Microlab stellte uns sein B 51 2.0 Lautsprechersystem für einen Test zur Verfügung. Das kleine System kann man einfach an den Bildschirm eines Notebook oder Netbook klemmen und schon hat man einen besseren Sound. Aber auch für normale PC System kann dies genutzt werden. Wir möchten das kleine B 51 nun etwas näher vorstellen.

Today we take our look at one of the biggest names in gaming audio, with the Turtle Beast Ear Force XP Seven Tournament Grade Gaming Headset, which I'm sure you'll agree isn't exactly a snappy product name and it's more descriptive if anything, so we'll just refer to them as the XP's for this review.
I feel a little privileged if I'm honest, this is our first Turtle Beach review here at eTeknix and while I'm personally more than familiar with the products Turtle Beach produce, having used a few of them myself in the past, not to mention selling them when I used to work in retail, I was stunned when I realised I was getting to review their brand new MLG grade gaming headset. Premium grade headsets are few and far between in the gaming world, each year you might see a small handful being released, more often than not they are revisions to a current model.
To my mind, having the MLG logo on your product is a big badge of honour, much like the THX badge is a sign of a well authored movie, Blu-Ray or DVD. For those of you who don't know what the MLG is, it stands for Major League Gaming and its one of the highlights of the eSports scene, that caters to many areas of the pro-gaming scene. Much like any other professional sport, the MLG has rules, regulations and standards that must be adhered and the XP headset must be one of the weapons of choice that meets those standards.
The headset isn't cheap though and with a price tag of a little over £200 I'm expecting nothing short of perfection in terms of features, build quality and of course performance because for that kind of money a consumer deserves nothing less and lets not forget that Turtle Beach have a reputation to protect.
This headset packs a lot of features, so our usual format of features then performance may seem a little mixed as I aim to discuss some performance features throughout the review as we have a lot to cover here.

One of the most time consuming and hard trials of the past 5 years or so has been for me to try and find a Bluetooth wireless headset that can be used while riding on a bike or with the top of my cabrio car down. Something like that may sound a bit funny considering the vast number of wireless headsets in the market especially since most claim to offer plenty of volume combined with some short of wind-filter that makes it very easy for both ends to communicate even in places with lots of wind but to date only one has really worked well enough in such environments and that's no other than the latest Voyager Legend by Plantronics. Well good enough however is not enough for us and so although the Voyager Legend has been our "weapon" of choice for the past year or so we feel that there's still room for improvement and to that end for the past week we've been testing the latest Bluetooth wireless headset by Jabra, the MOTION.

Zowie nous a envoyé un Hammer, casque indéniablement spécifique au niveau du look et de la couleur. Mais, il s'agissait aussi d'un casque qui n'a pas évolué depuis un bout de temps. Du coup, nous l'avons reçu quasiment en même temps que la nouveauté casque Zowie, le Mashu. Casque qui arbore un look bien plus moderne et plus consensuel. Cela dit, comme à chaque fois, en bons intransigeants que nous sommes, nous préférons un casque moche à l'excellent son à un beau casque accompagné d'une bouillie sonore. Du coup, nous allons soumettre le Mashu à l'épreuve de nos DAC mais aussi de nos délicates et sensibles oreilles.

Portable devices have become part of our daily lives and whether that's in the form of smartphones, portable speakers, media players, tablets, notebooks and even coffee makers we simply can't go back to how things were not too long ago. However while it's the trend of our days to miniaturize pretty much everything related with electronics I’m glad to say that there are some areas of the industry where that's not how things are and what better example than the quite massive A73 Boombox wireless speaker by TDK which we had the chance to test a while back? Well it seems that the very successful path TDK has taken over the last couple of years in regard to their portable speaker line is not something to be taken lightly but since the Boombox line has not really been the most "portable" in the market this time over they took things a step further by introducing the brand new A360 Wireless 360 Speaker and we're amongst the very first to get their hands on it.

Aujourd'hui, nous sommes pris d'un doute... A priori, la mode est un éternel renouvellement, ce n'est pas la première fois que nous l'écrivons, et c'est aussi un fait certain. Et à voir nos derniers produits arrivés pour test, nous nous demandons si nous ne vivons pas là le retour de l'intra-auriculaire qui, pourtant, n'avait pas le vent en poupe ces dernières années. Pourtant, en quelques jours, nous en avons reçu plusieurs. Nous continuons avec l'Oxygen d'Ozone. A l'écrire, à se demander si la comparaison n'est pas le fait de recherches poussées en marketing... Nous le répétons, nous sommes dans une période de doute.

Earlier this year we took a look at RHA’s MA450i earphones and they proved to be a great valueand offered good performance. Today we are taking a look at RHA’s SA950i’s which unlike the MA450i’s they are an over-ear type of headphones. They are designed to be extremely light and easy to take with you but still provide professional quality audio. They also feature a detachable audio cable that has in-line volume controls and a microphone for taking calls. Will these be your next headset? Read on as we take a look...

That pair of headphones my friends, is the Razer Kraken Forged Edition. Handcrafted in the deep, dark depths of… China, constructed of aircraft grade aluminum, and tuned by Razer’s finest sound engineers, the Kraken is Razer’s first and most daring leap into the enthusiast audio market and luckily, we were given the opportunity to be one of the first to review....
