Adesso Xtreme H3 Bluetooth Headphones Review

I have been a fan of wireless headphones and headsets since the RF days. They are great because you are not actually connected to anything so you can get up and use the bathroom, go to the kitchen and make lunch or just lay down on the couch without having to lose the music you are listening to. With Bluetooth technology built into so many devices having wireless headsets is all but common now. Today we will be taking a look at the Xtreme H3 Bluetooth Headphones from Adesso. These headphones have an over the ear DJ style, pivoting earcups, 50mm Neodymium Magnetic Drivers and controls right on the left earcup. Let’s take a look!

Angelbird SSD2go Pocket External SSD Review (512GB)

Typically after a photo shoot, I backup my images to multiple external HDDs, which can be a tedious task at best. This increase in redundancy helps to ensure I always have a copy of my data. However, I have seen my share of scares when backup drives have corrupted, fell and were damaged beyond use, or have just been stolen. Having a portable SSD could have definitely helped out in most of those cases. SSDs offer much faster speeds over HDDs, much greater physical endurance, and a smaller foot print as well as more reliability.
When thinking of fast, high quality storage products, Angelbird is always first to come to our mind. Last year we reviewed their Angelbird SSD2go. We were truly blown away with the performance and quality the drives offered. Today we have their newest product, the Angelbird SSD2go Pocket. The Austrian designed and precision-manufactured SSD2go Pocket is an ultra-portable external SSD that combines Angelbird’s quality and powerful features into a stylish pocket-size form factor.

ASUS GTX750 Ti STRIX OC Edition Review

Kitguru rates the GTX750ti very highly – we have reviewed a handful of partner cards since Nvidia launched the model earlier this year. For the modest asking price it delivers solid frame rates at 1080p – but it is the Maxwell architecture that deserves special praise. These cards run exceptionally cool and take all the power they need direct from the PCI e slot. We like the combination of high efficiency, low noise and modest heat output - Nvidia seemed focused this year on reducing power demand which can only be seen as a positive step forward.

ASUS Rampage V Extreme Review

When it comes to high-end overclocking motherboards, the ASUS Republic of Gamers Rampage series motherboards have always been amongst the very best products money can buy. With the Rampage V Extreme ASUS certainly doesn't want to break with this tradition. At a first glance, this EATX motherboard has been crammed with features and there are quite a few really interesting things, that have the potential of making overclocking a little bit more handy. At this point we're seriously curious to find out what's it exactly that should make this a great motherboard, so let's have a closer look on the following pages.

DimasTech Bench/Test Table Easy V3.0 Review

I have seen a couple of the DimasTech bench tables in the past during overclocking contests and presented on a various computer enthusiast forums. However, I have not had the chance to take a closer look at these simple looking but helpful computer chassis. Many regular computer users probably will not be interested in a bench table but all enthusiasts and overclockers find it very handy. There are also users who wish to expose their brand new and often expensive computer hardware, not hiding it in a more standard computer case. For all of those users, DimasTech has designed a full line of the bench/test tables.

Due to kindness of DimasTech we are able to present one of the latest series of the bench table simply called Easy V3.0 which comes in a full ATX size.

Early iPhone 6 Benchmark Results Show Only Modest Gains For A8

Historically speaking, we typically see impressive performance gains each time Apple releases a new custom processor for its mobile products. Certainly that was true of the A7 System-on-Chip (SoC), the world's first 64-bit smartphone processor offering desktop-class performance. In our evaluation of the iPhone 5s, the A7 chip dominated our benchmark runs and consistently outperformed previous generation iPhone models, sometimes by an obscene margin.

So, can we expect the same kind of performance bump from the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, both of which sport a custom A8 SoC? Maybe not.

Huawei Honor 6 Review

While Huawei's flagship banner was traditionally carried by its Ascend P-series, the P7 didn't ship with a high end SoC that was able to compete with other devices in the same category. With the Honor 6, Huawei takes a departure from its usual lineup and introduces their first big.LITTLE and high-performance SoC, the HiSilicon Kirin 920, which will be a key area of examination.

The Honor 6 sports the same 5" form factor as is cousin the Ascend P7, but with different build materials and design. We take a in-depth look into how this new player competes in terms of performance and power consumption. Read on to see where its surprise strengths and faults lie.

Kingston HyperX Cloud Headset Review

Generally speaking, I think most people are trusting people. That is, most people will take things at face value. Starting at birth, a child must trust their parents or their caregivers will provide for the basic necessities. Of course, this trust comes from the fact children are physically and mentally limited. But as each person grows up, this reliance or trust fades, especially if they experience something to harm this trust. More recently, I have been getting to know a new friend. While we have met for a few years already, I had not talked to her much. Randomly while talking, the topic of age came up during our conversation. I knew she was two years younger than me. Yet when I asked her about it, she kept asserting she was actually only one year younger than me. During the entire evening, I could not understand how this was possible. I even went to ask one of her friends, and she confirmed that our age difference was only one. Being the gullible person I am, I began to accept the possibility of her being only a year younger. It was not until after several days of them laughing at me did she finally tell me her actual age. From this, I learned two valuable lessons. For one, people enjoy trolling each other, especially when they find easy targets. Secondly, and more importantly, if you think you have a reliable source you will trust it, until it proves to be false or, as Editor-in-Chief Jonathan Kwan calls it, a “Javad”. And this is where we fall in with today’s review of the Kingston HyperX Cloud gaming headset. Kingston has a very good track record in producing excellent computer hardware and peripherals, as we have seen in the past, but they have never done any audio products. So when Kingston announced they were going to make a gaming headset, I thought they were just joking around. But since you are reading this review, you obviously know this is real. Can Kingston once again produce a winner out of the HyperX Cloud, or are they really just trolling us? Let us find out.

