With the open road becoming an even stranger place each day and the holiday travel season approaching, many consumers want to record their drives, whether for evidence in the event of an accident or to monitor their own driving behavior. We here at Pocket-lint love a good dashcam ourselves, but the reality is that not all of them fit into a tight budget. Additionally, if you're a first-time buyer, you might not want to jump straight into the deep end of the dashcam marketplace.

For better, for worse, or indifferent, lossless audio is a thing. Personally, I think it's for the better, but if you've read my coverage, you know there's an added expense to getting the most out of it. That's where Campfire Audio comes in. For those who don't want to carry around multiple devices, the Campfire Audio Axion features a cable with an inline microphone with button controls that terminates in a quality built-in USB-C DAC—plug-and-play lossless audio access in one tight, upgradeable package.

A lot can change in six years, especially when it comes to camera equipment. Resolutions get better, file sizes increase, editing gets made easier, and new releases year after year tend to make us numb to the progress that we've actually made. With GoPro and its flagship Max 360-degree camera line, though, progress hasn't been so swift.

Just like smart TVs, the world of smart projectors has made great strides in the last many years. There are numerous mid-range and high-end quality models that can act as both a supplement and replacement for smart TVs. LG is among those electronics forging ahead with versatile smart projectors made for the modern entertainment consumer.

Ever since I added a receiver and Apple TV 4K to my living room, I've been cursed with having too many remotes. I have my receiver's remote, my TV's remote, and my Apple TV's remote. It was a jumbled mess of things, and I often had to use a combination of all three to get to where I wanted to go. For a long time, I just put up with it, but that's all changed with the SofaBaton X2.

I always tell people who are sick of dealing with their TV interface to get a streaming stick. These are massive upgrades to your TV that make your apps run smoothly, and you don't have to be stuck with sluggish performance ever again. There are many brands to pick from, and for the most part, all of them get the job done.

A fun fact about me is that I had no intention of ever getting an Amazon Fire TV. It's not that I wasn't a fan of them, but it's that I already have an Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max, and that's plenty good enough for me. It wasn't until I was putting together a game room for my old consoles that I decided I needed a 720p TV. I picked up a Fire TV from Woot, and shortly after, the opportunity to review the 2025 Amazon Fire TV Omni QLED popped up.

I don't think anyone could have predicted the kind of viral hit the original Boox Palma would be for a certain subset of E Ink fans and smartphone haters. Boox has been releasing Android-based E Ink tablets for years at this point, but offering many of the same features in a smartphone-sized device captured the imagination in an entirely new way. It helped that it arrived in 2024 alongside a growing interest in less distracting alternatives to the smartphone, but the device was a hit all the same, which naturally led many to wonder how Boox would follow it up.

Projectors might be perfect for watching sports and movie nights, but I usually prefer my LG smart TV for daily use and gaming. That's because most projectors can't match its stellar picture quality, high contrast, and fast refresh rate. Even the brighter models I've tried that work in significant ambient lighting are either too pricey to be practical or lack certain smart TV features I take for granted. However, Dangbei's new DBOX02 Pro challenged my philosophy and blew me away with its all-around abilities and realistic price tag.

Since its launch a few years ago, the Apple Watch SE has been Apple's almost-good-enough entry-level smartwatch aimed squarely at the average iPhone user. It features a design similar to the Series line, but larger bezels and a smaller display, along with key health features like a heart rate monitor, resulting in a solid, all-around smartwatch package.
