Meet the new Nexus devices
Meet the new Nexus devices and other products announced today We thought it would be a good idea to pull together all the info from today’s big announcement and have it in one place that’s easy to digest. Although, most of what actually was revealed was leaked like crazy, which, for me, kinda spoiled the event. There must be some loose lips at Google nowadays because the info from yest...[Read More]

Review: DBPOWER BA-700 Bluetooth Hands-Free Car Kit
Most of my music listening has gone wireless thanks to the use of Bluetooth speakers and headsets. However the one domain where I was still rocking it old school was in the car, where I still listen to my MP3 CDs. DBPOWER’s car kit is an inexpensive solution to wirelessly connect your phone to the in-car audio, but is it just an awkward workaround or actually any good? The BA-700 consists of...[Read More]

Review: Syllable D50 Bluetooth Headset
The Syllable D50 is a mono Bluetooth headset which is very small (5cm long) and light (9 grams, allowing it to be comfortably worn for extended periods of time. Coming in a choice of black or white, the D50 has a compact shiny plastic shell with a clicky on/off/call button, micro USB charging port, volume rocker and an earpiece.

Review: iClever IC-BTS02 Bluetooth 4.0 Speaker

Review: Solememo SE90 Bluetooth Speaker
It’s can be difficult for manufacturers to make their products stand out and this is especially the case with the cut-throat Bluetooth speaker market. The shade of orange that Solememo have used with their SE90 certainly helps but does it deliver much else to make it stand out? Build Quality & Design The cardboard box packaging is a mile away from the stylish presentation of some premium produ...[Read More]
Review: Soundpeats QCY QY7 Sports Bluetooth Headphones
You mightn’t have heard of the Soundpeats brand or their parent company SoundSoul audio, but if their budget QY7 sports Bluetooth headphones are anything to go by then brand recognition doesn’t count for a great deal. Build Quality & Design Each tear-drop shaped earpiece has a glossy black plastic shell accented in a choice of colours – black, red, blue, yellow or green (pictured), and c...[Read More]
Review: Sennheiser Momentum M2-IEG In-Ear Headphones
In the past we’ve praised the few audio companies that have removed their Apple shaped blinkers and produced wired headphones with in-line controls that are Android compatible. The failure of Android device manufacturers to completely agree on a standard has made doing so more complicated than it need be, but the Android market share is becoming impossible to ignore. It’s therefore no ...[Read More]
Solememo S530 Bluetooth Sports Headphones Review
Bluetooth headphones come in all shapes and sizes and to suit most budgets, but when I see a pair costing £17 / $28 then I start to hear warning bells. However Solememo have managed to bring a pair of sports headphones in at this price point which turns out to be a pleasant surprise. Build Quality & Design Available in black, red or white with chrome accents the S530s have a glossy plastic she...[Read More]
