Best Action Cameras

GoPro Hero 13 Black wins

“As an active cyclist, I bought the DJI Osmo A4 about 6 months ago just b/c of the battery life, magnetic mount, lighter and smaller. Now though, I might consider getting the GP H13, with the magnetic mount being implemented, GPS return, slight increase in battery life, and all of the additional features.”

Best Bluetooth Speakers

JBL Charge 5 wins

“I always tend to move a couple of generations back when it comes to technology. The well-received Charge 6 is currently £169.99 in the U.K. I got a Charge 5 next day delivery for £72.00. No competition and gives little away to its successor. I am not too troubled about bells n’ whistles, plumping for just good sound quality and I am highly satisfied with the Charge 5. I also got a hard zip case made by another brand which has finished the package off, nicely.”

Best E-readers

Kindle Paperwhite wins

“The best Kindle and best e-reader I've ever had. And I had most of the Kindles throughout the years. It's the perfect size, super fast, backlight is great, Amazon e- book offerings are still the best.”

Best Headphones

Sony WH-1000XM5 wins

“I've had these for 7 months now. I bought these, and the best Bose and Beats to test them at home for which one was the best sound and noise cancelling. My son and I did a blind test on both of us. We both chose these for both sound quality and noise cancelling, wasn't even close. I used them for a 20 hour flight to Thailand and they were a life saver. Super comfortable. Battery lasted the entire trip. Had a crying baby three seats away, couldn't hear the baby at all when playing music at a normal level.”

Best Mesh Wifi Systems

TP-Link Deco X55 wins

“Just picked up the deco x55 ax3000 and it's been a few weeks now. I find that my wifi connection cuts out at random when walking around my house. Just for a second then it connects again at full strength. It almost seems to do the opposite of what it is advertising - not seamlessly switching to other decos.”

Best Noise-cancelling Earbuds

Sony WF-1000XM5 wins

“The sound quality is excellent. The audio is crisp, well-separated, and reveals details in your music you may have never noticed before. The noise cancellation is impressive... The foam ear tips are my biggest complaint. They're uncomfortable, put pressure on the ear canal, are difficult to clean, and wear out fairly quickly.”

Best OLED Televisions

LG C3 OLED evo wins

“I have a C3 with over 9k hours and zero burn in.”

Best Portable Power Stations

EcoFlow Delta 2 wins

“During a power outage lasting more than a day, my neighbors are running their generators day and night. I use my noiseless Delta 2 Max for a whole day and charge it with a generator in one hour. During Hurricane Helene, neighbors ran out of propane, and had trouble finding more. I kept chugging along for eight weeks with no grid power on two 20# propane bottles, charging my Ecoflow for one generator hour each morning. When it's not running our house in a power outage, it lives in my camper and runs all my camper appliances.”

Best Portable SSDs

Samsung T7 Shield wins

“Totally agreed. I purchased 3 of these, all 3 needed to be returned to Amazon. I have 1 4TB Sandisk that's (thankfully) still working, purchased last year. Sandisk's customer service didn't even reply. Thank you for posting this! Samsung T7s are truly the answer 😄”

Best Power Banks

Anker 737 wins

“I've carried my Anker 737 to every international trip I've done, and I'm happy I do. I'll occasionally forget to charge my devices, and it's large enough that it'll still have enough charge to last for a while. ”

Best Smartwatches

Apple Watch Series 11 wins

“I’m new to apple, I just switched from Samsung. I never thought I’d ever get an iphone nor an Apple Watch. I was able to get the Apple Watch 11 and I like it. It’s a beautiful design it feels very comfortable around my wrist.”

Best Soundbars

Samsung HW-Q990B wins

“I got the Q990B, if there's a whisper in my ear, THERE'S A FUCKING WHISPER IN MY EAR.. I love it! Makes it so I don't feel like i need to use my headset all the time if I just wanna kick back an enjoy a game✌️😊”

Best Tablets

Apple iPad (10th Gen) wins

“It’s tempting to look at the iPad 10 through the wrong end of the telescope. It’s easy to compare it to the iPad Air 4/5 and grumble about how it’s inferior and doesn’t hold up, regards feature set or pricing. But we should remember the insane value proposition it offers, especially in the USA. I picked one up for work (£499.99) as I didn’t want to spend too much but the cheaper Gen 9 model was dated and showing it’s age... For the times I’ve had to use it at work, the iPad 10 absolutely devours all tasks because it’s an extremely capable iPad; it surfs, streams, plays games and does productivity really well and is built (unlike the flexible/warping Air 5 LCD) like a tank.”

Best USB Microphones

Blue Yeti wins

“I just wanted to say that I have more than a little professional production experience, and the Blue Yeti is what I would call an 80/20 mic. The Yeti will get you more than 80% there when placed correctly in an acoustically treated space for most people. Placement and treatment can be close to free cost-wise. Also, add a $10 pop filter, and you'll be fine.”

Best Wireless Earbuds

AirPods Pro 2 wins

“(FWIW I can absolutely tell and I have a wall of really good headphones, and I still listen to the AirPods Pro 2 more than anything else (aka lossy Bluetooth streaming).)”
