Title: Cygnett GrooveAtomic - High performance earphones reviewed @ TestFreaks.com
Review Link: http://www.testfreaks.com/blog/review/cygnett-grooveatomic-high-performance-earphones-reviewed/
Review Snipit:
“With all the types of portable devices out there today that use headphones we’ve got a plethora of choices when it comes to finding decent set of headphones that won’t break our budgets. Today for review I’ve got a very inexpensive set of in ear headphones from Cygnett, called the GrooveAtomic. The first thing you’ll notice about these is the quality of them, they’re made very well, mostly metal in fact, and really considering the price they don’t sound too bad… “

Title: SilverStone Raven RVM01B Mouse @ Phoronix
Direct Link: http://www.phoronix.com/vr.php?view=12893
Summary: “While SilverStone Technology has long been known for their high-end (and very expensive) computer cases such as the Sugo and Temjin series, as of late they’ve begun manufacturing other computer peripherals while driving new and interesting innovations into these conventional products. Earlier this month we looked at the SilverStone Treasure TS01, which was a 2.5" SATA drive enclosure, but separating it from the other enclosure devices on the market, this one would encrypt the drive and secure it using two RFID keys. If these small keys were not exposed to the TS01, the drive enclosure would not work. Another interesting creation from SilverStone Technology is the Raven RVM01B. This here is SilverStone’s first computer mouse and we are looking at it today.”

Title: Samsung BD-P1500 Blu-Ray Player Review at Overclockers Online
Link: http://www.overclockersonline.net/?page=articles&num=2021
Quote: Samsung makes another return to Overclockers Online but this time we get the luxury of reviewing the Samsung BD-P1500 Blu-ray DVD player. This is not Samsung’s first Blu-ray player as it’s the 4th generation model and there have been significant improvements over this model and the BD-P1400, the model replaced by the P1500. The P1400 had average performance and we’ll soon see if the P1500 has solved all of those.

Title:
Ultimate Ears Super.Fi 4 Sound Isolating Earphones Reviewed @ TheTechLounge
Quote:
“The
super.fi 4’s really ended up winning me over because the whole package was spot on for what I look for in a set of headphones. Ultimate Ears nailed the styling for me with an attractive, minimalist design. Comfort is paramount for anyone looking to put some serious hours into his or her phones, and there’s definitely a bunch of upside to be found with this set. I loved the soft, supple ear tips, and the low weight encouraged me to pass my Shures on to a new owner. The build quality felt solid throughout, and you get a two-year warranty from Ultimate Ears. The sound quality is very well rounded, easily equaling other phones of this level that I have had experience with. I don’t mind dealing with the few issues I found because the
super.fi 4’s have so much going for them. Ultimate Ears also offers an iPhone-friendly set with an inline mic and control button for about $20 more, which may deal with the cable length issue for some.”

AMD continues their procession of new ATI Radeons today, with a couple of new entry-level offerings targeted at users who would like to upgrade from underpowered IGPs. Like the Radeon HD 4670 that came before it, the new Radeon HD 4550 and HD 4350 being rolled out today are based on the same GPU architecture first introduced with the popular Radeon HD 4800 series. The Radeon HD 4550 and HD 4350 both offer support for DirectX 10.1, DisplayPort, AVIVO with the UVD 2 engine, and CrossFire, although they do not have CrossFire bridge connectors like AMD’s higher-end offerings. As such, these new entry-level cards sport virtually all of the same features as their more expensive, and more powerful, counterparts–they just perform on a different level. Come on by the site and check it out.

NEW CONTENT (Visual) - Force3D Radeon HD 4870 Black Edition Graphics Card
QUOTE: “If you haven’t heard of Force3D before, you’re not alone. It wasn’t until the other day when I received an email from them that I knew of their existence. Concentrating on ATI based graphics cards, they have a full line-up of HD 4000 series cards starting from the HD 4650 and going all the way up to the HD 4870 X2.
The majority of their products currently consist of only using reference coolers it seems, but they have begun to diversify. The particular card we’re looking at today is the HD 4870 Black Edition which was only recently announced. The HD 4870 Black Edition from Force3D is packing some serious cooling, but before we get into that we’ll quickly take a moment to check out the package and bundle that Force3D have put together.”

TITLE: Sapphire Radeon HD 4870 Toxic Video Card @ Benchmark Reviews
DESCRIPTION: Anyone who has heard of ATI video cards has probably heard of Sapphire Technology. Sapphire is the largest producer of AMD/ATI graphics products in the world, and do far more than rebrand a product with their own label. The Radeon HD 4000 series launched with tremendous success not long ago, and Sapphire has tweaked the design to produce their own high-performance Toxic Edition of the popular Radeon HD 4870 video card. In this article, Benchmark Reviews tests their graphics card against the competition to find out if a factory-overclocked model is worth the money.
