Cleer Roam NC Review ANC Earbuds With Four Noise Cancelling Microphones

Anyone who is in the market for cute and quirky earbuds are likely to find the Cleer Roam NC very appealing. Roam NC are a pair of anc earbuds without cords, which resemble a pair of mini cast iron skillets. The front of the Roam NC earbuds have "cleer" engraving as well as responsive touch sensitive controls built-in, which only require a light touch to operate.  You don't have to tap on the earbud, which is nice but you can easily trigger it by accident, causing you to accidentally skip audio, which in the middle of an audio book chapter means having to restart the chapter since most audio-books don't let you resume where you left off. Luckily, this isn't too much of a problem with Roam NC because the track skipping function requires a double tap. Touch control functions include play/pause, voice assistant, calls, skipping tracks (next and previous) and ambient sound/anc. By default, the left earbud controls skipping tracks, voice assistant, calls, volume down a...

GameSir GM500 Review Mouse With Onboard Adjustable DPI, Lighting And Polling Rate

As a rule of thumb, heavy mice are best for wrist flicking while lighter mice are best for tracking because of the lower inertia required. Heavier mice can be more stable for aiming but due to the heavier weight the mouse is harder to stop so, it can feel a bit slow when performing large mouse flicks. Overall, a lightweight mouse has the upper-hand over heavier ones because you can lower the in-game sensitivity and still be as quick as a heavier mouse on a higher sensitivity. The GameSir GM500 (pictured) is a nice example of lightweight mouse. It's a honeycomb type computer mouse but, instead of honeycomb perforations the GameSir GM500 has small triangular perforations arranged in a circular pattern across the top and backside of the hump. Perforations extend also to the sides with the right side being entirely perforated, while the left side is only half perforated to accommodate two left side buttons, which are clicky and made of plastic. The bottom of the GameSir GM500 mouse is ...

Feiyu Pocket 2 Review 3 Axis Gimbal With Built-in Camera And LCD Screen

They say that the best camera it's the camera that you've got in your hand at the moment that you need it. Unless you're a photographer though, the best camera you are likely to carry it's the camera built-in to your phone. Smartphone cameras have come along way and are capable of taking footage to rival that of a professional camera but... If you want to capture smooth, professional looking video with a camera you have to use a gimbal like the Vlog Pocket 2 , which massively improves the performance of a smartphone camera. The downside though, it adds extra bulk and weight to a phone. The new Feiyu Pocket 2 (seen pictured), in the other hand, solves that problem being about the size of a chocolate bar with a built-in camera, LCD screen, microphone and speaker. An external microphone can also be attached, although it requires an adapter, which is not included. The adapter can be bought from Feiyu. The Feiyu Pocket 2 weighs 131 grams (173 grams with the protective case) ...

Edifier TWS NB2 Pro Earbuds Review Comparison Against NB2

The Edifier TWS NB2 Pro earbuds are a more refined version of its predecessors - the TWS NB and NB2 - and, it's also the successor since Edifier no longer sells the original TWS NB nor the NB2 model, which is no longer available for sale on Edifier's website. If you're wondering what improvements have been made over the NB2, in a nutshell, the TWS NB2 Pro has faster charging time, better active noise cancelling (anc) performance, quick charge support for both earbuds and charging case, spatial sound mode and AAC support.  Cosmetically, the Edifier TWS NB2 Pro earbuds retain the same look, sweat resistance (IP54) and the thick v-shaped stem and touch control for controlling various functions such as skipping to next track, answering/ending calls, voice prompt and play/pause. Volume control and skipping to previous track are not supported (same as the NB2 version). The touch control panel works well and the sensitivity can be adjusted via the Edifier Connect app. Aside from ...

Blon BL-Mini Review Single Dynamic Driver IEM

The Blon Mini earphones are truly and really eye catchy and out of the ordinary with a miniature replica design of Chicago's famous Cloud Gate (aka The Bean) tourist attraction. The Blon Mini even have the same mirror polishing finish as The Bean but, instead of a bean shape, the Blon Mini earphones have a helical tube shape similar to a cavatappi macaroni. Despite the high polished mirror finish, the BLON Mini earbuds aren't as fingerprint magnet, thanks to a coating that repels oily smudges. On the underside of the body, there is a laser engraved small text that reads "WGZBlon 2014", which represents the year the brand WGZBlon (aka Blon) started. R and L markings are also subtly engraved on the body of the earphones, as well as on the 2 pin connector plugs. The engraving is so discreet though, that you hardly notice it being there. The Blon Mini earphones weigh 6.5 grams each, while the cable weighs 13 grams; hence a total weight of 26 grams, which is 2 grams lighte...
