Sennheiser Profile Wireless: one-minute review With relative upstarts likes DJI, Rode, Hollyland and more all releasing tiny wireless microphones recently, veteran audio manufacturers have started to get in on the action. Sennheiser’s Profile Wireless is an attempt by the company – long famed for its excellent studio mics and headphones – to muscle in on the market, and I’ve found it to be yet another very impressive compact mic, ideal for anyone who wants to elevate their recorded content for vlogs, podcasts, interviews and more. With a lightweight, compact design (each of the two transmitters weighs just 27g, while the whole package including a charging bar weighs 290g) and a solid 20-ish hours of battery life, the Profile Wireless is easy to carry around all day, and its 24-bit audio quality beats the pants off the internal mics used by smartphones, laptops and cameras – the things you’ll likely be pairing it with when recording content. It can also be used completely independent...

If you’re going to get serious about money management then it’s a good idea to explore the best budgeting apps and personal finance software . However, if you’re after a free quick fix for your finances then NerdWallet is well worth investigating. This is a quirky little package that works best in its app incarnation for both iOS and Android, allowing quick and easy access to lots of features and functions on the move. However, the desktop website edition offers another useful perspective on your finances, so to get the best from the NerdWallet arsenal of money tools, it’s probably best to use both from time to time. This convenience aspect is a big pull factor for NerdWallet users, who once they’ve imported all their financial transactions into the software, can check income and expenditure in one fell swoop.

LG XBoom Go XG8T review: two-minute review The LG XBoom Go XG8T has a pretty tough task – standing out in a field with extremely strong competition from some of the biggest names in audio. That’s right, this large portable speaker finds itself pitted against some tough rivals from the likes of JBL, Bose and Ultimate Ears. So, how does it fare in its battle for supremacy? Well, firstly, LG has looked to focus on this speaker's design – specifically its phenomenal durability. The LG XBoom Go XG8T is said to have "military grade" protection against the elements, having passed seven different durability tests. It also has an IP67 waterproof rating and high-quality build, protecting it against impact and underwater submersion. As well as that, this has neat, customizable LED lights, an attractive wraparound speaker grille and conveniently adjustable handle/strap. It's looking good so far, right? Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but outside of its looks and de...

Dreame X40 Ultra: two-minute review Dreame Technologies hasn’t been around long but, since its inception in 2017, the brand has made some excellent robot vacuums, including the Dreame L20 Ultra . The X40 Ultra succeeds the older model (as well as the X30 Ultra), bringing much-improved intelligence and tracking compared to lesser bots, as well as a fairly unique collection of features. For those who want something slightly cheaper, it's well worth checking out our Dreame L40 Ultra review . Like most robovacs, the X40 Ultra handles both vacuuming and mopping and comes with a base station that empties the robovac’s dustbin, dispenses water, and cleans the mopping system. Where it stands out is the ability to leave the mop pads behind when vacuuming, the automatic dispensing of floor-cleaning fluid, the wide array of sensors, and the ability to recognize a large number of objects using its cameras. Getting the X40 Ultra up and running is relatively simple, and upon first activation...
