The INNOGO – PowerBeat – Mini Wireless Charger Stand Magnetic Bluetooth Speaker is a cool new speaker to hit kickstarter and it offers more than just really good sound even with just one of them but if you have two of them you can turn things up a major notch and easily fill a room with stereo sound and nice bass.
Not only can you fill a room with sound these speakers also act as a magnetic holder meaning you can place the speaker on your compatible device and use it to place your phone in vertical or horizontal mode and if your phone does not have magsafe there is a magsafe ring you can attach to your device in the box and a lanyard strap.
These Powerbeat speakers are also pocket friendly so they can be put in a pocket or a bag even your trousers/jeans pocket and not only are you bringing sound with you, you are also bringing a device that can charge your phone earbuds and watch in this little compact gadget, what more could you ask for.
To make it even better you have RGB lights here to to give off a light effect too which is cool and many small speaker like this do not give this effect so when you look at this package in its entirety it is certainly something that should be on your watchlist if you want some new cool tech.
Check out the video review below for more and see what you get and how it works.

The Samsung Galaxy Ring is the latest innovation from the company and something most of us are not familiar with when it comes to rings so to speak there is only a handful of them out there and perhap with Samsung after launching one others now may follow suit.
I am a watch guy but not so much a Ring guy you could say and many asked me what is the point of this in the first place which I get and when I told people the price they just laughed and said hey Jim your smart watches pretty much do the same thing which again is a fair comment.
The ring itself looks cool but looks plastic with lights on it like you see on the back of your smartwatch however it is on the thicker side and when taken off at night as I do not wear a ring or watch to bed religiously and kind of defeats some of the purpose for me getting sleep activity and you can still feel it on your finger hours after removing it which was annoying for me, I also have to mention there is a notch on the ring which tells you the right side up so to speak but continuously had to adjust it.
The case it comes in is cool though which also acts as the charger for it, the battery life is good and overall should you require to keep the case with you on travels and so on it is small like an earbuds case and can easily fit in your pocket or bag.
If you are not a Samsung device user you are missing out on features this is nothing new these days with products being tied to an ecosystem which I get but for other users who do not like being tied in your are at a loss here particularly iPhone users who are ruled out altogether I used my Google Pixel 9 Pro for testing.
The ring is great for getting stats daily and at night when I do not wear a ring and will offer suggestions and you can fill in some items yourself which for me always has been annoying like your water intake for example after a week or two you have a good idea of what is actually going on and can see if there is any growing concerns you might need to get checked out.
What does it actually offer you though?
Pretty much what your smartwatch does and it has an AI powered health tracking it has auto detection for those who are into running or walking which is mostly my thing and some cycling. Again though it is limited device depending you can download an extra app though you will need to download the Galaxy wearable app and Samsung health app to get the most out of it.
You can monitor you heart rate blood oxygen levels Sp02 levels sleep and skin patterns and so on and whilst mostly accurate at times it was off compared to my Pixel watch 3 and watch ultra 2. You can also find your ring if lost which is handy via blinking lights.
This for me a a niche product for now and perhaps if the device was unlocked to more devices and outside the Samsung Eco System would serve them more and get more users on board who want less screens to look at which is another intended feature of this which is a good thing by the way as we are all to much stuck with heads in screens today be it a watch or phone.
Overall it is a good start to some extent but shooting themselves in the foot in another with the other competitors out there some time now but I get their point keeping it all in on ecosystem like their earbuds for example but this will probably change over time not just with Samsung but with others keeping them tied down.

