Meze Rai Solo Review MMCX Detachable IEMs With 9.2mm Drivers

One probable reason many of us keep buying headphones is to attain the never ending quest of falling in love with the music we love, all over again! Accurate sound is the magic ingredient that makes you discover sounds you never heard before and in-ear monitors (IEMs) are pretty much the best in the business for precise sound reproduction. Shopping around for IEMs can feel a bit like being a kid in a candy store because of their quirky shapes and colorful styles. Case in point are the Meze Rai Solo - a stunning pair of silver pearl looking IEMs made out of polished stainless steel, which is nicely complimented by blue and red color markings on the nozzle tips. Compared to other Meze earphones like the  11 Neo IEMs , the Rai Solo are a step up in the right direction. The Rai Solo stainless steel shell is made using metal injection molding, which adds a true premium build quality since many IEMs tend to have a plastic chassis. Having a metal body can be a trade off since metal i...

Edifier G4 TE Review Esport Gaming Headset with Unidirectional Mic

The game is not over until it is. And, more often than not the game can be over before it even begins when your headphones aren't up to scratch! The G4 TE are Edifier's latest gaming headphones designed to emphasize positional audio in games (i.e. footsteps and bullet whizzes) for games like Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege (R6 Siege) and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CSGO) where anticipating your opponents' position from their footsteps gives you a distinct advantage. If you're a series esport player though, you should check out the  GM3SE  - a true esport gaming headset! The G4 TE boom arm microphone is detachable and has a twist lock connector plug to secure the connection to the headset. The boom arm measures 13cm long, weighs 9 grams and, it integrates memory wire so, it stays bent at any angle you want. The microphone housing integrates a 6mm electret capsule with a unidirectional pickup pattern, which is uncommon since the vast majority of gaming headsets u...

JAM Audio TWS ANC Earbuds Review

Jam Audio knock it out of the park, yet again, with an affordable alternative to Apple AirPods - the Jam TWS ANC earbuds! Each TWS ANC earbud is designed to provide a runtime of 7 hours with anc turned off and 50% volume and 6 hours runtime with anc turned on. The included charging case can store up to 17 hours of power, giving you the ability to recharge the earbuds at least four times over. The anc microphones are located on the touch control area, which is located on the outer shell of the earbud where the Jam logo is etched on. The anc microphone has a feedforward setup (mic on the outside); hence it's liable to picking up wind noises. Overall though, the active noise cancellation microphones work well at blocking out most ambient noise and buzzing type noises (i.e. desk fans), as well as muting and muffling television volume. The touch controls have superb sensitivity, which is responsive, requiring only subtle touches without any tapping whatsoever. Control functions include ...

Devola 20L Dehumidifier Review Quiet Compressor With Laundry Mode

Being the polar opposite of a humidifier, the Devola dehumidifier (pictured) does the exact opposite of a humidifier by removing moisture from the air rather than adding to it! A dehumidifier is ideal for situations where humidity in the air is naturally high like in a basement room, flooded house, lake house or shed. A dehumidifier is also useful for bathrooms, damp walls, cars and even drying clothes. The Devola dehumidifier  comes with a Laundry Mode, which turns the Devola dehumidifier into an air drying machine. There is no heating mechanism though; hence the Devola dehumidifier internal blower only blows out room temperature air. There are two ways to transport the Devola dehumidifier by lifting the unit using the rear handle or rolling it. There are four small double caster wheels on the bottom of the unit (one on each corner) to help move the unit around, which is helpful, although the wheels slightly struggle to rotate on carpet due to the small, low profile size...