LanOC v15.0 Recap

I arrived at the LanOC office around 1:00 AM or so Friday morning to join Chad, Debo, and Wes in an informal review of what would be the next few days, better known as LanOC v15.0. We quickly decided, influenced largely by late-night appetites, that it was a discussion better had over food. Van Wert is not known for its nightlife, so we started out East (the way I had just came) in search of food. We found ourselves at a Denny’s off of US 30, conversing with the third shift waitress about how Debo reminded her of her daughter (they both hate everything). With full stomachs, a game plan, and most importantly a new nickname for Debo (Shelby), we returned home before the sun came up to catch a few hours of sleep.

The only downside to beating our previous record of prizes is loading them to take the to venue. In ninety-some degree weather. Thanks to the help from staff and several other generous friends roped in by association thereof, we formed a fairly impressive assembly line fueled by energy drinks and cereal bars. Our company grew as we reached the building, unloading was done within a few trips and the event floor was constructed faster than I’ve seen yet. We took a quick break for dinner, and then returned to drape power and network cables from the ceiling and along the floor.

Mionix NASH 20 Stereo Gaming Headset Review

Roughly three days ago we thought about dedicating this entire week to only reviewing gaming peripherals mainly because it's been quite a long time since we last sat down and played games we really liked (Destiny being one of those games). For good or bad that would mean that we would ignore our reviews queue but that's not really how we do things so this will be the 2nd and last gaming peripheral review of this week (we have two more in store for you next week followed by two the week after that and the list goes on). Now as many of you know although Mionix is amongst the oldest gaming peripherals brands around they haven't really focused into the manufacture of gaming headsets so this was always something we just had to see from them (not to mention it would complete their product line). Well the wait is finally over since a few months back they released their first 2.0 gaming headset called the NASH 20.

Mionix AB was founded in 2007 by Peter Nygren. The goal was to design and develop high-end computer peripherals made for gamers. The company stands for high quality, cool design and a touch of innovation. Mionix has received numerous of international prizes and awards for their products. Mionix has a global presence with a worldwide network of distributors, resellers and partners. For more information, visit www.mionix.net.

Instead of using a virtual surround USB card with the NASH 20 to appeal more to gamers Mionix decided to go with the good old fashioned stereo configuration but since that wasn't enough they tuned it for even better results compared to similar solutions. So the NASH 20 is equipped with two 50mm neodymium magnet D.A.C.T technology drivers that have a frequency response of >-100Hz, impedance of 32 ohms at 20kHz, sound pressure level at 103dB and nominal input power at 40mW with a max of 80mW (THD is rated as less than 2% at 1KHz and less than 5% at 300kHz). Mionix has also placed a flip-down boom uni-directional microphone that has a resonance frequency of 15Hz-16KHz, sensitivity of -42dB and a frequency to noise ratio of 58dB. Overall these numbers (although differently listed from the ones we've used to seeing from similar products) point to an interesting 2.0 stereo headset and since it's by Mionix all the more reason for us to be way too curious to see how it performs.

Today, we have a chance to look at a power supply from Nilox. To be a bit more precise we're having a closer look at their SRM-850 offering. This PSU features a single-rail design that boasts 70A on the +12 rail. Apart from that this unit also features a very reasonable price point and we're curious to see what it can do.

Phanteks Enthoo Luxe Full-Tower Case Review

Recently we had the opportunity to look at Phanteks low cost full tower case, the Enthoo Pro. Now, Phanteks is following up with a higher end Enthoo model, the Luxe. There are similarities between the Pro and Luxe, along with multiple differences. Phanteks takes care in making sure that the features the enthusiasts want in a case are provided; this includes multiple cooling options, ranging from air cooling to liquid cooling. Then Phanteks goes a step further and adds features to make their cases stand out. Read on to see what they did!

Promise Pegasus2 M4 (4x1TB) Thunderbolt 2 DAS Review

Typically multi-bay external storage devices tend to utilize 3.5" drives due to the lower cost and higher capacities. The downside, however, is that 3.5" drives are physically larger and heavier, which makes a multi-bay enclosure rather difficult to move around on a regular basis. To fix this, Promise is offering a 4-bay 2.5" RAID solution called the M4. Read on for our full review of this compact DAS.

Sapphire ITX Compact R9 285

I absolutely love building Mini-ITX gaming rigs. Every time I build a new Lunchbox (what I call our LAN rigs), I try to make them smaller and faster. Either of those along can be a challenge, but trying to constantly pack a faster rig into a small can be a huge challenge. Thankfully recently motherboard manufactures, video card manufactures, and heatsink manufactures have taken notice and have started to make things easier. With the launch of the R9 285 Sapphire jumped into that same market with their first Mini-ITX focused video card. With their focus on attending LANs this wasn’t a huge shock. What was surprising was the fact they went with the new R9 285 when MSI has the R9 270 and GTX 760. I have no doubt that the ITX Compact R9 285 will outperform the other Mini-TX cards, heck we proved that live at our LAN last weekend. Power usage and heat are also important in small form factor builds, I can’t wait to see how well it will perform.
