Audio-Technica ATH-CK3TW review: Decent, affordable true wireless earbuds

[ad_1] For those touch controls, Audio-Technica put volume adjustments on the left side and track controls on the right. A single tap on the left earbud increases volume while a double tap will lower it. This sounds simple enough, but when you want to turn the audio way down, and you’re in a hurry to […]

Fujifilm X-Pro3 review: One peculiar camera

[ad_1] These simulations aren’t Instagram gimmicks and are often used by pro photographers. If you’d rather not muck around in Lightroom, they’ll give you a great, consistent look, in-camera. If you’d rather shoot with RAW and apply your own looks or treatments, Fujifilm’s 14-bit RAW files give you plenty of data to work with. Below […]

BMW’s plug-in hybrid 745e delivers tech and luxury at a price

[ad_1] The 745e brings some eco-friendliness to the automaker’s high-end sedan via a battery pack that with up to 16 miles of EV range. In combination gas and electric mode, it has a 56 MPGe versus 22 MPG (in gas-only mode). Like most BMWs, the 7 Series is built for speed and to pamper its […]

HP Spectre x360 13-inch review: Stylish, powerful and flexible

[ad_1] HP managed to fit in an IR camera for Windows Hello face authentication. That’s something we missed on the XPS 13 2-in-1, which only featured a fingerprint sensor. The Spectre’s super small camera is terribly grainy and blurry, unfortunately, but that’s the price you pay for squeezing it into a tiny screen bezel. The […]

Battle of the smart screens: Lenovo and Amazon’s latest compared

[ad_1] Now, there are two more models entering the fray. Amazon has unveiled the Echo Show 8 ($130), which lies somewhere in between the second-gen Echo Show and the Echo Show 5. Lenovo, on the other hand, has released the Smart Display 7 ($130), its third attempt at making a Google smart display. Given how […]

LG Gram 17 review: The oversized thin-and-light no one asked for

[ad_1] I also like that the display was really bright and colorful. Images from a sample 4K video on YouTube looked straight up gorgeous. Plus, I could place the Gram 17 on the table in a hotel room, and still clearly see characters from my favorite TV shows from the bed about six feet away. […]

Elektron’s Model:Samples groovebox is $100 off for the holidays

[ad_1] Buy Model:Samples on Sweetwater – $299 The Model:Sample has six monophonic tracks for playing back samples of drums, synths, or anything your heart desires. While its limited on-board sample editing features are a bit of a bummer, its rich and complex sequencer makes sure that things never get boring or robotic. Plus, since it’s […]

The Echo Flex is Amazon’s Alexa gateway drug

[ad_1] Instead of something that looks like a speaker, the Echo Flex is a wall plug that you can fit into any outlet (. It’s fairly small at only 2.8 inches tall and 2.6 inches wide, and it doesn’t obscure the other outlet when plugged in. Since it’s not reliant on taking up any horizontal […]

Google’s Nest Mini vs. Amazon’s Echo Dot: pick your assistant

[ad_1] In use At this point, the capabilities of Alexa and Google Assistant are well known. To quickly recap, you can ask both speakers to control devices in your home, play audio, answer questions, give you info from your personal accounts (e.g., Google Calendar) and link up to third-party services that make these speakers even […]

Jabra Elite 75t review: The leap from good to great

[ad_1] The audio quality on the Elite 65t was… fine. It got the job done, but it lacked depth and could use a bit more bass. Jabra mostly fixed that on the Elite 75t; there’s now ample thump to songs from artists like J Dilla, Com Truise and PVRIS. The company offers a customizable EQ […]
