Edifier D12 Review Self Contained Single Bookshelf Speaker

Designed as a midrange alternative to satellite speakers and floorstanding speakers, bookshelf speakers offer a good compromise between size and power. Bookshelf speakers usually come as a twin set of two large units, which can take up a decent amount of space. The Edifier D12 (pictured) solves this problem by self containing two bookshelf speakers into one single unit. Being a single unit, the Edifier D12 takes up less space than the  R1010BT bookshelf speakers . Not only is the Edifier D12 smaller and more compact, it is also more powerful than the 24W RMS R1010BT bookshelf speakers. The D12 speaker unit is capable of up to 70 Watts RMS of continuous power, which is distributed between two 19mm silk dome tweeters (for the treble) and 4-inch mid bass driver (for bass and vocals). Each tweeter is capable of 15 Watts RMS, while each mid bass driver can handle up to 20 Watts RMS. The Edifier D12 drivers are housed inside a wooden enclosure, which has a leather like finish on top and ...

Rinnin Wifi Camera Review Battery Powered

There is something satisfying and empowering when you do it yourself! Installing a closed-circuit television (CCTV) system is one of those DIY jobs anyone can do without having to employ an electrician. This is particularly when it's a battery powered security camera that does not need wiring like the Rinnin camera, seen pictured, which makes installing CCTV a piece of cake because it doesn't required mains electricity or TV monitors to setup. The Rinnin battery powered security camera is equipped with a rechargeable 10,000mAh (3.7V) battery, which charges via 5V/1A and takes 9 hours to recharge. This means, the camera can be powered standalone, anywhere without running cables or using external storage, thanks to internal storage, which supports up to 128GB capacity via micro SD card. Better still, because the Rinnin camera uses standard voltage (5 volts) and low current (1 amp), you can potentially hook the camera to a 5V USB solar panel or an external powerbank, doubling the ...

Roccat Magma Review RGB Rubber Dome Keyboard With 26-key Rollover

While mechanical keyboards seem to be more popular than membrane keyboards, it is a misconception to think mechanical keyboards are better than membrane keyboards! Both types of keyboards have their pros and cons and both work well for gaming, believe it or not! When it really comes to it, the only difference that really matters is the feel of mechanical switches being easier to press. When gaming you can still perform well with a membrane keyboard like the one pictured, which is Roccat's newest rubber dome keyboard with RGB lights and a membrane actuation system. The Roccat Magma keyboard is entirely made of plastic, including the top plate, which is made of semi-translucent plastic that diffuses the back lighting via ten leds located strategically across the keyboard in five different zones. The Magma keyboard has 5 lighting zones (just like the Kone AIMO gaming mouse), which are also independently configurable so, you can make the Magma keyboard multi-colored. The bottom panel ...

Polar Ignite 2 Sports Tracker Review Ignite 1 Comparison

The backbone to all sports watches is the software ecosystem that they run on! This is why the watch ecosystem should be one of your main considerations before buying a watch because not all sports watches have an analysis-friendly ecosystem. If you're specifically looking for a sports watch that is more focused on gym and strength training, the new Polar Ignite 2 is a solid option, thanks to its HR broadcasting feature. The Ignite 2 is complimented by Polar's user friendly ecosystem, which lets you track your training from a specific time frame (not just weekly, monthly and yearly) and, without having to export an excel worksheet. Being the second generation, Ignite 2 brings some new features that you don't get on the  original Ignite , including larger fonts, heart rate sensor mode, watch face color themes, music controls and HR broadcasting, which the old Ignite watch now supports, thanks to Polar's latest firmware update.  Ignite 2 has the exact same exteri...
