The Sony WF-XB700 have a mediocre set of controls. Overall, they aren’t very easy to use, and their control scheme isn’t intuitive. The left earbud controls the volume. Click it once to turn the volume up, or hold it to turn the volume down. Click the right earbud once to play/pause, twice to skip forward,…
The Roku Smart Soundbar has a poor selection of sound enhancement features. It doesn’t have a room correction feature, so it may sound different depending on the room you’re in. On the upside, you can choose between different degrees with its dialogue enhancement feature called Speech Clarity (Off, Low, High) and its Volume Mode (Off,…
The Toshiba Fire TV 2020 is an okay 4k TV and a decent upgrade over its predecessor, the Toshiba Fire TV 2019. Its high contrast ratio and excellent black uniformity make it a good option for dark room viewing, and it can deliver a decent gaming experience with its fast response time and low input…
The Dyson V11 Animal and the Dyson Cyclone V10 Absolute are two stick/handheld vacuums with different purposes. The V11 Animal is more specifically designed for cleaning pet hair. However, the Cyclone V10 Absolute can also pick up pet hair and it’s better at cleaning this kind of debris on all surfaces than the V11 Animal. The V11…
The Samsung HW-Q800T is a better overall soundbar than the LG SN8YG. Overall, the Samsung has a better-balanced, more neutral sound profile compared to the slightly boomy-sounding LG, which makes it better-suited for music and movies. The Samsung also comes with a graphic equalizer, making it easy to customize the sound to your liking. However,…

There are other monitors in the same lineup with different configurations, which you can see in the table below. Model Size Panel Type Resolution Refresh rate G32QC 32″ VA 2560 x…
The HyperX Cloud Stinger are decent budget gaming headphones compared to the Razer BlackShark V2 X. Both headphones are similarly comfortable and have full wired compatibility with PC, PS4, and Xbox One. However, they also have similar inconsistent bass and treble delivery and lack companion software. That being said, the Razer have a slightly better performing boom…
This has proprietary Razer Green switches, which are tactile and clicky, much like Cherry MX Blue switches. They have a fairly low pre-travel distance, they aren’t very heavy to press, and they offer good tactile feedback, great for gamers. Note: We tested four different keys because they felt different and had different audible clicks, but…
The Hisense H9G has amazing peak brightness and it easily gets bright enough to combat glare. This is a slight improvement over the Hisense H9F. Sadly, its brightness isn’t very consistent across varied content, so if you’re watching content with large, bright areas, like a hockey or basketball game, it’s dimmer than with most other…
The Sennheiser HD 450BT Wireless and the Sony WH-XB900N Wireless are similarly performing headphones, but the Sennheiser have a slight edge. The Sennheiser have a more neutral sound profile, their ANC feature can isolate more bass noise, and their leakage performance is better. They also charge in less time, even if their battery life doesn’t last…
