good old Sound Blaster 1 . The product we will review here is the new Creative Sound
Blaster ZxR Sound Card.

How many times have you used Skype (or any video chat program for that matter) to communicate with your friends, distant relatives or immediate family only to find out that you can't really rely on the built-in camera microphone to have a clear conversation with them? Things are even worse when we are talking about laptops since both the built-in microphone and speakers are average at best. The same of course happens quite often with VoIP calls and although most consumers are quite happy with what basic hardware offers at seemingly no extra cost the same does not apply for everyone out there especially people who also use the above for work purposes. Well to cover that segment of the market Jabra recently launched the SPEAK 510 Bluetooth and USB speakerphone so naturally we couldn't just sit back and not get our hands on it.

Today we'll be taking a look at the value orientated SHOCK gaming headset a model which is available in a number of different colours, from Blasting Red and Dynamite Orange to Sunfire Yellow and Military Green. The model we will be looking at is the Marina Blue version; hopefully it delivers same high level of performance we have come to expect from other Tt eSPORTS products.

Today we will be taking a look at one of the hottest headsets on the market and while the Siberia V2 isn’t exactly new, it’s still one of the top choices for gamers around the world and put simply, we wanted to find out why.
The Siberia V2 is priced all over the place, you can pick up some editions cheap at £40 and some closer to £100 and this all seems to do with the rarity of the model in questions, they all have the same feature set but the combination of colours and designs seems to have the biggest effect as Steelseries have released a huge range of limited editions, special editions and more to suit almost every style you can think of. The set we are looking today sits nicely in the middle and you can pick up the red pair for around £60 from most major online retailers and that to my mind makes these reasonably friendly to the wallet but they’re still not drastically cheap either, so I would still expect to see some impressive performance in return for my investment.
As you can see from the specs below the headset is powered by 3.5mm jacks, featuring a long cable and some fairly decent drivers, so let’s get straight to the good stuff and see just what this headset really has to offer.

Turtle Beach are a brand that need almost no introduction to the gaming community, love them or hate them you cannot deny that they are a popular brand with a rock solid fan base. I personally haven’t dealt with too many Turtle Beach products in my time, but for the ones I have been fortunate to test I have been more than impressed and I’m hoping to see something similar here today.
For those of you who read our reviews regularly you will know it wasn’t long ago that we reviewed the luxurious and expensive XP Seven headset, the flagship Turtle Beach headset and it just so happens to be the effective big brother of the headset we are looking at today, both of which are MLG branded and aimed right at the heart of the eSports community.
Of course with the XP Seven being over £200 at retail, the headset can be more than out of reach for many gamers and consumers, the PX22 however are a much more modest £69.99 and while that is still a big investment for many it’s a snip compared to the flagship model. However, we are keen to see what the PX22 have to offer, so let’s get stuck straight into the good stuff and see what Turtle Beach have to offer.

Today we will be taking a look at Tt eSports Console One headset. As its name suggests the Console One is aimed at not just the PC gaming market but also the console arena as well. Supporting both the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3, as well as the PC, the Console One is an all-round gaming stereo headset based on the Shock design.

To get the most out of the CrossFade M-100 Headphones you will be wise to also invest in a headphone amplifier. The sound output from today’s smartphones might be enough to crap out your average best buy $10 headphones, but it just isn’t enough to get a truly satisfactory experience on a higher quality set of headphones let alone the CrossFade M100′s. A lot of attention has quite rightly been given to sound quality and performance with equal attention also given to build quality and style. Don’t get me wrong, the experience is not disappointing by any means, I just need to point out that the dual-diaphragm 50mm drivers inside the CrossFade M-100 Headphones are so much more capable than you may think.

Up for review today I have the TouchTone Bluetooth speaker from Id America which features touch sensitive controls, hence the word touch in the name. The TouchTone is wireless over Bluetooth but it also has a line-in that uses a standard audio connector so you can even use it with non Bluetooth devices. The TouchTone can put out of total of four watts from the two speakers and that might not sound like much, but it is, this thing can get very loud but yet there’s very minimal distortion. Anyway, read on to learn more…

We are literally just a few weeks away from Christmas and since all of us here happen to consider that season as the best and most cheerful time of the year we’ve decided to spend a weekend on the mountain away from technology and more specifically computers and TV. Personally i like the idea since i do need some time off to relax but I’m not about to leave here entirely unprepared and so because of that for the past 2 weeks we've been doing our best to get our hands on as many portable devices as possible that can help us enjoy our time there while at the same time making us feel safer. TDK has been in the business of designing and manufacturing high performance wireless speaker systems for quite some time now but until just recently they didn't offer something really tiny in their product line. It seems however that TDK listens to their consumer base and so the latest TREK A26 Ultra-Portable Wireless Speaker is here to change that.
