The New Bee Z12 RGB Headphones Stand Holder with Wireless Charging is a multifunction stand that can charge several devices at once and looks cool on any desk you can also data transfer if you wish but I can see this being used as mainly a charging device and also decorative for a setup you might have or just starting out with one.
It takes about two minutes to set up and you are good to go and comes with a USB charging cable so you just need to find a plug or spare socket on an existing device or even your own laptop or PC.
Once set up you have all your ports on the back and a power switch that doubles as the RGB light control which you can see how all of this works in the video review below, it gives a nice glow to your workspace or bedside locker for example with all the colours available and breathing light for nice effects.
The headphones stand itself is not wireless charging but you can simply connect a cable to the main unit and charge there, then you have wireless charging which can charge your earbuds and even mobile phones which for me is quite handy at my desk and now shall remain part of my set up to store headphones in review and earbuds as we check out many of them and of course phone cases for existing phones we use.
Overall this is an affordable product with many functions and can keep your desk tidy too and looks well with the RGB lights on, see more in the video below.

The TOZO T12 -Wireless Earbuds/ Tonal Dots are the latest on offer from the brand with whom we have been impressed with since testing their products and their latest addition to their portfolio is a rounded shaped pair or earbuds which will certainly have fans interested in them, not my preferred shape of earbud which I do not mind as I like to have something different they will have people asking about them.
They come in a cool case with an LED battery display on board to let you know what juice is left in the tank so to speak and is hand and I have said it before all earbud cases should have this feature present.
TOZO T12 Tonal Dots – techbuzzireland
The case itself is small and will fit in any pocket and comes with wireless charging which is a win for the wireless charging fans out there. The battery life is also decent and we have quick charge on board too which is another bonus and not only that these come with an IPX8 rating so can be brought anywhere and used anywhere more or less which is not something you see to often given they are waterproof for 30 minutes at a depth of 1 m thanks to a nano-coating inside.
The controls are simple to use and not only that the accompanying app allows you to manage the controls to set them up to your own taste which is excellent. All the features there such as call control in which calls sounded fine in my testing and you have skip and reverse tracks play and pause and of course your voice assistant access. These can be also used individually too which is another nice bonus.
How they sound is what we all want to hear as they say and they sound great and having the access to their app is excellent giving you multiple EQ settings plus adding your own, highs lows and mids are fine with decent volume nice base and in my usual test tracks performed well with no issues to report, no lag latency no tinny sound when maxed out and overall punchy crisp and clear and calls can be included there, the app makes a huge difference and there is a notable difference between preset EQs unlike some other earbuds that have access to such an app.

CRKD, the new premium collectible gaming brand behind the award-winning Nitro™ Deck, announced today the NEO S™ Wireless Collectible Controller for Nintendo® Switch™, PC, Mobile and Smart TV’s.
Combining the streamlined aesthetics of retro gaming controllers with the advanced feature set found in modern day gamepads, the NEO S forges its own path, marrying form and function to create a highly collectible and deceptively powerful piece of hardware.
The NEO S is compatible with Nintendo Switch, yet thanks to advanced Bluetooth® technology, it’s just as at home when used with PC, mobile devices, and gaming via Smart TV’s.
As much a piece of art as a feature packed gaming controller, the NEO S launches in nine distinct designs, including three Special Editions designed by renowned game controller artist POPeART.
To complement the striking design, the NEO S is packed with high-end features. Like the Nitro Deck before it, the NEO S is equipped with state-of-the-art Hall Effect Thumbsticks, providing drift free, precision gaming, and adjustable actuation Hall Sensor Triggers allowing gamers to tailor trigger sensitivity to individual preference.
On the rear of the NEO S, a set of Remappable Back Buttons adds extra functionality and can be programmed for each game at the touch of a button. Don’t like the feel of the Thumbsticks, or feel them wearing out over time? Thanks to quick-swap system of the NEO S, gamers can quickly swap their Stick Tops for different designs and colors, adding an extra dimension of customization and durability.
Equipped with an internal gyroscope, the NEO S is fully motion control compatible when used with compatible Switch games, and powerful, fully adjustable vibration is also included, affording further immersions with compatible games. The NEO S includes a ‘No Deadzone’ mode which turns off the Thumbstick deadzones for more responsive gaming, and CRKD have even included Turbo Mode which instantly transforms any button on the NEO S, adding turbo functionality when gamers need it most.
Every design in the NEO S collection is fully compatible with the CRKD True Collection System App available on iOS™ and Android®, allowing owners to easily register their NEO S to their CRKD collection. Within the App’s interface, gamers can unveil essential details such as the product number and rarity rank. Furthermore, future updates will empower users to personalize their NEO S experience by adjusting settings, including button remapping and setting trigger actuation points, among other customization options.
Lee Guinchard, CEO of Embracer Freemode commented, “Our launch of the Nitro Deck was met with an overwhelmingly positive response from the gaming community, and we’re excited to grow the brand further with the announcement of the NEO S. An ideal companion to the Nitro Deck, we believe the NEO S sits apart from the sea of mediocre controller designs available, presenting a highly collectible product which houses an array of advanced features. We look forward to introducing the NEO S later this spring and to the continued growth of the CRKD brand.”
The NEO S will be available in nine distinctive designs:
Retro Gold Edition
Classic Clear Edition
Atomic Red Edition
Emerald Green Edition
Orange Zest Edition
Electric Pink Edition
Splatter Edition by POPeART
Blossom Edition by POPeART
Junkyard Edition by POPeART
The NEO S Wireless Collectible Controller is available for pre-order today exclusively through CRKD.gg, and is expected to begin shipping to gamers from April 2024.
