Mangoal Front and Rear DashCam (OEM MG-006C-1BA) Review

The Mangoal OEM MG-006C-1BA is a dual dashcam kit featuring front 4K and rear Full HD cameras, powered via your vehicle’s OBD port rather than the traditional cigarette-lighter cable. The unit comes with a 128GB microSD card, adhesive mounting, and uses the SkyCamm mobile app (iOS/Android) for setup, live view, and playback.

Mangoal, founded in 2013, specialises in OEM dash cams and wireless chargers compatible with over 15+ global car brands and 1,000+ models. Their devices hold CE, RoHS, and FCC certifications.

Installation & App (SkyCamm)

The installation process was more straightforward than expected. Using the OBD connector eliminates the need to hardwire into the fuse box or battery. Cables tucked away cleanly, creating a professional, near-invisible finish — a big plus over suction-cup models.

⚠️ Tip: Always check your vehicle model before purchasing the OBD cable — some cars (e.g., Mazda 6) may require specific connectors.

The SkyCamm app connects via Wi-Fi (not your home network). It’s user-friendly, offering live viewing, video downloads, and configuration for recording resolution, loop duration, and voice alerts. Tutorials show car-specific installation steps, making the setup accessible even for first-time installers.

Camera Quality & Footage Analysis

Testing covered day and night recording on an Android phone (downloaded footage), and viewed on a Windows laptop, and a 55-inch 4K television.
 The front camera produced sharp, true-4K imagery (3840 × 2160 px), while the rear unit, though advertised as 2K, recorded at Full HD (1920 × 1080 px) — still clear but worth noting.

Camera Resolution (H × V) Megapixels Common Name Notes Average File Size (1 min) 128 GB Storage
Front 4K UHD 3840 × 2160 8.3 Ultra HD (4K) Manufacturer spec confirmed 130 MB (TechBuzz Ireland test result) ≈ 16.8 hours
Rear “2K” / FHD 1920 × 1080 2.1 Full HD (1080p) Records below 2K spec 58 MB (TechBuzz Ireland test result) ≈ 37.7 hours
Front + Rear – – Dual recording Combined total 188 MB (TechBuzz Ireland test result) ≈ 11.6 hours

Visual results:

  • Daytime: Excellent sharpness and licence-plate legibility even at distance.
  • Night: Clear and well-balanced exposure, maintaining visibility in low light.
  • Playback: Crisp and stable across devices, minimal compression artefacts.
  • Storage: Efficient loop recording; G-sensor reliably locks collision footage.

Overall, the footage quality outperforms many mid-range dash cams, particularly for the 4K front lens.

 Strengths

  • True 4K front camera delivers crisp, high-detail footage.
  • Clean, wire-free installation using OBD power.
  • Free SkyCamm app is intuitive and feature-rich.
  • 128 GB card included (a welcome bonus).
  • Dual-channel continuous recording with event lock.

Limitations

  • Rear camera records at Full HD, not the advertised 2K.
  • 1-year warranty feels short for the price bracket.
  • Adhesive mount makes repositioning difficult once fixed.

Verdict

The Mangoal MG-006C-1BA dash cam kit stands out for its 4K front recording, discreet OBD installation, and simple app control. While the rear camera isn’t true 2K and the warranty is modest, the overall package offers excellent visual quality and seamless installation.

Based on TechBuzz Ireland’s real-world testing, a 128GB card provides around 11 hours of dual-camera footage before automatically overwriting older files — typical behaviour for continuous loop recording. This is ideal for drivers seeking a permanent, tidy setup with reliable 4K recording.

Maono PD200W wireless dynamic microphone review

The Maono PD200W stands out as one of the most versatile and budget-friendly microphones available for creators, streamers, and podcasters. By successfully merging a professional-grade dynamic capsule with 2.4 GHz wireless functionality, it delivers exceptional flexibility without compromising on audio quality or features.

