By Kathleen Chapman / April 12, 2017 / Reviews / Home and Kitchen, Home Security / 6 Comments

I reviewed the Netatmo Presence Outdoor Security camera a few months ago and really, REALLY enjoy using it because it uses deep learning to tell the differences between people, animals, cars, and other motions thus virtually eliminating unnecessary motion detection alerts.

SoundMagic BT100 Bluetooth over-ear headphones review

By Smythe Richbourg / April 11, 2017 / Reviews / Audio gear, Bluetooth headphones, TV, Video / Leave a Comment

We all know the logic: the larger the speaker, the better the bass. With headphones, this means that over-the-ear units are going to sound better than similar quality on-ear or earbud units. So I was really excited when I was offered the SoundMagic BT100s to test. SHARE ON TwitterFacebookPin It