The steelseries Arctis Nova 5 wireless headphones are for the more serious gamer and a multi platform headset for those who have more than one way to game at home.
This is a comfortable headset to wear for long periods of time so for the hard core gamer it is one to look at being light and no clamping effect on the head when gaming for hours no matter what console or device you use.
Out of the box you have quick switch wireless toggle between 2.4GHz and BT 5.3 now there is also a slight difference in audio here between the two but the presets on board will surely please anyone and there is lots to choose from and they are a really customizable. In the box you also get a dongle which makes all the difference here when moving between consoles etc.
The battery life is excellent here too and ideal for the gamers who do long sessions which many do, not my case however it is nice to know I have that endurance there when required. There is also fast charge here where 15 minutes charging gets you 6 hrs more time and up to 16 hours on a full charge.
When it comes to sound the gamer folk is in for a treat not only this the casual music listener is too with the settings on board and has all the basic controls you need for both think of it as a hybrid headset more tuned to the gamer but for music you are fine.
These give you an immersive feeling with their Neodymium Magnetic Drivers create an ultra-detailed soundscape of clear highs, pinpoint mids, and deep bass as they have claimed and for me a winner for those who want a real immersive gaming experince no matter what console you might use or phone which is where I tested on thoroughly and some gaming on my consoles that gather more dust due to time constraints but that is changing as we will be looking into more gaming peripherals this year and have some ready to review so stay tuned.

The Pamu Fit New Edition are a welcome upgrade to the previous version we did last year offering better sound than before with a stand out design moving away from the typical style of earbuds we see.
At first look you might think these may not fit, they are on the larger size but these fit better than one would expect and they are very secure and can be worn in the gym or for jogging etc.
There is no app here however out of the box they sound great being honest and a perfect tone of deep bass with it so for bass lovers these should be on your radar.
The touch controls work really well with a large area to work with so getting the commands works perfectly every time and saves you activating the wrong function this I like and how all earbuds should be.
You can skip and reverse play and pause tracks change the volume and have access to your voice assistant and of course call management.
Also on board is ANC modes and game control giving you a complete set of features and all you need for your earbuds on the go.
With their 13mm drivers they pack a punch and the ANC is decent too up to 20bd highs lows and mids all fine no tinny sound or lag latency noted and after going through my test run of music etc I am happy with how these sound and the price point here and can recommend them easily.
You also have good battery life here and 6 hours on one charge and up to 18 in total so overall a really good product here for the money.
Features
Upgraded to Bluetooth 5.4
Advanced Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) technology, up to 20dB noise reduction
The iClever Kid’s Bluetooth Air Conduction Headphones OWS01 are their latest product on offer for kids who like to music knowing their little ears will be kept safe.
Now being kids headphones I am keeping it as a kids product to review and it has to be said the audio is great on these with no lag latency or tinny sound from them maxed out which is of course limited.
They are light but robust and will last and I like the two tone colour here on offer there is three buttons in all here two for volume controls and skipping and reversing tracks.
There is a MFB which will play and pause manage calls and allow you access to your chosen voice assistant which is also handy given the kids will never use it, but then again.
The fit is nice and these can be worn for hours the 14.2mm drivers pack a decent punch here and your kids will be kept entertained and not only that they will be able to hear their surroundings too which is a very important factor to consider.

The TOZO NC9 ANC Earbuds are one of their latest on the market and now come with some new AI features since AI is the buzzword but it actually works quite well be it via text or speaking whilst having them in your ears.
The build quality it great and kept simple as always with TOZO and the fit nicely in the ears and with the right tips they will not fall out or budge.
These earbuds require taps to get the commands out and work really well and the earbud controls can be changed to suit your requirements.
There is no wireless charging here or auto play and pause so if these are things you require you may check out others from the brand but this is no huge deal with the audio quality you get here which is the most important factor for most.
The controls work really here and TOZO have been consistent here too we go through this in the video review below.
With the audio in mind yet again it is excellent and up there with more expensive brands out there at a fraction of the cost and there is a huge suite of EQ modes built in plus a community there to pick from and get suggestions, you have several noise cancelling modes here to which is also great including wind reduction mode and leisure mode all these can be changed by a tap too.
The sound is excellent and you will not be disappointed either feeling central and immersive when you turn the volume up and with the level of EQ settings you are in control, highs lows and mids are great excellent bass and no distortion or lag latency noted in my usual test run I was impressed yet again considering the cost factor here.
There is a latency mode built in for the gamers and works well when it comes to the audio so for the gamers you are covered here too.
You now also have AI built into the App whereby you can either type or ask a question which is handy this worked on most occasions and can only see it improve over time.
TOZO APP now with AI

