Dbrand Killswitch: The ultimate case for your Switch 2?

2 weeks ago | talkandroid.com | Jared Peters

Dbrand jumped on the Nintendo Switch 2 train early, and their signature Killswitch case is already available for the latest handheld console on the market. We got our hands on one to test it out on your next Mario Kart machine. If you haven't had a chance to use a Switch 2 yet, it's a bit bigger than the Switch 1 but still has some of the same ergonomic drawbacks. That's putting it nicely, but bluntly, it still isn't great to hold, and this time, it's bigger.

Yeedi S14 Plus Robot Vacuum: Ditch the maid, this has you covered

2 months ago | talkandroid.com | Jared Peters

Vacuuming and mopping is easily one of the worst parts of the weekly chore rotation, and that old vacuum you got from Best Buy a few years ago probably isn't holding up as well as you want it to, right? That's exactly where a robot vacuum comes in. You download an app, let it scan your house, and it'll take care of the automatic vacuuming duties. Easy, right? It usually is, but not all of these robovacs are built equally.
Godzilla X Kong: Titan Chasers Review: Safe and familiar, but fun

Mar 11, 2025 | talkandroid.com | Jared Peters

Godzilla and King Kong dominate their niche of giant monsters on big screens, and for good reasons. They're iconic, and even when the movies are bad they're still fun. But neither creature has really made huge strides into the video game space. Sure, there was that King Kong tie-in game back around the launch of the Xbox 360 that was actually pretty good, but you're more likely to see a knock-off of Kalju in a video game than actual Godzilla.

Jan 29, 2025 | talkandroid.com | Jared Peters

Tribit is one of the more popular brands of Bluetooth speakers and headphones, typically delivering solid value and sound quality. They've got a huge range of devices, too, from tiny earbuds to massive speakers, and today we're getting to check out one of those incredibly big, incredibly loud Bluetooth speakers. The StormBox Blast 2 is an upgraded successor to the original StormBox Blast, offering massive sound to fill up your parties and gigantic, empty warehouses.
Edifier NeoDots Headphones review: Almost Perfect

Dec 28, 2024 | talkandroid.com | Jared Peters

Edifier is one of our favorite brands to review for audio gear. We've checked out plenty of their speakers and headphones and typically have a good experience, so you know we were going to be excited to check out their latest NeoDots earbuds. Priced at $129, these are competing right alongside models like Samsung's Galaxy Buds3 and Apple's AirPods. Can Edifier hold up next to some pretty tough competition? In my opinion, the Edifier NeoDots have a pretty unique design.
HMD Skyline review: Weird phones are cool again

Sep 16, 2024 | talkandroid.com | Jared Peters

The HMD Skyline debuted last month, offering a wallet-friendly price tag, a strange design, and lots of repairability options. Considering the state of smartphones in 2024, that's all pretty unusual. So, of course, we had to test this self-proclaimed “repair-it-yourself phone for creators” and see if it was worth the cost. Who doesn't want to be able to repair their own stuff again? The HMD Skyline has a striking design.
Export your Apple Music playlists to YouTube Music (officially)

Sep 2, 2024 | talkandroid.com | Jared Peters

Apple has announced a new feature that's pretty strange for a company that thrives on keeping users in the Apple ecosystem: an official way to export playlists to another music service. While it's very unlike Apple, it can be incredibly useful for someone looking to test another service and ditch Apple Music for any reason. We'll show you how it works. Apple's transfer tool is integrated into its Data & Privacy Page, which functions kind of like Google Takeout.

Aug 19, 2024 | talkandroid.com | Jared Peters

The ELO Vagabond is a Kickstarter success story. The original campaign launched last year, and mass production finished in August 2024, about a week before writing this article. Sometimes, these crowdfunded ideas are a little sketchy, but the Vagabond seems to be a fully functional, well-designed concept that's made its way into customer's hands with relatively few headaches. But is it worth buying now after the campaign has ended? We got our hands on one to find out.
