Are Wireless earbuds any good for gaming? ASUS Cetra Speednova review [Video]

Jordan Druber -
Best of ElectronicsforwardNewsReviews

While wireless earbuds are increasingly popular because of their small size and affordable nature, the water gets murkier when it comes to gaming. Not only do they need to sound good and preferably be affordable, but they also need decent battery life and be comfortable for longer gaming sessions. For those reasons, I’ve only found a few wireless gaming earbuds that I’ve actually enjoyed using. I’ll mainly be talking about the recent ASUS ROG Cetra SpeedNova true wireless earbuds for this review, but I’ll also sprinkle in my experiences with other earbuds I’ve tried over years and what makes them stand out or, more often than not, what makes me put them back in the box. Be sure to hit the video below for all of the details.

Review: JBL PartyBox Stage 320 Speaker – a 36-pound monster that blew me away

Buy Now!

I’ve had the pleasure of using quite a few Bluetooth speakers over the years, with some of my recent favorites being the Marshall Kilburn II and Tribit StormBox Micro. So when JBL offered to let me review its new PartyBox 320, I was interested, but not necessarily ecstatic. That started to change once I began digging into the specifications and realized just how monstrous and powerful this speaker could wind up being. My suspicions were confirmed when this 36-pound monster arrived in the mail.

While unboxing the JBL PartyBox Stage 320, I couldn’t help but smile. Looking back, I think it’s because I knew that the size and heft meant that this thing was going to pack a punch. Seeing the actual speaker helped seal the deal too, with loads of easy-to-access controls, plenty of inputs around back, and wheels along the base paired with a handle up top that make it easier to roll it from one place to another. I couldn’t wait to start trying it out, so keep on reading to hear about my experience unboxing, pairing, and using this powerful speaker.

Tested: Linkind’s Matter smart light bulbs reliably work with Apple Home at a shockingly low price

AmazonSmart HomeTested with ElectronicsforwardLINKIND
$5.50 each

I bought my first smart light bulb well over a decade ago now. Over time, I’ve tried countless brands of smart bulbs, smart plugs to control lamps, and have even swapped out light switches for smart ones. Now my home has a mixture of all those things, and I would have it no other way. I’ve generally leaned on Philips Hue for smart bulbs because they’re one of the most platform-agnostic solutions out there, but the arrival of Matter has changed the game. This paved the way for me to eventually try out a 4-pack of Linkind Matter-enabled smart light bulbs at an incredibly low price. Continue reading for my hands-on impressions as part of the latest entry to the Tested with Electronicsforward series.

Prime Day 2024: Prepare for the biggest sale event of the year, Prime membership deals, more

AmazonPrime Day 2024
Prime prep

Amazon Prime Day is quickly approaching now, scheduled to take flight in about one-month’s time with what is primed to be the biggest deal event of the year thus far. Amazon stepped in this year with a new Big Spring Sale to take us out of the winter months with some solid discount opportunities across just about all major categories, but it wasn’t on the same level as last year’s Prime events, and certainly not what we are expecting for next month’s summer Prime Day sale. These events can sometimes feel like a cash grab, Amazon and the brands it carries just trying to bolster sales, and that is the case, but they are also a fantastic chance to save cash while bringing home the gear and essentials you need for the rest of the year and beyond.

We have been covering and ranking leather iPhone cases around here for years, I have reviewed something like 100 of them alone, and one brand that has been consistently in the short list over the last couple of years is SANDMARC. Anyone who has read my reviews already knows this, and knows it well.

This is a really good leather iPhone case, you’ll find our exclusive discount code below, and some of our hands-on impressions of the latest lineup.
