FYI
Three of our picks have been discontinued, so we’ve added models we plan to test this spring to What to look forward to. Until then, our top pick and other good power banks are still solid.
Whether you’re a glued-to-your-screen smartphone owner who can never make it through a day on a full charge, or you just need an occasional battery boost, USB power banks are a panacea for low-battery anxiety. After putting in 21 hours of research and 55 hours of testing, we’ve found that the Zendure SuperMini 20W is the best power bank to charge a phone, tablet, or another small, handheld device. It’s an all-around great portable charger that can offer you peace of mind whenever wall outlets are out of reach.
Powerful output
We searched for power banks with enough wattage to ensure the fastest possible charging and recharging speeds.
8 ounces or less
We sought out power banks weighing 8 ounces (half a pound) or less, making them easy to carry around in a wallet, pocket, or bag.
High capacity rating
We preferred power banks rated for between 1,000 and 10,000 mAh capacity, which tells you roughly how much battery life they hold.
One-year warranty
We chose power banks with a warranty of at least one year, giving you plenty of time to use it and ensure it’s not a dud.
How we picked
Our pick
Zendure SuperMini 20W
This is the smallest and lightest 10,000 mAh power bank we’ve tested. It has USB-C PD and USB-A ports, it comes in several colors, and its rounded edges make it easy to slip into a pocket.
The Zendure SuperMini 20W is about as small and lightweight as a power bank can possibly be while still offering enough capacity to juice up most smartphones up to three times. Its USB-C Power Delivery (PD) port can charge most handheld devices (and recharge the power bank itself) at top speed with the included USB-C cable and a compatible wall charger (the one that came with your phone will work). The USB-A port can handle any older, non-USB-C devices you might have kicking around, too. The SuperMini’s rounded edges make it easy to hold and slip into a pocket, and unlike most power banks, it comes in a wide range of colors: red, green, black, silver, blue, and pink.
As the writer of this guide, I spent 21 hours researching and 55 hours testing USB power banks and portable chargers. I’ve been a science journalist for nearly a decade, covering a wide variety of topics from particle physics to satellite remote sensing. Since joining Wirecutter in 2017, I’ve reported on surge protectors, USB-C cables and adapters, portable power stations, and more.
Who this is for
Most people could use a USB power bank (also called an external battery pack, backup battery, or portable charger) to keep phones and other devices charged while on the go. The question is, which one best fits into your habits? Some might need only a small battery to give their phone a boost at the end of the day, while those who travel a lot may be looking to power multiple devices over the course of several days. Rather than always having to track down a wall outlet wherever you go, owning a USB power bank allows you to enjoy a conveniently portable (albeit limited) power supply.
Even if you’re blessed with an abundance of charging options in your daily life—maybe you spend most of your day at home, at the office, or in the car—you could probably still benefit from a portable power bank. Something wallet-sized is great to always have on hand for those unexpected (yet critical) moments when your phone is dying and no outlets are nearby. But if you want something for weekend trips or a regular commute, slightly larger power banks can still fit easily in laptop bags, purses, or large pockets, offering two or more full charges for most smartphones. These power banks are robust yet portable, allowing you to also charge devices such as wireless headphones, computer mice, keyboards, vaporizers, digital cameras, and more.
Most people could use a USB power bank. The question is, which one best fits into your habits?
When you’re traveling in an unfamiliar place—relying on your phone to guide you and to potentially call for help—a power bank offers added peace of mind. Strategically placing a few of these around the house isn’t a bad idea either: You can keep one in your foyer to grab as you’re running out the door, or one near the couch for when you’re curled up cozily under a blanket and really, really don’t want to get up to plug in your phone.

How we picked

Due to the unfortunate fact that battery technology has failed to keep up with the processing power of modern devices, USB power banks have become an increasingly popular way to help phones and tablets get through the day. With tons of brands and models to choose from, we checked out major retailers like Amazon, Home Depot, and Target—as well as trusted editorial sources such as CNET, PCMag, PCWorld, and TechRadar—to find the most well-known makers of widely available USB power banks. From there, we built out a list of contenders based on the following features:
Powerful charging and recharging: For models with USB-C output or input, we preferred those rated for at least 15 watts. That’s the minimum wattage needed for full USB-C charging and recharging speeds (though devices that support the even faster USB-C standard—USB Power Delivery, or USB PD—need at least 18 watts). Likewise, for models with USB-A output or Micro-USB input, we looked for those rated for 8 watts or more. Anything less powerful would be painfully slow.
No heavier than half a pound: Power banks should be small and lightweight, making them easy to tote around in a wallet, pocket, or bag for an entire day. We preferred to test power banks weighing 8 ounces or less, since we don’t think most people want to carry something in their pocket or purse that weighs much more than a smartphone (for reference, an iPhone 13 weighs 6.1 ounces and a Pixel 5a weighs 6.5 ounces).
Capacity rating of 1,000 to 10,000 mAh: The capacity rating listed on the power bank tells you roughly how much power it can hold. For reference, an iPhone 13 battery has a capacity of a little more than 12 watt-hours (about 3,300 milliampere hours), and a 16-inch MacBook Pro battery has a capacity of 100 watt-hours (about 28,000 mAh). Power banks with a capacity rating of more than 10,000 mAh tend to be bigger, heavier, and more expensive, so for this guide we focused primarily on lower-capacity power banks—those that store enough capacity to give your phone a boost of power or to fully charge it several times without weighing you down. Our favorite power banks for laptops with USB-C or AC charging have much higher capacity ratings than the chargers we recommend here.
At least a one-year warranty: A year is plenty of time to use your power bank and make sure it’s working properly, although longer warranties are, of course, always preferable.
Brand reputation: We favored brands that we’ve had mostly good experiences with in the past when it comes to responsive customer support, widespread availability, and capability to keep models in stock. We discounted models still undergoing a crowdfunding campaign, as well as brands lacking a visible web presence.
Price: We used a ratio of capacity (mAh) per dollar to break ties between otherwise similar models.
Built-in cables: We preferred power banks with some type of built-in cable or plug. This type of feature is indispensable when executed well, since separate charging cables (even if they’re neatly coiled up) take up more space in a bag.
This process left us with the following 23 power banks to test:
How we tested
Photo: Sarah Witman
We tested the performance of each power bank in a few key areas, including the following:
Weight: We used an Escali Primo Digital Scale to confirm the advertised weight of each power bank.
Size: Rather than measure the length, width, and depth of each power bank—which would have been tedious, and not terribly meaningful for most people—we considered size in terms of whether a power bank fit inside a wallet, a pocket (we tried a variety of pants, skirt, and jacket pockets), or an accessories pouch.
Look and feel: We took note of each power bank’s bulk and exterior texture. We considered how easy and intuitive its features—such as the power buttons, charging-status lights, built-in cables, fold-out AC plug, or flashlight—were to use.
Charging output of USB-A ports: We measured USB-A output by connecting a half-charged power bank to a PortaPow and a Drok USB load tester. We then turned up the amperage of the load tester as far as it could go without overloading the power bank and recorded the volts and amps we measured with the PortaPow to calculate the maximum output (watts).
Charging output of USB-C ports: We measured USB-C output by connecting a half-charged power bank to a Total Phase USB Power Delivery Analyzer, an Apple USB-C cable, and a MacBook Pro. We then used Total Phase’s Data Center Software, checked over the power profile and any errors, and recorded the volts and amps (to calculate the result in watts).
USB-C recharging speed: We measured USB-C input by connecting a fully drained power bank to the Total Phase USB Power Delivery Analyzer and a 60 W MacBook Pro charger. We then ran Total Phase’s Data Center Software, checked over the power profile and any errors, and recorded the volts and amps (to calculate the input in watts).
Micro-USB recharging speed: We measured Micro-USB input by connecting a fully drained power bank to a PortaPow USB Power Monitor, an Anker PowerLine Micro-USB cable, and an Anker PowerPort II wall charger plugged into a wall outlet. We then recorded the volts and amps we measured with the PortaPow to calculate the input (watts).
Nintendo Switch compatibility: Because this popular gaming console is notoriously finicky when it comes to charging, we plugged each of the power banks into a half-charged Switch to make sure they could charge it at least partially. All of our picks passed this test.
Our pick: Zendure SuperMini 20W

