I want to begin this review by stating that the Photonic Disruptor by Wicked Lasers is not a toy. It is a ‘laser weapon designed for military and law enforcement use only’.

Well, I popped my favourite earphones to one side and have been reviewing the ‘Woodphones’ from Artwizz for the last few days.
