The reason why you would ever want to get a softphone headset rather than a standard headset (e.g gaming headphones) is for call control via a computer. Standard headsets don't support call control whereas a softphone headset such as the Jabra Evolve2 30 gives you the ability to answer/end calls and increase/decrease the volume directly from the controls that are built into the headset The Jabra Evolve2 30 headset has a total of five physical buttons, all located on the right earcup and all requiring a bit of force to actuate, which is nice. Three of those buttons, which are rear facing, are designed to control volume, answer/end calls, skip tracks and play/pause. The mute/unmute microphone button is front facing, while the mute indicator light is located on the USB connector plug. You will also hear a voice prompt when you mute and unmute the microphone, although the voice prompt volume is low when listening to audio messages and videos on YouTube. The button for answering/ending ...

For as long as there has been hardware and software, there has been modding, including making mods of computer games, modifying cars and even computer peripherals. Keyboard modding, in particular, is a neat way to upgrade a keyboard without buying a new one. If you like the idea of modding and fancy going beyond just upgrading the keycap upgrade, you want to get a mechanical keyboard with 5 pin hot swap sockets like the Epomaker HS84.  The Epomaker HS84 is also a 75 percent keyboard, which means 20 keys have been omitted to make the keyboard smaller than a full size 100% keyboard (104 keys). You can even get smaller keyboards such as 60 percent keyboards and TKL (tenkeyless), which are even smaller with lesser keys, making 75 percent keyboards a good compromise between space saving and functionality. Not all keyboards have swappable switches that you can pull out from the PCB socket. The Epomaker HS84 switches are not soldered on; instead, they clip onto the top plate and connect t...

Featuring a snail-like aluminium casing, the Shanling ME80 earphones look like miniature twin turbochargers. The Shanling ME80 shells are, in fact, very small and have a smooth matte finish that fits comfortably inside the ears. The front plate has a clear bubble like design with Shanling branding embedded in it. More ME80 branding can be seen on the underside of the earphones next to R and L markings. The Shanling ME80 have blue/red color coded MMCX connectors so, you know which connector goes where. Because Shanling ME80 uses MMCX connectors, you don't have to worry about orientation/polarity like you do with 2-pin cables. Also, there is only one type of MMCX cable you can get; hence less confusion when replacing the cable, unlike 2-pin cables which are available in two types: 0.78mm and 0.75mm 2-pin diameters. Because the Shanling ME80 earphones are detachable, you can potentially convert them into wireless by using a MMCX Bluetooth cable (not included). Sound quality wise, the...

Just like the extended display function in a computer, which basically increases the desktop display size of your monitor, Aukey's KM-P2 extended mousepad also helps to increase your mouse desktop space so, you can roam it freely on the desk! The KM-P2 is, essentially, an oversize mouse pad that gives you all the space you'll ever need to move a mouse around. Having an extended mousemat has another benefit too and that is, you can use it like a dinner placemat to protect your desk from scratches, spillages, food stains, etc.  The Aukey KM-P2 has a grippy, non-slip rubber base with a soft cloth surface that is also water resistant so, liquids will bead off the pad, making cleaning spillages easier. The perimeter edges of the KM-P2 mouse pad have been stitched in a zig zag pattern to stop the fabric fraying. The KM-P2 mouse pad feels like it's made of neoprene - the same synthetic rubber material as surfing body suits - but, the KM-P2 mouse pad is actually made of natural rub...
