Archeer A320 2.1 Portable Bluetooth Speaker Review

Everywhere you look people are bringing their music with them. And so the audiophile market follows the trend of portability with the ever increasing pressure for higher fidelity sound and longer battery life. Audio company Archeer has taken it one step further and introduced a portable speaker product that pleases the eyes as well as the ears.

I received an email from Archeer to see if I would review their A320 2.1 Channel compact wireless home stereo system.  I have to be honest, without knowledge of the Archeer product line I wasn’t sure what to expect. I decided to do a blind test and just base my review without product knowledge, company history, or price point; just the company name and model number.

A few days later an Amazon box arrived at my door.  Inside the shipping box was the Archeer box with the A320 nestled inside.  While unpacking the box the first thing that struck me was the sheer beauty of the bamboo covering of the speaker.  The soft and warm look of wood is evident throughout my house so the A320 would be a perfect fit for any room in my home.

We weren’t able to fully demo the new box for an in-depth look yet – that will happen soon – but here are our initial impressions from the London unveiling.

Pathos In The Groove review

Audio & Video,

What does it take to make a top class phono stage? Great sound is a given, of course, but we also want easy cartridge matching, low levels of noise and excellent build quality. Pathos’s In The Groove delivers all these things in style.

The job of a phono stage is arguably the hardest of all in amplification. These units deal with very low-level signals – in the order of millivolts –  from a turntable, and amplify them by a factor of a thousand. Even the smallest distortions or added noise caused by the circuitry become obvious.

Also consider that a cartridge is fussy about the electrical interface between it and the phono stage. Every model has different electrical demands too. The scale of the task is enormous.

Linear Tube Audio MicroZOTL2.0 Tube Headphone Amp Review

Audio & Video, , , , ,

Executive Overview

The MicroZOTL2.0 headphone amplifier and preamp is one of Mark Schneider’s latest reconfigurations in the world of audio sources. Featuring quality components, the amp also incorporates the ZOTL (Zero hysteresis Output Transformer-Less) technology which has earned numerous awards and been heralded a success in recent decades. The first implementation of this was, of course, in David Berning’s original MicroZOTL whose architecture came into fruition in the late ‘90s.

Schneider’s modern take, however, aims to deliver sonics that match and even surpass its predecessor with the vision of delivering “stunning sound quality” in the home setting. Having had an extensive background in engineering, manufacturing and product design, Mark was attracted to the opportunity of working with Berning’s complex and desirable creations. It was with this passion that 2015 saw the founding of Linear Tube Audio, an audio company which strives to continue and build upon the successes of the original ZOTL technology. As if this were not enough, Mr. Berning personally oversees the initial run of the microZOTL2.0s to ensure the amps meet his strict criteria.

VR is well and truly here, but it’s not just all about the immersive gaming. 360-degree videos are on the rise and it’s getting easier to shoot your own spherical flicks.

For people who don’t want to spend $60,000 on a Nokia OZO or pay out for GoPro’s Omni professional rig, there’s now a host of 360-degree shooters that you don’t have to break the bank for.

We’ve picked out the best 360-degree cams at both ends of the price spectrum, as well as the most exciting ones yet to come.

Kobo Aura Edition 2 review : It’s better than Amazon’s baseline Kindle, but it’s a lot more expensive

Kobo Aura Edition 2 review : It’s better than Amazon’s baseline Kindle, but it’s a lot more expensive

Tablets, , , , ,

With other, more capable e-readers available at around the same price, we can’t think of any reason why anyone should invest in the Kobo Aura Edition 2. Consider buying it if you find it on sale. Otherwise, give it a pass.

Kết quả hình ảnh cho Kobo Aura Edition 2

The $130 Kobo Aura Edition 2 e-reader is an odd duck. It occupies the mid-point in the Kobo product line, and it boasts such desirable features as backlighting, long battery life, and the ability to open a diverse array of file types. But a number of e-readers, including the Kobo Glo HD, deliver many of the same features—plus higher resolution—for nearly the same price.