Our pick
Zendure SuperMini 20W
This is the smallest and lightest 10,000 mAh power bank we’ve tested. It has USB-C PD and USB-A ports, it comes in several colors, and its rounded edges make it easy to slip into a pocket.
The Zendure SuperMini 20W is the total package when it comes to charging a smartphone or other small electronic device while on the go. It’s compact and lightweight—around the size of a deck of cards and as heavy as an iPhone 13—yet its capacity rating is as high as any we’ve tested. If you want a power bank that you can easily slip into a pocket or purse as you walk out the door but that still contains enough juice to charge most smartphones up to three times, this is the one to get.
The Zendure has a port on each end: a USB-C PD port on one side that works for both output and input (meaning it’s how you recharge the power bank itself), and a standard output-only USB-A port on the other. In our tests, we measured a maximum output of 18.6 watts and a maximum input of 19.3 watts from the USB-C port, and a maximum output of 16.6 watts from the USB-A port. While those numbers fall a little short of its 20 W output rating, the SuperMini is still powerful enough to charge most devices at top speed from either port, or to charge two devices simultaneously at slightly slower speeds. With a capacity rating of 10,000 mAh, you can fully charge your phone up to three times (or make instant friends by topping off strangers’ phones, as well—the “bumming a cigarette” of the digital age).
The Zendure SuperMini 20W has a USB-C Power Delivery (PD) port for fast-charging your devices and recharging the power bank itself, as well as a standard USB-A charging port. Photo: Sarah Kobos
The exterior of the Zendure is a hard, shiny, plastic shell that’s relatively resistant to scuffs and scratches. It comes in a variety of colors (red, green, black, silver, blue, and pink) and, measuring just 3.1 by 2.2 by 1 inches, fits in the palm of your hand. It weighs 6.4 ounces—about as much as a hockey puck, which is lighter than any other 10,000 mAh power bank we tested.
The SuperMini unit is backed by Zendure’s two-year warranty—longer than that of any model we tested—which should give you plenty of time to test it out and ensure you don’t have a dud. We’ve also had good experiences with Zendure’s customer support in the more than five years we’ve been reviewing its products.
Flaws but not dealbreakers
A major drawback of the SuperMini is its lack of built-in cables. We prefer having built-in cables to charge our devices over supplying and transporting our own—they take up extra space, get tangled, and are easily misplaced. And unlike our other picks, which can recharge via built-in cables or plugs, the SuperMini needs a separate cable (one is included in the box) to recharge itself. But we think the fact that it packs so much power into a miniscule package outweighs the small burden of having to pack a separate charging cable or two. It also means the SuperMini can charge a wider variety of devices, especially older ones that don’t use the latest connectors.
We don’t love the raised ridges on the SuperMini’s main surfaces, which make it look like a tiny hardshell suitcase, but that’s a cosmetic quibble. Plus, these protuberances make the power bank easier to identify by feel among the other contents of a purse or tote. They also add some extra grippiness compared with other models we’ve tested that have completely smooth exteriors.
Other good power banks
If the Zendure SuperMini 20W is unavailable and you want the next-best-thing in terms of capacity and portability: Get either the Anker PowerCore 10000 PD Redux or the Anker PowerCore Slim 10000 PD (depending on the price and which shape and color you prefer). Both models are rated for the same capacity as the SuperMini (10,000 mAh) and they’re about as pocketable, though ever-so-slightly larger. While the SuperMini weighs 6.4 ounces, the Redux weighs 6.8 ounces and the Slim weighs 7.4 ounces. Like the SuperMini, both models have a USB-C PD port capable of charging a smartphone or other handheld device (and recharging themselves) at top speed, as well as a USB-A output port.
If you prefer an upholstered exterior over the hard, plastic finishes of our picks, and you don’t mind sacrificing some power: Get the ZMI PowerPack 10K USB-C Power Bank (QB910). Like the three aforementioned chargers, the ZMI has a 10,000 mAh capacity rating and ergonomically rounded edges. It weighs 7.4 ounces, or about as much as an iPhone 13 Pro. It fell a bit short in our maximum-output testing, managing just 16 W from its USB-C PD port, though we measured an impressive 15.6 W from its USB-A port. In terms of input, we measured 16.9 W over USB-C PD and a measly 4 W over Micro-USB. The ZMI comes with a USB-C charging cable and a cloth bag (the SuperMini, Redux, and Slim do, too), and adds a handy two-in one cable (a Micro-USB cable with a USB-C adapter attached to the end by a short tether). Compared to most other fabric-covered gadgets we’ve tested, this one uses a more stylish and sophisticated-looking textile—a soft, tightly woven, marled-gray twill. It’s fairly durable, though not impervious to stains.
If you want a power bank that doubles as a wall charger: Get the Anker PowerCore Fusion 10000. It has an easily pocketable shape, a handy fold-up plug, and convenient battery-status lights that tell you when it needs to be recharged. Like our top pick, this one has a rated capacity of 10,000 mAh, which is enough for about three full phone charges. Plus, it has a pleasantly grippy and comfy-to-hold matte finish, and comes in three colors (black, white, and red). We didn’t make this an official pick because it’s significantly bigger and heavier than our top pick, weighing a whopping 9. 6 ounces. But if you want more capacity and can live with the extra bulk, this is your best bet.
What to look forward to
We’re planning a new round of testing for spring 2023, pitting our top pick against the following models:
Sustainability and power banks
Power banks are made primarily of plastic, metal, and other nonrenewable materials that take decades to decompose. As such, one of the most sustainable things you can do with a power bank is to avoid replacing it for as long as possible. Handle your power bank with care to prevent scratches, scuffs, and dents, and store it in a protective pouch or cable organizer when it’s in your bag. Since extreme temperatures can permanently damage batteries, you should also try to store your power bank in a cool, dry place (preferably at about a 40% charge).
If your power bank does break, iFixIt and Instructables have handy guides to mending most types of electronics. But if it’s damaged beyond repair or no longer holds a charge, you should recycle it. Most Americans recycle plastic, metal, paper, and cardboard on a regular basis, but less than half (subscription required) recycle their used batteries and other electronic waste (also called e-waste). Unrecycled e-waste usually ends up in a landfill, where it can leach heavy metals and other harmful chemicals into local soil and water systems. It also contributes to more raw materials being mined to make new electronics, rather than salvaging usable components from old ones.
Here are some good options for recycling power banks and other e-waste:
Find e-waste recycling facilities in your area using searchable databases like Call2Recycle, Earth911, GreenCitizen, or Greener Gadgets. Most municipalities don’t offer curbside pickup for battery recycling, but many have designated dropoff sites. Before dropping off batteries at a recycling facility, make sure it accepts lithium-ion batteries (the type found in most power banks and many other household electronics), since they may require different safety precautions than other battery types.
Keep an eye out for local e-waste recycling drives—or try organizing one yourself!
Mail in a prepaid shipping container from TerraCycle, Call2Recycle, or another recycle-by-mail service.
The competition
The Anker PowerCore Fusion 5000 is our former pick for people who want a power bank that doubles as a wall charger. It has a rated capacity of 5,000 mAh, a handy fold-up plug, and a pocketable size and shape. However, its ports (two USB-A output ports and a Micro-USB input port) are much less powerful than those on our top pick.
The Flux 4000 mAh Ultraslim Portable Charger is lightweight (3. 1 ounces) and small enough to fit in a pants pocket. It has a Micro-USB input port, a USB-A output port, and built-in USB-C and Lightning cables, and comes in a variety of colors. However, the cables are nearly impossible to get back into their slots after charging and the materials seem flimsy overall.
The intelliArmor Scout Max is a jack of all trades, master of none. It has a built-in AC plug and Micro-USB port to charge itself, and its built-in Lightning, Micro-USB, and USB-C cables can charge pretty much any handheld device. But unsheathing the cables and plug is trickier than we’d like, and its 10,000 mAh capacity is no better than that of several of our picks. Plus, we couldn’t find any warranty information on the company’s site and can’t vouch for its customer support.
Although the Mophie Powerstation Hub has a bit more capacity (6,000 mAh) than the discontinued Fusion III model we used to recommend, and it adds Qi wireless charging, we don’t think those features justify the usual $100 price tag. Plus, it has a more angular shape that’s not as comfortable to hold or as easy to slip into a pocket.
The Mophie Powerstation PD is super lightweight, weighing just 5.2 ounces, and has a pleasantly pocketable shape and grippy texture. However, it offers significantly less capacity (6,700 mAh) than our SuperMini pick, which is just a few ounces heavier.
The RAVPower 10000mAh Power Bank (RP-PB186) is nearly identical to the Anker Redux, except for the rough ridges at each of its seams that make it less comfortable to hold. But if you can get it for significantly less money than the Anker model, it would be a great alternative.
The TG90° Portable Charger 6000mAh External Battery Pack is one of the smallest and lightest power banks we’ve tested, weighing just 4.1 ounces, and its capacity rating (6,000 mAh) is higher than those of power banks we’ve tested that are twice its size. As a major added convenience, it has two built-in cables (USB-C and Lightning) that slide in and out of their holsters easily, as well as a USB-C input port. It’s also relatively sturdy and well built. Despite these attributes, however, we don’t feel comfortable recommending this model without long-term testing; aside from its Amazon storefront, the company has no web presence.
The Tronsmart Trim 10000mAh USB-C Power Bank has the same capacity rating (10,000 mAh) as our SuperMini pick, plus it adds a Micro-USB input port. However, we don’t think an extra (and slower-charging) input option offers a significant benefit for most people, and we prefer the look and feel of our picks.

What Size Battery Do You Need?
On the pocket-friendly front, most smaller batteries have a capacity of around 5,000mAh, which is typically enough to top up most phones once.
Meanwhile, a 10,000mAh battery can give today’s flagships two full charges. A 20,000mAh battery can charge a flagship four times, or two phones two times. Some power banks have enough juice to power laptops. Of course, a higher capacity often translates to a heavier, larger, and more expensive battery.
Most companies advertise how many times their products can recharge popular phones, but if you want to calculate that number for yourself, RAVPower has a useful guide(Opens in a new window) that can give you an estimate.
In the end, it’s best to assess your typical needs before buying. If your phone hits the red zone by mid-afternoon and you only need enough juice to get you to the end of the workday, a 5,000mAh battery should be plenty.
What’s the Difference Between Power Input and Output?
You’ll find three types of ports on today’s portable batteries:
Generally speaking, you charge the battery itself via micro USB or USB-C (input). Some batteries charge faster than others and USB-C charges much faster than micro USB.
Nearly all batteries include a standard USB-A port (output). This is for plugging in USB-A-to-micro-USB, USB-A-to-Lightning, or USB-A-to-USB-C cables for charging your iPhone or Android device.
Some batteries include built-in output cables and these generally have micro USB, USB-C, or Lightning connectors.
The most important thing to do is to match the battery’s output to your phone’s input. For example, if you have an iPhone, be sure the battery has its own Lightning connector or supports USB-A-to-Lightning or USB-C-to-Lightning cables.
Larger batteries with higher capacities might include a multitude of ports to support input and multiple outputs at the same time. You may see two USB-A and two USB-C ports, for example, though micro USB ports are becoming less common.
If you picked up an iPhone 13 or iPhone 14 and were surprised by the lack of an included wall charger, see our article on charging your iPhone.
What Is Fast Charging?
Another factor to consider is how quickly a power bank can charge your device. Battery output is measured in voltage and amperage. Amperage (or current) is the amount of electricity that flows from the battery to the connected device, while voltage is the amount of potential energy. Multiplying volts by amps gives you wattage, the measure of total power. To make devices charge faster, most manufacturers either vary the voltage or boost the amperage.
Today’s devices support a wide range of rapid-charging technology, such as Qualcomm QuickCharge, USB Power Delivery, or proprietary fast-charge systems.
Quick Charge works by increasing voltage rather than amperage. This standard typically allows you to charge supported phones to 50 percent capacity in 30 minutes, which is especially helpful when you need power in a pinch.
Power Delivery is a newer protocol in which two compatible devices negotiate on the fastest charging option available based on the charger, cable, and circuitry. It also allows for power to flow both ways.
The most common devices (Apple iPhones and Samsung Galaxies) support charging rates of 27W and 45W, respectively. It’s best to look for batteries that can support charging in that range.
Is Pass-Through Charging Safe and Useful?
Pass-through charging is another feature to consider; with it, you can charge devices and the portable power bank simultaneously. That’s convenient if both your phone and backup battery are running on empty. You shouldn’t encounter any safety issues if the manufacturer of the portable battery you buy advertises pass-through charging as a feature, but the power output might change in this mode.
How Does Wireless Charging Work?
Wireless charging has become popular because it allows you to power up compatible devices without a cable. Qi is the dominant standard for compatible Android phones (up to 18W) while Apple iPhones rely on MagSafe charging (up to 15W). iPhones will charge wirelessly on Qi chargers, but only at 7.5W.
Some battery makers have built Qi or MagSafe-compatible wireless charging into the surfaces of their portable batteries. Such batteries mean you can leave the cables at home.
Should You Buy a Battery Case Instead of a Power Bank?
If you find that you often forget to carry your backup battery when you need it most, you should consider a dedicated battery case instead. These combine the portability and protection of a case with additional battery capacity to keep your phone topped off at all times.
There are several drawbacks. First, they have limited additional capacity on board. Second, they are limited in terms of the number of phones they support (mostly just iPhones, Galaxies, and Pixels). Third, you can’t charge much else with them.

Does your computer suffer from random crashes, freezes or otherwise strange behaviour and error messages? It is entirely possible that all of these problems could be the result of the power supply in your computer acting up.
Testing power supplies, especially in the majority of computers these days, can be quite a fiddly affair as they will remain in standby mode until they receive a signal from the motherboard to power up. This makes testing such a power supply for faults difficult as how can you power up the power supply to measure voltages without having it connected to the motherboard? One way would be to short the /PS_ON (power supply on, active low) pin to one of the ground pins on the main power supply connector causing it to power up. Another and much easier way is to use something like Antec’s ATX12V power supply tester.
I purchased this tester off of eBay for around £12 so it is a relatively inexpensive piece of kit. In the package you get the tester itself and a user manual which comes on a sheet of A4 paper in various languages.
The tester’s casing itself is quite stylish and I like the fact that it has hand grips which makes connecting and disconnecting quite comfortable.
There are individual LEDs for the +5V, +12V, +3.3V, -12V and 5VSB (5V standby) power rails and also LEDs marked GOOD and FAULT which give an indication of the power supply’s overall health. By following the LED indicators you can easily determine whether or not your computer’s power supply is faulty.
If a power rail is okay the relevant LED will show as green. If the voltage of a particular power rail is too low the LED will show as orange or if it is too high then it will show as red.
The tester will work with both 20-pin and 24-pin ATX power supply connectors. The top of the unit is marked where the edge of a 20-pin connector should go.
For those that want to measure the voltages from the power supply they can do so by using the test points as shown in the photo below. The group of three test points are for the +5V, +12V and +3.3V power rails and the group of two are for ground.
Interestingly in the photograph below the tester indicated that there was a fault on this particular power supply as the FAULT LED was lit. The power rail LEDs are all lit up as green indicating at least that these were all okay (although in the photograph they appear to be yellow).
In the photograph below a multimeter is connected to the +3.3V power rail using the tester’s test points measuring a rather acceptable 3.284V.
When trying out the tester on a second power supply it indicated that everything was fine with this one.
I could not find any information on what the tester classes as being too low or too high a voltage for the power rails. This is not a problem by any means and does not affect usage of the tester, but I personally like to know how tight the tolerances are in these things.
I would suggest that the tester is not left attached to a power supply for an extended period of time as I could start to feel the tester getting very warm to the touch after about five minutes use.
One thing that this tester will not do is test the power supply under load. If your power supply has problems providing sufficient power then this will not be picked up. To be fair this kind of testing is not what this tester is intended for and to test properly would require a much more complicated setup.
There are other power supply testers available which have additional connectors for testing the power leads for hard drives, floppy disk drives, etc. although I’ve never had a problem testing these types of connections since they are usually pretty accessible using a standard voltmeter. I guess it would really be down to personal preference whether or not you would want these features.
I think that Antec have produced a nice little tester for testing ATX power supplies and should be in the toolbox of anyone who builds or tinkers with computers.

Power supply failures are among the most common problems among all retro computer systems. Our power supply tester series for Commodore C64, C128, Amiga 500/500+/600/1200, Atari XL/XE, Atari 520ST/260ST, and ZX Spectrum +2A/+2B/+3 was created specifically to address this issue. Diagnosing a PSU failure can prevent expensive repairs or even save your hardware from a total damage. The power supply tester runs an automatic yet thorough test, measuring currents, voltages, and even voltage ripple.
How it works
The C64 PSU tester measures the primary +5V DC output voltage and ripple at a constant current of roughly 400mA…500mA. Secondary voltages (9V AC or +/-12V DC depending on the model) are measured at a lower current, typically 50…150mA. Measurement results are updated on a digital OLED display in real-time, allowing a live evaluation of the power quality.
Long-term testing
The power supply tester has an aluminum heat-sink allowing to dissipate excessive power and perform long-term testing. It’s designed to work both as a quick diagnostic tool, and for long-term stability tests.
Perfect match
Our power supply testers are a perfect match for our retro C64, C128, Amiga, Atari and ZX Spectrum power supply series. Our C64 PSU and Amiga PSU design are well established architectures, produced and sold in hundreds of units monthly. Both series are designed to be mutually complementary.

