    AMD Radeon RX 480 8GB Review

    Pretty disappointing results. We often see some performance gains as the drivers are optimised over the months following release. Let's hope that trend continues here...

    BenQ VZ2470H 24-inch AMVA Monitor Review

    You don't need more than 60hz. Or do you plan on using this screen as a 3DTV or something retarded? Also, take a good look: the stand is most certainly not off centre. Only the arm goes off to one side; not the same thing. The centre of gravity will remain low and in the middle.

    Ossic X 3D Audio Headphones To Bring Extra Immersion To VR

    This is almost certainly a gimmick. The magic happens in the software, not the hardware. You could have $5 cheap-phones or a pair of HD800s, but the results will be the same if the audio was not recorded properly, or (in the case of a video game) if the software wasn't designed to create a 3D...

    Virtuix Omni Mini-IPO Rakes In $2.5 Million Within First 24 Hours

    Technically it's not a treadmill. There are real omnidirectional treadmills (that cost a fortune and take up considerably more space), of which a good example would be the Infinadeck. The Virtuix is just a slippery bowl. I dread to imagine how sore your ankles would be after playing a game for a...

    Intel Stops The Tick-Tock Clock

    Well, following the ridiculous news that Kaby Lake will only support Windows 10, I'd be quite happy to see a further generation of CPUs that can still work on Windows 7.

    Samsung Galaxy S7 And S7 Edge Preview

    Who uses USB on phones for anything other than charging these days, anyway?

    Mad Catz’s E.S. Pro 1 Earbuds: Competitors Only

    Remember folks: "gaming audio" means "shit audio". You can buy superior earphones for $10 on aliexpress or gearbest. The boom mic integrated into the earphone is interesting for being so compact; I haven't seen it done before, but I'm really not confident about the quality of the microphone either.

    LeTV Le Max Pro Brings Many Smartphone "Firsts" For 2016

    A LeTV phone is a bit like a Youtube phone. I used to watch lots of US shows on LeTV when I was in China. Shame they've omitted the microSD card.

    FiiO E10K Olympus2 for DT880

    I need a second opinion on the capabilities of the E10K. I have a pair of 250Ohm DT880s, and of course the problem is that the E10K is rated up to 150Ohm. Some people seem to think it will drive my cans no problem, but I really want to be sure. My Realtek ALC889A has trouble when it comes to...

    Audio, Audio, Audio: The Key To Virtual Reality Immersion Is The Audio

    Audio huh? I'm not saying it's not important, but am I the only one who thinks immersion implies touch, smell, physical movement in the real world translating in the virtual one? Sure we need good audio, but let's stop fellating ourselves over half measures.

    Looking for headphones exclusively for home and computer use ($100-200)

    I'd like to get a decent pair of cans that I will only be using at home, and probably only on my PC. I have no amp/dac, nor a dedicated sound card at the moment. I've been comparing various Beyerdynamic DT series, and realised that some people seem to favour the dt770 over the others because...

    Best Smartphones (Archive)

    How about you read the part in the beginning of the article where they list the phones they are "currently evaluating".