Measuring 6.26 x 4.45 x 0.33 inches, the Kobo Aura Edition 2 boasts lightly smaller dimensions than the 2015 iteration of Amazon’s Kindle Paperwhite. It’s lighter than the Paperwhite, too, weighing 6.35 ounces versus 7.5 ounces.

Honda’s brawny people-mover gets beefier but it also gets a smoother ride for its latest iteration.

Honda is in the midst of a product renaissance. Over the next four years, nearly every model in their portfolio will be re-launched, and that aggressive product cadence is a key component of their ongoing strategy to keep the company’s vehicles at the forefront of modernity.

The latest case in point is this all-new fifth generation CR-V. Even with 2016 shaping up to a record sales year and the fourth generation CR-V already enjoying the notable distinction of being the best-selling SUV in the United States, Honda isn’t willing to rest on their laurels.

ASUS Zenfone 3 Max ZC553KL Review: Mid-range Dilemma

ASUS Zenfone 3 Max ZC553KL Review : Mid-range Dilemma

Phones, , , ,

When we reviewed ASUS’ Zenfone 3 Laser a few weeks ago, we found that it was the perfect compromise between the bigger, glass-encased ZF3 and the budget, mostly all-metal 5.2-inch ZF3 Max. But just as people were gearing up to drop the cash on the ZF3 Laser, the Taiwanese company suddenly announced a far better phone by comparison: the 5.5-inch ZF3 Max. The new phone presented a problem for prospective buyers because it had relatively better specs, almost the same design and a significantly larger battery than the ZF3 Laser already on the market. The biggest question that’s on everyone’s mind: is the updated ZF3 Max a better buy than the ZF3 Laser that came before it?

The older VR II (G-type) has been a cornerstone of many professional photographer’s bags, not to mention one of our most rented lenses. Nikon made some big changes revising this lens. Have they added enough performance to justify the new $2,800 price tag? We dug in and took a look!

First off, what are we calling this thing?

Nikon’s official name for this lens is the 70-200mm f/2.8E FL ED VR…but that is a confusing mouthful.

In our review of be quiet! Dark Base Pro 900 we shared with you that our configuration featured the Palit GeForce GTX 1080 GameRock Premium Edition graphics card. Now that were done with the case, we would like to have a look at another modification of the second most powerful NVIDIA GPU – GeForce GTX 1080. After NVIDIA refreshed its reference coolers lineup, which received the Founders Edition label, Palit also revealed a new type of cooler meant for the present generation of GPUs – its name is GameRock. For now it is available only for the highest end graphics cards – GeForce GTX 1080 and GTX 1070, which is confirmed by its seemingly solid construction.

Palit offer two different GameRock GPU models. The one we were sent is GameRock Premium Edition, and the only differences between it and the simple GameRock are as regards their basic frequencies and memory bandwidth. Fortunately for all of us, both of them offer factory overclock, and as we already mentioned, we managed to further increase the frequency of our graphics card. It is in this review that you can find out more about the capabilities of Palit GeForce GTX 1080 GameRock Premium Edition.

Vizio M65-D0 Ultra HD Display Review

When is a TV not a TV? When it’s an Ultra HD Home Theater Display. With the new M series, Vizio has chosen to shake up conventional expectations of what a TV should be and should do. One key change is that each M series set lacks a tuner to receive over-the-air digital TV broadcasts—hence, the company’s use of the term Home Theater Display. Another change is that Vizio has scrapped the typical full-featured IR remote control and replaced it with an Android tablet. Future-savvy or future shock? Read on and find out.

Vizio’s changes might seem random to some, but they actually make sense. With the current ATSC 1.0 digital broadcasting system scheduled for an overhaul to version 3.0 in early 2017, why saddle 2016 sets with a soon-to-be-obsolete digital tuner that few people use anyway? (It has been speculated that the ATSC 3.0 digital tuner may take the form of a dongle that will plug into a TV’s USB port, and in any event the majority of viewers still use pay TV service with a cable or satellite box.) Also, with streaming services supplanting conventional cable and satellite TV for many viewers (myself included), why not give users a high-tech device with which to organize and control their media-streaming universe?