Adjustable Load ATX Power Supply Tester
When repairing or testing ATX computer power supplies it is often necessary to evaluate their load characteristics such as output voltage tolerances, ripple and of course maximum output power. Without special equipment, in the form of a load dummy, an oscilloscope and some other devices, it is extremely difficult to test compliance with the standard for the characteristics indicated by the manufacturer on the power supply label. Some create special stands, others use a set of car lamps, others use powerful wirewound resistors as a load equivalent. Its resistance is unchanged for most testers and is not selected specifically for each unit under test, therefore the functionality of such devices is limited. I wanted to make a simple but versatile device that allows you to semi-automatically set the required load on the + 5V, + 12V, + 3.3V buses, while simultaneously measuring the corresponding output voltages and controlling their acceptable level of deviations.
Thus, a device was developed and manufactured, consisting of a stepped load block, a control module for switching on these loads and a computer power supply voltage tester board (POWER SUPPLY TESTER), from which connectors and load resistors were soldered.
The load block for each channel of output voltages 3.3V, 5V and 12V consists of seven 10-watt cement resistors of the same resistance, one of which is permanently on, and the remaining six are connected via MOSFET transistors acting as electronic switches . Their alternate opening and closing is controlled by the LM39 chip.14, which is used in LED indicators with a linear scale. It is enabled in column mode. By adjusting the variable resistor, there is a step change in the level at the outputs of the microcircuit, and hence the sequential opening or closing of the MOSFETs, which is controlled by the lit LEDs. The LM3914 switching circuit is designed so that it can be adjusted from a minimum (at which none of the LEDs are lit and all MOSFETs are closed, but one constant resistor is on), to a maximum (at which all six LEDs light up, MOSFETs are open and all seven load resistors become connected in parallel). For separate adjustment for each channel, three such modules were used on the LM3914. Low-current lines -5V, -12V and +5V SB on duty are loaded with constant low-power resistances.
After connecting the ATX power supply to the device connectors and turning it on, the purple LED for monitoring the standby voltage + 5V_SB should light up. Since the LM3914 microcircuits are also powered by this voltage, the required load for each channel can be set both before starting the PSU and during operation, guided by the LED indicators.
The tested power supply is started by briefly pressing the S1 button until the “Power Good” signal appears in the circuit and the VT1 transistor opens, which bypasses the button, which will be signaled by the green LED “PG” lighting up. The delay time for the appearance of the “PG” signal will be displayed on the display of the output voltage indicator. After that, the cooler should start working and all LEDs for the presence of output voltages will light up. Switching off is carried out by pressing the SB2 button. Its contacts will shunt the emitter junction of the transistor VT1, and it will close, opening the circuit for turning on the block.
Which indicator level to set for each channel is determined based on the calculations below. Knowing the total resistance of the resistors when connected in parallel to each bus, you can calculate what current will flow through the load and what the output power will be for each channel of output voltages 3.3V, 5V and 12V.
In this way, it is possible to test with various load options, and it is desirable that their total total power does not exceed 100 percent of the maximum output power of the PSU. Exceeding the limits, in the best case, can lead to the operation of the overcurrent protection, and in the worst case, to the failure of the tested power supply. It is always necessary to pay attention to the permissible combination of loads on each line in order to prevent voltage distortion that occurs due to their uneven distribution over the tires.
By increasing the load current, the decrease in output voltage values is controlled, the maximum allowable deviations of which should not exceed 5% of the nominal value.
To connect the tested power supply to the tester, an external board was made, on which a 24-pin connector for powering the motherboard, a 4-pin power connector for the processor, a 6-pin connector for additional power supply of the video card, SATA and Molex were soldered – for connecting hard drives and optical drives.
The tester is made in a standard ATX power supply case. In the lower part of the case, a load board with keys is installed on the seats. A 130x110x45 radiator is installed on the load resistors through thermal paste over the entire area, which is attached to the board and is blown by a native cooler. A board with control chips and LEDs for indicating the inclusion of loads and the status of all lines (+5V_Standy (standby), PowerGood, +3.3V, +5V, +12V, -12V, -5V (for old PSUs)), as well as tact buttons and switches are located in the upper part of the case, which is specially selected for convenience with the holes already available for them. It was only necessary to cut out a place under the screen of the voltage tester. The color of the indicator LEDs, as well as the LEDs for the presence of voltage on the lines, is selected in accordance with the standard colors of the power supply wires.
Printed circuit boards made in Sprint-Layout 6.0.
Any n-channel MOSFET transistors in the TO252 package, taken from motherboards, are suitable as keys.
It is also necessary not to forget to bring out the wires for connecting the output voltage indication board to the corresponding terminals from where the connectors were soldered.
Does a quality brand name power supply with 80 Plus certification or an inexpensive low weight budget power supply produce its pure 500 watts? This device can be successfully tested.

Power Supply Tester
Hello.
My first small review will be devoted to a voltage tester for computer power supplies. For some, this thing will turn out to be suitable, as it allows you to test a decent amount of PSU in a short time, for someone it will be a toy, since there is a voltmeter, and all sorts of HWiNFO64, the truth cannot be found here. I decided to play around and ordered it for myself.
Let’s start with the packaging of . The tester came wrapped in some kind of foam material (I forgot the name), and a film was pasted on the screen, so the harsh everyday life of the Russian Post is unlikely to do anything with it.
Packaging
Assembly can be summed up in two words – won’t fall apart. The halves of the body are fused to each other (therefore, there will be no disassembly), there are Kotskas and bumps. On the connectors, you can only find fault with both Molexes, they sit crookedly, but this does not interfere with use. Otherwise, everything is fine, the legs are not bent, the quality is normal.
For general development – PSU connectors with wiki:
Power cable plugs (from the power supply), without adapters and adapters
1) AMP 171822-4 mini sizes for 5 and 12 volt power supply to a peripheral device (usually a disk drive)
2) Regular size Molex (molex 8981)
3) MOLEX 88751 5-pin connectors for powering a SATA device: MOLEX 675820000 enclosure or equivalent with Molex 675810000 pins or equivalent[3]
4) “PCIe8connector” for video card power, split into “PCIe6connector” (for video card power)
5) “PCIe6connector” to power the video card
6) “EPS12V” (Eng. Entry-Level Power Supply Specification for powering the processor
7) “ATX PS 12V” (“P4 power connector”) to power the processor
8) “ATX12V” main board power supply: MOLEX 39-01-2040 or equivalent with Molex 44476-1112 (HCS) pins or equivalent
Portable displays that you pair with a laptop aren’t a new phenomenon, but in the past couple of years, they have come into their own. Many of the major monitor manufacturers have at least one in their repertoire, and new models are appearing more regularly than ever. Whether you want to add a second screen for giving presentations to small groups, view two programs open full-screen at once, enhance your portable gaming system, or touch up your designs with a stylus, mobile monitors of different sizes, styles, and paradigms are ready to serve.
Why all of these panels, all of a sudden? The widespread adoption of USB Type-C connectivity—with its ability to transfer power, data, and video over a single cable—has been a godsend for the growth of portable displays. They no longer need a dedicated AC adapter for juice (though some do come with one as an option), and many have just a single USB-C port that handles all the connectivity, though some add HDMI or other connectors.
Interested in shopping for one? Read on for a breakdown of our current top, tested portable monitors suited for a variety of user categories, followed by a guide to what to look for to land the right one for you.

Buying Guide: The Best Portable Monitors for 2023
Many smaller desktop displays can be taken on the road in a pinch, but “true” portable monitors are those specifically sold as such. Even those range quite a bit in size: from 3.5 inches to 22 inches. Portable displays run the gamut from personal, business, and general-purpose models to panels for artists and gamers.
The sweet spot for use with a laptop, though, and our focus here, is between 12 and 17 inches. Many users match their portable display with the screen size of their laptop. But also on the market is a handful of models at 10 inches (mostly for use with gaming consoles) and at 7 inches (for use with the Raspberry Pi).

Most portable displays use a stand consisting of a thin but stiff plastic board, with several grooves or creases on which it folds. At one end is a magnetic strip, which adheres to the back of the monitor at its top. Folding the sheet in the middle, with the angle pointing away from the user, props up the monitor. The bottom of the monitor inserts into a groove, securing it and tilting the device upward. (Some portable displays have several grooves, and you can alter the monitor’s tilt angle by placing the base in a different one. )

These foldable stands often double as protective covers for the display when it’s not in use. Some protect just the front of the monitor, while others are larger, wraparound covers that sandwich the entire monitor.
Another stand design that we have seen consists of a rigid, flat base, containing the ports, to which the screen is attached via hinges. You can set the screen at any angle you like simply by tilting it. This kind is much less common, though. Also, a few designs use the laptop itself as the support, fastening to its back or its side and sliding or swinging out for use.

Although mobile monitors lack the height, pivot, or swivel adjustability of their desktop counterparts, they are small and light enough that they are easy to adjust manually. Some monitors can be pivoted by hand, though not all stands can support a monitor when it is in portrait mode. In those cases, you could always prop up the monitor against a wall or other surface. Most portable monitors can automatically correct the image so it is always right side up, whether you’re in landscape or portrait mode. (Even in those that lack such automatic image rotation, you can change the orientation in Windows display settings.)
The Best Portable Monitor for a Laptop: How to Evaluate the Screen
When we’re looking at the panels for mobile monitors, the main factors we evaluate are the screen size, the native resolution, the brightness range, the technology the panel uses, and the maker’s claims for color-gamut coverage.
Many users prefer to use a mobile monitor that has the same screen size and native resolution as the laptop screen they are using it with. That said, I have found these panels to be forgiving and have had no trouble running portable displays that are slightly larger than my laptop’s own screen. As long as you don’t mismatch the mobile monitor’s and laptop’s screen aspect ratio (which, almost always, is a normal 16:9 widescreen ratio), you are unlikely to experience much trouble in matching them up.
The native resolution on panels suitable for use with a laptop ranges from 1,366 by 768 pixels up to 3,200 by 1,800 pixels (QHD+). Most of the recent laptop-appropriate screens sport a native resolution of 1,920 by 1,080 pixels (aka 1080p, or “full HD”), but a few go higher.

Mobile monitors tend to be dimmer, at their maximum brightness levels, than their desktop counterparts. What is commonly called brightness is actually luminance, or brightness per unit area. Portable monitors tend to cluster around 180 nits (also expressed as “candelas per meter squared”) in our testing, even though many are rated at between 230 and 300 nits, which is fine for typical use. The highest we have measured at this writing is 280 nits.
Monitors that make use of in-plane switching (IPS) technology are generally preferred for general use over vertical-alignment (VA) and twisted-nematic (TN) panels due to their wider off-axis viewing angles and good color accuracy. Many recent mobile monitors are IPS, but there’s a catch. When we test a panel for its color gamut, we first test the sRGB color space, which is the default color space for the web and many other applications. This color space comprises essentially all the colors that can be made by mixing red, green, and blue. Most desktop monitors cover at least 95% of sRGB, and we have seen portable monitors attain similar coverage. However, since late 2017, a spate of mobile IPS monitors have shown much more limited overall color coverage (60% to 72% of sRGB) and very similar color profiles—indicating poor red and purple coverage and slightly enhanced blue-greens. Because of their nearly identical “color signatures,” we assume that these screens come from the same or similar sources, although they are on monitors made by a variety of manufacturers.

