BlitzWolf BW-FYE5 True Wireless Headphones Review

Last year I got in touch with a company that sells primarily in Banggood and they sent me a pair of their BW-ANC1 headphones which were a wired pair of wireless headphones featuring active noise cancelling. I was very impressed with them for the most part, so when offered their true wireless BW-FYE5 (they really know how to name a product!!) I jumped at the opportunity.

Motorola G7 Review: Mid-Range Greatness

Motorola is not what it once was, king of the mobile world with devices like the Startac 3000, the Razr, the Rokr (ok, maybe not the Rokr), and the “Droid” or “Milestone “for us Canadian folk! The smartphone maker is now one of the last former phone giant to actually still be operating on their…

New Motorola One Action Is Like Having a GoPro In Your Smartphone

Anki Cozmo – New Version!!

If you have been following GadgetSyrup since the beginning, you likely know that I am a huge fan of Anki and their products. I first discovered Anki when their Cozmo robot was announced and have since reviewed every product they have released. The strides they have taken with their products and the amount fun the bring to our home are amazing. Overdrive, their AI-assisted racing game is guaranteed to to deliver hours of fun. As for Cozmo, we have two, the original and the Collector’s Edition with its Liquid Metal finish Every time Cozmo comes out, the kids go wild. I’m not going to lie, so do I!

Anki has recently announced their next big product, Vector, a more power and advanced version of Cozmo, but that doesn’t mean that Cozmo is going to scrap heap! In fact, Anki has just announced a new Cozmo edition, Cozmo LE.

Meet Anki’s Newest Family Member: Vector

Anki has announced what they have referred to as  “an older brother” to Cozmo. His name is Vector and based on my early impressions of him, he is going to be great!

Vector, unlike little brother Cozmo, has that “always-on” functionality and will be able to zip around on his own. No precious phone WiFi connections need to be sacrificed. Vector also has upgraded internals making him more powerful than before, which should also lead to improved battery life. 

BlitzWolf BW-ANC1 Active Noise Cancelling Bluetooth Headphones Review

I’ve been on the hunt for a pair of Bluetooth headphones that would work well with my business casual attire while at work. Most of the common neck bud style designs just simply didn’t work for me. Nothing I had tried worked with a collared or button up shirt.

I had more or less given up, until I was offered a chance to test out the BlitzWolf ANC1s and their unique design. Check out my review!

Moto G6 Review: The Best Mid-Range Phone You Can Buy (2018)

Before the original Moto G, mid-range phones were hardly even an afterthought for most users. The Moto G changed all that and opened the floodgates for device makers to start showing that you do not need to have flagship specs and pricing to give customers a great smartphone experience.

After years of dominating the mid-range market the last years, Moto G5 was more or less a flop, so expectations are understandably low with the release of the g6 this year.

Check out my review of the moto g6. Can Motorola return to the top of the heap in the mid-range game?

Moto Z3 (Potential) Leaks!

The Moto Z line of phones have been some of the most polarizing Motorola has ever released. The original Z, released in 2016 featured an ultra-thin design, no headphone jack, USB-C connectivity and most notable, the ability to attach “Moto Mods” which gave users the ability to attach various “modules” to the back of the smartphone such as a battery, speaker, print or projector.

Users were skeptical if this design would stick, but Motorola committed to at least three years of this design language and support for mods.

This week we have seek a significant leak that appears to show Lenovo is sticking to its word and will be announcing the Moto Z3 soon, with mod support. Check out the leaks!

LynQ: Meet The World’s Most Advanced Long-Range Tracker

We have all been there. You’re at an amusement park, a large festival or camping somewhat off-grid and you get separated from your group, spending the next several hours wandering off on your own trying to track down the other half of your group. Trying your cell phone proved worthless because you’re in a no-signal zone, or those who you are trying to track down do not have a phone with them. 

Those days could be gone if the LynQ lives up to the hype of being the “world’s most advanced long-range tracker.”