Maserati Levante first drive: Taking the luxe offroad

When you think Maserati, you probably think if its thoroughbred Italian racing heritage, the glamour and slick sports car lines. It was perhaps totally fitting, then, that the day we headed into the Cotswolds to test the new Maserati SUV, the UK issued 19 flood warnings.

A stroke of luck, you might call it, that we were driving a four-wheel drive SUV, rather than a hunkered-down rear-wheel drive speed machine. Slipping into the cosseted interior of Maserati’s new luxury SUV, hitting the heated seat button and speeding off along flooded roads, we did wonder if we’d be better in one of Maserati’s sponsored racing yachts.

Maserati say that the Levante brings a completeness to the family of cars it offers, a luxury alternative, a lifestyle model, that through its SUV lines it offers wider appeal to a wider range of owners than some of its sports cars.

LG 55B6P 4K HDR OLED TV REVIEW

The LG B6 OLED TV is the company’s most affordable OLED television, but it’s got the same stunning picture quality you should expect from any of LG’s other OLED models, right up to the super-premium Signature G6 OLED. So, if the B6’s picture quality is the same but the TV is less expensive, what must you give up? As it turns out, the answer is very little.

For this review, we’ll go ahead and rehash some of the glowing things we said earlier this year about LG’s OLED TV picture quality, clarify some of its outstanding features, and go over the short list of things you don’t get with this model. Ultimately, though, here’s what we want you take away: The LG B6 OLED offers the best picture quality you can buy today, at the best price yet.

Battle Of The 125cc Ankle Biters – Part 2

Cars, , , , ,

Now the real fun begins…

By now, we’ll assume you’ve read the Part 1 of the Ankle Biters test, wherein we asked some newer riders to ride the Honda Grom, KawasakiZ125 Pro, Kymco K-Pipe 125, and SSR Motorsports Razkull 125. Their job was to give us feedback as to which bike makes the best learner for the absolute noob because it’s been awhile since any of the MO staff could call themselves one. Our riders had a lot of fun with the test, but as for us MOrons, we wanted a bit more excitement once we got a chance to throw a leg over the quartet.

Naturally, being the sporting set that we are, and considering we’ve already raced a Grom and K-Pipe twice around the clock already, we decided to have a battle royale between all four bikes to settle the score. A race was in order! Time and budgetary constraints dashed our wide-eyed dreams of taking all four to a go-kart track for a closed-circuit race, but with a combined 32 horsepower, this was one of the few times we could hold a race on four street-legal motorcycles without fear of breaking the speed limit!

Philips SHB8750NC review

Audio & Video, ,

If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then the Philips SHB8750NCs are being very nice to the Award-winning SHB8850NCs.

Superficially, these two pairs of headphones share many of the same features and even have some sonic traits in common – but there are still significant differences.

Overall, these headphones aren’t quite as finely balanced as their twin.

Features

The only aesthetic change between the 8750 and 8850 review samples is the black on the housings and headband rather than silver.

They have the same noise-cancelling functionality, volume and playback controls as the 8850s, as well as the same hinged, rotating earcups hiding the 32mm drivers.

Dell Vostro 14 5459 review – a compelling choice, if you are into 14-inchers

Computers & IT, , , ,
Hình ảnh có liên quan

To be honest, it’s really hard to like something after reviewing the absurdly well-built HP’s ProBook 440 lineup because it covers all basic needs of a businessman while offering a little something on the side. Dell’s direct answer to the ProBooks, however, are the Vostro series, more particularly the 14-incher we have here for a review. It falls into the same price range but lacks some of the perks the ProBook 440 G3 has – for instance M.2 SATA SSD support.

However, the Vostro 14 5000 series make a compelling choice with key selling points on the portability, design, and rigidity. It will be interesting to see how it stacks against the ProBook 440 G3 in terms of display quality, GPU performance, and battery life since those are the main aspects setting these two apart. Let’s see if the Vostro 5459 is up for the challenge.

