Air by Crazybaby True Wireless Earbuds

Image
It’s increasingly difficult to stand out in a sea of truly wireless headphones . Just about every audio manufacturer has gotten into the true wireless headphone game, which is only making it harder and harder for consumers to choose.  So how do you stand out in a crowded market? For Crazybaby, the answer is design.  The Air look like truly wireless earphones that Apple could have made. Their design is creative, and polished with an aluminium pill-shaped charging case and smooth white earbuds with a soft blue pulsing status light.  However, design is just about the only thing that the Air by Crazybaby can stand on. These headphones are awful in use with bass-heavy sound, constant stuttering, bad call quality, and battery life that doesn’t get close to the claimed 3 hours.  Ultimately? These are half-baked truly wireless headphones you’ll want to stay away until Crazybaby comes out with an updated version. Design We love the design of the Crazybaby Air. The head...

GoPro Hero review

Image
The Essential Review This is TechRadar’s review summary that gives you all the key information you need if you’re looking for quick buying advice in 30 seconds; our usual full, in-depth review follows. The GoPro Hero is the company's latest entry-level action camera, and while it may have gone on a bit of diet as far as features goes, to the extend of dropping 4K video capture, there's lots to like about this budget cam.  For a start, it borrows the same form factor and design as the pricer Hero5 Black and Hero6 Black. This is a change in approach from GoPro's last budget action camera, the Hero5 Session , with the cube design foregoing a rear display. This meant any essential framing had to be done via your smartphone and the dedicated QuikStories app, which was a bit of a faff, so it's nice to see a 2.0-inch touchscreen on the rear of the Hero. The screen is pretty easy to use considering its size, but because it uses the same interface as more feature-rich models ...

Microsoft Office 365

[ Editor's Note: What immediately follows is a rundown of the latest developments and features Microsoft has added to Office 365 since this review was last updated .] April 2018 Microsoft’s latest financial results revealed that Office 365’s commercial revenue increased by 42% year-on-year, with the suite now having 30.6 million consumer subscribers. Microsoft has brought Sets to the preview version of Office 365 , allowing for the use of tabs to keep things better organized in the productivity suite’s apps. Office 365 users are getting real-time link checking in Word, Excel and PowerPoint later this year, which will automatically check links in documents for malicious content. And in a further security move, Office 365 gained the ability to detect ransomware attacks, and help the user restore their files on OneDrive to a time before they were compromised.

Moto G6 Play review

Image
The Moto G6 Play is a cheaper alternative to the Moto G6 and Moto G6 Plus . It trades away advanced features like 1080p resolution and a glass back to knock the SIM-free price down to a level more of us are comfortable with. It costs $199 / £169 / AU$320, making it one of the cheapest 18:9 screen phones you can buy. What do you lose? The Motorola Moto G6 Play doesn’t take great photos at night and the fingerprint scanner is slower than most. However, it’s still stunning value and is also one of the best-looking phones in this class. Key features A big 4,000mAh battery 32GB of storage and a microSD card slot Fast charging There are two important areas to cover in the Moto G6 Play’s features. We need to check out what we miss buying this instead of a Moto G6, and appreciate the neat extras Motorola has managed to fit in at the price. Let’s start with the parts that deserve some applause. The Moto G6 Play has 32GB of storage, which is excellent for the price. There’s a memory c...
