Motorola Moto X (2013) Smartphone Review

Motorola's been busy since I reviewed the Moto G back in January, with the Moto X, Moto E and a 4G version of the Moto G filling out their range of smartphones. With IFA on, a refresh of the Moto X is expected very soon and rumours swirl regarding the next Nexus smartphone, the Nexus X (which neatly sidesteps any

Tens Sunglasses Review

This summer I've been feeling uber-cool with my Tens "Real Life Photo Filter" sunglasses. In a classic style, the Tens sunglasses are tinted to give a "an extra burst of colour to your summer" and that they do, with everything coloured that little bit brighter. Everything's richer and more vivid - I love them. Originally, an Indiegogo campaign, I took

Optoma ML1500 DLP Projector Review

The Optoma ML1500 DLP Projector is a stylish ultra mobile LED projector which pretty much does it all in a very neat little package with a good complement of ports, connections and fun tricks.

Sennheiser Momentum On-Ear Headphones Review

I was watching an ABBA retrospective on BBC4 last night and to my surprise, there was Benny and Bjorn wearing Sennheiser HD414s in the recording studio.

On the back of my interview, Libratone kindly sent me a Zipp, a portable wireless AirPlay speaker, to further my education in their products. Let's take a look and a

Roku Streaming Stick Review

Roku's streaming media boxes have been around since 2008, arguably taking the #2 spot behind the Apple TV. This is an impressive achievement considering the absence of a major brand behind the product line. Here in the UK, set-top boxes like Apple TV, Roku, and Google TV have a relatively low-profile: the BBC's iPlayer catchup service is massively popular, but

TP-Link AV600 Powerline Review

TP-Link have been releasing steadily HomePlug Powerline products based on the AV600 standard which offers increased capacity for multiple HD streams. TP-Link have kindly sent through some of their new AV600 Powerline gear for a bit of hands-on testing. Regular readers will recall that I'd previously looked at the WiFi Powerline Extender back in December so it will be interesting
