I’ve been using Beyerdynamic products for more than 15 years now: From high-end headphones (T1, T90) to fun headphones like the Amiron Home, Avento and Custom One Pro, to professional microphone technology. I already recently had an article online about the non-durability of the Custom One Pro (link below), but now there is already another [...]
After I had recently chosen the Recaro RAE as my new personal reference in terms of office chairs, the young manufacturer SecretLab felt compelled to send us its latest creation for testing. With solid construction and high-quality material appeal, they want to knock Recaro off its throne, and even though the two chairs are in a completely [...]
Over the past few years, we’ve noticed that high-end wireless gaming headsets are popping up like mushrooms out of the audio ground – these marketing-pushed technological marvels promise us heaven on earth in terms of sound quality, no matter what we’re listening to and whether the game we’re about to mercilessly mow down [...]
With the GH40 ENC, MSI launches its first gaming headset with noise cancellation for improved intelligibility during communication. Besides the mentioned noise cancellation, other highlights like robust metal hinges and decent sound are supposed to be on board. Whether all this is really feasible in a 60€ headset can be read in today’s [...]
If the sound card drops out or cracks, USB devices do not work or only work sporadically or the performance drops, then interrupt conflicts are usually the cause. This is something that Windows users have long since ignored out of sheer convenience, although the problem is as old as PCs and has only shifted under the colorful operating system [...]
Lately, lightweight mice have been sprouting up almost like weeds. While the last tested input devices always had the impression that they all seem to come from the same factory and every manufacturer simply sticks their logo on it to have an ultra-light mouse in their portfolio, things look a bit different with Glorious. Whether the refresh of [...]
Probably most gamers know the following situation: A buddy has treated himself to an expensive gaming headset, enters the Discord server with a proud chest and starts raving. How do you explain to him now that his expensive new purchase sounds at most like a tin can and that he could have bought a superior combination of microphone and headphones [...]
Edifier is also known for various, somewhat niche products besides normal active speakers. The Edifier D12 is such a piece, as it ends up being a kind of sound furniture that comes across as massive yet compact. As a Bluetooth speaker, the D12 actually contradicts all common clichés and anyone who has little space but a little less than 100 euros [...]
When I was handed a pair of Chinese true wireless in-ear headphones for under 50€ last year, I was more than skeptical. However, it quickly became apparent that the SoundPeats brand is very much a serious competitor. Just like last year’s two models, the Life Classic, which is even more affordable, also delivers an extremely impressive low [...]
We have already explained several times that wireless mice have long since overcome their teething troubles and can now also be found in the esports sector. And the fact that Logitech and Razer are no longer the only ones is not news either. Last year Fritz introduced you to the GM41 mice with and without cables and today we take a look at the new [...]
Today we’re taking a look at the MSI Vigor GK71 with the new Sonic Blue Switches. The smooth clicky switches are the result of a collaboration between Kailh and MSI and position themselves in a rather understudied niche with short travel and low resistance, but allow for unexpectedly fast typing. Despite good equipment and interesting [...]
When I tested the CORSAIR HS65 Surround last year, I was torn. On the one hand, it really didn’t do anything wrong in terms of workmanship, but on the other hand, I found the sound and features a bit sobering for the called price. You can read why I came to a similar conclusion about the wireless version of the HS65 in the review. With the [...]
After all the monitors, it’s time for a change. The ASUS ROG Chakram X comes at the right time, because we’ll get to the bottom of the marketing regarding the 8,000 Hz polling rate today. Since I’ve been testing the mouse at home since October 2022, I’ll introduce you to the device as a whole. However, my focus is clearly [...]
The Sendy Audio Aiva has me touched (and not just because it’s a magnetostat), and has made me wonder a bit both beforehand and afterward. But more about that in a moment, because I have to elaborate a bit more. However, why I’m testing a pair of headphones for 649 Euros today is quickly explained: I’m currently testing an [...]
Both the Roccat Vulcan II Max and the Roccat Kone XP Air are not new, but somehow they are a bit different. Of course, this first raises the serious question of the sense or nonsense of a review long time after the release, long after the usual media have already more or less gratefully embraced these two products. Now, you can argue about RGB and [...]
What a lightweight wireless mouse could possibly have in common with the VW Golf? Both are above-average cars that can do everything, but can’t set any absolute highlights. Whether the MM712 with its average price-performance ratio and modest configuration can also become a bestseller, you can read in the review. Lightweight mice are a trend [...]
Due to the high popularity and the many requests, we are following up today with a small follow-up on the Fractal Design North case. Many users have asked “does this work thermally with a large graphics card?” We got to the bottom of this question, installed a Radeon 6900XT without further ado and Fractal was even able to provide us [...]
You probably remember my Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro headset, which simply destroyed itself in storage completely without use and which I had as article published last week. Being a sustainable person, I fixed the part today at my expense after having to wait a few days for the parts. The test will have to prove whether it was worth it – on [...]
Reviews of so-called “gaming chairs” always cause heated discussions. Arguments such as: “These chairs are not ergonomic”, “not good for the back”, “poorly processed” followed by a wide variety of opinions and recommendations are preprogrammed there. More and more recently, the Recaro Rae has been [...]
I admit, I’m plenty pissed off. Why, that is actually also quickly explained. I oute myself today once as a private headphone collector and all the parts that I do not actively use or have ready, go together and in best harmony in the original packaging in my warehouse. I should note that this room also houses headphones in the four-digit [...]
