Sennheiser have long since been renowned for their high-quality audio equipment, so we had high hopes for Momentum Free.

As a keen, but slow runner, I prefer to hit the road with some music in my ears to motivate me and keep my pace up. The issue however, is that the area I live in has some very busy roads and some rather questionable characters, so not being able to hear the traffic and weirdos makes jogging (especially at night) a risky business.

WOW create a whole host of water based inflatable fun, the majority of products being things you have to grip onto for dear life whilst being pulled along the water by a boat, any crazy outdoor party needs to be accompanied by some awesome tunes and WOW have got you covered.

The Classic DAB+ Portable Radio with Bluetooth is a low budget digital radio that can also function as a speaker to stream audio via Bluetooth, Aux or Micro SD. The box includes the radio and USB charging cable.