These measured results have been borne out in our experiential testing, where in photos and videos red and purple areas tended to look dull and washed out. Although screens with this issue are fine for most business and productivity use, they are subpar choices for videophiles or photo enthusiasts. In our monitor reviews, we include a chromaticity chart that maps our readings against the ideal readings for the color space being tested, and provide an analysis of the panel’s color coverage.
The Ports: How Are Portable Monitors Powered and Connected?
As I alluded to earlier, the mobile-monitor world is undergoing a convergence of power and connectivity thanks to USB Type-C connectivity. Many USB-C ports support both DisplayPort over USB and USB power delivery, letting both data/video and power flow through the port from a computer over a single USB cable. Most new mobile monitors have at least one USB-C port, and some connect solely via USB-C. While this simplicity has its appeal, be sure that your laptop’s USB-C port supports data, video, and power transfer, because some early-generation USB-C ports don’t. (Thunderbolt ports should also work fine; their functionality encompasses all of that of USB-C. )
(Credit: Zlata Ivleva)
A few mobile monitors use traditional power adapters. This is particularly true of models that work with sketch pens and intended for artists, which are in effect interactive monitors. In a common configuration, the display draws power through an adapter, while two cables connect to the computer. One is HDMI, to handle transfer of the image displayed on the device, and the other is USB (through a USB-A port), to record the pen motions the user makes when drawing on the interactive display. HDMI (usually in the form of mini-HDMI) is also a common port (the most common other than USB-C) on more conventional portable displays.
(Credit: Molly Flores)
A few older portable-display models draw their power from a laptop over a separate USB 3.0 connection, but USB-C is well on its way to making this kind of connection passé.
Software, the Onscreen Display, and Audio
Nearly all portable displays are plug-and-play and require no software to operate. Any utilities offered, usually supplied on disc and/or through download, will be for specific functions, such as the ability to enable the screen image to remain upright when you switch between landscape and portrait orientation. Sometimes, the display may come with a utility that lets you change monitor settings from your computer screen rather than through the secondary panel’s onscreen display (OSD) controls.
The OSD is the monitor’s menu system, governing user-controllable settings such as brightness, contrast, color levels, picture mode, and aspect ratio. It is often arranged in several submenus. Although a few models include several buttons to use in navigating the OSD, a single button or switch to control it is more common.
In general, audio is not a consideration with mobile monitors, as these devices tend to lack built-in speakers or audio jacks. The few portable displays (often gaming models) that do include speakers, in our experience, have weak onesand are most useful when paired with a portable gaming console or a smartphone. When the monitor is connected to a laptop, you can always switch from the display’s speakers to your laptop’s speakers by clicking (in Windows) the speaker icon in the taskbar and changing to your laptop’s audio.
So, What Is the Best Portable Monitor to Buy?
Whatever your needs or budget, there’s a model out there that’s right for you; the key thing is to consider the primary display panel that you’ll be using alongside it. Below, check out the current best portable displays we’ve tested. We update this story regularly, but for the very latest monitor reviews we’ve posted, also see our monitor product guide.
How to Close Your Laptop and Use an External Monitor

Laptops overtook desktops in sales long ago, meaning millions of people use portable PCs daily for entertainment, work and school activities. While all laptops have built-in displays that are used for interacting with and creating content, sometimes we need more screen real estate than the 12 to 17 inches that are provided by default.
With all modern laptops, attaching an external display – either via HDMI or USB-C/DisplayPort – is an easy way to boost productivity, allowing you to use some of the best gaming monitors or the best computer monitors. Many people would prefer to plug in an external monitor (or plug into an external docking station with a monitor attached) and close the laptop lid. Having the lid closed allows you to have all of your monitors at the same height and take advantage of vertical docking stations. It also generally leaves more available space on a desk.
However, by default, closing the lid on a laptop will put it in standby mode or force it to hibernate. Obviously, that is a non-starter for anyone trying to get work done in Windows 10 or 11, so here’s a quick and easy way to keep your computer active when closing the lid.
1. Search “Change what closing” in the Windows search bar then click the top result: “Change what closing the lid does.”
(Image credit: Tom’s Hardware)
2. A System Settings menu opens which allows you to control what happens “When I close the lid.” There are options to select what takes place when the laptop is running on battery power or when it’s plugged into the wall.
(Image credit: Tom’s Hardware)
3. Select “Do Nothing” from the drop-down menu next to “When I close the lid” when plugged in. If you wish, you can also apply this setting when the laptop is running on battery power, but we do not recommend it if you are using an external monitor or are docked due to increased power usage. However, you are free to do so if you desire.
(Image credit: Tom’s Hardware)
Now when you close your lid when plugged in, the laptop will remain on unless you tell it otherwise.

How to connect two monitors to a laptop
We all know that multiple monitors connected to a PC or laptop can greatly increase productivity and bring great benefits, especially when working with a laptop. But how do you connect external monitors to a laptop? You have come to the address. This article provides an easy to understand guide on how to connect two external monitors to your laptop.
1. What you need to check before you start.
2. How to set up a dual monitor connection.
3. Bonus tip: what to do if you can’t see connected monitors.
Note: instruction will be useful if you want to add multiple monitors to both laptop and PC.
Things to check before you start
Most Windows laptops today support at least two monitors. But you need to make sure that two external monitors can be connected to your laptop. It depends on your Windows OS, graphics card power and drivers.
All Windows XP/7/8/10 systems support multi-monitor connection, so you just need to check the graphics card and ports on your laptop.
1. Check the video card
The first thing to check is if your graphics card supports multiple monitors. Usually any video card has at least two outputs, but it is better to check the properties of the video card on the manufacturer’s website.
For example, if you have an NVIDIA GeForce graphics card, you can go to the official website, select your graphics card, check the data sheet, where you will see that it supports multiple monitors.
If your graphics card does not support multiple monitors, you may need to purchase and install a suitable graphics card (e.g. GeForce RTX 2080) before continuing with the process.
2. Check the ports on the laptop.
Next, you need to check the ports on your laptop. Typically, a computer or laptop has any of these four ports:
Display Port provides an interface with additional protection for high-definition audio content.
Digital Video Interface (DVI) can usually be identified by its white plastic and markings.
Video Graphics Array (VGA) The can be identified by the blue plastic and markings.
High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) allows you to connect all kinds of video devices and transmit audio via cable.
You can check the ports on the back or side of your laptop. In addition to the ports on your laptop, monitor cables should also have appropriate ports. This will save you time and money on their connection. Otherwise, you will need to buy an additional adapter, such as a DVI to HDMI adapter, to get the ports to match.
If there are no suitable ports on the laptop and monitor
If the monitor cable does not fit into the laptop ports, do not despair. There is an exit! You can try one of the methods below:
Use an adapter such as HDMI to DVI. This will help if you have two different ports on your monitor and laptop.
Use a splitter such as a Display splitter to get two HDMI ports. This will help if you only have one HDMI port on your laptop but need two HDMI ports.
Use the docking station, which will help in different circumstances.
How to set up a dual monitor connection
When everything is ready, you can start connecting two monitors to your laptop.
Note: Connect monitors while the laptop is on. In most cases, Windows will detect the connection of a new monitor.
For example, my laptop has VGA and HDMI ports, as do my external monitor cables:
1) Connect the cable of the first external monitor to a suitable video port on the laptop. Hence, I connect the VGA cable from the first external monitor to the VGA port on my laptop.
2) We connect the cable of the second external monitor to another suitable port on the laptop. Hence, I connect the second external monitor’s HDMI cable to the HDMI port on my laptop.
3) Right click on empty space on the laptop screen , and if you have Windows 10, select “ Screen settings ”
if Windows 7/8, select “ Screen resolution “.
4) You will see three screens numbered 1,2 and 3 in view mode. Typically, screen 1 is the laptop monitor and screens 2 and 3 are external monitors .
5) Click on screen 2 and select ” Extend desktop to this screen ” to “ Multiple displays ” and click “ Apply “.
6) Click on screen 3 and select “ Extend desktop to this screen ” in “ Multiple displays ” and click “ Apply “.
7) Press OK to save the settings. Now you can use your laptop with three monitors.
Tips: You can click and drag each display (1, 2 or 3) to change the display order. You can also change the element size, screen resolution, and orientation to suit your preferences.
How to connect a second monitor to the computer

How to connect a second monitor to a laptop or desktop computer
Find out which cable your monitor has. To do this, check its connector, which is inserted into the computer. Most likely it’s HDMI or VGA. The connector will certainly be signed. If not, check the cable type on the monitor manufacturer’s website or in the official documentation.
You can also try to identify the connector visually using these schematics.
Connector types. Image: Apple support / Lifehacker
Now figure out which cable connectors are on the computer. This again can be done using signatures on the case, if any, as well as using the manufacturer’s website or documents for the PC. HDMI and VGA connectors are present on most devices.
If there is a suitable connector, simply plug the monitor cable into it. Otherwise, you will need an adapter. For example, if your computer only has a USB‑C port for video (typically a MacBook) and your monitor is connected via HDMI, you will need a USB‑C to HDMI adapter.
An example of a USB-C / HDMI adapter from QGeeM. Image: Amazon
If your current cable is not compatible with your computer, but your monitor has an additional connector of the same type as your PC, don’t rush to get an adapter. Instead, you can buy another cable, for which there are connectors on both the monitor and the computer. Most likely, this option will be cheaper than the adapter.
When a laptop has several connectors, it is advisable to choose the one that supports the best resolution and frame rate. For example, most MacBooks via HDMI do not display a picture in 4K or do it only at 30 Hz, but at the same time they quietly show 4K 60 Hz when connected via DisplayPort. You can find all the necessary details in the documentation for the laptop.
How to set up two monitors
Normally, the computer will automatically recognize the second monitor after connecting. You just have to go to the OS settings and select a convenient mode of operation with multiple screens. If the new device does not appear in the settings menu, make sure that you have correctly connected it to the computer and the mains, and do not forget the power button.
If your monitor has more than one port for receiving video data, you may need to manually activate the one through which you connected the computer. To do this, use the hardware buttons to call the screen menu and select the desired port in it: HDMI, VGA or another.
Monitors usually have 1-2 buttons, so you should be able to find the right one without any problems. If necessary, you can look at the instructions for your model.
How to set up dual monitors in Windows
Open Display Options. In Windows 10, this menu is located under Settings → System → Display. In other versions of Windows, the location of the settings may differ. But in almost any system, they can also be opened through the control panel or context menu by right-clicking on the desktop. Or through a Windows search for “Screen”, “Display” or “Monitor”.
All displays connected to the computer appear in the settings menu as rectangles. If you don’t see them, click “Detect”. When the rectangles appear, select one of the three desktop display modes below them.
1. Screen mirroring
In this mode, both monitors simultaneously display the same image. But if one of them does not support the resolution of the second, then on a display with a higher resolution, the desktop will be reduced and black fields will appear.
Duplicate screens are useful if you use them for presentations, for example: one display for you and one for the audience.
2. Extended desktop
Selecting an extended desktop will split it between displays. Each of them will only show a fragment of the available area. You can choose which part of the desktop a particular display will show. To do this, you need to move the screen rectangles relative to each other.
This mode is used to improve multitasking. So, you can run different programs on each display and see them in front of you at the same time. It is very convenient if you need to work with several windows at once that do not fit on one screen.
3. Using one of the connected displays
This mode leaves only the selected screen active, the second continues to work, but with the backlight turned off. This option is often used by laptop owners to work behind a large external display instead of the built-in one. The external one is left active, and the darkened built-in one is slightly lowered along with the lid so that it does not interfere with looking at the large monitor.
The combination Win + P allows you to switch between display modes on the fly.
By selecting the appropriate mode, you can adjust the resolution of active displays and other familiar settings. After that, everything will be ready to go.
How to set up dual monitors in macOS
Expand the Apple menu, go to System Preferences → Displays, and click the Layout tab. You will see blue rectangles that represent screens connected to the computer. Select one of two desktop display modes from this menu.
1. Extended desktop
This mode works in macOS in much the same way as it does in Windows. The desktop is divided between two screens, and you can freely distribute open windows between them. When the cursor moves beyond the boundaries of one display, it appears on the other. To customize which part of the desktop a particular screen displays, simply rearrange the rectangles relative to each other.
One of the displays in this mode is the main one and contains the menu bar. Its rectangle displays a white stripe. To make another screen the main screen, drag the bar over its rectangle.
The dock is always shown on the display below. To make the panel appear on another screen, you need to move the cursor to its bottom border. If this does not suit you, you can turn off the “Monitors with separate workspaces Spaces” option in the Mission Control settings and set the screen layout to “diagonal” as in the screenshot above – then the dock will always be on an external monitor.
2. Video mirroring
Video mirroring is similar to Windows Screen Mirroring. When selected, the rectangles in the diagram merge into one and all displays show the same image.
Since 1853, Steinway pianos have set an uncompromising standard for sound, touch, beauty, and investment value. Handcrafting each Steinway requires up to one full year – creating an instrument of rare quality and global renown. Not surprisingly, Steinway remains the choice of 9 out of 10 concert artists, and countless pianists, composers, and performers around the world. Click here to learn more about Steinway pianos at Schmitt Music.
GRAND PIANOS
Handcrafting each Steinway grand requires up to one full year – creating an instrument of rare quality. For more than a century and a half, the world’s most accomplished pianists have preferred to express their musical genius on Steinway & Sons pianos. The list includes the giants in classical, jazz, and popular music; the men and women who have shaped the world’s musical heritage.
Today, more than 98 percent of the world’s active concert pianists choose to perform on Steinway pianos. The joy of playing and owning a Steinway piano, however, is not the exclusive domain of the virtuosi. Rather, it is a world open to all who share a love of music, fine craftsmanship and enduring quality.
A Steinway grand piano takes nearly a year to create. Nothing is hurried. Even the carefully selected woods that make up the rims, top, soundboards, and actions cure for months in our yard, kilns, and conditioning rooms before they stabilize at a rigidly specified moisture content. The rim of the instruments consists of layers of hard rock maple and with our bell-quality, full cast-iron plate, withstands the enormous amount of tension exerted by the strings. The finest acoustic-quality spruce is fashioned into the delicate curve of the Diaphragmatic® soundboard, which tapers gently from the center to the edge, assuring the full, rich Steinway sound.
UPRIGHT PIANOS
That which distinguishes Steinway pianos, more than all else, is summed up in our dedication to a single ideal: make the finest pianos in the world. It has never entered our minds to compromise quality. Where some have substituted mass-produced, synthetic components to speed production or reduce costs, we apply technologies and new materials only when they provide proven enhancements in the piano. We adhere to these principles for one reason — compromise quality, and you risk the sound, the touch, and ultimately, the integrity of the instrument.
Unlike other manufacturers that mass-produce their uprights, Steinway & Sons uprights are handcrafted in the same factory as our grand pianos, using the same techniques, conditioning processes, and craftsmen. The result is the world’s finest upright, living up to the Steinway & Sons name in every respect. Our upright pianos take advantage of over 125 patented features and processes, including our patented Diaphragmatic® soundboard, Accelerated Action® and Hexagrip® pinblock.

