Probably most gamers know the following situation: A buddy has treated himself to an expensive gaming headset, enters the Discord server with a proud chest and starts raving. How do you explain to him now that his expensive new purchase sounds at most like a tin can and that he could have bought a superior combination of microphone and headphones [...]
Edifier is also known for various, somewhat niche products besides normal active speakers. The Edifier D12 is such a piece, as it ends up being a kind of sound furniture that comes across as massive yet compact. As a Bluetooth speaker, the D12 actually contradicts all common clichés and anyone who has little space but a little less than 100 euros [...]
When I was handed a pair of Chinese true wireless in-ear headphones for under 50€ last year, I was more than skeptical. However, it quickly became apparent that the SoundPeats brand is very much a serious competitor. Just like last year’s two models, the Life Classic, which is even more affordable, also delivers an extremely impressive low [...]
We have already explained several times that wireless mice have long since overcome their teething troubles and can now also be found in the esports sector. And the fact that Logitech and Razer are no longer the only ones is not news either. Last year Fritz introduced you to the GM41 mice with and without cables and today we take a look at the new [...]
Today we’re taking a look at the MSI Vigor GK71 with the new Sonic Blue Switches. The smooth clicky switches are the result of a collaboration between Kailh and MSI and position themselves in a rather understudied niche with short travel and low resistance, but allow for unexpectedly fast typing. Despite good equipment and interesting [...]
When I tested the CORSAIR HS65 Surround last year, I was torn. On the one hand, it really didn’t do anything wrong in terms of workmanship, but on the other hand, I found the sound and features a bit sobering for the called price. You can read why I came to a similar conclusion about the wireless version of the HS65 in the review. With the [...]
After all the monitors, it’s time for a change. The ASUS ROG Chakram X comes at the right time, because we’ll get to the bottom of the marketing regarding the 8,000 Hz polling rate today. Since I’ve been testing the mouse at home since October 2022, I’ll introduce you to the device as a whole. However, my focus is clearly [...]
The Sendy Audio Aiva has me touched (and not just because it’s a magnetostat), and has made me wonder a bit both beforehand and afterward. But more about that in a moment, because I have to elaborate a bit more. However, why I’m testing a pair of headphones for 649 Euros today is quickly explained: I’m currently testing an [...]
Both the Roccat Vulcan II Max and the Roccat Kone XP Air are not new, but somehow they are a bit different. Of course, this first raises the serious question of the sense or nonsense of a review long time after the release, long after the usual media have already more or less gratefully embraced these two products. Now, you can argue about RGB and [...]
There are certainly many stories that life writes. One of them: My wife approached me a few days ago with the wish that she would like to have a Gameboy Advance again. Of course, I am immediately on fire with such projects, because I myself love the past gaming culture. Initially, the original case was supposed to become Frankenstein’s [...]
What a lightweight wireless mouse could possibly have in common with the VW Golf? Both are above-average cars that can do everything, but can’t set any absolute highlights. Whether the MM712 with its average price-performance ratio and modest configuration can also become a bestseller, you can read in the review. Lightweight mice are a trend [...]
Due to the high popularity and the many requests, we are following up today with a small follow-up on the Fractal Design North case. Many users have asked “does this work thermally with a large graphics card?” We got to the bottom of this question, installed a Radeon 6900XT without further ado and Fractal was even able to provide us [...]
You probably remember my Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro headset, which simply destroyed itself in storage completely without use and which I had as article published last week. Being a sustainable person, I fixed the part today at my expense after having to wait a few days for the parts. The test will have to prove whether it was worth it – on [...]
Reviews of so-called “gaming chairs” always cause heated discussions. Arguments such as: “These chairs are not ergonomic”, “not good for the back”, “poorly processed” followed by a wide variety of opinions and recommendations are preprogrammed there. More and more recently, the Recaro Rae has been [...]
I admit, I’m plenty pissed off. Why, that is actually also quickly explained. I oute myself today once as a private headphone collector and all the parts that I do not actively use or have ready, go together and in best harmony in the original packaging in my warehouse. I should note that this room also houses headphones in the four-digit [...]
The Edifier MS50A tested today already seems a bit anachronistic. In the meantime, the Bluetooth speaker offers are overflowing and every provider wants to be even smarter than the others. And then Edifier comes snotty with a very conservative-looking, textile-covered walnut box and brazenly refuses the trend of smart listening furniture. What [...]
You don’t always have to test high-end audio when it comes to reviews for a clearly defined target group, which today is very young for a change. Because if it’s not the squeaky-colorful plastic clutter for the group between 3 and 12 years, then you can even do the ears of the kids and the environment a favor. With Kidz Audio’s [...]
The ELGATO Stream Deck enjoys a certain reputation and belongs for many streamers to the equipment like the Amen in the church. Over the years, the small shortcut tool with its LCD buttons has become a comprehensive multifunctional tool. The latest version, Stream Deck+, adds a touchscreen display and four mechanical knobs. We want to find out in [...]
Many people are skeptical about Kickstarter projects. But you can certainly have good ideas, even if you don’t yet have a reputation and lack start-up capital. Maono translates as “vision” and the young company has set the ambitious goal of gaining a foothold in the competitive hi-fi market with high-quality products. After a few [...]
We know it from Hollywood, from game development and even from the automotive industry: Successful products are recast as long as they can be sold at a profit. Sometimes more and sometimes less successfully, input devices are also refreshed with marginal changes, but often the devil is in the details. Corsair tweaks several things on the KATAR [...]
