Review by Matt S. Razer has a reputation for making robust hardware for serious, if not competitive, gamers. The company seems keen to break away from that typecast a little, however, with its latest set of headphones, the Razer Adaro Stereos, being quite clearly aimed at more general consumers. I…
Read MoreReview by Rob P. The perimeter is secure. The gate is locked and bolted. All residents are on high alert. At some point, I’m expecting a courier to collect my borrowed Stellé Audio Pillar and return it to the manufacturer. I’m not going to make it easy for them. They…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. So many enthusiast keyboards deliberately aim for an aesthetic that tells people “I’m here for the hardcore gamer, so if you’re not one, go away.” Industrial metallic greys and a form factor designed to take as much space as possible combine to create something that by…

Read MoreReview by Rob P. This could be a candidate for the shortest review ever. Here are the essentials: the Wahoo Fitness Blue HR is a heart rate monitor. It’s accurate and reliable, and the software is excellent. It’s reasonably priced. There’s no reason not to buy it. That’s all that…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. The Braven 850 (and its ruggard counterpart the 855s) are bricks. They are weighty, unassuming little boxes that also happen to house some truly incredible noise making speakers. These things are designed to be taken out and about to picnics, the beach and BBQs, but I…