The SOUNDPEATS Air4 Pro In-ear aptX Lossless Wireless Earbuds is one of the next latest pair of earbuds on offer from the brand we have been testing products with for some time now and continue to deliver great audio experiences at affordable prices which as I always say is great for the consumer with choice and SOUNDPEATS has plenty of choice on their store no matter what budget you might have.
The Air4 Pro might look familiar if you are fan of the brand but they are clean stylish and comfortable to wear at all times and have a nice finish to them as all their earbuds do with a two tone copper accents and glossy Black housing. They have a small stem and of course tips and ensure you pick the right ones to get the best fit and sound and do the adaptive EQ test.
OK so how do these sound them with a pro name attached then are they worthy of the PRO moniker tech companies slap on their products? Ohh yes there is a notable difference here with the Air 4 Pro, The 13mm drives gives great ANC and in fact I tested this beside several noisey items in the house such as my air fryer and it wiped it out completely which was unexpected and for the rest of my test items they just vanished into the mist with sound, Super ANC to get things going here.
Volume is plenty aloud really great bass to be seen here too and if you like bass your in for a treat however there is also the option to use the Soundpeats App to customise things around to suit your needs and the app works well as always with a suite of options to toy around with but the bass is just brilliant here full stop and mixed with the ANC power and volume you can forget what is going on around you which is what I want when listening to my tunes, lets not forget you have normal mode and transparency mode here too and again works great..Also this time around we have in-ear detection built in which some previous models lacked. Call quality also seemed fine both ends during my testing and overall a good conversation to be had and clear.
SOUNDPEATS APP Air 4 Pro – techbuzzireland
Overall with the audio quality these are not to be sniffed at by any means, highs lows and mids fine, not lag latency not tinny sounds when maxed out and for me one of their best pair of earbuds yet I have test, ohh we have more to show you soon so stay tuned for those reviews soon.
The T20 15W 5-in-1 Wireless Charger is a sleek and innovative device that combines the power to charge your smartphone, smartwatch, and earbuds simultaneously, all while doubling up as a digital clock and night light. With a charging capacity of 15W for your smartphone, 2.5W for your smartwatch, and 5W for your earbuds, this versatile charger ensures speedy and efficient charging for all your devices.
But that’s not all! The unique forklift-shaped design adds a touch of playful charm to any space. it will garner attention in your home or office. Say goodbye to messy cables and embrace the convenience of a single, multipurpose charging solution that keeps your devices powered up while keeping you on schedule with its digital clock display and creating a soothing ambiance with its built-in night light. When it comes to charging your phone no matter what type it is that supports wireless charging it will automatically find the right spot and stay in place and after testing on several phones here it is really cool and acts like what it looks like on the inside being a forklift and you can see the component move up and down.
Overall a nice gadget to have in the home or an ideal Christmas gift with the holiday season coming up.
Keeping your space tidy can be a challenge and for me it is a daily one due to my work and all the products around I have in for review and this applies to my work space and my bedside locked which I have some control of as I keep the tech to a minimum there with mostly what is in line for review as for me that includes earbuds and headphones and so on so it is important to have something to minimize the space use and this product fro X/Layout is one to help me out called the X-Plant.
The product is well built and solid and can do multiple things at once and it also has a space for storing your headphones, this part however does not charge them there is also a shelf behind the see- through panels to store small items which is neat and there is two shelves here which can be removed, there is 5 light effects inside this panel too that gives it a nice effect.
You can charge you mobile phones and earbuds and other compatible products which is hand and up to 10watts of power is available, there is then a small branch like structure on the end which is made with quality material and you can hang your keys or smartwatches there, this can be used to hold other products and for me it will be my smartwatches which gives me simple access and walk away and the same for putting them on.
The latest earbuds have dropped from Skullcandy and once again well priced and great earbuds, the latest on offer is the all new RAIL and SMOKIN BUDS and first up we check out the RAIL which are the non ANC version and having said that they have NO ANC does it matter, in short no because once these are tuned up to the max you cant hear what is going on outside anyway. Trust me, these are loud and how I like it
The design is familiar with small stems however we can see inside these at the top which is cool, and being able to see inside our tech is now becoming a bit of a trend these days and perhaps later down the road Skullcandy might give us a totally transparent pair and that would be extra cool if they did but for now we have these to poke our eyes into for now.
Comfort and fit is also fine here and sit well in the ears and look clean and will not budge and after wearing them for some time now out cycling and in the gym they have now budged and stay well put as they say, the right tips though is the key here and once applied they block out much of the outside world which is fine.
Controls work well as expected from the company and always have been consistent with their products we go through all these in the video review below so do check it out and the app which is up next. We once again have access to their fantastic app that allows you to change commands and more by just calling out “Hey Skulklcandy” – insert command here.. And as reviewed before this is an excellent feature and we have covered it in depth before but go over it again for newcomers to the channel and anyone looking for something new, it is a superb feature and you can even take photos by using this app which is Skull IQ.
The app is full of features as you would expect and you can change the controls to suit your needs, the you are best off doing the sound test to get the most out of your earbuds and using personal sound by Mimi and once complete you can later do it again if you wish over time on your profile.
As mentioned you can change the buttons features you have sound aware you have multipoint pairing and EQs built in and you can create your own, the volume is loud crisp and clear and calls also excellent too, when it comes to the audio though is where it is at nice bass highs lows and mids no lag latency no distortion when maxed out either and this is where many earbuds fail when turned up the max in some genres, You have spotify on tap however I you use YouTube music.
Overall these are a super pair of earbuds but have NO ANC so one can only imagine what they are like, with all the features packed in here and decent battery life and the price these come in at they are certainly earbuds to put on your list to check out.Check out the video review for more on the latest from Skullcandy.
