Sony WH-CH730N review: affordable headphones done right

Image
Sony WH-CH730N review If you want affordable wireless headphones with a lot of the fancy features and design elements found on Sony’s flagship cans, then the Sony WH-CH730N might just be perfect for you. With ANC, highly customizable and energetic sound, and a neat folding design, there’s a lot to like about the WH-CH370N right off the bat. I’ve spent hours upon hours listening to music with Sony’s latest affordable cans, so here’s whether I think they’re worth picking over some of their fiercest rivals in this competitive segment of the market. Of course, if you want to stand out against the best headphones in the budget category, you need to do one thing above all: provide great sound quality with as few sacrifices as possible. And all in all, I think that the WH-CH730N do just that. (Image credit: Future) If I’m honest, these headphones didn’t make an amazing first impression on me. They have...

over the hill review: an offroading adventure with little purpose

Image
Review info Platform reviewed: PC Available on: PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch 2 Release date: October 14, 2026 (PC) Funselecktor Labs Inc. is known for its minimalist yet vibrant takes on various forms of motorsport, starting with Absolute Drift in 2015, followed by Art of Rally in 2020 and Golden Lap in 2024. Now, the independent studio is tackling offroading, but rather than competing against the clock or other drivers, over the hill is about exploring an open world on your lonesome (or with a friend or three) at your own pace. Taking inspiration from the recent wave of cozy games, over the hill doesn’t have concrete aims or objectives as such. Rather, you simply pootle around the various maps to discover various points of interest and earn Pebbles, the game’s currency, to upgrade your vehicle to better navigate the environment. Off the beaten path (Image credit: Future / Funselektor La...

Logitech G Pro X3 Superstrike review: the best, made better

Image
Logitech G Pro X3 Superstrike review: Two-minute review The Logitech G Pro X3 Superstrike isn’t the gaming mouse revolution that its predecessor was. The X2 Superstrike wowed in our review when it launched earlier this year, earning a rare five-star score, with most of the praise centered around its incredibly HITS (haptic inductive trigger system) switches. These allow the user to fully customize the actuation point of the two main mouse buttons in the Logitech G Hub companion software, so you can tweak them specifically for the game that you’re playing. Hair trigger actuation cuts down click latency in competitive first-person shooters like Counter-Strike 2, potentially giving you a split-second advantage, while going for deeper, more deliberate clicks might be preferable for productivity work or slower strategy titles. You can also choose the level of haptic feedback provided with each input,...

70mai 4K A900 Ultra dash cam review: potent performance from twin cameras

Image
70mai 4K A900 Ultra: two-minute review While many of the best dash cams on the market come with plenty of features and functions, not all of them boast 4K shooting capability. The dual-channel 70mai 4K A900 Ultra captures 4K footage not only with its front-facing camera, but also with the rearward-facing unit that makes up this potent dash cam bundle. This camera combo benefits from Sony Starvis 2 IMX678 sensors in both units too, which combined with the 4K, HDR and 70mai’s own Night Owl Vision 2.0 processing, means the bundle is perfect for capturing footage night and day. The resolution is impressive, with the f/1.8 front lens capable of shooting 3840 x 2160P (4K) at 30fps, and the f/1.6 rearward camera able to shoot the same 4K quality at 25fps. The field of view for both units is a generous 130 degrees. The rest of the specification is similarly impressive, with the chunky main camera featu...

HP Color LaserJet Enterprise 4701 laser printer review

Image
The HP Color LaserJet Enterprise 4701 is a powerful and expandable A4 office printer able to serve teams of up to ten coworkers. It ships with a reasonable amount of TerraJet toner and HP’s strongest ever security. The specification sheet is strong too, with more memory and processor speed than your average print-only device and a top speed of 35ppm (pages per minute). It printed well, even on pretty thick card. However, there’s no touchscreen on this US$730 (£590) device and I found the user interface frustrating, so read this in-depth review before you buy. HP Color LaserJet Enterprise 4701: Design and build (Image credit: Future) Specs Type: color laser printer Functions: Print only Connectivity: USB, Wi-Fi, Ethernet Data storage slots: USB Host   Max print speed: 35ppm Max paper size: Letter/A4 Print quality: 600x600dpi; 1200x1200dpi (enhanced) Memory: 2GB Apple AirPrint: yes Consumables incl...

Resident Evil 2 for Nintendo Switch 2 review: survival horror mastery on the go

Image
The remake of Resident Evil 2 is considered by many to be among the greatest games in Capcom’s legendary survival horror series, and it’s really not hard to see why. Stellar gunplay, immersive environments, a killer cast, and big scares…this entry has it all. And now you can experience it on the go like never before, with the game finally launching on Nintendo Switch 2 in its Resident Evil 2 Deluxe Edition form. Review info Platform reviewed: Nintendo Switch 2 Available on: PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch (cloud only), Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Series S, PC, iOS Release date: October 16, 2026 (Switch 2 edition) I’ve played the entirety of Leon and Claire’s stories, dabbled in some extra modes, and tried the title out in both docked and handheld mode. So, if you’re wondering how the game runs and plays on Nintendo’s latest hybrid system, you’re in the right place. Here’s how I’d ra...

Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse review: a classic platformer given fresh new blood

Image
Slaying vampires always feels good, and 2D action-adventure and exploration game Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse is no exception. The first entry in the iconic horror platformer in more than a decade, Evil Empire and Konami have crafted a love letter to past titles that, while not changing much of the formula, delivers an experience worthy of the Belmont name. Review info Platform reviewed: PS5 Available on: PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, PC Release date: October 15, 2026 Despite a fantastic animated adaptation (and great spinoff series with Nocturne ), Castlevania has been six feet under as Konami barely revisited the series. Seldom for tie-ins with Dead Cells and re-releases, so fans were ready to sink their fangs into a new title. Fortunately, it would come from the Dead Cells team, Evil Empire. Its mastery of the craft with the Metroidvania genre made it a safe but effective pick t...