The “Hybrid” moniker is well-earned, as the PD200W offers a trifecta of connectivity options, ensuring it fits into nearly any recording setup:

  1. 2.4 GHz Wireless: This is the headline feature. The mic operates wirelessly via a small receiver that plugs into your device (PC, phone, camera) via USB-C or a 3.5mm jack (depending on the receiver version). This allows for up to 60 meters of range and is perfect for on-the-go interviews, vlogging, and clean desktop setups.
  2. USB-C Digital: A simple plug-and-play connection to a PC, laptop, or phone, delivering high-resolution 24-bit/48kHz digital audio. This is ideal for streaming and studio work.
  3. XLR Analog: For professional setups, the XLR output allows connection to a mixer or audio interface, offering robust analog performance.

 

Audio Quality and Noise Suppression

The PD200W is designed to capture clear, focused vocals, a hallmark of dynamic microphones.

The 30mm dynamic capsule delivers a clean, intimate sound with strong vocal clarity. It excels at close-miking, which is essential for podcasting and streaming. Due to its cardioid polar pattern and dynamic design, the mic is naturally excellent at rejecting off-axis sound (like room echoes or background traffic). A major advantage is the built-in Digital Signal Processing (DSP) noise reduction, offering multiple levels (Weak, Medium, Strong). Reviewers have found this feature highly effective, keeping the focus locked onto the voice even in challenging real-world environments with noise like heaters or buzzing insects.

The Maono PD200W includes several features that make it a favorite for content creators:

With a claimed battery life of up to 60 hours (and around 38 hours with the RGB lighting active), it’s built for extended wireless sessions or long-duration remote recordings.

The companion software for Windows and Mac allows users to fine-tune their sound with an equalizer (EQ), compressor, and limiter—tools typically found in higher-end setups. It also includes the controls for the multi-level noise reduction. See app screenshots below and video review for more.

The microphone features 16.8 million colors of RGB lighting, which can be controlled via the software, appealing directly to gamers and streamers who want a visually engaging setup.

It supports connecting two PD200W microphones to a single receiver (2TX + 1RX), which is excellent for dual-host podcasts or interviews, recording each speaker on a separate channel for easier post-production.

The Maono PD200W is a near-perfect hybrid microphone for content creators on a budget who prioritize flexibility.

Overall, the Maono PD200W is highly recommended for streamers, remote workers, YouTubers, and podcasters who need a reliable, clean-sounding microphone that can adapt instantly between a fixed desktop setup and a mobile, cable-free recording scenario. It delivers studio-grade clarity without the studio price tag.

Maono App

 

 

Key Features 

  1. Triple-mode connectivity (2.4GHz wireless transmission, USB, and XLR) offering true plug-and-play convenience and freeing creators from the limitations of traditional wired microphones, while providing more versatile connection options than conventional dual-mode mics.
  2. Dual-channel stereo recording – a single receiver connects to two PD200W microphones simultaneously, capturing each signal separately on the left and right channels. This enables independent volume adjustment for each speaker in post-production and eliminates track-mixing issues in multi-person podcasts or interviews.
  3. Studio-grade sound quality – a major upgrade over ordinary microphones, with clarity that rivals the Shure MV7+.
    1. 48kHz/24-bit sampling for authentic, high-resolution sound
    2. 82dB signal-to-noise ratio for ultra-quiet recording with no unwanted noise
    3. 128dB max SPL for distortion-free performance even at high volumes
  4. Direct connection to smartphones, tablets, and cameras – going beyond traditional USB microphones by supporting mobile devices, allowing creators to start from entry-level gear, switch seamlessly across platforms, and reduce time spent on post-production.
  5. Multi-level noise reduction – minimizing environmental background sounds and room acoustics, delivering cleaner and more focused audio without the need for heavy post-processing.

Competitors

VS Shure MV7+

    1. Comparable sound quality to the MV7+, delivering a professional-grade listening experience.
    2. Unlike the wired-only setup of traditional multi-person podcasting, PD200W’s wireless mode offers a cleaner and more convenient solution.

