Samsung’s Galaxy Watch5 Pro Is The Best Android Smartwatch On The Market, For Now
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bernard Smalls / Samsung Galaxy Watch5 Pro Like smartphones, wearables like smartwatches are becoming more advanced with the arrival of new models every year. Before Apple announced its new Apple Watch Ultra, Samsung pulled the cover off the Galaxy Watch5 Pro. We spent some time with the Korean tech giant’s latest smartwatch and were very impressed. With the arrival of the Galaxy Watch5 Pro alongside its newest model of foldable Galaxy smartphones, Samsung is going with the motto bigger is better. Related Stories It’s easily Samsung’s biggest smartwatch and, at the same time, its boldest, coming in at a $449 starting price point. Even though it is bulky, it still manages to be smaller than most fitness watches. But enough about the optics, is the Galaxy W...

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bernard Smalls / HyperX Cloud Mix Buds Headsets are always great, but gamers have been screaming for a pair of true wireless earbuds to use while gaming. The HyperX Cloud Mix Buds are a solid attempt. Say Hello To The HyperX Cloud Mix Buds Source: Bernard Smalls / HyperX Cloud Mix Buds We were pleasantly surprised and excited when HyperX unveiled its $149,99 Cloud Mix Buds at an HP event we attended a few weeks back.

HHW Tech Review: The Galaxy Note Lives On In Samsung’s New S22 Ultra Smartphone
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bernard Smalls (@BeanzGotGamez) / Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra Samsung took a bold step with one of its latest flagship smartphones, and it was a VERY wise decision. After months of speculation, Samsung casually “killed off” its relatively popular Galaxy Note model, making the exceptional Note20 Ultra the device’s swan song. At the same time, Samsung also decided to keep what made the Note line great and just introduce it into the S22 Ultra model, bringing together loyal Note users and with the other Galaxy smartphone users. A decision that we believe will benefit Samsung in the long run.

HHW Tech Review: Samsung Further Tightens Its Grip On The Foldable Market With The Galaxy Z Flip3 5G
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz83 Samsung is one of the few companies to have fully invested in the foldable phone market. We previously wrote that the company is ahead of the curve, and with its latest foldable smartphones, that continues to be the case. Samsung shook the smartphone world in 2019 with the introduction of the Galaxy Z Fold. It was a captivating device, but people were still on the fence about it. In 2020, we got the Galaxy Z Fold2 and the Galaxy Z Flip. Both devices sported some decent improvements but left room for plenty to be improved upon, and that’s where the Galaxy Z Fold3 and Galaxy Z Flip3 come in.

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bernard Smalls / Turtle Beach Recon Controller For Xbox Turtle Beach, a company, best known for its very reliable headsets, decided to try its hand at gaming controllers but is the company overstepping its boundaries, surprisingly not. Back in July, we first reported on the announcement of Turtle Beach’s Recon Controller for Xbox, and at the same time, we said it could potentially be a gamechanger based on the features it was boasting.

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bernard Smalls / Skullcandy Dime Earbuds A pair of good wireless earbuds for under $30? Sounds crazy, right? Well, Skullcandy definitely has managed to pull it off. The American-based audio brand announced the Dime True Wireless Earbuds back in March, describing the $25 accessory as “mini and mighty” while boasting some impressive specs you would find on pair of $50 wireless earbuds.

HHW Tech Review: Samsung’s Galaxy S21 Ultra Is The Best Smartphone On The Market…Right Now
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bernard Smalls / Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra New year, new Samsung Galaxy phone. But is the Galaxy S21 Ultra any different from the companies other offerings? Samsung left much to be desired with the Galaxy S20 Ultra, even though Samsung stuffed the phone with all kinds of features like space zoom that honestly was super gimmicky. Samsung went back to the drawing board with the Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G and delivered one of the best smartphone experiences at a significantly lower price.

HHW Tech Review: HyperX Takes The If Ain’t Broke Don’t Fix It Approach With The Cloud II Wireless Headset
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz83 HyperX’s Cloud II headset has been the company’s workhorse for 6 years and has seen minimal updates since then. So how does the latest iteration of the headset stand up to newer models from other companies? Surprisingly very well. When it comes to the Cloud II, HyperX has taken the if ain’t broke, don’t fix it approach with the headset model only dropping other various models with the Cloud handle like the Cloud Mix, Cloud Orbit S, and Cloud Alpha S. For this most recent design HyperX got a little bold and decided it was time to cut the cord. We are ecstatic the company has decided to go this route and dropped the Hyper X Cloud II Wireless.

HHW Tech Review: Samsung’s Galaxy Buds Pro Has One New Feature That Puts It In A Class By Itself
Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz83 I loved Samsung’s Galaxy Buds+ and appreciated the follow-up Galaxy Buds Live. Now the company is kicking off the new year with the even more impressive Galaxy Buds Pro. Samsung’s clear answer to Apple’s AirPods Pro has arrived and quickly has become one of the items I HAVE TO CARRY WITH ME when I hit these socially distant streets. Design & Quality Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz83 I love two things about Samsung, the company listens to its customers and constantly learns from its previous models and applies that to new designs. That continues to be the case with Galaxy Buds Pro, with Samsung deciding to take design aspects from both the Galaxy Buds+ and Galaxy Buds Live to bring the Galaxy Buds Pro to fruition.
