Review: J-Bonest Surge Protection Power Strip with USB
I never seem to have enough power sockets, and even when I do they’re usually filled with individual USB chargers to power my various gadgets. That’s where this UK power strip from J-Bonest comes in. Not only does it turn 1 UK mains socket into 4 surge protected sockets, but it also gives you an additional 4 USB charging ports. This trailing socket has a thick cable and heat-resistant plastic shel...[Read More]
Review: iClever BoostSound BTS05 Bluetooth Speaker
iClever have released a new range of BoostSound Bluetooth speakers just in time for the holidays, and the first we’re taking a look at is the BTS05 which boasts two powerful 10W speakers, a passive subwoofer, IPX5 waterproofing and a 12 hour battery life. The unit itself has a 7.5” oval bar shape and has been coated in a black rubberised TPU material which is grippy and seems fairly rugged. Three ...[Read More]
Review: Esynic Mini Wireless Keyboard and Trackpad
I’m a big fan of those Android TV boxes that connect to your TV allowing you to run apps and stream all kinds of media. However they usually come with a terrible button remote which makes using them really frustrating. It takes ages to cursor around making selections, and they’re a nightmare when it comes to typing. I’d been using an air mouse which is much better as it lets you point at the scree...[Read More]
Review: EC Technology Bluetooth Sports Headset
After reviewing a pair of Bluetooth earhook earphones from EC Technology around a month ago, now it’s the turn of a second slightly different pair. They have a similar earhook design, include the same accessories and have the same audio performance and battery life – they even cost around the same. As they’re so similar, rather than rehash the previous review, I’ll link to it here and point ...[Read More]
Review: 1byone Backlit Mechanical Gaming Keypad
Mechanical keyboards use separate switches underneath each key, requiring a certain amount of pressure and giving a relatively loud click when activated. While they are relatively expensive compared to ordinary dome-switch keyboards, some gamers swear by their responsiveness and durability. If you think about it, whenever you’re playing a game you have one hand on your mouse and only actually use ...[Read More]
Review: Leeron IPX7 Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker
If you’re looking for a Bluetooth speaker then the choice can be overwhelming, but if waterproofing is important to you then this model from Leeron is definitely worth checking out. The IPX7 rating means it can handle being submerged in up to a metre of water for up to 30 minutes which certainly beats a lot of the splashproof speakers we see around this $30 price range. It comes packaged in a card...[Read More]
Review: EC Technology USB Solar Charger
I’ve always liked the idea of solar products but as we don’t get a lot of sun where I live and in the past I’ve been disappointed with their performance. However I thought this solar charger was worth checking out since the technology has been advancing and it has 3 fairly large panels that offer up to 23.5% efficiency and up to a 5V 2A charge from its two USB output ports. The 3 panels are sewn i...[Read More]
Review: EC Technology Bluetooth Earhook Sports Headphones
This sports headset from EC Technology comes in a cardboard box along with a micro USB charging cable, instruction leaflet plus small and large replacement ear tips in case the fitted medium size doesn’t suit your ears. The headphones consist of two individual earpieces with flexible ear-hooks, connected with a flat rubberized cable. The ear-hooks were very comfortable and did a good job of keepin...[Read More]
Review: EC Technology Qi Wireless Charging Pad
This charging pad from EC Technology lets you charge any device that’s compatible with Qi wireless charging. The oblong pad is a decent size suitable for larger phones as it’s just over 6” long and 4” wide. It also contains 3 coils which means it’s a lot less fussy how you position your phone. It has an acrylic glass and aluminium build that gives it a premium feel compared to a lot of the plastic...[Read More]
Review: iClever BTH06 Bluetooth Sports Headphones
This black Bluetooth headset comes in a cardboard box along with an instruction leaflet, a short micro USB charging cable and loads of different sized ear-tips and ear-hooks in case you prefer them over the fitted medium sized versions. The headphones themselves have two earpieces fitted with flexible ear-hooks, each with a matte plastic shell. They are connected by a thin rubberized cable that ru...[Read More]

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]