VS Fifine K688 / AM8

    1. Compared to both the K688 and AM8, PD200W delivers more professional sound quality tailored for podcasting.
    2. Unlike these models, PD200W supports direct USB connections to smartphones and tablets, providing broader device compatibility and greater flexibility for creators.

Prices

PD200W (Desktop Stand Version): $99.99

PD200W (with BA37 Boom Arm): $129.99

PD200W (2TX+1RX with Desktop Stand): $189.99

QCY, a global leader in the wireless audio industry, today launches the Crossky C50 Clip-on Open Ear Wireless Earbuds, the brand’s latest innovation in open-ear audio. Designed to adapt, connect, and inspire, the Crossky C50 blends intelligent sound optimization, refined design, and seamless user control, delivering an effortless audio experience for daily use.

Smarter Sound, Perfectly Balanced: Audio That Adapts to You

The Crossky C50 introduces a new era of personalized listening with self-adaptive magnetic contact technology and a symmetrical acoustic cavity, which intelligently balances audio between the left and right earbuds. This innovation enables users to wear either earbud in any ear with ease, eliminating the need to distinguish between left and right. Whether transitioning between daily activities or settling into focused work, the C50 ensures a seamless and immersive audio experience throughout.

Equipped with a dual-layered circular NdFeB driver system and a carbon fiber composite diaphragm, the C50 offers powerful low-frequency extension down to 20Hz and a 40% increase in driving force. With less than 3% total harmonic distortion, it delivers deep bass, crisp highs, and dynamic clarity across every genre.

Powered by QCY’s proprietary triple algorithm suite—including bass enhancement, dynamic audio tuning, and adaptive volume control—the C50 intelligently adjusts sound in real-time to match your surroundings, providing consistently immersive audio whether you’re enjoying music or taking calls.

Further enhancing clarity, AI-powered wind noise cancellation and dual-mic beamforming significantly improve voice pickup in outdoor conditions. A directional acoustic structure also minimizes sound leakage by up to 90%, preserving your privacy in public environments.

 

 

Crafted for Comfort and Built to Endure: The Ultimate Open-Ear Design

Comfort and durability are central to the Crossky C50’s everyday appeal. Built with skin-friendly liquid silicone and a flexible memory titanium wire, the earbuds offer a lightweight yet secure fit for all-day wear. The multi-angle ergonomic structure evenly distributes pressure, reducing ear fatigue even during extended use.

Visually, the C50 balances performance with elegance. It features a leather-textured surface, a metallic star-ring accent, and nano-level electroplated engraving—giving it a sleek, premium aesthetic. Available at launch in elegant Off-White, with bold Black and vibrant Pink arriving soon, the design complements both active and everyday styles.

Engineered for active lifestyles, the earbuds are built tough: With a sealed acoustic chamber and triple-layer waterproof protection (IPX5 rating), these earbuds resist sweat, rain, and intense workouts. With up to 7.5 hours of continuous playback and 35 hours of total battery life with the charging case, the Crossky C50 delivers endurance that matches your pace. A 10-minute quick charge provides 2 additional hours of playtime, ensuring you’re never without sound for long.

Touch, Tap, Go: Smart Control and Seamless Connections

The Crossky C50 simplifies daily use with a smart “wear-and-go” setup, allowing instant transitions between mono and stereo modes. Users can use either earbud independently and re-wear on the move without any hassle.

Touch-sensitive controls allow you to play/pause music, answer calls, or adjust volume with just a tap—no need to reach for your phone. Whether you’re commuting, working out, or multitasking, you stay in full control. 

Thanks to dual-device connectivity, you can stay connected to two devices simultaneously—easily switch between phone calls, meetings, and music. With Bluetooth 6.0, the C50 offers low latency, fast pairing, and ultra-stable performance across the board.

