Posted on 27-Nov-2019 14:21 Reviews, Consumer Electronics
Huawei has launched its FreeBuds 3 wireless in-ear noise-cancelling earbuds in New Zealand and we have a look. And they are so small that just this is amazing on itself. Weighing at only 4.5 g each earbud - and 48 g for the case, it's incredible how much power it packs.

Sony HT-X8500 soundbar review
Posted on 8-Jul-2019 16:48 Reviews, Consumer Electronics, by M Freitas
Nothing can be more disappointing to home entertainment users than bad sound. With few exceptions (mostly on the high-end and cost side) most TV sets have very poor sound when compared to their screen quality (the Sony A1 TVs with their on-screen speakers is one of the top TVs in this respect).

Epson ET-2710 review
Posted on 12-Apr-2019 17:25 Reviews, Consumer Electronics

I was also unhappy with photo printing results on older printers. This changed when I tried the Epson ET-2710.
