More and more newer smartphones are being made without an analog output, resulting in having to use a dongle for wired listening. Problem is most USB-C to 3.5mm dongles aren't all that good performance-wise, which makes getting a portable dac amp all much the better. Portable dac amps range from full size desktop solutions to very small ones like the Hidizs S3 Pro, which has a footprint comparable to a microSD card and supports mic input (not all dacs do). The Hidizs S3 Pro has no buttons so, it's a "plug and play" device in the truest sense of the word. The S3 Pro has an aluminium alloy gun metal finish construction made with a CNC injection moulding machine. The front and back panels are textured with circular grooves like an LP record, while the perimeter has a smooth, matte finish. The Hidizs S3 Pro is 1cm thick with a 2cm diameter size. The S3 Pro amp dac is attached to a USB-C metal plug connector via a 5cm long cable. Total length of the S3 Pro (including the ...

"Let's get together and feel all right" is part of the famous chorus of Bob Marley's One Love song. Even if you aren't into reggae, it's very likely you have heard the song because it has been featured in TV adverts and movies such as "Shrek Forever After". Get Together is also the name of the new Duo speakers (seen pictured) by House Of Marley, which is their first bookshelf speakers in their speaker line up. Aside from the strong Marley name brand, the Get Together Duo unique selling feature is wireless connectivity between the speakers since most bluetooth bookshelf speakers are tethered to each other via a wire. The Get Together Duo speaker enclosure is made of vertically laminated bamboo, which means bamboo stalk has been split lengthwise into strips, kiln dried and then sanded before gluing the strips face to face to form vertically laminated panels. This process males the bamboo enclosure dense and rigid like MDF, which is why MDF is usually u...

Most laptops use a 65%-75% keyboard layout so, if you already use a laptop you'll be used to not having a numpad and number row. Laptops are, essentially, tenkeless (TKL) keyboard computers with a small factor. Standalone tenkeless keyboards typically range from 87 keys (80%), 84 keys (75%), 68 keys (65%) and 61 keys (60%). Tenkeyless keyboards save desktop space, making them a great alternative to full size keyboards. The keyboard seen pictured, it's the Vissles V84 - a 75% Mac-inspired keyboard with a qwerty ansi layout. This means, the enter key on the Vissles V84 keyboard is vertically shaped rather horizontally shaped like on a keyboard with an ISO layout. Being a 75% keyboard, the Vissles V84 has a non-standard 6.25u spacebar (4.5 inches long). This important to note if you plan to put newer keycaps because most full keycap sets tend to come with a 6u or 7u spacebar. That said, the stock keycaps on the Vissles V84 keyboard are really nice. They are made of quality PBT dye...

Massive monitor screens, huge speakers and Vegas style RGB lights makes for the ultimate dream gaming setup, although it isn't needed for a fun gaming session! Aside from the gaming platform, you only need some basic peripherals like a headset, which is the bread and butter of any gaming setup. Loud blasting speakers are cool but not realistic when you share a room or house with others. This is why a headset is such an indispensable gaming accessory. Not only you can play games without disturbing anyone, it also improves the in-game experience, letting you hear footsteps and chat with friends online. If your budget is tight or maybe you don't want to spend too much on a headset, there are plenty of options, including the Gioteck TX70, which is budget-friendly and doesn't compromise on performance. The Gioteck TX70 is particularly good because it can be used with or without a wired cable. The TX70 headset comes with a wireless dongle that can be kept plugged in at all times,...

Pyro is the masked pyromaniac character in the video game Team Fortress 2 and, it's also the name of the latest Roccat mechanical keyboard! While it looks a lot like the Roccat Magma membrane keyboard, the Pyro keyboard has a more premium construction and uses TTC red linear mechanical switches with 2mm actuation travel so, you don't have to bottom out the keycap in order to register a keypress. Along with short travel, the Pyro keyboard has a low actuation force (45G), which provides less fatigue and faster reaction times when playing games (e.g. first person shooters). The standard actuation travel for most keyboards is typically 4mm, while some keyboards are equipped with extremely short travel (e.g 0.4mm) Just like the  Vulcan TKL Pro , the Roccat Pyro mechanical keyboard has a ridged volume knob on the top right corner of the keyboard, although Pyro's volume control knob is made of plastic and uses a rotary encoder with infinite travel in both directions.  Unlike a r...
