Sony WH-1000XM5 review

Sony's ridiculously named WH-1000X series has been a massive success. The original model launched back in 2016 and had the uphill battle of going against the industry standard that was Bose. While the first model showed promise, it was the relentless iterations over the years that solidified Sony's position in the segment and helped it take the crown for the most effective noise cancellation on the market. It's been several years since and the market has matured quite a bit. The latest generation WH-1000XM5 enters a more crowded arena, with the likes of Bose, Apple, Sennheiser, Beats,...

Week 42 in review: New iPads, even more Galaxy S23 series rumors

This week's headlines were dominated by Apple's iPad lineup. The iPad Pro 11" and 12.9" got updated to the latest Apple M2 processor.

Meanwhile, Blackmagic Design confirmed that its hugely popular video editing software DaVinci Resolve is making the trek to the iPad in both its free and paid Studio version. The other iPad announcement was of the 10th generation iPad. More of a redesigned iPad Air than a vanilla iPad replacement, the new 10th gen iPad has a bigger 10.9-inch...

Weekly poll: will you buy an iPad Pro (2022)? How about a vanilla iPad (2022)?

The vanilla iPad, the last Apple tablet that still used Lightning, made the switch to USB-C this week. The slate took other steps towards usability as well, like putting the front-facing camera on the long side – no one is going to be doing video conferencing in portrait mode. Apple also unveiled new iPad Pros with the M2 chipset, bringing them up to par with the 2022 MacBook Air – one of the most powerful passively cooled machines that money can buy. Also from this week, Blackmagic Design announced that the DaVinci Resolve video editor is coming to iPad in Q4. Paired with the mighty M2...

Oppo AirVOOC 50W Wireless Flash Charger test

Wireless charging speeds aren’t what they used to be. Back in 2009, the Palm Pre gave us our first expirience with wireless charging via a proprietary Touch Stone charger and a special back cover. Soon after the Qi wireless industry standard emerged, though charging speeds topped out at just 5W and later expanded to 10W and eventually 15W.

As the name implies this wireless charger supports up to 50W speeds for select Oppo and OnePlus devices. We’ve already tested vivo’s 50W...

Weekly poll results: Xiaomi 12T series divides opinions

The Xiaomi 12T Pro has an ace up its sleeve – a 200MP camera. Unfortunately, the only other cards it has tucked up there are an 8 and a 2. That’s not a strong hand and potential buyers are divided on whether this phone is a good pick. Interestingly, some commenters under last week’s poll look at the 12T Pro as an affordable Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 phone that is a solid choice for gaming. The fastest Android chipset of 2022 is paired with the “biggest-ever” vapor chamber on a Xiaomi T-series, also there is a large 5,000mAh battery for long gaming sessions that only needs you to pause for around...
