Syllable D700 Wireless Sports Earbuds Review

Wireless headphones make a great deal of sense for sports and fitness fans as there's nothing more irritating than getting caught up in the cables and trashing the headphone jack. As a result, Bluetooth headphones are popular with these people, even before Apple took the decision to ditch the stereo socket. Aiming squarely at this market segment are the Syllable

Fitbit ChargeHR Review

On review here is Fitbit's ChargeHR activity tracker, one of its most popular models which provides heart rate monitoring in addition to steps taken, calories burnt and eyes shut. Designed for "active fitness", it's aimed at those people who take control of their fitness level rather than simply walking 10,000 steps. That's me then. On a good day. Let's take a look.

Amazon Kindle (2016) Review

Ebooks and ereaders have come a long way since I first purchased novels from Peanut Press to read on my Palm III. Neither Peanut Press or Palm are in existence today - the former eventually disappeared into Barnes and Noble, and the latter was wasted by HP - but nearly two decades on, ebooks are part of everyday life, largely

Choetech 33W USB-C Car Charger Review

Generally USB car chargers fall into the dull but essential class of gadgets and with today's power-hungry smartphones, they're more essential than ever.  The market's in a state of transition too, with new USB-C and various fast charging technologies vying for supremacy.

SteelSeries Nimbus Wireless Game Controller Unboxing and Setup

But game developers have taken advantage of the device's ability to run third-party apps, and a decent number of games have been produced for Apple's home-media box. I received a new Apple TV as a Christmas gift last year. The stock Siri Remote that comes with the new Apple

Sengled Pulse Solo Review

Last year I reviewed the Sengled Pulse, a pair of Bluetooth-controlled LED lights with built-in speakers. The Pulse pair sounded surprisingly good but were somewhat indiscreet, being big and bright red. For those wanting something a bit more subtle, Sengled have developed the Pulse Solo, a smaller single LED bulb in white and silver that still provides stereo sound. Let's

Archos F24 Power Feature Phone Review

Today's tablet-style smartphones are almost totally ubiquitous but the form factor isn't without problems. Even basic models are expensive, the large touchscreens are easily damaged and batteries have relatively small capacities requiring regular recharges. These aren't big limitations for suit-wearing knowledge workers but for people who spend more time outdoors, a more rugged, longer-lived and cheaper phone can be a
