The audio experts at EPOS have proven time and time again that they make some of the best headsets for both work and play. Having once been partnered with Sennheiser, EPOS has more than proved its expertise with top-notch specialised gaming headsets. EPOS H3 . However, it looks like they weren’t finished with this already impressive headset as they have tinkered further to create a wireless version with the EPOS H3 Hybrid and now their latest edition The EPOS H3Pro Hybrid . The H3Pro Hybrid looks great and has no garish colours, lighting or logos plastered all over it. ( Image: EPOS) The H3 Pro Hybrid looks almost identical to its previous iterations.

Chinese tech giant Oppo is slowly becoming a household name in the west, with their watches and audio hardware challenging the market leaders. But it was probably Oppo’s Find X3 mobile series that truly made them part of the conversation. Now Oppo looks to capitalise on the X3 series’ outstanding reception with its successor the Oppo Find X5 series. Like the X3 the X5 series is split into different models which include the Pro, Lite and the standard edition. Each is tailored with features to accommodate their respective price bracket whilst still trying to offer similar experiences. For this review, we will be taking a look at the higher end model in the Oppo Find XS5 Series, the Oppo Find X5 Pro. The Find X5 Pro comes in two colours, Glaze Black and Ceramic White. Both of the colour schemes come with a glossy finish which is fantastic but it would’ve been great to offer a matte version as the X3 series did. Oppo's new flagship smartphone has arrived ( Image: … [Read more...] about Oppo Find X5 Pro review: Fantastic flagship smartphone with a sleek design and stunning camera

Honor started out as the little brother to Chinese tech giant Huawei, but has become more well established in the west since being independent of Huawei back in 2020. But it isn’t a flagship phone, nor is it trying to be. The X8 is a mid-range/budget smartphone that features a strange blend of advanced and more modest specs. The Honor X8 is a really nice looking device ( Image: Honor) Honor makes some pretty clean and nice-looking devices and the X8 is no exception, at first glance it really doesn't look like a budget phone that dreams of being a flagship. It has a chunky look due to its flat-edge design and rounded corners on all four sides, which I really liked the look of, and that made it feel slightly more premium. The X8 felt a little large in my hand at 163mm x 74.7mm x 7.5mm with most of that taken up by that screen. It’s light at 177g as well as thin, but this is also reflected in its build quality with a glass front, plastic frame and plastic back. While … [Read more...] about Honor X8 Review: A Smartphone with an awesome screen and battery life for a phenomenal price

Their selection features products that have been specially designed to accommodate different scenarios from gaming, fitness and music listening. All of their headphones are said to have been tuned by award-winning sound engineer Luca Bignardi which should ensure quality.

The Evo earbuds look slick with their sleek compact bodies that fit securely in your ear. They come in black with a glossy back panel that features 1More’s logo. The earbuds feel sturdy and durable, my only issue is that the glossy back will be susceptible to fingerprints since it’s the base for the touch controls. 1More Evo True Wireless earbuds are their latest flagship earbuds ( Image: 1More) The ear tips feel really comfortable without … [Read more...] about 1More Evo True Wireless earbuds review: Premium flagship earbuds that offer an amazing audio experience

Android phones are becoming more powerful and capable, with brands like Chinese tech giants Honor definitely on the front lines of that push. Producing some great mid-range devices since their split from Huawei (back in 2020), Honor has really pushed the envelope on what Android smartphones can do while remaining affordable. Following up on last year’s Magic 3, Honor’s latest flagship phone, the Magic 4 Pro, was announced in February this year and incorporates the latest advancements for a top tier device. Even Honor's budget models have always looked great - the Magic 4 Pro continues that tradition, and comes in 5 colours: Black, Cyan, Gold, White, and Orange. Like most Honor phones the Magic 4 Pro has a stylish look ( Image: Honor) The reflective, glossy back panel looks eye-catching, but it's is a fingerprint magnet. It often requires attention if, like me, you can’t stand even the slightest smears and smudges. The back is also very smooth making me very … [Read more...] about Honor Magic 4 Pro Review: Honor’s flagship offers powerhouse performance and a premium look that goes above and beyond

ELON Musk has unleashed a tweetstorm forecasting an increase in political attacks against him. Musk's politics are under intense scrutiny as his bid to buy Twitter starts to go cold. The Tesla CEO's personal politics are difficult to discern as he's advocated for both conservative and liberal ends. Musk is an unwavering free speech advocate - his plan to roll back moderation policies on Twitter is a key example of his right-wing tendencies. Meanwhile, he touts Tesla as "doing more for the environment than any company ever!" - the company's purpose plays to the inherently progressive clean energy initiative. During the heat of Twitter negotiations, Musk tweeted an infographic of his political position, which suggested that the left has gotten radical enough to leave him behind.

IF YOU'RE an OnlyFans subscriber, you may not be getting quite what you pay for as more 'e-pimps' take over the site. Online marketing agencies are now managing the accounts of many OnlyFans adult workers, according to a new report by Ezra Marcus for The New York Times. These agencies handle every aspect of running their employee's accounts – from social media accounts to handling direct messaging sales. In most instances, they even impersonate the women in conversations with their subscribers in order to sell erotic videos, Marcus reported. One such company is Think Expansion, which provides its 'e-pimp' services on behalf of women looking to market themselves in the adult entertainment industry. The term 'e-pimp' was specifically used by Jayson Rosero, the founder of Think Expansion, to describe his company's services to more than 30 OnlyFans workers.
