The Skullcandy SLYR Pro Wireless headphones are their latest headphones for avid gamers who want that bit more than just a plug and play option as these come with extras and an app to give you a more immersive feel to you gaming.
What is an additional benefit here these are cross platform headphones unlike others out there who tend to limit their use case you have choice and not only that can be used as a standard pair of headphones although limited to the controls as they are a gaming headset but the music sounds good and after all it is Skullcandy we are talking about here.
These are comfortable and light and can be worn for long periods of time as gamers tend to do long sessions now myself and my nephew both tested these out for several hours and they are ideal for heavy gamers which I am not nut do some gaming on the weekends when I have time..
You can connect with the USB provided or Bluetooth device dependent and you can use your mobile phone just in case you are wondering, there is simple controls on the headphones on the Left side giving you a volume wheel and power button and sidetone control you also have your I/Os and a mute switch which works by tapping the cup.
The app offers a suite of features enhancing the audio experience with Game/Chat mix Mic Gain Voice prompts and Sidetone you also get an equaliser which is pretty cool and enhanced sound perception you will need to take a hearing test with beeps which is common on Skullcandy products so you need to do this to get the best results.
These can be also used for listening to music too which gives the a kind of hybrid option and you can toggle the EQs to get the best results so overall a decent pair of gaming and music headphones for anyone who likes both that delivers on the audio aspect quite well.
The Ellie Baby Plus, Baby Monitor Pro is an all-in-one advanced AI monitor for babies, well since we have none we will have to use our dog/or me for samples and how it will work it basically does the same thing and is ideal for anyone with a new baby in the home.
These products can be also useful for the elderly in our family and act as a security camera too which is quite handy when you think of it but the sole purpose is to mind your new baby.
Sporting an app to this looks interesting and we look forward to testing the app out and the camera in action too so if you have any questions in the meantime feel free to ask and another thing to note there is an SD card in the box and no monthly subscriptions..
Any questions in the meantime feel free to ask and stay tuned for more and check out some other reviews

The ELECROW CrowView Note is a 14-inch monitor with a built-in keyboard, touchpad, speakers, and microphone. Its all-in-one design simplifies setup, making it ideal for Raspberry Pi enthusiasts, office use, studios, and on-the-go.
Our use case is only USB-C and screen mirroring which we feel is best for our region and indeed it does what it says on the tin, I have to note you need a decently branded USC-C cable for this to work as several would not and you know how cables are these days you get what you pay for.
This simple plugs into your smartphone and the option to screen mirror your phone will pop up on screen and away you go, some apps will not work in landscape mode so be sure to check your entire needs first but for the most it works fine but not Instagram on candybar phones.
There is a simple settings page you can adjust to your own needs and then you can just work away as it was a laptop and a cost effective one, in short this brings your device to the bigger canvas making work easy on the go and of course making it easier on the larger screen and the you can do it in reverse if you wish which makes it great for multitasking.
There is a decent picture here too and decent speakers so for media consumption you are good to go with little set up required and at an affordable price.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 is my first foldable to use long term so to speak and is certainly a beast of a mobile phone in more ways than one.
Being a foldable this is still regarded as a niche product however at the beginning I was not a fan of the closed option due to the ratio but over time this grew on me and some slight adjustments made it easier to use and all was good but still on the thin but all the screen was reachable for me as I have big hands and they often get in my way.
The price of these phones to has come into question and even for me I find it a hard sell but if you want a powerhouse phone that opens into a device with screen estate like no other this is perhaps the way to go and is easily the best phone now for multitasking on the go or at home and when fully loaded with your apps and even apps on board the device this is a super productivity tool.

When closed it is on the thick side but when open it is not but here is another caveat to get used to is that it is hard to hold one handed and you find yourself hitting things on the screen but again this wears off once you get comfortable with it and get to grips so to speak.
Whilst on holiday for example was a good idea to start putting features into test so with maps and more and the interpreter using the big inner screen was an instant advantage, everywhere I took it people asked about it and the watch ultra so it was good to see people had interest in it.
Being a foldable of course the interpreter could be used in two ways as seen below on the big screen.

