You can pick up a tolerably good Bluetooth headset right now for just £9.95 and not only make yourself look like a cyborg with the daringly shaped ear-piece but connect the supplied stereo earbuds and rock out to your music from an A2DP compatible phone. I’m referring to the Qstik EVOQ Bluetooth Headset which has [...]

Thursday, July 2nd, 2009Sennheiser CX550 Style II In-Ear Earphones
Monday, June 22nd, 2009Review by Rob Farley The Sennheiser CX550 Style II earphones are your typical, in-ear, noise blocking affair. These noise blocking, sound producing earplugs are loved by as many as they are hated and their form factor is as close as you can get to the Marmite of ‘phones. Most of the “hate it” camp, however, [...]
iPhone 3G Protective DomeSkin
Thursday, June 18th, 2009Do you remember the days when interchangeable face-plates and casing on phones was all the rage? These days, everything from dinky feature phones to behemoth smart-phones flatly refuses to be defaced with cheap market-stall *bling*, but not all is lost. The world of device skinning has exploded into a wealth of online sites. They all [...]
Proporta Universal Emergency Travel Charger
Monday, June 15th, 2009I’ve been using the Proporta Universal Emergency Travel Charger on the odd occasion for a while now. It was a difficult device to actually test in the short run, because you don’t really know if it fits the bill until you have an emergency I-really-need-to-charge-this situation. I didn’t quite get there, but managed to try [...]
Proporta DVD/Netbook Case Reviewed
Monday, June 15th, 2009I’ve thus far resisted the temptation to pick up a portable DVD player favoring, instead, a humble, hand-holdable PMP to pacify a bored, car-bound baby. I picked up the Proporta DVD/Netbook case after seeing it in the results for Samsung NC10 cases, alas it doesn’t actually fit the Samsung NC10 nor any other 10″ Netbook [...]
Griffin iPod iPhone Powerdock
Monday, January 19th, 2009The Griffin PowerDock is one of those products that does exactly what it says on the tin in a largely unexciting but elegant way. Capable of charging either two or four iPods, be they iPhones, iPod Touches or any other iPod product bar the shuffle, the PowerDock is an attractive desktop stand that will consolidate [...]

PURE One Elite DAB Radio Review
Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008The Pure One Elite is a slightly more traditional entrant into our radio review lineup in that it lacks any sort of internet radio capability. If your home doesn’t have a WIFI network then the savings incurred by going with the DAB/FM-only One Elite should surely be welcome. Stylistically the Pure One Elite is clean, [...]
Altec Lansing T612 Review
Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008Amidst the mountain of DAB/WiFi radios we’re covering at the moment, I thought it wise to include a few alternatives. The PURE i10 proved to be an admirable iPod dock, but not so hot for the iPhone 3G. This time I’m looking at a dock that includes room-filling speakers, the very iTouch/iPhone complimentary Altec Lansing [...]
Roberts Robi DAB Radio For Your iPod Or iPhone
Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008Not long after my attention was drawn to the Roberts Radio Robi by a forum post asking about iPhone compatible DAB tuners a review sample has turned up. I popped open the non-welded clamshell packaging of the Robi, unfurled its lengthy cable, hooked it up to my iPhone, said “no” to the annoying dialogue about [...]