Xbox Series X owners planning to boycott console over controversial new feature
Xbox Series X|S owners are planning to boycott the console over a controversial new feature.
Advert
What is this new controversial feature that has angered a portion of the Xbox fanbase? The controversial feature in question is the potential to implement running ads in games, similar to what is seen in the mobile market.
As reported by Comicbook.com, Microsoft’s corporate vice president for game creator experience and ecosystem for the green brand, has “talked” about ads running in-game. It’s not been clarified at this time whether ads running in-game will be related to paid-for or free-to-play titles.
Loading…
Advert
“We invest a lot of time in how we introduce more business model diversity; how we create more options,” Bond told Rolling Stone. “We talk a lot about Game Pass because subscription is the latest option that we scaled: you have pay-to-play, then there was free-to-play, and then we introduced Game Pass.
“We’ve talked about how we’re experimenting with other models, like what does it mean for advertising in games which is more prevalent in mobile – are there models that work well in PC and console? Are there other models where you might have timed slices of games and stuff like that?”
She continued: “Providing creators with options and choice enables them to experiment and do what they like, and actually create more immersive and creative experiences without having to fit into a mould.”
Advert
It’s worth keeping in mind that nothing is set in stone, however, the talk of ads being implemented into Xbox games has still angered the masses and fans on Twitter have been expressing their disdain at the prospect.
“I’ll sell my Xbox the moment they start doing games with ads. Imagine being so far behind the competition and your response to that is… more ads to play from your ad-filled dashboard,” responded Twitter user @SiinthAP to a post from Idle Sloth.
Advert
“Same! Turn my back on Xbox the moment they will do this,” replied OldPixel1984. “Ads in games. She doesn’t have any understanding of what gamers want. She got no taste,” added @Jackgamer74.
Advert
Sadly, if Microsoft decides to sneak ads into games, it won’t be the first time a company has done this in the industry. In September 2020, as reported by GameSpot, EA faced a wave of backlash after it put ads into UFC 4, before being swiftly removed.
More recently, fans described Warner Bros. Games as ‘shameful’ when Hogwarts Legacy ads were found in Mortal Kombat 11. What arguably made this sneaky ad campaign worse, is that other than sharing the same publisher, Hogwarts Legacy and MK11are very different games, to say the least.
It seems that publishers are forever trying to find ways to sneak ads into games, including those that are paid for and the only way it could be stopped is by gamers continuing to let their voices be heard.

The History of Basketball Cards
The history of basketball trading cards is rich and fascinating, including how they have increased in value over time. The first basketball trading cards were printed in the early 1900s and put in cigarette packs to advertise different brands, much like baseball cards of the time. These vintage basketball cards, which featured black and white images of well-known players, are highly valued and sought after by collectors today and worth a lot of money.
NBA Basketball cards became even more popular when the Bowman Gum Company produced its first set of basketball cards in 1948. This set was more in line with what we think of today as basketball cards, featuring vibrant pictures of individual basketball players. Early cards in this series have really gone up in value, especially in the last few years.
In the 1960s, the production of basketball trading cards began to evolve. Card manufacturers started to include more statistics and other information about the players on the cards. This helped to make the cards more valuable to collectors and helped spur the growth of the sports memorabilia industry.
Which NBA Basketball Cards are worth money?
NBA Basketball card collecting has developed a high-value collectible market with thousands and thousands of fans. Basketball card sets are now produced by a number of companies, including Topps, Fleer, Panini, and Upper Deck. Each year, these companies release new card sets that showcase the top players in the current season. While they have become popular sports memorabilia, rookie cards for the best players seem to gain in value faster than most.
A great example of a highly valuable rookie card is the 1986 Fleer Michael Jordan card, which is regarded as one of the most iconic trading cards of all time. This legendary player’s card sells for thousands of dollars, and remains one of basketball’s most sought after and valuable cards.
Many basketball cards are available in different versions, such as holographic or foil-stamped versions, driving up their value to collectors. The condition of a card, which should be professionally graded by experts if you want to know its true value, is also important if you want to sell cards to modern collectors. Certain sets of cards from commemorative events, autographed cards, and those with limited distribution tend to increase in value as well. Professional graders take all of these elements in account when they judge the value of a basketball card.
NBA Basketball card collecting remains popular today. There are also numerous online forums and websites where collectors discuss their collections and trade cards as the hobby continues to gain popularity. There are so many different cards to choose from, enabling every collector to find basketball cards they like and personally value.
The most expensive basketball cards of November-December – Hobby: Collectible cards – Blogs
Hobby: Collectible cards
Blog
Hello everyone!
After a short break, the top most expensive basketball cards are back. Today we will capture 2 months – November and December.
In order for the cards of different periods to be presented in the top, I divided it into three parts: before the 90s, the 90s and the first half of the 00s and the last 10 years.
Let’s go from new cards to old ones (most often this means an increase in cost).
So, the top 4 most expensive new cards.
4) In fourth place is a 1/1 LeBron James card from Flawless 2015-16 with the NBA logo. They paid $10,300 for it.
3) Next is newcomer Steph Curry from Topps Chrome 2009-10. The gold parallel in this collection has a circulation of 50 copies. Added to this is the almost perfect condition of the card, and the total price is $10,600.
2) And the same amount was paid for a Karl-Anthony Towns card with a mourning patch dedicated to Flip Saunders of Flawless 2015-16.
1) And in the first place, 2 league logos and two Golden State stars – the same Steph Curry and Klay Thompson. It’s the same Flawless collection from last season. The price of this card is $12,000 without one dollar.
Further older cards. I will say in advance that all 4 are from the second half of the 90s
4-3) And open the top two cards of Michael Jordan with a jersey and an autograph. In the first case, the card in this form was inserted into the blocks of the Upper Deck 19 collection98-99 – a kind of parallel with the autograph with a circulation of 23 copies. $10,999 was paid for the card. And the second card in the collection of the previous season was a regular unnumbered jersey. For a re-release in 2013, an autograph was at stake in the Jordan collection. The resulting result was estimated at $15,000.
2) Next, another overlay of the top newcomer from Topps Chrome. This time it’s Kobe Bryant and the 1995-96 collection. Plus, the card itself is in excellent condition. Price $17500.
1) And in the first place is the red parallel Metall Universe PMG by Michael Jordan with an edition of only 100 copies. In addition, the card number 23/100 is of additional interest. It should also be noted that the card was sent to the PSA for an authenticity check, but not for a condition assessment. The rating would not be high – edge damage (not rare for cards of this sub-series) is visible to the naked eye. As a result, the card was sold for $21453.
Well, the oldest top contains only classic rookie cards of future NBA legends.
4) And this list opens with Wilt Chamberlain’s map from the Fleer collection from 1961. The condition of the card is 9 points out of 10 possible, and the price is $32,211.
3-2) Next, two cards from rookie Michael Jordan. Moreover, for a rarer 9-point card from Star-85, they paid more ($40,207) than for a 10-point card from Fleer-86 ($35,999).
1) Well, absolutely out of competition is the triple card of Larry Bird, Julius Irving and Magic Johnson – the main newcomers of the 1979 season-80 from Topps. Three members of the Hall of Fame + the perfect condition of the card itself gave a total of $96423.
Thank you for your attention!

Insignia is Best Buy’s in-house brand that makes all kinds of tech from appliances to GPS systems. However, Insignia is most well known in the consumer electronics world for its budget TVs that compete with the likes of TCL, Toshiba, Hisense, and Amazon, to name just a few.
Insignia TVs are today divided up into four distinct lines: the N10 Series, F20 Series, F30 Series and F50 Series. These TV ranges scale up in terms of features and price, but the biggest and most expensive Insignia TVs will still cost you less than $1000, placing the brand firmly at the budget-conscious end of the market.
So, does retail giant Best Buy know what it takes to make a good TV? What features do Insignia TVs offer, and why might you want to buy one over a set from another brand? We haven’t put these Insignia TVs through our comprehensive review process, but there’s still a lot we can learn from delving into the specs of these sets.
So if you’re wondering whether to take the plunge on an Insignia TV deal, sit back, strap in, and read on to learn all about the 2022 Insignia TV range…

