MMORPG.com: Elgato Wave XLR Review

Elgato's Wave XLR audio interface is an interesting proposal, especially for those looking for a solid XLR option with little real estate being used on their set ups. The draw of the device is simple: turning robust and expensive XLR mics into, effectively, a USB mic thanks to Elgato's Wave Link software. However, does it do enough to be seen as a viable replacement for the likes of a GoXLR or AverMedia's Nexus?

The Guru of 3D: noblechairs HERO Black Edition gaming chair review

This time, we’re checking out (I think it’s the first time review on Guru3d for this type of gear) a gaming chair – it’s Noblechairs Hero Black Edtion. The manufacturer is a company with headquarters in Germany, and it was established in Berlin in 2016. They have three main models (Epic, Hero, and Icon), but they also introduce limited series (like AMG, Doom, Fallout, etc.), making the selection even harder. In general - choosing the right chair is a very important matter for daily usage, especially in these Covid times – when people have more “Home Office” and sit more at home than previously.

TechPowerUp: Audeze Euclid Closed-Back Planar Magnetic In-Ear Monitors Review

The Audeze Euclid is a true force of engineering and design, taking the company's latest Fazor-enriched planar magnetic technology and shrinking it down to fit inside proper IEMs for the first time. These are also closed-back in design, but have a soundstage that rivals some open-back, over-ear headphones!

It can be bought as a kit with uncommon switches, optional keycap sets, wired and wireless connectivity options, hot-swap switches, lubed stabilizers, and sound-absorbing foam, and even starts at under $100, too!
