The Steelseries Arctis 7 Wireless 2017 are better for mixed usage than the Corsair VOID RGB Elite. The SteelSeries are better built, have a more comprehensive companion app, and are easier to carry around, courtesy of a retractable boom microphone, which also provides better recording quality than that of the Corsair. The SteelSeries are also more…
Out-of-the-box, the ASUS ProArt PA278QV has good color accuracy. The monitor has an sRGB mode that’s factory-calibrated and comes with a calibration report in the box. It’s advertised to have an accuracy that’s below 2dE; however, some of our measurements exceed that. This is likely due to different methods of measuring color accuracy. Most of…
The BISSELL Featherweight is a good basic corded upright vacuum that can be used in a handheld configuration. It’s lightweight and very easy to carry around. It's also simple to maintain, with few parts that need to be taken care of and a virtual lack of recurring costs. It performs best on bare floors, though…
The Samsung HW-T650 has a decent stereo frequency response. Its bass doesn’t extend very low, so it won’t be able to fully reproduce the deep thump and rumble in bass-heavy content. However, the overall sound profile is fairly neutral and well-balanced, making the bar suitable for a variety of music genres. It also has five…
The Skullcandy Indy Evo have an adequate control scheme. It’s identical to that of the very similar Skullcandy Indy Fuel Truly Wireless, with a touch-sensitive surface that isn’t especially intuitive but does provide a fair bit of functionality. A double-tap on either bud pauses and plays your media, as well as answers calls, while a…
The Eureka NEN110A Whirlwind Bagless Canister Vacuum Cleaner has an okay build quality. While the vacuum looks a little cheap, most of it is made from hard plastic that seems sturdy and durable. In contrast, the telescopic wand is made from metal, and the plastic wand has a rubber grip. On the downside, the clear…
The stereo imaging performance of the Sony WH-H910 is satisfactory. There’s a slight bump in the weighted group delay occurring in the lowest frequencies, but that shouldn’t be too noticeable overall, with the rest of the range falling beneath the audibility threshold, ensuring a tight bass and transparent treble. The L/R drivers are fairly well-matched…
The typing experience with the Linear Optical switches is just okay. It feels incredibly responsive and light, and the included wrist rest is very comfortable, so it shouldn’t cause any fatigue over time. Due to the lack of tactile feedback, it can be difficult to sense if a keystroke is registered. While the extremely short…
The Shark Rocket Pet Pro has a decent build quality. It’s mostly made from hard plastic except for the wand, which is made of lightweight metal. It could feel a little more sturdy, and its dirt compartment feels like it could crack if dropped. That being said, the handle has a rubber grip, and the…
The LG 48 CX OLED has just okay peak brightness, similar to most OLED TVs. Its automatic brightness limiter (ABL) is slightly aggressive, so the brightness significantly drops at the 100% window. This means that a white webpage or document isn’t bright enough to combat glare. This doesn’t get as bright as the LG CX…
