When we first tested out Singular Sound’s original BeatBuddy, we were really impressed with the product and had a lot of fun with it. So when presented with the chance to review its baby brother, the BeatBuddy Mini, we were interested to see what Singular Sound was offering with its new pedal at such a dramatically reduced price.
These headphones try to give you everything all at once for a low price but do they deliver? The Ausdom M05 are wireless Bluetooth headphones with a built in microphone that allows you to take calls. Starting with aesthetics I was impressed with the build quality for the price and they are pleasant to wear with sufficient padding around the ears and on the adjustable headband, the ear pieces also pivot all the way round so you can lay them flat in your bag which is convenient.
Warning! Warning! Before you get yourself all excited about the ANKI Overdrive, and trust me it is worth getting excited about. Please check their website for compatible devices, ANKI have tested and validated iOS versions 8 or higher / Android versions 5 or higher, I have seen too many people giving this product unfair reviews based on the fact their phone or tablet wasn’t compatible so to avoid disappointment please check first.
When you think about hammocks the first image that comes to mind might be a large net hammock hanging between palm trees on a sun kissed beach but lately it has become a growing trend to exchange the traditional tent for a sleep hammock. Norwegians have a wonderful relationship with their countryside and camping is very popular out there so when we received the Norwegian designed Amok Draumr 3.0 hammock I already had high hopes and I wasn’t disappointed.
Our first impression of the WeeRide is that is a wonderfully innovative idea, turning the traditional childrens cycle seat on its head. The WeeRide put your child at the front of the bike keeping the weight more evenly distributed over the centre, allowing your child to see more of the world as you ride and allowing you to see your child at all times.
I make no attempt to hide the fact that we are fans of Waterfield and were excited to get a look at their new Staad Attache bag, available in 3 specific sizes, iPad Pro 12.9, 13" MacBook Air or Surface Pro 4, although purposefully built to these dimensions they will also accommodate cases and some keyboards. It features the military designed pull tab clasp that we have come to know and love making quick access a breeze, the two front pockets are angled as such for easier and faster access also and can house up to an iPhone 6s Plus or similar.
Continuing with the Tribesports brand we also had the pleasure of testing out one of their thermal base layer running tops, the CoolTouch® thermo yarn technology and the super soft brushed interior traps air next to your skin creating a warm layer but without adding any extra weight or bulk. The material also absorbs sweat and regulates the bodies temperature as well so you stay dry and warm throughout the workout.
After having to rub nappy rash cream into unmentionable areas of my partner I persuaded him to try some running tights, he reluctantly agreed and the humbly priced Tribesport Running tights seemed as good as any to start out with. The running tights are made from a stretchy, sweat-wicking, polyester which doesn’t restrict movements, they are designed to fit closely to the skin to naturally reduce chafing and to keep you warm whilst strategically placed mesh helps allowing the skin to breath at the same time.
The Sensei is an ambidextrous laser wireless gaming mouse created for high performance gaming on the PC and Mac and uses the latest technology to deliver the same award winning performance of the wired Sensei tournament-grade mouse. The Sensei performs incredibly and I would go as far to say when we tested it wirelessly we experience zero lag, it uses 1000 Hz, delivering a 1ms response time, as well as a high speed, proprietary 2.4 GHz wireless solution that is optimized for high data throughput and allows for exceedingly low latency the Pixart ADNS 9800 l
Sphero 2.0 comes to us from the same people that created Ollie and we fell head over heels in love with him so we were excited to get our grubby paws on the original product. Sphero 2.0 is a tough polycarbonate ball that is propelled by an electric motor and controlled via Bluetooth from an app on your smartphone or tablet, it has an inbuilt LED light for playing in low light and can travel up to speeds of 4.5mph.
