Mee Audio X7 Plus Review: Power sound in a small package

Bluetooth headphones are here to stay, especially considering the industry’s latest trend (or at least threat of a trend) to eliminate the headphone jack from major flagships going forward. Lonovomoto has already done so, and rumors are suggesting that Apple may do the same thing. So, it is up to us, the consumers to adapt to this brave new world in whatever way we can. Fortunately, Mee Audio is here to help, in an unobtrusive, yet stylish way. The Mee Audio X7 Plus headphones are a good combination of size and power that will easily get you through your day.The X7 Plus headphones are ...

Verve Ones+ by Motorola review: Truly wire free

Seeing as how Motorola is kicking off the “no headphone jack” bandwagon, it seemed only appropriate that we cover its answer to the jackless phone – a Bluetooth headset. Motorola recently launched its Verve line of Bluetooth headphones and we wanted to take one set for a test run. We’ve been testing the Verve Ones+ for about a week and here is what we’ve found.Once upon a time, a company called Motorola developed a Bluetooth earpiece called the Hint. The Verve Ones+ seem to be the next evolution of that device. These Bluetooth earbuds are tiny, and truly wireless. They also boast ...

Mozo’s leather back makes the Lumia 950 into a whole new phone

The Microsoft Lumia 950 is the highest-end Windows Phone in years, and we’re enjoying test driving it on the way to our full review. But while its Quad HD display, integrated wireless charging, Continuum technology and feature-packed camera are all very impressive, the cladding surrounding those features is … somewhat less so. In a sea of hefty metal and glass phones, the Lumia 950’s lightweight polycarbonate casing seems like a holdover from the Nokia days ...

Lumsing 13400mAh power bank: a reliable solution on the go

Let’s face it: the sexier (read thinner) our smartphones get, the more battery life becomes an issue. Interestingly, smartphone users (and future, potential owners) would prefer a slightly thicker build if that resulted in longer battery life (or even “functional bulk“), but this appears to be valuable feedback smartphone manufacturers are not taking into consideration (props to the exceptions). There’s a trend for thin and light, and, while many don’t care, more and more are hoping ...

LG Rolly review: portable keyboard meets magic wand

One of the biggest obstacles to actually getting things done on a tablet is a lack of a keyboard. Sure the software keyboard is large enough you can actually get pretty good at banging things out, but for many of us, nothing beats the feel of a physical keyboard for tablet computing. This is why the Surface Pro is sold with a keyboard. This is why the iPad Pro is sold with a keyboard. But sometimes, you don’t want a keyboard, or it adds unnecessary bulk to your bag – not good for anyone. Enter the LG Rolly keyboard.The Rolly keyboard is exactly what it sounds like: it’s a keyboard ...

The TYLT Energi Case will keep your Galaxy S6 going forever

The Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge are both spectacular in so many different ways. Both deliver high quality, performance, and a fabulous camera in a package that is also beautiful. It is, by some standards, the best smartphone of 2015. But there is one small thing that keeps it from being our perfect smartphone. And by “small” we mean that the battery is literally too small to keep this powerhouse running.As we mentioned in ...

FurniQi review: the table that charges your smartphone (Video)

BlackBerry. Windows Phone. Android Wear. Samsung. Droid. These are just a handful of the brands that have adopted some form of wireless charging in 2015. Like it or not, cable-free charging is a thing – and you should like it, because it’s awesome. Sure, if you wanna be pedantic about it, there are still wires involved at some point, and its charging rates aren’t yet as quick as a cable can deliver … but the convenience of dropping your phone on a pad (rather than fiddling with a ...

The weirdest thing about the Galaxy Note 5 is its newest accessory

There’s a lot of talk floating around about the latest Galaxy Note. From one perspective, it’s Samsung’s most beautiful phablet yet, porting the top-notch design of the Galaxy S6 to the Note family and bumping some specs in the process. From another, it represents a watering down of an iconic brand once partly known for its no-compromises feature load. We made the case for both sides on the latest episode of the

HTC One M9 accessories review: 2 out of 3 ain’t bad

The HTC One M9 does many things well, but being “active” is not among them. Its IPX3 splash-resistance rating doesn’t cover accidental dunks in the swimming pool; its soft aluminum housing is more scratch-prone than some of its plastic competition; and its cover glass may or may not be the latest from Corning. For those in search of a rough-and-tumble smartphone, there are certainly better options
