Spall plays John Chapel, who was a detective… on screen....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Powerbeats are a solid option for those looking for fitness-focused earbuds that won’t fall out mid-run. The over-ear hooks, though stiff and sometimes awkward to put on, provide superior security, and the fact that there’s no weighty neckband means you won’t get a buildup of sweat during intense workouts either. Combine that with great quality audio, punchy bass and an affordable price tag and you’ve got a great pair of wireless neckbuds....

For safety reasons, we’ve covered the show from our home offices and so these awards are not based on getting hands-on time with products in the flesh like normal....

Both feature 93% screen-to-body ratio which means it’s a lot of glass to protect.

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict We’re impressed with how easy it is to set up and use this smart home system, plus there’s integration with Alexa and Philips Hue.
