We tested the 27″ MSI Optix MAG273R, which is part of MSI’s Optix MAG Series of gaming monitors that has other models available, some of which are listed below. We don’t expect our review to be valid for the other models. If someone comes across a different type of panel or if their MAG273R doesn’t correspond to our…
The Jabra Evolve2 65 are available in a fairly broad selection of configuration options. You can select built-in optimization for either Microsoft Teams or Unified Communication (UC), configure them as a mono or stereo headset, choose between a USB-A and USB-C wireless dongle, and buy them with a charging dock. If you’re shopping on Jabra’s…
The HiFiMan ANANDA-BT have an impressive imaging performance. Their weighted group delay falls entirely below the audibility threshold, ensuring a tight bass and transparent treble. The L/R drivers are well-matched in amplitude, frequency, and phase response, so objects are accurately positioned in the stereo image. This helps create a more immersive listening experience. However, these…
The FIIL T1X have alright Bluetooth connectivity. While they support Bluetooth 5.0, they can’t be paired with multiple devices and they’re not NFC-compatible. They also have high latency on PC, iOS, and Android when streaming video. While some apps and devices seem to compensate for this differently, there’s also a setting in the app called…
We tested the 22 inch Dell E2220H, which is part of Dell’s “Essential Monitors” lineup and is available in a variety of sizes. Note that the larger sizes all have IPS panels, so we don’t expect our review to be valid for them. If someone comes across a different type of panel or if their Dell E2220H…
The Google Pixel USB-C Earbuds deliver mediocre stereo imaging performance. The weighted group delay falls almost entirely beneath the audibility threshold, resulting in a tight bass and transparent treble. However, while the L/R drivers are well-match in regards to phase response, there is significant amplitude and frequency mismatch, which results in a less accurate localization…
The Shark NV360 has mediocre maneuverability. The rotating head can navigate a room well, but the vacuum’s body is a little bulky, which can make it harder to fit in tight areas. The vacuum head is quite high and it can have a hard time reaching under tight spaces. The dirt compartment can also get…
The Boltune BT-BH024 are decently versatile truly wireless in-ears, but like many budget headphones, they lack many features. Overall, they have a bass-heavy sound profile that provides an extra thump and punch to your favorite music. These lightweight in-ears have a decently comfortable fit, and they're stable enough to use during runs and light exercise.…
We tested the 27 inch AOC CQ27G2, which replaces the CQ27G1, which we’ve also tested. There are similar 144Hz models available from AOC, some of which are listed below. In Europe, the CQ27G2U is the equivalent model. It appears to have the same hardware, but the stand is entirely black. If someone comes across a…
The cable is braided and of good quality. It’s flexible and doesn’t keep any kinks. Although the connector looks proprietary, it’s just a regular micro-USB connector, so you can use any cable that you like. If your desktop computer is placed far enough to affect performance, a receiver extension adapter allows you to place the…
