairly compact external battery, an instruction leaflet and strangely a USB Type C cable. This is useful for charging any new USB-C gadgets, but not as an input cable to this power bank. However I have more Micro USB cables than I’ll ever use, so for me this was a welcome change. This power bank has a nice black aluminium shell that shoul...[Read More]

Review: EC Technology USB Type C to USB 3.0 Adapter

The 2015 Macbook, Chromebook Pixel and some of the latest Android phones have adopted the brand new USB Type C connector which is reversible, can carry more current and transfer data more quickly. However chances are you still have a lot of accessories that use older USB connectors. That’s where this nicely made adapter from EC Technology comes in. It converts one of your USB-C ports to the full-s...[Read More]

Review: UBSOUND Orchestra In-Ear Earphones

When I heard UBSOUND have a new pair of budget earphones available, I was curious to see how they stacked up against their higher end Dreamer On-Ear Headphones and Fighter In-Ear Earphones (which I’d reviewed in the past). These both had impressive audio performance, but I’d expect more than a few compromises with their new Orchestra earbuds since they have a very reasonable £20/$24 price tag. Alo...[Read More]

Review: iClever IC-BTS03 Bluetooth Speaker

iClever’s IC-BTS03 waterproof Bluetooth speaker comes in a cardboard box along with an instruction leaflet and both micro USB and 3.5mm audio cables. It’s a fairly small speaker coming in at just under 4” wide, and has a square shape with speakers located at the front and back. The control buttons are along the top, with ports behind a rubber seal along the side and a standard 1/4″ tripod sc...[Read More]

Review: Rock Jaw Audio Clarito Wired In-Ear Headphones

We’ve previously reviewed version 1 and version 2 of Rock Jaw Audio’s Alfa Genus headphones that include interchangeable tuning filters, but today we’re taking a look at their Clarito in-ear headphones for those who have no need of such things and would prefer to save a few bucks. Inside the box along with the headphones you get a drawstring pouch, an instruction leaflet and spare silicone small, ...[Read More]

Review: Coocheer CH-242 7500mAh Rugged and Waterproof Power Bank

We love our power banks at Droid Horizon as they’re a great way of charging gadgets on the go. But what about when you’re going a little further off the beaten track? Will your favourite external battery survive getting thrown around? How about getting wet? Coocheer’s CH-242 has a 7500mAh lithium-ion battery embedded inside either a blue or silver aluminium shell that’s finished off with anti-shoc...[Read More]

Review: iClever BoostCube IC-TC04 4-Port Wall Charger

iClever have released a range of USB power bricks under the BoostCube brand name, and when Ryan reviewed three of the US variants (2-port, 3-port and 1-port QC3.0) he was happy with their performance for the price. However the more ports we have on our chargers the better we like them, so today for our UK readers I’ll be checking out the 4-port version designed to fit our 3 pin wall sockets. This ...[Read More]

Review: EC Technology 5200mAh Power Bank

This handy little 5200mAh power bank comes packaged in a cardboard box along with an instruction leaflet, drawstring carry pouch and a short Micro USB cable. It’s both light and portable – coming in at under 4” long. I’m not sure how necessary the carry pouch is since it has a rubberised shell that seems like it will handle a few knocks and bumps. The ports also seem well made and I’d expect...[Read More]