What do Insignia TVs offer?
(Image credit: Insignia)
Insignia has a vast selection of TVs that range from 720p resolution to 4K; from ‘smart’ and app-filled to, well, non-smart and app-less; and from less than $100 to around $850. However, despite models boasting different feature sets, all Insignia TVs do share some things in common.
Firstly, Insignia TVs don’t carry premium picture-related features often associated with higher-priced TVs, such as HDR10+, 120Hz support or gaming-focused features like VRR. Screen technology like full-array local dimming is also absent, as is HDMI 2. 1 support. While these ommissions may disappoint those looking for a no-compromises set, they also invariably help to keep Insignia’s prices competitive.
Secondly, most – but not all – of its models across the ranges are ‘smart’ TVs, meaning they can be connected to the internet and that supported video streaming services can be played directly from them. As all of Insignia’s smart TVs use Amazon’s Fire TV smart platform, the choice of apps available is plentiful, though the interface is rather Amazon-centric, so if you’re not an Amazon Prime subscriber or fan of the Amazon ecosystem, you may want to consider TVs based on other smart platforms, like TCL’s Roku TVs or Hisense’s Google TVs, to name a few.
Luckily, all of Insignia’s TVs come with familiar features like VESA mounting support and a variety of HDMI inputs including HDMI ARC. Generally strong user ratings and reviews attached to their listings on Best Buy help their case too.
In short, Insignia TVs aren’t at the cutting edge of TV tech. They don’t have premium OLED or Mini LED panels or next-gen gaming features. But if you’re not concerned with buying the best set money can buy and your priority lies with getting the most screen for not a lot of money or just finding a cheap set for a second room in the house, Insignia offers up a spread of affordable TVs you’d have no trouble using to watch or stream whatever you’d like or casually play some games on.
The N10 Series is Insignia’s most basic TV range, starting at $90 and topping out at $220. This is the only Insignia line without smart support, so if you want to stream from, say, Netflix or Hulu, you’ll need to go up a TV range. Alternatively, you could buy and connect a cheap dedicated streamer.
The 19-inch, 24-inch, and 32-inch N10 TVs only support 720p, lower than the 1080p of today that is nowadays considered fairly basic in light of the increasing prevalence of 4K TVs. That said, for a 19-inch display, the difference between 720p and 1080p is going to be a lot less noticeable than it is on a larger screen.
Not all of the N10 Series TVs are 720p, though. The 40-inch and 43-inch N10 TVs are 1080p, which is a much better fit for a screen of these sizes.
Features-wise, the N10 TVs are generally about as basic as TVs come these days, but they are also some of the cheapest too. The 19-inch N10, for example, will only run you $90, so if you’ve got a small space you’d like to squeeze a small TV into, like a kitchen, then a set like this might be just the ticket.
We will say this, though: spending $220 on a 43-inch N10 1080p LED TV is very unlikely to be the best deal out there. Even for that modest budget, it isn’t hard to find 4K/HDR TVs of the same size from other competing brands as well as Insignia’s own F30 Series and F50 Series TVs…
Should you buy an Insignia F20 Series Fire TV?
(Image credit: Insignia)
Sizes: 24-inch, 32-inch, 42-inch
Display type: LED
Resolution: 1080p
Refresh rate: 60Hz
HDR: None
Audio: DTS TruSurround
HDMI: ARC
Insignia’s F20 Series Fire TVs are a step up from the brand’s N10 Series TVs, but not in the way you might expect. In terms of picture quality, we’d expect much the same performance from F20 TVs as we’d see from 1080p N10 TVs, considering they both have 60Hz LED displays.
The big difference between the two comes down to the F20 Series having smart functionality courtesy of Amazon’s Fire TV OS. With the F20 Series, you can stream from a wide variety of video and music apps as well as enjoy Alexa voice control support, too. The F20 Series has a more limited choice of screen sizes than the N10 Series, though all the F20 TVs are 1080p regardless of size.
Pricing on the F20 Series TVs is, unsurprisingly, similar to the N10 Series. A 24-inch F20 will run you $190, a 32-inch costs $200, and a 42-inch is $270. Over the N10 Series, the F20 Series will go for around $50 to $90 more for the same size set to get that Fire TV functionality. So, we’d consider opting for an N10 Series model and buying a $25-$35 streaming stick if you’re looking to save.
Elsewhere, you can find similarly sized sets with more features, like 4K/HDR support, for about the same prices as the N20 Series – especially if you’re keeping track of sales. But if you don’t plan on watching 4K or HDR content, you might not be better served by an alternative set that supports it.
The F30 Series Fire TV line is where Insignia’s offerings start to get interesting. Like Insignia’s N10 and F20 lines, F30 TVs also have LED displays and 60Hz refresh rates and are smart, but they’re also 4K resolution and support both HDR10 and HLG. HDR is about displaying a wider and subtler range of colors, which can look great, but you will need HDR content to take advantage.
The F30 Series TVs are much more in line with the best-spec’d TVs at the budget end of the market nowadays. They put ticks next to 4K and HDR support, though reasonably their spec sheets stop short of fancier display technologies, like QLED and OLED panels, and niche features like VRR for gamers. That’s OK, though, as TVs boasting such skills are far pricier than the F30s…
Insignia’s F30 Series starts off at $300 for the 43-inch set and goes all the way up to $850 for the 75-inch set. These are often on sale for much less, too, so that can be a huge bonus. If you compare prices with Insignia’s other TV lines, a 43-inch 1080p (no HDR) N10 is $220 and a 42-inch 1080p (no HDR) F20 is $270.
That $30 to $80 extra spend for an F30 model (or zero if the sale price is right) will net you a massive increase in resolution alongside HDR and HLG support, and you’ll be getting smart TV functionality over the N10 Series.
This combination of features and price is about what you’ll see from other budget manufacturers’ flagship TVs – those from TCL and Hisense and the like offer similarly spec’d, similarly sized sets for around the same prices.
Should you buy an Insignia F50 Series Fire TV?
(Image credit: Insignia)
Sizes: 50-inch, 55-inch, 65-inch
Display type: QLED
Resolution: 4K
Refresh rate: 60Hz
HDR: HDR10, HLG
Audio: DTS Virtual-X
HDMI: ARC and eARC
The F50 Fire TV Series is where Insignia starts adding in some more premium features. These smart TVs sport QLED displays alongside 4K/60Hz support, HDR10, HLG, DTS Virtual-X, and HDMI eARC.
While we haven’t seen firsthand how QLED tech is implemented in Insignia TVs, QLED technology is the real deal. QLED displays routinely offer better color and contrast over traditional LED TVs and can potentially provide better brightness than OLED TVs (though typically don’t go as dark as them).
Insignia’s F50 Series Fire TVs go for $430 for the 50-inch, $500 for the 55-inch, and $650 for the 65-inch, making them only $30 to $80 more expensive than an equally sized F30 Series set. For the price of sales tax, you can get yourself a meaningful upgrade in image quality.
What’s more, these Insignia QLED sets are competitively priced compared to the QLED competition. For reference, Amazon’s new QLED Fire TV costs $800 for the 65-inch mode, though you can find similarly sized QLED sets from other competitors like Hisense and TCL that cost less.
So, should you buy an Insignia TV? Are they worth it?
(Image credit: Insignia)
Insignia TVs have a lot to offer, albeit some models more than others. In 2022, you can do better than spending hundreds of dollars on a 1080p TV or a TV without smart functionality. You can almost always find smart, often 4K/HDR-supporting sets for the same or similar prices.
However, the more expensive lines of Insignia TVs, like the F30 Series and the F50 Series, appear to offer better value for the money than models further down, delivering 4K/HDR picture support at decent screen sizes for anywhere between $300 and $650. And look out for those deals and discounts at Best Buy, not least during the Black Friday sales.
There is only so much anyone – including us – can tell of a TV’s value for money without having properly reviewed it. Picture performance quality can vary wildly, of course, and we’d be hesitant to heartily recommend anything we hadn’t put through its paces. (For tried and tested TVs, check out our best budget TVs, and below you’ll find links to Insignia TVs.)
But judging from the specs, features list and the many positive reviews from customers online, an Insignia TV looks to be a solid, cost-effective way to bring a smart TV into your home. So long as you don’t mind the Amazon OS.

Frequently asked questions
Are Insignia TVs smart TVs?
Luckily, the majority of Insignia TVs are smart TVs that use Amazon’s Fire TV platform and operating system. The only current range that isn’t is the Insignia N10 series. Though, sometimes it can be more cost-effective to buy an N10 TV and a streaming stick over a more expensive smart TV, depending on what you’re looking for.
Which is better, Insignia or TCL?
Insignia and TCL are both popular brands targeting the budget end of the market, and oftentimes, if you’re looking for a deal, you may well be choosing between a TCL set and an Insignia set.
TCL makes a lot of Roku TVs, while Insignia makes Fire TVs. If you prefer the Amazon ecosystem, go with Insignia, and if you like Roku more, go with TCL. Depending on what services you already use, one may be a better fit for you than another.
In general, though, if you aren’t comparing TVs with the same spread of features, some TCL sets will offer extra features like full-array local dimming and VRR. More basic sets tend to be cheaper over at Insignia, while if you’re willing to pay a bit more, TCL tends to offer more for your money.
Depending on what you’re looking for out of a TV, you may prefer the fuller feature set of TCL; however, some will prefer the Fire TV experience of Insignia and may not care about more niche gaming features like VRR.
Which is better, Insignia or Hisense?
Hisense is another brand that usually targets the budget end of the market, and oftentimes, if you’re looking for a deal, you may well be choosing between a Hisense set and an Insignia set.
As is the case with TCL, some Hisense and Insignia TVs will be similar in terms of specs and prices. One of the differences that might swing your decision could be the operating system they use, whether that’s Google TV and Hisense or Insignia and Fire TV.
However, in general, Hisense TVs tend to be a bit more expensive than Insignia TVs. Though, you will be able to find Hisense TVs with more features than Insignia TVs, including IPS panels and VRR support.
So, if you’re looking for a simple TV at the lowest price, you might look at Insignia, and if you’re looking for a budget TV with the most competitive features, you’re more likely to be swayed by Hisense.

Elsewhere, you can find similarly sized sets with more features, like 4K/HDR support, for about the same prices as the N20 Series – especially if you’re keeping track of sales. But if you don’t plan on watching 4K or HDR content, you might not be better served by an alternative set that supports it.
The F30 Series Fire TV line is where Insignia’s offerings start to get interesting. Like Insignia’s N10 and F20 lines, F30 TVs also have LED displays and 60Hz refresh rates and are smart, but they’re also 4K resolution and support both HDR10 and HLG. HDR is about displaying a wider and subtler range of colors, which can look great, but you will need HDR content to take advantage.
The F30 Series TVs are much more in line with the best-spec’d TVs at the budget end of the market nowadays. They put ticks next to 4K and HDR support, though reasonably their spec sheets stop short of fancier display technologies, like QLED and OLED panels, and niche features like VRR for gamers. That’s OK, though, as TVs boasting such skills are far pricier than the F30s…
Insignia’s F30 Series starts off at $300 for the 43-inch set and goes all the way up to $850 for the 75-inch set. These are often on sale for much less, too, so that can be a huge bonus. If you compare prices with Insignia’s other TV lines, a 43-inch 1080p (no HDR) N10 is $220 and a 42-inch 1080p (no HDR) F20 is $270.
That $30 to $80 extra spend for an F30 model (or zero if the sale price is right) will net you a massive increase in resolution alongside HDR and HLG support, and you’ll be getting smart TV functionality over the N10 Series.
This combination of features and price is about what you’ll see from other budget manufacturers’ flagship TVs – those from TCL and Hisense and the like offer similarly spec’d, similarly sized sets for around the same prices.
Should you buy an Insignia F50 Series Fire TV?
(Image credit: Insignia)
Sizes: 50-inch, 55-inch, 65-inch
Display type: QLED
Resolution: 4K
Refresh rate: 60Hz
HDR: HDR10, HLG
Audio: DTS Virtual-X
HDMI: ARC and eARC
The F50 Fire TV Series is where Insignia starts adding in some more premium features. These smart TVs sport QLED displays alongside 4K/60Hz support, HDR10, HLG, DTS Virtual-X, and HDMI eARC.
While we haven’t seen firsthand how QLED tech is implemented in Insignia TVs, QLED technology is the real deal. QLED displays routinely offer better color and contrast over traditional LED TVs and can potentially provide better brightness than OLED TVs (though typically don’t go as dark as them).
Insignia’s F50 Series Fire TVs go for $430 for the 50-inch, $500 for the 55-inch, and $650 for the 65-inch, making them only $30 to $80 more expensive than an equally sized F30 Series set. For the price of sales tax, you can get yourself a meaningful upgrade in image quality.
What’s more, these Insignia QLED sets are competitively priced compared to the QLED competition. For reference, Amazon’s new QLED Fire TV costs $800 for the 65-inch mode, though you can find similarly sized QLED sets from other competitors like Hisense and TCL that cost less.
So, should you buy an Insignia TV? Are they worth it?

Insignia TVs have a lot to offer, albeit some models more than others. In 2022, you can do better than spending hundreds of dollars on a 1080p TV or a TV without smart functionality. You can almost always find smart, often 4K/HDR-supporting sets for the same or similar prices.
However, the more expensive lines of Insignia TVs, like the F30 Series and the F50 Series, appear to offer better value for the money than models further down, delivering 4K/HDR picture support at decent screen sizes for anywhere between $300 and $650. And look out for those deals and discounts at Best Buy, not least during the Black Friday sales.
There is only so much anyone – including us – can tell of a TV’s value for money without having properly reviewed it. Picture performance quality can vary wildly, of course, and we’d be hesitant to heartily recommend anything we hadn’t put through its paces. (For tried and tested TVs, check out our best budget TVs, and below you’ll find links to Insignia TVs.)
But judging from the specs, features list and the many positive reviews from customers online, an Insignia TV looks to be a solid, cost-effective way to bring a smart TV into your home. So long as you don’t mind the Amazon OS.

Frequently asked questions
Are Insignia TVs smart TVs?
Luckily, the majority of Insignia TVs are smart TVs that use Amazon’s Fire TV platform and operating system. The only current range that isn’t is the Insignia N10 series. Though, sometimes it can be more cost-effective to buy an N10 TV and a streaming stick over a more expensive smart TV, depending on what you’re looking for.
Which is better, Insignia or TCL?
Insignia and TCL are both popular brands targeting the budget end of the market, and oftentimes, if you’re looking for a deal, you may well be choosing between a TCL set and an Insignia set.
TCL makes a lot of Roku TVs, while Insignia makes Fire TVs. If you prefer the Amazon ecosystem, go with Insignia, and if you like Roku more, go with TCL. Depending on what services you already use, one may be a better fit for you than another.
In general, though, if you aren’t comparing TVs with the same spread of features, some TCL sets will offer extra features like full-array local dimming and VRR. More basic sets tend to be cheaper over at Insignia, while if you’re willing to pay a bit more, TCL tends to offer more for your money.
Depending on what you’re looking for out of a TV, you may prefer the fuller feature set of TCL; however, some will prefer the Fire TV experience of Insignia and may not care about more niche gaming features like VRR.
Which is better, Insignia or Hisense?
Hisense is another brand that usually targets the budget end of the market, and oftentimes, if you’re looking for a deal, you may well be choosing between a Hisense set and an Insignia set.
As is the case with TCL, some Hisense and Insignia TVs will be similar in terms of specs and prices. One of the differences that might swing your decision could be the operating system they use, whether that’s Google TV and Hisense or Insignia and Fire TV.
However, in general, Hisense TVs tend to be a bit more expensive than Insignia TVs. Though, you will be able to find Hisense TVs with more features than Insignia TVs, including IPS panels and VRR support.
So, if you’re looking for a simple TV at the lowest price, you might look at Insignia, and if you’re looking for a budget TV with the most competitive features, you’re more likely to be swayed by Hisense.

