Internally, the Audio-Technica Sound Reality truly wireless earbuds sport an integrated DAC and amplifier (AK4375 from AKM), which is impressive given that combined they weigh just eight grams.
Each earbud houses an 11mm “diamond-like carbon coated diaphragm” which minimizes weight while maintaining the drivers’ rigidity. This material reduces frequency distortion during music playback. Separation of the acoustic and electronic components also allows unmitigated airflow from the drivers to your ear, resulting in more accurate sound reproduction.
The race to next generation displays is certainly heating up and while most companies still offer either Full HD or Quad HD panels, Sony has sought to steal the IFA 2015 show with its new Xperia Z5 Premium.
Featuring many of the same specs as the rest of the Xperia Z5 family, the Z5 Premium stands out as it sports the world’s first Ultra HD smartphone panel but is the next-generation resolution enough to make the Xperia Z5 Premium, the phone you have to buy?
Did you know that when you upgrade your phone to your wireless providers’ 4G network, you are actually helping your wireless provider financially? Wireless providers’ 4G networks are cheaper to deliver for cellular carriers. So, why do you end up paying more for using the 4G network than on the slower 3G service?
Although the story goes into great detail about the difference between 4G and 3G networks, the bottom line is that carriers are delivering significantly more speeds at half the cost/effort.
By now, you’ve probably heard about the whole exploding Galaxy Note 7 problem. It wasn’t too long ago that Samsung began recalling all Note 7 units it had shipped due to the risk of malfunction and fire, but now the situation has escalated far beyond that. The company has now permanently discontinued the Note 7 and stopped all global sales, which you can read about below.
Since this is a developing story, we’ll update this page whenever new information comes to light.
The CES craze had us going nuts with content, so it was a bit hard to bring you our ‘Kickstarter project of the week” articles for a while, but we are back in the game and today we are showing off a funding campaign for a product we know plenty of parents and kiddos will love.
Today we are talking about the dokiWatch, a wearable that is said to be “the world’s most advanced smartwatch for kids”.
If the modern mobile industry is a trinity of sorts, tablets would definitely be one of the pillars, along with smartphones and wearables. Much has been mentioned about the “oversized phone” market, but perhaps nothing as curious as its decline. Tablets were once set for explosive growth and prominence, yet in recent years have begun to fizzle out to such a clear degree that even Samsung – which had oodles to offer at one point – has done an about face and Apple – the industry leader in sales – is having major trouble.
These days, tablets tend to be more budget-priced affairs aimed at casual consumers and leisurely luxuries. This is all the more reason a product like NVIDIA’s SHIELD Tablet K1 stand out: it’s made especially for mobile gamers – and even some PC ones, and won’t break the bank, to boot. Today NVIDIA announced that a new update is available for download which will make the device even better.
First and foremost, the update – known as Software Upgrade 1.
V.me, Visa’s foray into the digital wallet space, has now seen the light of day, at least in the UK.
While the financial and payment services company chose RBS (and by extension Natwest) as its launch partner, V.me is going to be available with many more banks as the service grows more mature. According to the official statement by Visa, the “initial trial” is still underway and they are shooting for a primetime release sometime in spring 2013.

Okay, so HTC clearly didn’t stick to the “hero” strategy announced about a year ago, and continued to segment the company’s phone line-up. In fact, we bet it’s now much harder for people to keep up with all new HTC devices than it was in late 2011.
The hectic branding can’t be of much help either, being impossible to differentiate five One devices and six Desires by the letter or letters attached to the names.
