Razer Phantom White Review – Part 01, Well 02 Really

On the back of our recent review of the Razer Barracuda X Chroma in Phantom White here. We have also been checking out the Razer Firefly V2 Pro and the Razer Basilisk V3 Pro 35K, both in Phantom White. Retailing at £109.99 and £169.99 respectively, these are not cheap upgrades, and because they look incredible together, we are going to review them together. The Glow Just Gets Better Although these are available in other colours, the Phantom White just shouts nostalgia from the rooftops. So I couldn't be happier when we received them in the post. Let's find out whether or not your hard-earned money should be used on getting a hold of this hardware. Razer Firefly V2 Pro Probably my favourite of the two products we are going to look at today. This large, fully illuminated mouse pad is...

Majority Pulse 1 Portable Speaker

The Pulse 1 is a portable party speaker from Majority. It's the smallest of the Pulse range at half the size of the other 4 speakers currently available. This speaker retails at around £99.99 in the UK, although at the time of writing, Currys are offering it for just £69.99. Despite its smaller stature, is the Pulse 1 still a great option for parties? Let's find out. Disco On The Go Design Standing at just over 32cm tall and 24cm wide and deep, the Pulse 1 is a short and stocky speaker. It's not overly large as to impact portability and weighs just over 3kg. During my time with it, I've found it very easy to pick up and carry, thanks to the built in handle, which gives generous clearance even for larger hands. The top of the speaker features a control panel for adjusting the vol...

Razer Barracuda X Chroma Phantom White Headset Review

It's another week, and it feels like a regular occurrence when a Razer review comes to town. This time we are looking at the Razer Barracuda X Chroma Phantom White headset. The Barracuda line has been around for quite a while, but back in 2022 the whole range got a revamp. Numerous other Barracuda headsets were released, but recently the Phantom White Suite dropped. Being touted as a headset resulting from feedback from the community, it had high hopes. Bringing wireless audio and dynamic illumination into one seemingly cohesive entity. Has Razer hit another highlight in the headset market? Lightweight Comfort and Durability Razer products are both loved and hated in the industry. I have always loved the Razer lineup, especially their headsets. Whilst for audio purists they may not have ...

HYTE X50 Air PC Case Review

You might have seen HYTE doing the rounds on social media. Showing off cases with fancy screens on the side, all made of glass. In fact you may have read some of our articles about them too. Well, recently the PR team got in touch and offered us their newest case to get hands on with; the HYTE X50 Air. When it arrived, one thing was for sure: this was a heavy case. And even heavier with the PC components inside. Full disclosure, I didn't actually transfer my PC components into this case yet. I fully intend to transplant my current setup into this case, but with a couple of upgrades on the horizon, I thought it best to wait. HYTE Bringing Something New So what do you usually look for in a case? Sheer size, or just the ease of access? The HYTE X50 Air has both in abundance, with plenty ...