Sobyanin presented city and state awards to Muscovites :: News :: TV Center
Builders, teachers, doctors and other specialists received medals, orders and distinctions
Sergei Sobyanin presented city and state awards to outstanding residents of the capital. The solemn ceremony took place in the White Hall of the City Hall. Among the awarded – scientists, doctors, teachers, builders, transport workers. Separately, Sergei Sobyanin noted the student of the medical class Bogdan Rudik. He saved a passenger aboard a plane flying from Sochi to Moscow.
On the eve of Russia’s Independence Day, those who today contribute to its development were honored. In the Moscow mayor’s office, teachers, doctors, builders, scientists and lawyers are all who daily provide for the life of the whole country, and, in particular, its capital. Mayor Sergei Sobyanin presents awards from the president and on his own behalf.
“You are all a big team of Moscow, the city that is the heart of our country. How it develops, how this heart beats, the fate of our state as a whole largely depends. Thank you for your work!” – said the mayor of Moscow, Sergei Sobyanin.
Among the awards presented by the mayor is the Order of Alexander Nevsky. It was received by Valery Telichenko, President of the National Research Moscow State University of Civil Engineering, and Igor Shpektor, Chairman of the Commission of the Public Chamber of Russia on Housing and Communal Services, Construction and Roads. The medal of the Order “For Merit to the Fatherland” I and II degrees was presented to the Deputy Chairman of the All-Russian Physical Culture and Sports Society “Dynamo” Alexander Elizarov. A number of Muscovites were awarded honorary titles. From a subway driver to a builder. Their merits were marked by certificates of honor and letters of thanks from the President of Russia. And those who have been working in their profession for many years were awarded honorary titles: “Honored Doctor of Russia”, “Honored Builder”, “Honored Teacher”. Olga Khoroshilova devoted a quarter of a century to teaching biology to Moscow schoolchildren and continues her work today.
“We teach children not only classical biology, but, for example, we try to introduce practice. This year we tried to organize field practice for children so that they would visually try to study biology in natural conditions, because this is not enough in the city” , – Olga Khoroshilova, teacher of biology at school No. 1354 “Vector”, said.
Bogdan Rudik, a 16-year-old schoolboy from Moscow, receives an award from the hands of the mayor not for his work, but for his feat. It was he who saved the passenger of the Sochi-Moscow flight and provided first aid in time right in the air. Since then, the student always carries a first aid kit with him. Just in case. He says that then the knowledge gained in the medical class helped him save a human life. Today there are such in many metropolitan schools.
“Naturally, if I hadn’t studied at the medical class, I wouldn’t have been able to do a lot of things, so to speak, it’s a lot of work in a team, a lot of work for the Moscow government, and the school, and the director, in particular, and the teacher. Everything They did a very good job on this in order to put knowledge into us,” commented Bogdan Rudik, a student of the Moscow School No. 1573.
Special mention was given to those who invest this knowledge and apply it in practice. Among the awardees are the best doctors in the capital who save hundreds of lives every day throughout the country.

Putin presented state awards in the Kremlin :: News :: TV Center
People from all over the vast country gathered in the Catherine’s Hall of the Kremlin. Someone overcame the path from Yamal to Moscow. Someone recently returned from the NWO zone to receive a state award from the hands of the president. It is to them that he turns first.
Putin spoke about a world without Ukraine
“Dear friends, participation in the fate of their native country, readiness to defend national interests have always distinguished the character of the Russian people. Today in this hall are participants in a special military operation. And they are representatives of the entire multinational community of our country. We are proud of their valor and courage,” Putin said.
Alexander Kolesov from Yakutia was awarded the title Hero of Russia for this. Under the fire of superior enemy forces, he not only managed to organize a competent defense, personally destroying several pieces of military equipment, but also took out more than 50 wounded soldiers from the fierce shelling.
“For us, examples are the heroes of past years. Their exploits are immortal. The exploits of today’s heroes are also immortal. Today, the entire West is up in arms against our country. Their goal is to destroy our country. To trample, slander it. But we, the descendants of our ancestors, will not allow never,” said Alexander Kolesov.
Cosmonaut Pyotr Dubrov also received a gold star from the hands of the president today. He was in orbit for almost a year, setting a record among Russians for the duration of his stay on the ISS.
“It is a special honor for me today to be in the same ranks with those who received their awards for their exploits on the battlefield. Today, when once again the masks are dropped and Western Nazism showed its true face to the world, great-grandchildren, grandchildren of those who during the years of the Second World War II also defended us on the battlefields, stood up to protect not only innocent people, but humanity itself,” the test cosmonaut noted.
Mentors of heroes of Russia received a special honor on this day. The teachers of Sergey Polushen, Vladimir Kiselyov, Dmitry Perminov and Alexander Cheshaev – Nina Okulova, Alexander Plesnev, Natalya Chebakova and Nina Cheshaeva received distinctions for mentorship from the hands of the President. The teachers of the heroes of Russia Alexei Kovalchuk, Pavel Ostanin and Eduard Tseev – Irina Konstantinova, Tatyana Ashchepkova, Maria Trofimenko – were awarded the title of Honored Teacher of Russia. Artem Kuzin’s mentor Sagit Ibragimov was awarded the title of Honored Worker of Culture. And the director of the school where the hero of Russia Alexei Osokin studied was awarded the title of people’s teacher.
The family always plays a special role in the upbringing of the younger generation. “Raising children is both joy and everyday work. Honoring families with many children is in the tradition of our people. I am glad to welcome Lyudmila Nikolaevna Badmaeva and Medni Musaevna Kadyrova to this hall, awarded the title “Mother Heroine,” Putin said.
For a great contribution In the development of parliamentarism, Leonid Slutsky, head of the LDPR faction in the State Duma, was awarded the Order of Merit to the Fatherland of the third degree, musician Igor Butman and President of the International Sambo Federation Vasily Shestakov were awarded the fourth degree. 0003
The President awarded Tulatochmash General Director Vladimir Filippov and Director of the Victory Museum, Deputy Secretary of the Public Chamber of Russia Alexander Shkolnik with the Order of Alexander Nevsky.
“I want those who hear and see me to know that all of us and our colleagues, not only the Victory Museum, but also all the military-historical, historical museums that have recently united into an association, we all stood, we stand and will stand in defense of historical truth,” said Alexander Shkolnik.
Now they are actively trying to erase this truth by rewriting history. And Russia must prevent this by preserving not only the memory, but also the inter-confessional balance within the state, where dozens of peoples and nationalities coexist peacefully. Damba Ayusheev, the head of the Buddhist traditional sangha of Russia, who was awarded the Order of Honor, spoke about this unique feature today. And the chairman of the regional spiritual administration of Muslims of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug Khaidar Khafizov, who received the Order of Friendship from the hands of the president. The Chief Military Rabbi of Russia Aharon Gurevich was awarded the same award.
“Russia is a unique example of interfaith peace and accord. And this was achieved thanks to your wise, balanced policy,” said Aaron Gurevich.
This can also be seen from the composition of the participants in the special military operation, to the topic of which the laureates of state awards returned every now and then. Among them were representatives of new Russian regions. Alexander Evstifeev, the President presents him with a medal for Courage, from Zaporozhye. Sergiy Povolotsky is in charge of the administration of one of the districts in the Kherson region. And Evgeny Zhilitsyn from Donetsk. Head of the children’s department in the republican trauma center.
“At one time, Nikolay Ivanovich Pirogov, whose order I was awarded, said that war is an epidemic of injuries. For 9 years now, the republican trauma center in Donetsk has been standing and working at the forefront of this epidemic. Every day it fights for the health and lives of wounded servicemen and civilians, as well as, unfortunately, wounded children. Once again, I want to thank you, Vladimir Vladimirovich, for such a high assessment of our work, for support, understanding and hope,” Yevgeny Zhilitsyn said.
“Dear friends, just now a doctor from Donbass, a children’s doctor, said that for 9 years Donbass has been repelling attacks on people who live there. For nine years, our enemy, the enemy of our people, has been waging war against these people. We often they say that Russia started some kind of war. No! Russia, with the help of a special military operation, is trying to stop this war that is being waged against us. Against our people, part of which, due to historical injustice, ended up outside the borders of the historical Russian state. But from this they do not ceased to be our people. And Russia is doing everything to protect them,” Putin said.
There is no doubt about that. This was clearly seen in the mood of those fighters who had recently returned from the front. Among them is Dmitry Rasputikov. Captain of the Russian National Guard, awarded the Order of Courage.
“Today is a special moment of our powerful consolidation. The sharpening of our national feeling. The desire to strengthen the foundations of our spirituality at all costs. To create conditions in the economy, production, education of our young people. In order to ensure the unconditional future of our country. And you are making your visible, tangible contribution to this. Thank you very much for this,” Putin said.
This “thank you” was also addressed to the head of the Constitutional Court of Russia, Valery Zorkin, and the first head of Tatarstan, Mintimer Shaimiev, who today were awarded the highest state award – the Order of the Holy Apostle Andrew the First-Called. And Alexey Savelyev, a tractor driver from the Altai Territory. And Mirzabekova Lira, a machine milking operator from the Saratov region. Everyone who, in his place, benefits the country, helping it survive in this really difficult time.

For everything from school art supplies to calculators, binders, school backpacks, lunch boxes and more, we’ve got what your students need to succeed.
Take a seat
Whether you’re working from home or outfitting a space for gaming, your comfort is dependent on finding the best chair. At Staples, we provide a broad range of office chairs and seating, so you can find the right fit for you. Select from multifunctional task chairs, computer & desk chairs, drafting stools and more. If you will be using your new chair for multiple hours a day, make sure to get an ergonomic office chair to prevent unnecessary strain.
Comfort, all day long
Office furniture that is the proper size and height makes a big difference. When shopping for chairs, the height of the seat should be adjustable so that the user’s feet can sit flat on the floor with their knees at right angles. Likewise, the accompanying office desk should be at a height where the users’ elbows can sit comfortably at right angles at their sides while typing or writing.

Make sure to match your new chair to an ergonomic gaming desk, the perfect complement for the high-tech gaming computer and accessories you’ve invested in.
Show seasonal allergies who’s boss
If you suffer from seasonal allergies, now is when they are at their worst. Stock up on allergy season’s most important products to keep your home, classroom, and office allergen-free. Start with an air purifier to strip the air of allergens like pollen and pet dander and replace existing air filters for improved air quality. Frequently dust, wipe down hard surfaces, and vacuum carpets and furniture to help eliminate pollen tracked in from outside and dander left behind by pets. When leaving the house, check the pollen count and bring a face mask to help filter the air you breath outside.
No matter what you do, it’s unlikely that the symptoms of seasonal allergies can be avoided entirely. Make sure to have over-the-counter cold and allergy medications on hand to battle symptoms, and stock up on facial tissues so you’ll always have one available when you need them.
Spring (Cleaning) is in the air
Spring cleaning and decluttering is a tradition meant to refresh our spaces for the year ahead. Staples has everything you need to clear out the clutter, store and organize your belongings, and all the right cleaning supplies.
Clear out the clutter
Start by preparing a checklist and make sure you have all the necessary supplies. Use storage bins and a label maker to make sorting and organizing easier. Prepare extra boxes for donations and trash bags for the things you no longer need. Look for decorative boxes & baskets that will compliment your home’s décor and use them to organize. You can also use closet organizers and storage drawers anywhere they are needed.
Start with the basics
An all-purpose cleaner, cleaning brush and microfiber cloths will clean most surfaces. Use a duster to remove unwanted dirt and furniture polish to revitalize wood surfaces. Upgrade your broom, dustpan, wet mop, and vacuum to make cleaning any type of flooring a breeze.
The nitty gritty
Spring cleaning doesn’t stop there. There’s so much you can do to reset your home:
Improve air quality and eliminate pollen and pet dander with a new air purifier and an air freshener with a scent you love.
On a sunny day, take the opportunity to clean your windows – you’ll need glass cleaner, a bucket, a squeegee, and paper towels.
Have a step stool or ladder on hand to access hard-to-reach places like the tops of cabinets and overhead lighting.
Replace broken light bulbs and check the batteries in your smoke detectors.
Use drain cleaner to clear up sink and bathtub drains.

