Targus, a leader in laptop cases and mobile computing accessories, today released its latest collection of EcoSmart® laptop bags at CES 2020. Made from recycled components, the new Cypress EcoSmart Collection is certified by Global Recycled Standard (GRS) and aims to reduce the number of plastic bottles destined for landfills by utilizing them in the bag production. The bottles are cleaned, flaked, re-polymerized and spun into fiber that is woven into the fabric that is used for the bags. The Cypress EcoSmart Collection encompasses 33 products, including backpacks, briefcases, sleeves and slipcases, and will be on display at Targus’ CES booth in the LVCC, South Hall, Booth #31147.
The Cypress Collection is Targus’ third collection for its EcoSmart line. Previous collections included the Balance EcoSmart which was named a Good Design 2018 Awards Honoree as Awarded by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies; and the Spruce EcoSmart, which is Targus’ top performing backpack to date. The Cypress EcoSmart Collection improves on previous designs by incorporating more recycled materials into the bags, but also tracking those materials through the GRS program.
“Sustainability is complicated. There are a lot of companies making claims – but they can’t back it up. For us, it’s really important that we do it in the right way,” says Joanne Sessler, vice president of global design and innovation, Targus. “By being GRS Certified, we are able to trace the yarn fiber back to the recycling system it came from as well as the people who were making the yarn. So, we know the entire process of the material’s production and know that it is being made as sustainably as possible.”
Targus merges form and function in the new Cypress Collection. The collection marries a sleek and sophisticated style while packing in protective padding to ensure the laptop is protected. To give customers a great experience, backpacks and briefcases include padded and ergonomic shoulder straps; water bottle holders; and trolley straps for rolling luggage. The Cypress EcoSmart Collection will begin rolling out in April 2020 and ranges from £18.99 – £69.99.
Alongside the new Cypress EcoSmart Collection, Targus is continuing to update and expand its existing ranges. At CES 2020, Targus is showcasing new products and designs for its Newport Collection of contemporary laptop bags and Urban Collection, a new contemporary line of backpacks for the urban worker. Additionally, Targus continues to expand its range of technology accessories with updates to its tablet cases, cables, adapters, peripherals and universal power solutions.
Products will be on display at Targus’ booth in the LVCC, South Hall, Booth #31147.

The Tronsmart Spunky pro True Wireless are much similar to the recent pair of Spunky Beat we checked out here and all for the better and like I said before this company offers good tech at low cost prices which is welcome and ads up to the competition which certainly bodes well for the consumer at the end of the day.
These come in a circular charge case this time around and have USB- C charging and wireless charging which is a real bonus and you will get around 3-5 hours use off one charge it will take around 1.5 hours or so to charge the case fully and up to 14-15 hours of extra use more from the case which looks cool and has the swivel top head with a small release button on the rear.
Build quality is again good with a similar look to carbon but more square looking but still looks good and takes the plain look away like the industry standard we tend to see at this price range. The earbuds are light,fit great and for me have not been an issue,came loose and give a decent level of isolation too which is good,there is no audio passthrough or auto pause though but that is ok at this price for me. You do get nice audio prompts when connected and disconnected and this is handy.
You cant use these individually but on one side you can once the other earbud is placed back in the charge case the right side remains connected but the left does not so this is a similar feature with many and it may differ what size remains active, however once not place in the case they both remain on and can be used separate but people always ask for what happens if one side is placed back in the charge case and this is what happens here.
Controls are again similar to before with ease of use and given the smaller surface they worked fine though your thumb memory will work this out after some usage just like any other earbud of this nature, You have power on/off with a long tap,play pause or answer call with one tap either side which is good so no confusion here,previous track tap 3 times and skip is tap twice. Volume up is two taps and volume down is three and all on the left side. You also have voice assistant available which you hold for 2 seconds,this will take getting use to as you might power them off there is little between the two functions.
Sound quality is good overall considering the price decent volume level some bass and generally play well across all instruments and genres etc you will be pleased I think they are not the most bass driven our loudest I have tested but the balance if fair and there is a slight lag latency notable at times but minor and you are talking half a second here which is not uncommon by any stretch.
Bluetooth range is on par here to once you are in a direct line or open space I noticed no break up issues in my house which is a new build but often causes issues with some earbuds so in general around 30-35 ft which is fine. Battery life is on par too however this depends on the individual here where battery life is shorter when used max all the time which I do.
