Overall Findings These two iPad models are so similar that most of the differences that influence buyers are screen size, speed, and availability. Screen size is a matter of personal preference, although bigger is usually better for productivity, while the speeds are almost the same. Because Apple discontinued both of these models, the ability to find them online is part of the buying decision. Availability: iPad mini 2 Is Easier to Find Screen Resolution: Smaller Screen Ups PPI The inclusion of the same 2048x1536 resolution Retina display on both iPads means the iPad mini 2 out-Retinas the iPad Air....

Video doorbells allow you to keep a watchful eye on your front porch and speak to visitors without answering the door, and the iseeBell is one of the more affordable options available. Although it doesn’t give you some of the bells and whistles you’d get with a more expensive doorbell from a name brand, the iseeBell is supposed to be a basic but reliable offering. I tested the iseeBell to see how it performs compared to some of the more well-known brands on the market....

Balabolka uses Microsoft’s Speech API (SAPI 4 and 5) to convert text into synthesized speech. You can tweak voices using Balabolka’s interface to change parameters such as pitch and speed. The program outputs audio in formats with extensions including MP3, WMA, OGG, WAV, AAC and AMR (probably the best format for voice)....

The M MOOCK 1000A Peak 18000mAh Car Jump Starter is one of the more sophisticated options in the jump starter market, especially in terms of presentation. It comes in a zippered, faux-leather case with elastic netting pouches to contain the unit and its accessories. To see how much substance was behind the style, it was tested against a 2011 Hyundai Elantra with a depleted battery to see if it could bring it back to life....

One of the new MacBook Pro’s best features is the breakaway, magnet-powered MagSafe charging port. It’s convenient, it’s safe (of course), and it lets you know if your Mac is charged with a glance from across the room, thanks to its built-in LED indicator. Over the years, countless Macs have been saved by the breakaway connector snapping free, instead of dragging the poor Mac to its doom. But if it’s so good, why did Apple ditch it in the first place?...

This allows you to bring the joy of a robust sound system from the theater into your home—and it’s a game-changer for movie nights and the weekend binge. Monoprice, known for developing quality speakers at an affordable price, has taken their beloved but clunky 33309 5....

The quantity and variety of budget-oriented headphones can be truly daunting. There are many unfamiliar brands out there, their quality often dubious, and many come with serious caveats.

The Polaroid 64GB High Speed SD Card is U3 rated and ready for 4K recording. Like many manufacturers of the best SD cards, they make bold claims about the maximum speeds that we weren’t able to fully prove out in our testing, but that doesn’t mean it didn’t perform well compared to the competition. Let’s look at how this card stacks up, and see how worthy it’s of your consideration....

When you encrypt all outgoing messages by default, you compose and send emails as you normally would, but recipients need a digital ID or passcode to view them....

But they don’t offer are any bells and whistles—no noise-canceling technology, no automatic pairing, and not even the sleekest design....

How Does Smart Glass Work? Although the smart glass industry likes to use the word glass, most of the time the actual smart part is made by using a substrate made of various plastic films. The smart substrate contains multiple layers with a separator between them. Each layer is made from different material and each manufacturer has their own secret sauce, but typically lithium cobalt oxide is used on one layer and polycrystalline tungsten oxide on the other....

Sony’s neckband speakers are marketed as home-entertainment accessories, bringing surround sound to individual listeners, and avoiding the ear fatigue of headphones. Smaller and much less intrusive than a full surround speaker setup, they’re pretty good for this purpose, if you’re watching alone. But why limit yourself to movies? Neckbands are the perfect walk-around speaker for home. “If you have sensitive ears or don’t like how headphones fit or feel, you might [like] a neckband speaker option....

Spotify Hi-Fi will stream lossless audio to devices, and directly to speakers. It should make streamed audio every bit as good as CDs, or other high-quality sources. But given that we all listen to music on crappy Bluetooth speakers, or via earbuds and AirPods, we might not be able to hear the difference. “I believe most people are listening to music on the [Spotify default] 160kbps or even 320kbps setting,” musician and music-video creator Calvin West told Lifewire via email....

In the case of a pre-amplifier, the signal must be amplified enough to be accepted by a power amplifier. In the case of a power amplifier, the signal must be enlarged much more, enough to power a loudspeaker. Although amplifiers appear to be big, mysterious boxes, the basic operating principles are relatively simple....
