Beyerdynamic MMX 150 Wireless: two-minute review The Beyerdynamic MMX 150 Wireless is a multi-platform gaming headset that will unlock quality immersive audio. It also offers wired USB-C and low-latency connectivity via a USB-C dongle and a removable mic. While it’s already out in the UK, the US release date is yet to be confirmed. For a mid-market headset with a list price of £159 (around $210), the MMX 150 Wireless is impressively immersive. When I was stalking opponents on Counter-Strike 2 , the soundstage always felt precise, enabling me to detect the direction of firefights or distinguish footsteps as people attempted to sneak up on me. But I would say it’s in action games where the MMX 150 Wireless really shows off its strengths. While playing The Outer Worlds 2 , the world around me felt deep and richly layered. Reverberant industrial sounds and the idle chatter of NPCs are always perfectly positioned, making you feel like you’re sitting at the dead centre of an expansive sp...

Panasonic HC-X1200: two-minute review I’ve been testing camcorders for over five years, to which you might respond, "Aren’t camcorders a relic from a former era?" And in some ways you'd be right. But there's still plenty of life in the product category, and filmmakers who like the traditional handling and built-in zoom of a camcorder will find much to enjoy in Panasonic's HC-X1200. Even for a seasoned reviewer like myself, though, the HC-X1200's appeal isn't immediately clear. This relatively new and lightweight Panasonic model targets the serious creator or event videographer who needs rock-solid reliability and modern specs without jumping into the $2,000 / £1,500 price bracket. There are few real video 'features', apart from basic face tracking. And without mod cons like Wi-Fi, this isn't the tool for fast-paced content creators. I like a simple workflow, and the HC-X1200 is certainly easy to pick up and use in full auto mode, with the o...

Two-minute review Amazon announced its new Echo Dot Max alongside the new Echo Studio, Echo Show 8 and Echo Show 11 in September 2025, heralding a new generation of its mid-range smart speakers and smart displays with a focus on better audio, Alexa+ compatibility, smart-home connectivity and a fresh new design-led look that brings them closer in terms of appearance to competitors from Google and Apple. Although its name suggests that it succeeds the 5th-generation Echo Dot released in 2022, technically, the Echo Dot Max model replaces the 4th-generation Echo speaker, which is quietly phasing out across global markets. Regardless, Amazon is pitching the Max as more of a ‘Pro’-grade improvement to the Echo Dot than a direct follow-up, and it's gearing up to be one of the best smart speakers in Amazon's current line-up. (Image credit: Lance Ulanoff / Future) So, what does the ‘Max’ moniker get you versus the standard model? According to Amazon, a two-way speaker sys...