Mokacam Review

Cameras, , , , , ,

If your sole guidance on an industry was the share price of the market leader, then you’d definitely consider it a tough 12 months for action cameras. That said, newcomer So Special Labs isn’t put off. In fact, it thinks its Mokacam GoPro rival might just be the tonic the product category needs. The 4K action camera packs a dual punch of being small and reasonably priced. At $270, it’s more than $200 cheaper than GoPro’s flagship 4K camera, and it deliberately tries to improve on its rival pain points. With all of that going for it, is the diminutive Mokacam able to compete with the biggest name in this space?

mokacam4-670x333

Going by the marketing, you’d think the Mokacam’s key selling point was its size. On its hugely successful Indiegogo site, the company claims three separate times that the device is the “world’s smallest 4K camera,” and that’s before you even get to the details of the product. The main websitealso repeats this claim throughout and boasts, “The only risk you run is not being able to find it in your bag.” Spoiler: I can confirm that it’s quite easy to find in most bags, though it is indeed on the smaller side.

Fender Fxa2 In Ear Monitors Review

Audio & Video, , ,

When you think “Fender,” your brain conjures up images of guitars, of long-haired tattooed musicians exploding into ear-piercing solos. It’s an appropriate assessment — the Stratocaster (or one of its many clones) is usually the first instrument of aspiring rock gods. What you don’t think about are earbuds. But after a recent acquisition, the guitar maker is hoping to change that with its line of in-ear monitors.

I just happen to be in a band. (Actually, several. Okay, five. I’m in five bands.) And no matter where we play, we need to be able to hear ourselves. To accomplish that, everyone from Beyoncé to a local band at a small club uses “monitors.” Unlike the wall of sound directed at the audience, the in-ear and speaker-based monitor system is mixed for either a particular person or area on stage. And from my own experience if you’re a musician and can’t hear yourself — or worse, your bandmates — you’re going to have a bad time.

2016 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid review

Cars, , , , , , ,

Hyundai follows up its redesign of the Sonata midsize sedan with a one-two-punch combo of efficiency. First is the jab that is the hybrid variant, followed up with right cross of a plug-in hybrid model that boasts fantastic EV range. Like the opener, these electrified models boast excellent dashboard tech, a very modern suite of available driver aid and safety systems, and a more mature design that — while maybe a bit less exciting than the previous generation — is sure to appeal to a broader audience.

A solidly performing hybrid

Just behind the more mature fascia of the 2016 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid, the engine room is home to a 2.0-liter Atkinson-cycle gasoline powerplant making 154 horsepower and 140 pound-feet of torque. It’s not alone; the combustion engine is mated to a 38 kW e-motor that adds 51 horsepower and 151 pound-feet of torque to the mix, bringing total system output to 193 horsepower. The hybrid power flows through a six-speed automatic transmission before meeting the road at the front wheels.

Chromecast Audio review

Audio & Video, , , , , , , , , , , ,

In 2013, Google introduced the Chromecast , a plug-and-play dongle designed to make streaming video from a mobile device to a TV easier. In 2015, the company followed up with Chromecast Audio, which bridged audio-streaming apps to legacy audio equipment equipped with an analog or optical input.

Google’s latest audio product, the Chromecast Audio, distills everything the company has learned about content streaming into a simple, affordable device the size of a York Peppermint Patty. And Sonos, the leader in wireless, streaming whole-home audio, has reason to worry. At $35, £30 or AU$49, Chromecast Audio capably fulfills its core promises at a very affordable price, especially now that the system now (also) supports voice control.

The Aero Plus now has a bigger 5.5-inch display from the previous 4.8 inches of screen real estate. The resolution has also been bumped up this time to Full HD with In-Plane Switching (IPS) as compared to the Aero which maxes out at 720p.

It also sports a 2.5D curved glass which adds a premium look and better feel when swiping from the sides.