For users seeking deeper customization and enhanced functionality, the QCY App further elevates the experience. The app provides access to preset and custom equalization tuning, touch control customization, battery level monitoring, firmware upgrades, and a convenient ‘Find My Earbuds’ feature. It also enables multi-point connection management, ensuring the Crossky C50 adapts precisely to your preferences and lifestyle.

SoundPEATS POP Clip Review

The SoundPEATS POP Clip has just launched and we had some time to test them beforehand and again with this new clip on ear design I mentioned before we will see more off and this time from SoundPEATS.

The build quality is excellent and robust here as most of these type of earbuds offer a stable hold in the ears some have said on reviewing other similar clip-on earbuds they would fall out but this is not the cas once secured they stay put.

These have an extra benefit over others for some having a button control each side rather than a touch sensitive area giving you more accurate control and less false inputs which is great although thumb memory is key with any new earbuds but buttons do help for some who are not so much into gesture/touch based ones.

Sound is excellent here with the 10.8mm dual  magnet drivers and with the app you get plenty more this time around in the new Peats Audio app which now comes with tracking and gives an audible alert, you can select the controls here to suit your needs and change up the audio with the EQ settings on board we go through this in the video review below and show you what is on offer.

There is an audio test which you should complete to get the best experience it does not take long to do and I always advise this with new earbuds. You also get the choice to have your own custom EQ too which is great but do check out all the other offerings in the app.

There was no lag latency noted or tinny sound when turned up the max which is how it should be and given these do not sit right in your ear canal they still deliver an almost in-ear earbud experience but you also get to hear your surroundings which is good for those who cycle or walk, calls also quite clear to an no issues either end on my testing.

Having tested other products from the brand before the Movie mode is my favourite EQ here so do check this out, another additional feature here with the these left and right sides have automatic adaption so it means it does not matter which side is which when removing or replacing them from the case.

Tech Review – NAVITEL R9 DUAL Front & Rear WiFi Dash Cam – Full HD Compact Car Dash Camera

The NAVITEL R9 Front & Rear WiFi Dash Cam – Full HD Compact Car Dash Camera has lots of features on board and not just a dash cam, it comes with Night Vision, Built in GPS & Speedometer – Ultra Wide Panoramic Viewing Angle – Parking mode, G-Sensor also included when you purchase isa voucher with over 45 maps for around the world.

Presentation is excellent with lots of information provided on the box itself then inside you get all both front and rear camera and an array of cables and mounts to secure the dash cam to your front and rear windscreen.

Installation will take about 15 minutes all in if you are handy at stuff like that and if you are not sure you can get someone that is qualified to do so.

Once setup there is a choice of two apps to use. There is a navigation app which costs to download maps for available regions and there is the app to run the dashcam which we are focussing on here today but we will show you both in the video review below.

The system is easy to set up and get going and then you can change the metrics to your specific needs in the app it is simple to use with a good UI you can download videos and photos from all incidents to your device or plug into a pc at home.

You can also set up easily on the dashcam itself and again we show you this in the video review below so you are aware of what is involved it is not that hard at all being honest.

OK so both cameras do a great job with all the features there to tune in to suit your needs and if you just leave it there to do its job it will, there is some hardwear keys to also go through things on it as we show you in detail in the video review below.

Ensure you mount the cameras both front and rear correctly to get the best video recording it is in your interest to do so to have results when needed.

Overall this is a great dashcam to have and simple to use with a non taxing UI to get through to get things done and we take a much closer look in the video review below so go check it out and let us know if you plan to get one for your motor.

Tech Review – Edifier Hecate GX05 Ultra-Low Latency TWS gaming earbuds

The Edifier Hecate GX05 Ultra-Low Latency TWS gaming earbuds are a product that looks like you would find in a sci-fri film and that is not a bad thing either so for the looks alone they get a ten out of ten there in my book but what else do these have and who are they for exactly.

Ok so out of the box these look great in every respect, the look and feel is screaming premium here and that includes the package in a nice solid hard case with a nice lock thrown in, inside you get your cables tips dust caps and a nice carry pouch to store it all in so another win here.