The Dreame H14 Pro Wet and Dry Vacuum is a one stop shop for keeping your floors clean in the home or office and is now on offer with their Christmas sale now on.
Over the last few weeks I have been testing this out at home and this is not only for use at home but in the office if you have flooring and it does a superb job and brings them up like new.
With a companion app you have more control too allowing you to to select different modes and speeds as you will see in the video review below. There is also a digital display on top of the unit giving you information and works parallel with the app. You can remotely self clean and dry and change speeds with the app.
The unit itself is well built and simple to use and set up it is mainly plastic keeping the overall weight down. The handle has several controls making life easy and the tanks are easy to remove and put back on which is great the same for the roller too, there is a cool light on the roller which can be turned off but it is best to have it on as it picks up the dirt you cant see whilst hoovering the floor.
A great feature about this is the lie flat option which means you can get underneath furniture like presses and tables and chairs and saves you having to move them around which is annoying.
There is 5 cleaning modes here so you are not short of choice and there is a suction mode this also gets right to the edge of your baseboards and walls which many conventional offerings can’t do.
Running time may vary however this will depend on how you use it and overall battery life for me being around 35- 40 minutes is enough to get all my floors done.
All round the Dreame H14 pro brings some new innovation and features if you are invested in such products and want something new and offers allows you to get the job done efficiently and saving you time with the features on board.

Features
All-Arounder for an Unparalleled Cleaning Performance
The H14 Pro is the perfect solution for cleaning large areas. Thanks to its improved battery capacity (6 x 5,000 mAh), it has an impressive running time of 40 minutes, which allows large living spaces of up to 300m² to be cleaned without interruptions. The H14 Pro also comes with a generous 880ml water tank.
With its 180-degree flat design, the H14 Pro offers enhanced manoeuvrability, allowing easy cleaning under furniture and around tight corners. This stick vacuum can compress to a height of 14cm (8.5cm with the brush head) and boasts an impressive suction power of 18,000Pa, effortlessly removing even large particles.
The innovative Liquid Separation Motor™ ensures powerful cleaning, even when the vacuum is parallel to the floor, and prevents the backflow of used water for smooth operations during intensive cleaning sessions. Powered by a high-speed motor (14,000 RPM), the brush rotates an incredible 520 times per minute during wet vacuuming. This speed ensures that the floor is thoroughly cleaned and streak-free.
In addition, its dual edge cleaning function means the brush head penetrates deep into corners and along the baseboard, combating dirt and deposits. This design can be used to clean the edges of the walls and corners to give hard floors a spectacular shine.
Effortless and Effective Cleaning with the H14 Pro
The H14 Pro utilises 60°C hot water to remove stubborn liquids in as little as five minutes. The dual-rotating brush prevents hair tangles and keeps the brush cover clean, which after washing, uses 60°C hot air to dry the brush, minimising the chance of odours and bacteria.
There are two drying modes that users can choose between. In super-speed mode, the brush dries within five minutes and is then ready for use again. Alternatively, there is a quiet mode for users who prefer a more relaxing atmosphere while cleaning, drying the brush at lowered decibel levels within an hour.
Unlock a World of Personalised Control
Users can customise their cleaning via the Dreamehome app in which they can adjust the output of the cleaning solution, the suction power, and the water flow according to their preferences. Users will also be notified about upcoming maintenance. Additionally, the H14 Pro has an LED display, voice control and LED lighting in the brush head to make dust and dirt more visible.
