ONEmicro DECT speakers review
Here’s something I don’t think GadgetyNews has reviewed before – DECT speakers. The ONEmicro speakers have certainly ignored the more oft trodden paths of Bluetooth and WiFi as viable options for wireless transmission – but how do they sound? The ONEmicro speakers use Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT). If that sounds familiar, then look at […]
Netgear Nighthawk X8 review
If you like your router to look mean, have blue LEDs and rock a cool name, surely the Netgear Nighthawk X8 R8500 should be on your list? The Netgear R8500 X8 looked a beast when I first met it back in February. Back then the AC5300 standard router had a curiously wavy top. It now […]
Anki Cozmo is a truly adorable robot
Anki, the makers of the best robotic car game, Overdrive, have taken their robotics skills to the next level with Cozmo. Remember when Tommy said that there was more interesting developments to come? Well, it seems that he meant sooner rather than later. Cozmo the robot is the latest creation from Anki, a Silicon Valley […]
Vodafone Smart ultra 7 review
Remember the Vodafone Smart ultra 6 phone GadgetyNews reviewed last August? Well, they have today released the follow-up. I give you the Vodafone Smart ultra 7. The Smart ultra 6 was very popular and even won awards so the new kid had better have its whits about it. Can the Smart ultra 7 fill the […]
Astro A40 TR gaming headset review
Up until now, all the headphones GadgetyNews has had to review are from a purely musical point-of-view. As gamers have equally specific requirements we have the Astro A40 TR headset and amp bundle to test. The Astro A40 TR headset comes bundled with the MixAmp Pro external soundcard and can also be customised thanks to […]
Dali Menuet bookshelf loudspeaker review
After my review of the Dali Rubicon 5 floorstanding loudspeakers I was asked if Danish Audiophile Loudspeaker Industries had anything smaller and a little more kind to the bank account. So, I asked if I could take the Dali Menuets for a spin. I really enjoyed my time with the Rubicons – they suited my […]
Samsung launching folding phone next year
Now, here’s a test. Who here can remember the Samsung Foldiplay from 2013? Well, It’s folding smartphone rumour time again! Granted, this fold-up tech could well be the biggest mobile technology breakthrough since the invention of the touchscreen but we have already seen Samsung and LG come up with concepts only to be thwarted when […]
Lumigon T3 phone packs night-vision
LG’s phone has bolt-on bits, Huawei has loaded theirs with 3 camera sensors so where else is there to go? How about night vision? That’s the route taken by the Lumigon T3. GadgetyNews has been keeping an eye on Lumigon through their goods. The T1 had remote control skills, and the T2 had B&O audio. […]
Devil Volt charger review
Do you remember the Devil Buds earphones GadgetyNews reviewed recently? Looking for more devilment? Here is the Devil Volt power bank. Do you find that your regular power bank lacks in the horn department? Never fear as EMIE has done it again and added more devilment to what are, and let’s be perfectly honest here, […]

