[ad_1] Owlet Hardware The third-gen Owlet sock is much like its predecessors: A sensor shines light through the skin and, using the light that shines back, it then estimates the baby’s blood flow and oxygen level. The Owlet sensor fits inside a fabric “sock” that pairs to a WiFi connected base station, and the base […]

Apple Watch SE review: An excellent starter smartwatch
[ad_1] watchOS 7 and new features If you’ve used an Apple Watch before, most of the SE’s features will be familiar. The knob is a handy way to scroll through notifications, apps and volume controls, and together with the button it offers several nifty shortcuts. Long pressing the digital crown triggers Siri, while pressing the […]
Sennheiser CX 400BT review: Great-sounding mid-range wireless earbuds
[ad_1] Sennheiser says the CX 400BT has the same “acoustical system” as the Momentum True Wireless 2. That includes the 7mm “dynamic drivers” the company used in the pricier model. The sound quality is quite good on this new set of earbuds. There’s outstanding clarity in the details of most genres and a deep, warm […]
Galaxy Tab S7 and S7+ review: Samsung’s best can’t fix Android’s flaws
[ad_1] The trackpad is also slightly wider than before, which gives you extra space for gestures like pinch to zoom or three-finger swipe to switch apps. The touchpad felt slightly sluggish, though, and I often just ended up connecting a Bluetooth mouse. The Surface Pro’s trackpad is more responsive, while the iPad’s smart keyboard folio […]
NVIDIA RTX 3080 review: A huge leap for 4K gaming with raytracing
[ad_1] The 3080 Founders Edition card we reviewed isn’t much bigger than the 2080 Ti. It has a sleek, almost office-professional aesthetic that’s a nice contrast to the gaudy third-party cards we’ll inevitably see. The cooling is also dramatically different: NVIDIA made the PCB more dense to fit a fan that blows air directly through […]
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 review: Waiting on the world to change
[ad_1] Some apps, like Lightroom, simply refuse to acknowledge that second, bigger screen. When you launch it, it appears in the center of this display, looking just like it does on a smartphone. (Never mind the fact that Lightroom runs admirably on regular Android tablets.) AccuWeather treats the open Fold 2 screen as a tablet […]
Android 11 review: An incremental update that needs some polish
[ad_1] Since I still have to go through the entire notifications list instead of dealing with just the alerts near the top, the new section headers actually add to the amount of scrolling and swiping I have to do. Google placing conversations near the top is nice in theory, but it leaves out people I […]
KeyStep Pro Review: A near-perfect MIDI controller for hardware synth fans
[ad_1] It’s also worth noting that there are a lot of shift functions on this keyboard. Most of them are clearly labeled and self-explanatory, but it will take a while to commit them to muscle memory. All but one of the 37 keys has a shift function. As do most of the buttons. The most […]
macOS Big Sur preview: five things you should know before installing
[ad_1] I generally find these changes pleasing enough, though obviously that’s a matter of personal taste. What’s been most jarring to me is probably that toolbar buttons are now just floating symbols, like you might find in iOS. There’s no “border” showing where to click, though when you hover your mouse over there’s a gray […]
MOD Duo X review: A do-it-all music box with potential
[ad_1] The synth modules leave something to be desired, honestly. There are some gems in here like TAL Noise Maker, AmSynth, Triceratops and the incredible DX-7 emulator Dexed (the latter two still being in beta). But, there are also a lot of SoundFont players, which are good for recreating ‘90s video game scores (and not […]