Of course AI is part of the package here and people are probably sick of it and as a tech guy I do not have much interest in it but you cant avoid it being honest and it should be embraced a bit more and of course this was tested as it is not new on devices now and much of what the S24 Ultra had to offer and more is now here at your fingertips.
Circle to search works well, Flex mode which is super handy and a better hinge this time,detailed notes, photo assist, live translate etc all worked well when I was testing away and at home and came in handy when on a recent holiday as language barriers still exist but not with this phone and it picks up speech pretty much on point all the time it is super cool and made life easier and got me some discounts I might add.
Photo and video would be another question people have asked about and again all good here, I will not bore you with specs and so on we did a walkthrough of the phone here and below is image and video samples taken with the phone and you can be the judge but i found it great overall and with photo assist and other features built in this is a portable editing studio too and again ideal for content creators who want the larger canvas.
Being the 6th iteration the phone has improved and is probably still the best and most solid one out there but the price is a key factor to consider with the competition out there which most of is not available here to be fair..
Overall for me this is a luxurious powerhouse of a phone that gives you real screen estate and ideal for those who are multitaskers and want the bigger canvas with great speakers you could even attach a bluetooth keyboard if you liked to make it even more special and almost close to laptop status depending on what you do, it grabs attention looks good does what you ask it to do and more..
If you are now sporting the new Galaxy Line of products such as the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 you might want to get that device protected as nothing comes with it in the box which is annoying considering the cost of the phone outright.
They have three new products on offer which we take a closer look at in the video review below and it is in your interest to get them in my book because if you drop the phone it will be a costly fix and that is the last thing you want.
Their new Bridewtown case is pretty cool to start with protecting most of the exterior bar the fold part when closed however the front and rear of the device is well protected and you get additional grip too which is great due the phone being much larger in the hand when opened.
All ports are accessible as expected and you can still wirelessly charge the device with the case on but seems to work with the stronger wireless chargers only.
The keys work well and no issues noted here when using and no infringement when folding the device open or closed so for me it is a safe bet and worth the purchase.
The lens protector for the rear too is well worth the purchase as I have cracked a lens on an iPhone in my pocket before and since then get these for all devices when available and this just sticks on easily and has a better sticking power than others I have tested in the past.
The screen protector comes with an install kit and takes two minutes to install and right away your are good to go with no issues with the outside screen when working as normal, overall the trio is a small price to pay to protect such and expensive phone and you should look into it. The only bugbear here is when the phone is opened you are still at risk if it lands face first.

The Hyper 100W HyperJuice USB-C GaN Travel Charger is a must have for those on the move and not only that even at home it will do just the same.
Build quality out of the box looks solid and it is a solid device in hand with a speaker, tv box shape to it and look well with a white gloss finish, there is several adaptors inside the package so for those who travel you are pretty much covered wherever you go which is excellent and it will all fit into a tech or travel bag easily.
There is 4 ports up front to pick from you do not need to use them all however today people have more than one device and can use them all for and that is a certainty for me be it at home or on the go, this can be also transformed into a desktop charger too.
You can charge laptops too which is good and any USB/USB-C compatible device and of course decent cables, people are under the illusion all cables are the same when they are not but now with USB-C more mainstream things are getting better here but beware of cheap ones on sale.
The top two ports offer 100w charge the third one 27w and lastly the USB A port gives max 18w and has smart distribution technology inside to even out the output.
Interchangeable travel adapters for over 150 countries (US, EU, UK and ANZ) are included, eliminating the need to carry additional converters. Our adapters securely lock into place, providing a more secure solution than adapters that slide over the US plugs.
Having tested this with many devices and many the latest devices to the market and some older ones this had no issue with giving me power on all four ports and none cutting out as often is the case with some chargers offering similar ports, it did not get hot either which is notable.
Overall this is an ideal piece of kit to have at your disposal and for those going on trips or holidays the great thing is less plugs which are annoying and everyone thee days has spare cables at home and of course easy to find no matter where you go, just avoid cheap brands and cheap cables..

The iClever BTH20 kids wireless headphones are one of their new offerings for kids headphones which ads nicely to their line-up of products to keep your kids ears safe rather than handing them your phone or tablet and letting them listen away at higher volumes than they should.
These are very light and comfortable to wear too and even for me and I would wear them no problem, they can be worn for long periods of time and do not sweat the ears you can of course extend the arms each size for a comfortable fit.
The controls are simple to use and there is plenty here, you can play/pause skip/reverse tracks control the volume and take calls if they arrive, there is also an ANC control button on the cup to which is handy and works well.
The sound is good considering these are for kids and no issues there from me with good highs lows and mids and some bass, being a kids pair of headphones they sound good it has to be said with no tinny sound noted on any genre tested or at max volume.
Overall these are ideal for kids keeping their ears in check which I must take note of myself as I like to go full blast on all my headphones and earbuds and perhaps these might teach me a lesson to save the ears in the long run, these are comfortable look well and robust and perfect to keep your kids entertained when on a tablet or phone etc.
