Fender has added a new personal amp to its line-up, with the Fender Mustang Micro not only adding some individual amplification but throwing in tones and effects too. Joining the Mustang series as the smallest – and most affordable – model, the Mustang Micro is more compact than a cellphone but still has space to fit Bluetooth and more. Unlike standalone amps, the Mustang Micro is designed to plug directly into the guitar’s output. A set of wired headphones plug into it in turn, and then you get a choice of 12 different amp models to flip between. There are…

Sonos Roam isn’t just the company’s most affordable connected speaker so far, it also introduces a new feature to make managing music playback easier. Sound Swap allows you to bypass the app when you’re in a hurry to get going, flipping music from a traditional Sonos speaker over to your Sonos Roam so you can head elsewhere in the house or outside. Sound Swap makes juggling playback easy If you want to move your music from a fixed speaker to Roam, you could of course use the app. That takes a few button presses, however, which is where Sound Swap…
Sonos Roam reviews may have dropped this morning, but the new portable speaker isn’t the only thing the company is getting excited about, with the prospect of a new IKEA Symfonisk launch in the pipeline. The collaboration between Sonos and IKEA broke cover back in 2019, with two initial products tapping the multi-room audio tech of one company and the low pricing strategy of the other. Most affordable was the IKEA Symfonisk bookshelf speaker. At $99, it’s half the price of a Sonos One, though with similar audio performance. It’s also designed to be positioned either horizontally or vertically, and…
Sonos needs a gateway for new users, and the Sonos Roam is its answer. What looks like a regular Bluetooth speaker actually hides double the functionality: a portable speaker when you’re on the go, a full-fledged Sonos speaker around the house, and all wrapped up in a ruggedized housing and the company’s lowest price for a new speaker so far. Okay, at $169 it’s cheap for a Sonos product but on the expensive side for a Bluetooth speaker. This isn’t Sonos’ first ride on the portable speaker rodeo, of course, though Roam sticks far closer to the mainstream than Move ever…
TP-link has been making networking gear and other products for a long time. The company has debuted its latest AX5400 dual-band gigabit Wi-Fi 6 router called the Archer AX73. The router supports data speeds of up to 5400 Mbps for fast browsing, streaming, and downloading various content at the same time.

Although it has long been playing in the PC gaming market, Lenovo’s Legion brand arrived late to the smartphone game. While the likes of the ASUS ROG Phone is already at its fourth major iteration, Lenovo will only be announcing its second gaming phone this week. The Lenovo Legion 2 Pro, however, has a few tricks up its sleeves that keep it distinct from its peers, including a different spin on the built-in cooling fan design, no pun intended. The Lenovo Legion 2 Pro won’t be the first phone to have a tiny fan keeping things cool, at the expense…
Even before Apple introduced its first Arm-based Apple Silicon, Microsoft was already making attempts at bringing Windows to Arm, specifically Qualcomm Snapdragon, computers without much success. In addition to unimpressive performance, Windows 10 on Arm felt more like an afterthought that even Microsoft forgot over the years. The popularity of the M1 Macs, however, may have spurred Microsoft into action and, at long last, it has brought its enterprise Microsoft Defender for Endpoint solution to Windows 10 on Arm, including its own Surface Pro X. Users might know Microsoft Defender as the company’s first-party antivirus software but it is actually…
Android Auto looks set to get a whole new batch of apps, with Google opening the door a little wider when it comes to software designed to run on your dashboard. The company is now allowing navigation, parking, and charging apps to publish in the Google Play store, giving the smartphone projection system a much-needed injection of fresh functionality. Android Auto – not to be confused with the similarly-named Android Automotive OS – runs on an Android smartphone, but projects an interface which takes over the display in compatible vehicle infotainment systems. That way, you get access to Android apps,…
Samsung may offer its powerhouse Galaxy S series and stylish Galaxy A series in the US, but it seems we may be missing out on maximum battery life compared to users in other markets. At least, that’s the clear takeaway from the new Samsung Galaxy F12, freshly announced with a whopping 6,000 mAh battery. By way of comparison, the Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G has a 5,000 mAh battery, and that was already sizable. The Galaxy Z Fold 2 – which has two displays to run – makes do with 4,500 mAh. Weirdly, then, Samsung isn’t making particularly grand promises for…
Yahoo has quietly announced that it will shutter its Yahoo Answers platform this summer, redirecting users to the Yahoo homepage and scrubbing its vast user-submitted archives from the Internet. Users who participated on the platform have the option of saving their data before the service goes dark, but you only have a few weeks to get it. Yahoo revealed the decision to shut down Yahoo Answers using a banner placed at the top of the website. The notice, which was first spied by The Verge, notes that this is the only change coming to Yahoo at this time and that…
