Review: TCL 20S

TCL has been one of the sleepers in the smartphone market. They’ve flown under the radar by offering affordable yet unremarkable smartphones that offer a lot of convenience and value.

Review: Mobile Pixels Duex Plus Portable Laptop Monitor

Road warriors, remote workers, and students hungry for screen real estate have a precious few options, especially if they are working in a limited space.

You have dual dials that can toggle volume and 13-levels of noise cancellation. You can also touch the surface of each headphone to pause, or play audio, and there’s an easy mute button on the right headphone.

In this context, the Surface Headphones 2, do stand out with 18-hour battery life and a comfortable and surprisingly lightweight design.
