Review: The OnePlus Buds Pro are legit AirPods Pro competitors for $150

I haven’t been a huge fan of OnePlus’ various earbuds so far. They’veeither been uncomfortable, had poor controls, or didn’t sound that great. The one thing they’ve always had going for them is a low price tag. TheOnePlus Buds Pro, the company’s first model with noise-canceling — which are clearly ‘inspired’ by the AirPods Pro — finally get it right. Well, mostly. But at $150, it’s hard to fault them....

Review: The Pixel 5a is a bigger, better, cheaper Pixel 5

Here are the most notable features and specs: The Pixel 4a 5G was already a great value device that made sense over the Pixel 5 for people on a budget, but the Pixel 5a kicks that up a notch. The addition of water resistance, an extra beefy battery, and an even bigger screen really make it a steal. In fact, as far as I can tell, the Pixel 5a only loses to thePixel 5on four fronts:...

Review: The Priority Current ebike is my new benchmark for smoothness and power

The more I test ebikes, the more I realize how much it matters to me that the ride a normal bike. Not because I’m an avid cyclist — I hadn’t ridden a normal bike in years before I started testing ebikes — but because a smooth, responsive ride is just more engaging. Unfortunately, some of my favorite bikes in this regard also tend to be weaker on power delivery. I usually don’t mind a motor with less power, but sometimes I do miss the extra oomph....

Review: The Surface Laptop Studio is the most versatile PC ever made

Let’s get this out of the way: The Surface Laptop Studio isn’t the laptop you buy if you want the best specs for the money. If that’s what you’re looking for, you can stop reading. Microsoft says it’s the most powerfulSurfaceever, but the device simply isn’t going to provide you with the performance per dollar you’d get from some traditional laptop Windows competitors, let alone Apple’s MacBooks and their overpowered ARM chips or gaming PC’s with mega-powerful GPUs....

Review: The Tenways ebike is a lightweight, stealthy steal for under $1500

We have a rule about crowdfunding campaigns here at TNW: with rare exceptions, we don’t cover crowdfunded products unless they’re from an already established company with a proven track record or we get to demo a fully functional prototype. With theTenways C-Go 600 ebike, it was the latter case. And I’m really glad I did get to try it because this ebike is fantastic — no gimmicks necessary. At $1,000-1,500 (Tenways has not settled on a final price yet), the bike offers a Gates Carbon belt drive, a stealthy appearance that doesn’t betray its electric nature, a weight of 15 kg (33 lbs), and one of the smoothest pedaling experiences of any ebike I’ve ridden....
