Recently, ROCCAT released their new line of headsets - the 'Elo' lineup. Featuring a wired 3.5mm Stereo model, a wired USB 7.1 model and a wireless Bluetooth 7.1 model, the Elo lineup is extremely versatile. As ROCCAT is a brand owned by Turtle Beach (which focuses on PC peripherals), there are a number of Turtle Beach technologies to be found within. We got a chance to try all three headsets and are ready to let you know which one you should consider snagging! 

While I'm apt to always purchase headsets with universal uses - i.e. I can take it with me to work for music, I can play using my Switch, and can have great audio with my Xbox - there are situations were a single headset performs a single feature so well, that I'm fine making the investment in order to have a superior experience. That's where I landed when reviewing the Creative SXFI Theater headset. While it's not as universal as other headsets, when using it via my Xbox One, playing games and watching movies, it was an experience that was a treat to my ears!

Over the past few weeks, we have been using and reviewing the Pixel 4a, our pick for the best mid-market smart phone in 2020. While it wasn't a secret, it was good to see the 5G Pixel 4a today, as well as the brand new Pixel 5.

During their 2020 Made by Google, Launch Night In showcase, Google announced the brand new Nest Audio smart speaker, which will be available in just a little while. While Google has released a number of different smart speakers over the years, it looks like new software will make the Nest Audio the premier smart speaker option this holiday season.

With the initial wave of Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S preorders done and out of the way, fans are wondering what is next...well at least fans who were not able to snag their preorders yesterday. While things in Europe seemed to work fairly well - outside of a few hiccups with some retailers - things in North America were terrible. Sites crashing, carts not loading, and some sites (Amazon) not even listing their preorder consoles until well after the 11:00 AM time that Xbox greenlight the process.

During the rush yesterday, EB Games Australia was active on Twitter, letting consumers know when the Xbox Series X and the Xbox Series S were sold out. And, like in Europe today, it didn't take long for that to happen. EB Games Australia did promise a second wave of preorders would be available today, with delivery still in 2020.

With the release of Super Mario 3D All Stars, we look back on what might be the best controller to use when playing Super Mario Sunshine, part of this fantastic collection.

In August of 2020, The LEGO Group released a brand new group of Harry Potter LEGO sets, which when put together, create a large, connected Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizarding. While most of these new sets in 2020 come with a heftier price tag, when put together, it's both an aesthetic marvel, and a great playing toy. Thanks to our friends at LEGO, we had the opportunity to build Set 75969, Hogwarts Astronomy Tower. Let's take a look!

With the Gen 2 Stealth 600 available soon on Xbox One – and already available on PlayStation 4, we wanted to make sure our initial impressions of the newest generation of the Stealth 600 were up for your pleasure, and once again, Turtle Beach is all about comfort and quality with this sub $100 headset. Comfortable ear cushions that are glasses friendly – really folks, not every company is doing that these days… – fit snuggly on my ears, and…
