Jlab JBuds Lux ANC: Three-minute review The JLab JBuds Lux ANC’s sound is more bass-heavy than most over-ear headphones. It’s something I’ve come to expect with most JLab products and means your mileage will depend on how bassy you want your music to be. JLab is mostly known for its budget headphones and earbuds, but … Read more
One-minute review A high-end wireless gaming headset designed for Xbox, the JBL Quantum 910X falls just short of earning a place among the best Xbox Series X headsets. That’s not to say that it isn’t still a formidable option, however, as it offers an excellent level of comfort that’s backed up by rich audio; it’s … Read more
Final VR500: Two-minute review The Final Audio VR500 are among the Japanese specialist’s most affordable headphones – but that doesn’t mean they’ve missed out on the customary Final Audio attention to detail. The company wants to make the VR500 the default affordable wired headphone for gamers and music-lovers alike – and it’s given them every … Read more
Rebel Moon: Part 2 – The Scargiver is an empty feast. It’s a relentless onslaught of explosions, sci-fi tropes and meaningless exposition that amounts to nothing. And yet somehow it’s still better than the first film in Zack Snyder’s wannabe sci-fi epic franchise for Netflix, Rebel Moon: Part 1 – A Child of Fire. (What … Read more

Whether a bike is designed with weird geometry and wheel sizes or odd features for heavy hauling, every ride can feel unfamiliar. For traditional cyclists who want to haul a grocery store trip’s worth of groceries home … Read more
What the Atom One does do is make things louder—and by default, it makes all the things louder. Tuning is fairly blunt: A lone button on the back of each aid lets you cycle through five volume levels. Since the aids don’t talk to one another, each has to be controlled individually. The units also … Read more
Samsung’s Galaxy M55 is an interesting phone. While not nearly as expensive as the Galaxy A55, Samsung has equipped it with features we don’t see–or haven’t seen–on the company’s mid-range phones. The M55 has a 50MP front camera, a first for any Samsung Galaxy smartphone. It’s also the first mid-range Galaxy phone to support 45W … Read more
Onyx Boox Palma: One-minute review There are plenty of 6-inch ereaders, but there’s nothing quite like the Onyx Boox Palma. It mimics a smartphone’s design, right down to a rear camera, side buttons and a speaker on the top bezel. With an aspect ratio of 2:1 on its 6.3-inch display as opposed to the roughly … Read more
In my mind, GE is a manufacturer of big, boxy appliances. They’re the folks for reliable and relatively affordable stoves and the manufacturers of the monolithic silver Monogram-line fridge that I once carted across town with my brother-in-law.
