LG teases round revision of its Android Wear watch

After apparently realizing that some users might prefer a round smart watch over a plain jane square model like it's current G Watch, LG is apparently going to copy the direction of Motorola and ship a round Android Wear watch. A leak shows some highlights of the new LG G Watch R which is expected to break ground at IFA. Poking fun at the Moto 360, LG is promising a 'perfect circle' meaning that the the LG watch will really be round and not have a black bar at the bottom of the screen. Good news for people wanting some variety in Android Wear devices.

Review: Mazda CX-5 2015

This is no Miata, but the CX-5 has as much Zoom as you’ll find in its class.

The now ubiquitous CUV segment is crowded to say the least. The likes of the Honda CRV, Toyota RAV 4, Ford Escape and Mazda CX-5 (formerly Tribute) have been vying for space in Canadian garages for years now.

Review: Parrot Zik Yellow Gold bluetooth headphones

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

During the course of the year, I get to try and test various headphones and headsets. Some of them come as partners to devices like smartphones and PCs, others are standalone wired on-hear or earbud type headphones as well as wireless bluetooth headphones. Throughout my tests, I realized there is no perfect pair and that it is a process of finding the best solution for my use case with the least compromises. 

One model I keep coming back to is Parrot’s Zik smart headphones. Admittedly a premium set of cans with a lot to set it apart from the rest of the gaggle. It is designed by Philippe Starck, the audio has been tuned by late music icon Lou Reed and it features lavish leather on yellow gold treatment that’s visually striking but still rather muted.