As described up top the case is one to behold with a weighty feel and a nice solid click everytime you turn it this is a piece of art and one of if not the best cases I have seen to date. Also on the underside of the case is a MFB to control the RGB lights which gives a nice effect, these is also lights on the earbuds which can be turned on/off.

The earbuds themselves are also slightly different with their shape but fit well in the ears and look good there is a decent seal and there extra tips provided in the box there is no ANC here or access to the connect app which is disappointing however these are not aimed at music and I get it but still would of been nice so I will let them away with it this time.

The earbuds as mentioned are for gamers with dual connectivity via BT or the dongle provided in the box went with the dongle route and tested on Xbox PS5 and of course my phone, I am not one to spend hours gaming but when I do I like to have good quality tech to do so and these do well in that respect but also in fairness not so bad on listening to music in general.

You have some controls of course but missing some features again these are features more so related to music you can manage call on them you can also manage the lights the modes, play and pause and skip and reverse tracks which is fine. There is no voice assistant or volume control on them.

On the gaming from they set out what they aim to do putting you right in the game you are playing not missing a beat, you will find it hard to get zero latency on earbuds but we are getting there and these are a step in the right direction.

Sound is great powered by Hi-Res Audio with 10mm drivers on board under the Hecate name which is Edifiers professional audio brand for gamers and a new one to me too, on the music from highs lows and mids all came across fine and some bass in there there was no latency on audio on listening to my usual test tracks the audio was crisp and clear and you do have modes to change the audio like gaming and music mode, On a gaming front as mentioned it is excellent putting you in the centre not missing footsteps directional sound and so on making it an enjoyable experience overall.

The QuickStart guide is clear in terms of clarification on the flashing lights and touch controls but does not contain a handy  QR code but does give a website setup link, A TechBuzz uses a modern dual sim phone, this had issues connecting to the App  – Urbanista Audio app.  When connected to an iPhone connection to the app was instantaneous. Once connected the multipoint option works efficiently allowing connection to a phone/laptop.

The supplied charging case will automatically start charging the earphones when placed in the case. In the event of a low battery, a voice prompt is given to advise of 30 minutes of playtime remaining. The earbud’s power is visible on the app and gives 8 hours of playtime, or when plugged in the charging case a prodigious 34 hours of playtime.  The “Battery Status Indicator” (1) will pulse during charging and continuously lit when the case is fully charged. • 0-30 % – LED pulses amber • 30-100 % – LED pulses white • 100 % – LED turns solid white.

Conclusion:

The Urbanista Atlanta has numerous positives in terms of features multimode, excellent charging options and battery life, The great features are let down by a measly 1-year warranty from a known brand which should have shown conviction in the quality of their products to give a dazzling warranty.  The charging case while bigger than many used before does the job as necessary.  The setup to an iPhone or used with a windows laptop worked as expected but had issues and had to reset the earphones to get working on an android dual sim phone. The app had additional features allowing the customised approach of the earphones which was logical & easy to use.  The audio Sensitivity and Frequency response is standardised in terms of industry-standard given good quality audio while the microphone for calls did not filter out external sounds as seen on more specialised earphones.  Overall this is a set of earphones with a wealth of features and benefits for customised use with a good quality audio experience.

This product is launching beside a US based product which is a 9 in 1 SuperDock which you can see in the link below but we are here to talk about this pocket sized little smartwatch charger which is super cool and does more than it says on the tin after our testing.

This can charge most Samsung watches and Apple watches and also the Google Pixel watch and not only that is does also charge my years old moto 360 smartwatch which is pretty old by today’s standards but it still works and I still love it and wear it from time to time but now I wear either my Google Pixel Watch Apple watch or Samsung smartwatch and it works on all of them which is great and as we know battery life on these is not the best in the world but with this little gadget you can plug it in anywhere and even a power brick and charge all your watches and it also charge the Apple Airpods Pro 2 which we do not have here.
