Maono might just be my favourite “entry-level” sound equipment manufacturer. The previous Maono product that I tested, the Maonocaster E2 A sound production studio, is an excellent piece of kit that looked and felt premium. It has an excellent range of features, and does its job with minimal fuss. I…

As I wrote in my last review of a SteelSeries keyboard, given the nature of my career, having a good keyboard is essential to what I do as a health and safety matter. However, as I am also a very mobile worker, and like to hike my laptop down to…

Without fail, every single one of my kids has picked up the HyperX Clutch Wireless while I’ve been reviewing it, thinking that it was an Xbox One controller. The resemblance is uncanny, and while you could debate whether or not imitation is indeed the most sincere form of flattery, it’s…

Note: Though this is nominally a “for Xbox” headset, it works with PlayStation, Nintendo and PC devices just fine. I’ve even hooked it up to my emulation devices and had a great time. If you look at the Arctis Nova Pro For Xbox website, you’re going to get bamboozled with…

If you think of a Corsair HS55 as a general-purpose, all-day working and gaming tool, it’s hard to be disappointed by it. It’s certainly not a premium headset, but I can see so many uses for this, and indeed I find myself reaching for it more than any of the…

Maono is very much a new kid on the block. This Chinese-based sound equipment manufacturer only began operations back in 2014, but if the Maonocaster E2 A is anything to go by, this company is going to turn some heads. With this incredibly affordable, robust, and versatile combination of production…

Hardware review by Alex Kidman. Blaze’s followup console to the Evercade is a collector’s delight – but also a very good way to legitimately trawl through gaming’s history. There’s a problem with retro gaming. No, I’m not talking the folks that want to convince you that a copy of Mario…

EPOS sure does release a lot of headsets. It was just a few months ago that I reviewed the last Bluetooth-enabled headset from the company, the H3 Hybrid, and I absolutely loved it. Now we have the H3PRO Hybrid, and it’s even better – after all, it has “pro” in…

The Retroid Pocket 2+ is my… 20th emulation console. I think. It might be even more than that now, as I’ve grown to rather love this little hobby and I’ve lost count of the number of the things I have. In the time since I started getting into this hobby…

My Powkiddy X18S arrived today. Touted as the first in the “new generation” of handheld emulation consoles out of China, the device’s more powerful chipset means that consoles that previous devices struggled with (think N64, Dreamcast, PSP and DS) are now within reach. On first impressions the console does indeed…
