Bose has taken the extreme measure of officially discontinuing its Sleepbuds, its in-ear noise masking earbuds. In a blog post and email to customers, the company blamed poor battery performance and power issues after a raft of complaints. The company is offering all customers a full refund on the $249 Sleepbuds. In a quite fawning apology John Roselli, General Manager at Bose Corp said: “Based on what we knew, we believed that software and firmware updates could fix the issues....

The price of Bitcoin has been suffering since the start of the year, and with Lloyds Bank banning their credit card users from buying cryptocurrency and China tightening their rules around cryptocurrency in general , it’s no great surprise that the crypto market is shrinking. Cryptocurrency has always been a turbulent ride for investors, and with the market and the technology it’s based on still being in their infancy, it can be an intimidating arena to step into....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict For the price, the Chuwi SurBook isn’t good enough. Though it is cheaper than mainstream low-end Intel laptops, the performance is disappointing, and Chuwi itself has better performing products at lower prices. You might also want to Consider spending a little more to get an overall better laptop in the first place. For £349 you can pick up an Acer Swift 1, which at the time of writing costs £269....

Cobra Kai never dies, but it’s definitely ending – dojos from the Valley are closing their doors with the sixth season, which has just debuted on Netflix. The sequel to the cult classic Karate Kid film series has gained a wide following. The show took older viewers on a nostalgic journey into the past, while introducing the younger audience to the heroic and somewhat comical world of struggling dojos. At the same time, Cobra Kai skillfully and humorously addresses the toxic patterns and clichés of 1980s cinema and introduces old protagonists to a new world....

Just last month Apple announced Self Service Repair, which would allow savvy customers to repair their iPhone 12 and 13 phones and (eventually) Macs using genuine Apple components. Dell is now going a step further with Concept Luna, a proof-of-concept eco-friendly laptop made in collaboration with Intel. In a nutshell, Concept Luna aims to make repairs easy while keeping carbon emissions low throughout the manufacturing process and in use. Users can expect to disassemble the device and access internals using just four screws, which reduces the amount of time needed for repairs by roughly 1....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Dell Inspiron 15 Gaming gets just about everything right apart from its screen tech. Its design is fine, its performance admirable and its battery life a jaw-dropper. This makes its lacking screen quality all the more annoying, although at least Dell lets you upgrade this if you can afford £1299 rather than £899. It’s something to Consider carefully if £899 is your upper limit, though, as the poor colour and contrast really does not do games justice....

Dell has revealed substantial updates to its Latitude lineup of business laptops, including the lightest device in the range so far. The new Ultralight configuration of the Latitude 7330 weighs just 0.96kg (2.12lbs), making it one of the lightest laptops you’ll find anywhere. In this new world of hybrid work, the benefits of such a portable device are clear. The Latitude 7330 is available as a regular ‘clamshell’ laptop or a 2-in-1 which, naturally, is heavier, starting at 1....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Pros Bright, clear display Good app features Cons Fussy startup process Our Verdict The Devolo smart heating system doesn’t need an engineer to install it – in fact, it only took us minutes to do it ourselves. However, to control the boiler you’ll need the smart thermostat as well. The app experience lets it down a bit, but the full website more than makes up for it....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Phantom 4 is unquestionably DJI’s best drone yet. It shoots decent quality 4K video and is easier to control than ever before. Batteries are very expensive, though, and the intelligent modes still don’t quite match those you’ll get with a 3DR Solo which, in our opinion, is still the better choice if you need to capture complex cinematic aerial shots. Of course, the Solo is more expensive, doesn’t come with a camera and lacks obstacle avoidance, so the Phantom 4 is still a great choice if you can afford it....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Spark Remote Controller is well designed and makes it much easier to fly the drone, as well as offering better range, more reliable live video and also lets you use the Spark’s Sport mode. It’s still quite expensive at £100, but well worth it if you want manual gimbal control and like to fly manually when recording video. Of course, if you don’t already have a Spark, the Fly More Combo is better value overall....

It’s that time again: mid-January, when willpower is fading and the resolutions we oh-so-soberly embarked on a few short weeks ago have become challenging to maintain. If eating healthily (and cheaply) was on your list, now is the time to harness the power of your air fryer to keep you motivated. An air fryer might not seem like a natural choice when it comes to eating well. In fact, many people regard it as the enemy of good food and proper cooking....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict We weren’t expecting much from EC Technology’s Bluetooth speaker. But despite its dowdy appearance, it is great speaker, performing impressively when playing all types of music. It has also other nice features, such as an impressivebattery life and light weight. Never judge a book by its cover! Best Prices Today: EC Technology 6W Bluetooth Speaker The choice of Bluetooth speakers is bewildering. While they used to be expensive, prices have crashed and there’s a great selection for under £20 now....

This prompts the obvious question of whether the upgrade is worth it. We’ve looked into what sets the two apart to help you decide. You can also see our review of the Echo 2 for an in-depth look at its features. Echo Dot 2 vs Echo Dot 3: Design The first, most obvious difference is the look. The Echo Dot 3 features a more rounded shape and a fabric-bound speaker that wraps the body of the device, ousting the smooth plastic look of the Echo Dot 2....

At a Glance Our Verdict So, will the Echo Show (2018) prove an instant success, or should you be hunting down its cheaper predecessor instead? We compare the two. Price and availability Design and build The original Echo Show wasn’t exactly a device we’d describe as having a pleasing aesthetic. The 7in display sat atop twin front-facing 2in speakers, all of which were encased in a grey plastic shell. It was perfunctory, but far from desirable....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict If you only need a printer for occasional use at home then you might be better off opting for one of the many conventional inkjet printers that are now on sale for less than £100. But if you need a reliable workhorse printer for daily use at home or in a small office then the exceptionally low running costs and three-year warranty of the Ecotank ET-2500 ensure that it will save you money in the long run....
