Let’s be honest. The pair of flimsy earbuds that Sony provides with every PlayStation 4 console are a piece of junk. You’ll need to go out and buy a whole new microphone and headset to get the audio quality that you deserve. Thankfully, a bunch of third-party manufacturers have been stepping in for years to do just that, and HyperX recently entered the scene with its very first microphone: The HyperX QuadCast for PlayStation 4 and PC.

I’ve been jumping from apartment to apartment for the past decade, so not only is space an issue but so is portability. I already have to pack and lug [Read More…]
Crazy good discount.
The Razer Phone 2 is down to a ridiculously low price of $ 499.99 today. That’s $ 200 off what it has been selling for recently and $ 300 off what it was going for near the beginning of the year.

Releasing early December, the star of this latest lineup of devices might look a bit familiar to you. Big Mouth Billy Bass has been a beloved singing prop that’s graced the walls of hallways and bathrooms since the late 1990s, featuring [Read More…]
While we’re still waiting for Samsung or Huawei to launch a foldable smartphone, it seems an obscure company has managed to beat the two iconic brands to the punch.
The Royole Corporation, a start-up based in California has announced the first commercially available foldable smartphone, the Royole FlexPai.
Royole officially launched the device in Beijing late last month, in an attempt to disrupt consumers’ traditional concept of a smartphone. The product is marketed as being a hybrid between a mobile [Read More…]
Here’s a bright idea!
Smart bulbs are great to have around, but one of the pain points of them can be the requirement to have a hub and setting them up can sometimes be a stressful process.

With these, you won’t need any additional hardware like a hub, and the setup process is literally as [Read More…]
