The classic soundcard is dead, long live the classic soundcard? Somehow it is and I would like to explain it again with a longer self-experiment. I myself criticize the headphone outputs of the onboard sound solutions often enough and am always glad when motherboard manufacturers have followed the suggestions of customers and editors and improved [...]

The weather provokes the way outside and be it on the home balcony. You like to take such a mobile sound lover out with you, because with the pure natural noises it is not far away in the city anyway. Despite lockdown. But how you manage to go singing and swimming with a 66 Euro expensive speaker in the truest sense of the word, I even want to [...]
NVIDIA recently introduced an AI tool for RTX owners that not only frees microphone recordings, but secondary and independent playback of any audio stream from noise. RTX Voice, as an AI noise cancellation tool, can be used for pretty much anything that uses the microphone input, including teams, zoom, Skype, Teamspeak and, of course, Discord [...]
It was a tough affair when Mark Cerny was on the 18th. On March 1, he spent an entire hour on the technical details of the next Sony console. Despite the fact that it was clear that the presentation would be aimed primarily at developers, it left a plenty of bland taste. This was due to the competition from Redmond. Microsoft had just dropped the [...]
Edifier Technology CompanyLtd was founded in Beijing in May 1996 and has since changed from a small, national producer to an internationally known and operating company. Activities in North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East and the Asia-Pacific region are evidence of rapid expansion. Compared to many competitors, the company has [...]
First of all, of course, you have to ask yourself how much money you really want to spend on in-ears, whether you are more brand-savvy, or like to experiment. For a street price of 99 euros for the CX 350BT and approx. 68 Euro for the CX 150BT you don't get too high, but you also have to be satisfied with the basics. The question arises: how [...]
Smaller, lighter, cheaper and still better in many areas? Names are sound and smoke, at least for some vendors who, with cheaper product lines, only eat from the glory of days gone by. Klipsch's active boxes are by no means a bad cheap drop, but both the louse quality of the folding and the boards, as well as the annoying background noise [...]
The fact that I generally prefer to play with very good stereo head listening rather than 7.1 gaming headsets is neither a secret nor somehow decadent. Resolution and location are simply better. But it doesn't always work without a microphone. Yes and then? Most of the headphones in my collection are wired and the one used here in the test [...]
Wavemaster has been working on the product portfolio for some time. In addition to the upward expansion with the Two Pro and the Subwoofer Fusion, it is above all the already known models that have been thoroughly refreshed and revised. The Cube Mini was good, no question, but the Cube Mini Neo is better. This is said not only by the manufacturer [...]
As mentioned in my review of the 1More Bluetooth speaker, I'm quite an audio snob. For me, the sound really has to be right, which is why I met this very cheap Bluetooth headset with skepticism at first. Skeptical, but without prejudice. The Havit True Wireless Headset is a Bluetooth InEar headphones with built-in and is available on the [...]
With the Speedlink Volity Ready, Speedlink wants to bring a USB microphone with swivel arm mount and various accessories to the podcasters or streamers of the world, so that their voices are also heard accordingly. So far so good. But how does this set for an EIA of 130 euros and a street price of 111 euros still compare against a 79 Euro podcast [...]
I always have a hard time with superlatives, especially in the area of gaming headsets. Almost always for a good reason, and very rarely in a positive sense. But if exceptions confirm the rule, then today is a state of exception. Of course I don’t want to spoil too much, but I have to point out that it’s really worth reading on [...]
Before I held the Bluetooth speaker in my hands, I was frankly a little skeptical about the product. There were two reasons for this: Firstly, I am quite an audio snob, I like to listen to music, but then it should also be a good sound quality. On the other hand, I haven't found a Bluetooth speaker that meets my requirements. And for the [...]
You can start from scratch and work your way free, or you can rely on long-standing expertise, which you buy purposefully. EVGA has done the latter for good reason and, together with Audio Note, has launched the EVGA NU Audio as a plug-in sound card that does not want to crack, but wants to knock. You can see that very quickly in the price [...]
Headphones are a tricky subject when it comes to quality, sound, fit and taste. Hardly any other piece of hardware is as critically questioned as headphones. After all, a number of factors play a part when it comes to finding your favorite headphones.
Unfortunately, we have to point out that we had to withdraw the award for the headset in the meantime, because quality problems occurred in the long-term test, which are not acceptable in this price range. We apologise to our readers, but we are unable to fully uncover such shortcomings in the short time available for such tests.
I honestly admit it, because I didn't want to test the Quad Driver from 1More (model E1010) out of misunderstood objectivity. Because I have had a rather divided relationship with In-Ears for years, which could not really rip me off the stool either ton or ergonomically. Even though we as a family have so many privately owned in-ears [...]
So there are still the really bright moments when testing gaming headsets, where sound and attention to detail mean even more than RGB lighting and the battle for the most affable design, including virtual surround tape. Honest, precise and, unfortunately, also a little more expensive than the average. This is exactly where Sennheiser wanted to [...]
The Sharkoon B1 is now already open for less than 40 euros. And if you follow Sharkoon's philosophy that can't break, which isn't even in the first place and that all of this is packed (also visually) acceptable, then you can be curious. It should be clear now that you can't expect an acoustic or technical flyer for this price, but [...]