BenQ GW2270H monitor review
BenQ certainly have a monitor for everyone. Here at GadgetyNews we’ve reviewed a few high to mid spec screens but it is now time to check out something more entry level so we give you the GW2270H. It is easy to get excited about the latest gaming panel or 4K display but not everyone needs, […]
Tascam TrackPack US-2×2 review
Home studios have always been popular but it’s only really over the past 10-15 years that they have actually been in the reach of most people. I remember getting my first tape 4 track recorder but, since the cost of a digital set-up such as the Tascam TrackPack US-2×2, has become affordable and the knowledge […]
Huawei MediaPad M2 10.0 review
The Huawei MediaPad M2 10.0 is set up to be the Chinese company’s challenger to Apple and Samsung. Huawei have made no secret that they aim to actually overtake those two over the next couple of years. Has the MediaPad M2 got the chops though? Months without a new Huawei device to review and then […]
Huawei P9 smartphone review
The Huawei P9 was launched almost three weeks ago and GadgetyNews was there. Since then, I have been living with the phone that packs Leica camera smarts and no fewer than three snapper sensors – one up front and two around back. Huawei is still trying to win over the Samsung and Apple returning customers. […]
AGON AG271QX announced
You might recall my news of AOC announcing their new line of premium gaming monitors – the AGON series. Now they have released its first model – the 27-inch (68.6 cm) AG271QX. The AOC AGON AG271QX is powered by a high-speed TN panel at a native resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels. It promises ultra-smooth […]
Onkyo DP-X1 claims to be world’s best
The DP-X1 press release makes no bones about it – “Onkyo has launched the world’s best Hi-Res Digital Audio Player, the DP-X1” That’s a lofty claim to say the least but Onkyo must be pretty sure of themselves. As you would expect, it handles all the existing Hi-Res formats you can think of, including MQA. […]
Nvidia JXD S192 portable Android gaming console
I love my Nvidia Shield tablet but what about an Android device that’s dedicated to Android gaming? Well the Nvidia JXD S192 may be the one. Before I start, I realise that there’ll be some of you saying “Hang on, you’ve forgotten about Ouya!” well, I think most other people have too. The Ouya seemed […]
iFit Classic smartwatch review
The iFit Classic combines a fitness tracker with the luxurious and timeless looks of an analogue watch. The iFit Classic is not going to go toe-to-toe with the Tag Connected but I have had a number of positive comments about how it looks. Even better is the astonished faces of those that I then tell […]
Skullcandy Hesh 2 headphones review
Hesh 2 from Skullcandy are over-ear style headphones and, because no one likes getting tangled up in cables, Skullcandy have unleashed a wireless set, which I happen to have here to review. The Skullcandy Hesh 2 Bluetooth headphones are what I would describe as being full-sized cans. You have the option of running these fully […]
Fugoo Bluetooth speaker review
The Fugoo speaker has the ability to dress for any occasion thanks to a range of natty looking jackets. I have been sent the Fugoo Tough along with a Style jacket. The Fugoo (named after Fugu, the rather risky Japanese puffer fish delicacy) is waterproof, mud-proof, drop-proof and shock-proof in its naked ‘Core-X’ format. So […]
Festival proof Griffin Survivor power bank
The new Griffin Survivor power bank has been designed to cope with the most challenging environments and, as anyone that has endured a weekend festival in the UK can attest, none come more challenging. I have certainly done my time in tents at festivals – starting off at Monsters of Rock in the 80s and […]
Manfrotto Lumimuse review
Manfrotto Lumie is a range of new compact, inexpensive, high performance photography lights. They sit below the high-end Manfrotto Spectra range of LED light panels but, as with most Manfrotto kit, would happily suit the prosumer or enthusiast level of photog. My first experience with a light panel came by way of a suggestion from […]
Onkyo H500M headphones review
The Onkyo H500M headphones are part of the latest range from audio makers. With their promise of portability and bringing out the best of your high res digital library, has Onkyo bitten off more than it can chew? These days it’s all about the high resolution, lossless digital audio for those that care about how […]

Chinese manufacturer Cubot Mobile has been working on expanding their empire and, to this end, they have been making their devices available around the world via their website plus other distributors such as the ubiquitous Amazon.

With 14.7 million pixels (5,120 x 2,880), the Philips 275P4VYKEB display has 5K resolution. That’s packing four times as many pixels as Quad HD, and over 50 […]
Tascam Trackpack 2×2 unboxing
The Tascam Trackpack 2×2 landed on my desk last week and, instead of diving straight in to review it, I thought that it deserved an unboxing video first. Yeah, I know it’s been a while since I shoved my face on video and I also know that some would say that’s no bad thing. But, […]
The Indulgence Show – top 10 things to know
You may have heard that there’s a new Hi-Fi expo heading to London soon called The Indulgence Show. But it promises to be more than just another hotel taken over by high-end audio. I have had the great opportunity of asking Vernon Hamblin a few questions about how The Indulgence Show will be a different […]
