Aurvana Trio Wireless 1

Creative’s Aurvana Trio Wireless Headphones Review

Not too long ago, Creative revealed its Super X-Fi technology and began implementing it in many of their new headphones. The Aurvana Trio Wireless is a neckband set of earbuds that promises extremely high audio quality without the hassle of bulky headphones or tangled wires. Neckbands might be the most uncommon type of headphone when compared to typical fully wired or wireless earbuds or traditional over-the-ear headphones, but they certainly have their place. How will the newly-envisioned Aurvana Trio Wireless headphones stack up to the competition? Let's ...

Creative Cam Sync HD Webcam Review

With many computers, monitors, and obviously laptops coming with built in webcams today, it's not often that folks every look online for an actual, standalone webcam device. Unless you are streaming - in which case you are probably using an expensive alternative camera - buying a webcam online might be a bit foreign to you. It's not until you get one - or see a review of one, like ours here - that you realize how inadequate your built in webcam really is, and how much better your experience will be with an HD webcam doing 1080p. Did I tell you that this could ...

Earlier this year, reviews for Hisense's Q8G model of TV began hitting in the interwebs, and it seems as if reviewers have been generally impressed with the model.

While we have yet to try a Hisense TV ourselves - which we hope to rectify soon - went and hunted down some folks who are using these TVs, to get some of their insights.

Creative BT-W3 Bluetooth Transmitter Review

For all of the technological advancements that are flying towards us at an increasing rate, there are still many gaps in compatibility that are glaring when you end up on the wrong side of them. Bluetooth connectivity is one such gap. Even though more and more headsets and audio devices are Bluetooth enabled, it is wild to think that current-gen consoles do not have native Bluetooth functionality. Enter the Creative BT-W3 Bluetooth transmitter, designed to help turn (almost) any device into a Bluetooth capable one, with your choice of codecs. How does it ...

LEGO Super Mario Starter Kit Review

When Nintendo and LEGO partnered up to release some building sets, I was incredibly excited. I had visions of beautifully crafted sets that utilized amazing mini figures. After all, have you seen the Disney Minifigure Collection? It's brilliant, and I fully expected Nintendo to match, or exceed, that line-up. Then the sets were revealed and demoed and my excitement went from a 10, down to a 4. Now that I've played with the starter kit, have my initial thoughts changed? Let's take a look!

Limited Stock as LEGO Super Mario Popularity Soars

When LEGO and Nintendo first announced the LEGO Super Mario line-up of building block sets, I was incredibly skeptical. Instead of traditional LEGO minifigure sized sets, LEGO opted to created more interactive experience with large, chunky character and figures to play with. And from early reviews across the board - from brick review companies to video game review companies - reviews of the toys have been surprisingly good, pushing me to buy up any stock I can! There is one problem though - I cannot find local stock.

Late in June 2020, we had the privileged of reviewing a quality budget microphone from Tonor, which we spoke very highly of. When that was sent to us, the company also included a microphone boom arm for us to look at. Although not compatible with the microphone we reviewed, it is a great arm that will work with most mics you might pick up at retail. Let's take a look!