Of all the devices that use digital storage, choosing the best storage solution for 4K camcorders can be the easiest task. Regardless of the capabilities of high-end 4K camcorders, their specific requirements are so stringent and high that finding a data store for them is quite easy. There are not so many variables that make it difficult to choose.
Before we get into what to look for when choosing the right storage, let’s talk a little about 4K itself.
“4” means the number four. “K” means a thousand. So 4K means 4000, but in this case it refers to any video resolution with approximately 4000 horizontal pixels.
Why approximately? Because the term 4K is used to describe two separate but similar standards. In professional circles such as the Digital Cinema Initiatives (DCI) consortium, 4K resolution is 4096 x 2160 and is used for movies. The 4K format used in the consumer world (TVs and video equipment) is called Ultra High Definition (UHD) and has a resolution of 3840 x 2160. So one standard has more than 4000 pixels and the other has less. Thus, the value of 4000 horizontal pixels is an approximation.
With four times the pixel resolution of 1080p, 4K video (both professional and consumer) is crisper, more detailed and amazingly sharp than the HD and Full HD video that seemed so impressive not so long ago. It is also easier to work with during editing, does not affect image quality after any stabilization process, and produces still images at nearly 8 megapixels.
But there’s one small problem: Four times the pixels can mean a stunning image, but it also means twice the storage space. For example, one hour of 1080p digital footage requires 23GB of storage, while one hour of 4K video takes up 45GB.
When it comes to shooting 4K video, four things really matter: card capacity, write speed, bit rate, and video speed. And three of them focus on the same characteristic. In this article, we will be referring to standard size SD cards and microSD cards.
Card capacity. You already know that shooting 4K video results in very large files. Just mentioned that an hour of 4K video takes up approximately 45 GB of storage. Start with 63 GB if you’re shooting for less than an hour or don’t worry about running out of storage. The cards can be up to 256GB in capacity and are great for 4K video.
Write speed. This is probably the most important factor when choosing storage for 4K video. The card you choose must have a write speed fast enough to keep up with the incoming data stream. But the choice is easy. There are six different SD card speed classes. Only the U3 class is capable of recording at the rate required for 4K video, which is 30MB/s. Choose only cards marked U3 (number 3 inside a capital U).
Baud rate. Using an SD card with speed class U3 with compatible devices that support the UHS bus interface may increase card transfer speeds. Most cameras support UHS bus interface, which can take advantage of UHS memory cards. There are UHS-I and UHS-II bus interface. UHS-I has a theoretical data transfer rate of up to 104MB/s, while the UHS-II interface is up to 312MB/s. U1 and U3 SD cards are only compatible with the UHS-I bus interface, while UHS-II is used by Video Speed Class memory cards.
Video speed. SD memory cards for 4K video storage must have at least a V30 rating/label. This means they have a minimum continuous write speed of 30MB/s required for 4K video. SD cards with the Video Speed Class are specifically designed for shooting and storing 4K or 8K video. The UHS-I bus interface can only support speed classes V6-V30, while UHS-II supports memory cards with speed classes V6-V90. V90 is used in UHS-II mode or higher.
If you need the ultimate performance SD card for 4K video, look no further than UHS-II cards with speed class V90.
These are all great options for UHS Speed Class SD cards if your camcorder needs faster recording speeds for 4K or 8K resolution. Having a fast enough SD card with the right write speed is essential, so check the user manual for your device for the required memory card specifications.
Helpful advice. The capacity you select must be twice the capacity you would normally use when recording at 1080p, and each of the three speed classes (recording, data, and video) is based on the 30 MB/s required for recording 4K.

FYI
Over-ear headphones are for people who want to totally immerse themselves in their listening or don’t like the feeling of earbuds in their ears. The larger drivers, compared with those in earbuds, generally allow over-ear pairs to produce better sound than comparably priced in-ear models.
We’ve tested hundreds of over-ear headphones, including wireless Bluetooth, traditional wired, and noise-cancelling sets. This article provides an overview of our top over-ear picks across our different headphone guides, with links to our full coverage.
Wired or wireless
Wired headphones are simple to use and don’t need to be charged, but there’s no denying the freedom and convenience of Bluetooth.
How will you use them
Do you want an all-purpose pair of headphones, or a pair that excels at a specific function like noise cancellation or vocal clarity?
Form and fit
Comfort is crucial. Headphones should feel good on or over your ears and stay put without squeezing your head too tightly.
Features
Today’s headphones can be loaded with features like adjustable noise cancellation, voice control, and advanced sound equalization.

How to shop for over-ear headphones
When it comes to headphones, one size does not fit all, both literally and figuratively. You have a lot of factors to consider in your personal quest to find the “best” pair of over-ear headphones. Here are some important questions to ask yourself:
Wired or wireless? Generally speaking, you can get better performance for less money if you choose wired headphones, since the cost goes mainly into performance and design instead of features like Bluetooth. And with wired headphones, you don’t have to worry about charging a battery. Still, many people love the freedom and convenience that wireless headphones bring, especially now that headphone jacks are disappearing from smartphones. If both connection methods sound appealing, consider a pair that can work both wired and wirelessly, but be sure to check whether some features are disabled in wired mode.
How will you use them? Are you looking for a good all-purpose pair of headphones that you can take everywhere? Or do you have a specific use in mind, such as travel, workouts, TV watching, office use, or gaming? Some headphones do everything well, while others excel at a certain task. Are you mostly listening to music, or do you need good microphone quality for phone calls and video chats? For office use and gaming, a headset with a boom mic might be the way to go. Do you need your headphones to be waterproof or sweatproof for workouts?
Do you want active noise cancellation? Active noise cancellation is great for reducing lower-frequency sounds like the hum of an airplane engine or an HVAC system, but it isn’t as effective with higher-frequency sounds like voices. How effective and adjustable do you need the ANC to be? Some headphones offer just on/off, while others offer adjustable ANC that makes it easier for you to find a performance and comfort level that works. If you don’t like how ANC affects your ears at all, an over-ear pair with excellent passive noise isolation may be a better choice.
How long is the battery life? Are you good about keeping your wireless devices charged, or do you need wireless headphones that can go for long stretches of time without being plugged in? Be honest with yourself on this one, or you’ll just be frustrated later.
Do you prefer an over- or on-ear design? Comfort is a crucial element of overall headphone enjoyment. Larger, over-ear designs generally cause less pressure on your ears and block sounds more effectively, but a smaller, on-ear design may be better for people who wear glasses. If you’re shopping for more audiophile-oriented headphones, you should also decide between closed-back headphones, which block out noise, and open-back designs, which can deliver a more spacious, airy sound.
What (and how intuitive) are the control options? When it comes to controlling power, volume, track skip, and the like, do you prefer physical buttons or touch-sensitive pads? We recommend that you try both kinds of controls before you buy, if possible. How important is voice control, and are you tied to a certain platform, such as Alexa, Siri, or Google Assistant?
Best all-purpose wireless headphones
Our pick
Jabra Elite 85h
The Elite 85h over-ear headphones do nearly everything better than similarly priced competitors.
Who this is for: The Jabra Elite 85h has an intuitive design with a comfortable fit and great battery life, making it an excellent choice when you want a convenient and long-lasting wireless listening experience.
Why we like it: The Jabra Elite 85h Bluetooth headphones sound fantastic out of the box, and you can use the free Jabra Sound+ app to adjust the EQ to your personal taste. The battery life is 36 hours (with active noise cancellation engaged), and the headphones charge quickly, providing five hours of use after only 15 minutes of plug-in time.
The 85h works with the Apple, Google, and Amazon digital assistants, and the microphone quality is super clear for phone calls. Whereas other Bluetooth headphones can have confusing and fiddly buttons that often cause you to trigger the wrong task, the 85h has straightforward controls and a painless pairing process across all device platforms.
The active noise cancellation is mild, dimming low-frequency noises but not completely eliminating them. However, if you find intense ANC to be uncomfortable (we call this phenomenon “eardrum suck”), you might see this milder ANC as a good thing.
Photo: Michael Murtaugh
Flaws but not dealbreakers: As mentioned earlier, the active noise cancellation does reduce some lower frequencies a tad, but it isn’t nearly as effective as what you get from the Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700. This fact kept the 85h from being our noise-cancelling pick. But not everyone prioritizes active noise cancellation (or even enjoys it), and we liked every other aspect of the Jabra Elite 85h so much that we were able to let this flaw slide.
Battery life: 36 hours Warranty: two years Protected against: light rain and dust
Best wireless noise-cancelling headphones
Our pick
Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700
The Bose 700 over-ear headphones deliver excellent noise cancellation in a comfortable, lightweight design that’s traveler friendly—but they carry a high price.
Who this is for: This set is great for frequent flyers or commuters on public transit who need strong (but adjustable) noise cancellation and prefer an over-ear design to earbuds.
Why we like it: The Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 is the best pair of headphones that Bose has ever released. These headphones are expensive, but we think they’re worth the cost if you put a high premium on performance and comfort.
They offer the superior noise cancellation that Bose is known for, plus more adjustability than on any noise-cancelling headphones we’ve tested. You can adjust the active noise cancellation (ANC) level on a scale from 0 to 10, so if you find that you are experiencing the uncomfortable “eardrum suck” issue—or if you just want a little more sense of your surroundings—you have more flexibility to find a level that works for you.
These headphones also have a lightweight design that is comfortable to wear for hours, and they feature an easy-to-use combination of touch controls and physical buttons that you can access without looking.
Photo: Rozette Rago
Flaws but not dealbreakers: The sound quality is good but not as crisp as on the best over-ear headphones we’ve tested, and the app can be vexing. The battery life isn’t industry-leading, but at 20 hours it’s more than sufficient.
Battery life: 20 hours Warranty: one year
Best wireless over-ear headphones for the office
Our pick
Sony WH-1000XM4
This feature-packed pair significantly reduces the noise of voices around you and can sound fantastic. But these headphones are pricey and require a good deal of setup.
Who this is for: The Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones are worth considering if you work in an open office (or a crowded home office), because they are great at blocking out voices around you.
Why we like it: We love the Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones for their comfortable fit, solid noise reduction, clear microphone sound quality, and handy add-ons, such as the voice-activated awareness mode.
Although the active noise cancellation on the Bose 700 performs better on lower-pitched, sustained sounds like airplane noise, the Sony WH-1000XM4 has superior isolation—which is more effective at blocking higher-pitched and quick sounds like barking dogs, coffee-shop noises, and the human voice.
These over-ear headphones are also comfortable enough to wear all day, and the microphones are effective at reducing background noise during phone calls and video meetings.
We also like the newer Sony WH-1000XM5, which offers slightly improved active noise cancellation and sounds a little better right out of the box. The XM5 has larger earcups and a longer headband, which may be good for some people and bad for others depending on their head and ear size. The XM5 model generally sells for $50 more than the XM4.
Photo: Michael Murtaugh
Flaws but not dealbreakers: Out of the box, this pair’s tuning isn’t ideal, but these headphones can sound amazing with some effort put into adjusting the equalizer settings in the app. As mentioned above, the active noise cancellation isn’t quite as effective as on our top ANC picks for airplane use. Although the XM4 can handle a light spritzing rain, it isn’t built for water resistance.
Finally, Sony claims a battery life of 30 to 38 hours max. However, in our testing, we were able to eke out only 26 hours of playtime with ANC on (24 hours when we took brief calls). That’s still better-than-average performance, especially when the quick-charge feature gets you three to five hours of use from a 10-minute charge.
Battery life: 24 to 26 hours Warranty: one year
Best gaming headset
Our pick
HyperX Cloud Alpha
This headset offers the best sound quality, comfort for long gaming sessions, and a choice of earpads, as well as better build quality and durability.
Who this is for: If you’re a gaming enthusiast, you need headphones that sound good, fit comfortably for long game sessions, and have a clear microphone for chatting with teammates or opponents.
Why we like it: The HyperX Cloud Alpha offers the best mix of audio performance and comfort for the money. It’s beautifully built and impressively comfortable—you can wear it for hours on end without cranial distress.
The sound quality holds up against that of some of the best dedicated headphones in its price range. It also has great bass that doesn’t drown out the other sounds while you’re playing games.
Photo: Rozette Rago
Flaws but not dealbreakers: The microphone is mediocre and can sometimes make your voice sound nasally. It’s also quite bulky, but that’s not unexpected for a gaming headset.
Compatibility: PC, Xbox One (adapter, sold separately, required for Xbox One controllers with no 3.5 mm port), Xbox One S, PlayStation 4, PS4 Pro, Mac, mobile (compatible with devices with CTIA standard connectors), and VR (compatible with virtual reality systems with a 3. 5 mm port)
Best wireless over-ear TV headphones
Our pick
Insignia NS-HAWHP2
The NS-HAWHP2 over-ear headphones are comfortable, with solid sound and no audio lag. The transmitter doubles as a charging base for the headphones, but the system supports only a single pair of headphones.
Buying Options
Buy from Amazon
*At the time of publishing, the price was $130.
Who this is for: This wireless headphone system is for anyone who wants to watch TV or play video games without disturbing others in their household or who needs to listen at a higher volume to hear dialogue properly.
Why we like it: The easy-to-use Insignia NS-HAWHP2 system sounds good and delivers a comfortable fit so you can enjoy marathon binge-watching and gaming sessions. The package includes a single pair of headphones and a wireless transmitter that doubles as a docking station for storing and charging the headphones when you aren’t using them.
Insignia promises 10 hours of battery life, but we got more than 11 hours on a charge, so you could easily binge an entire eight-episode season of Stranger Things in one sitting. The NS-HAWHP2 uses radio frequency (RF) wireless transmission, and in our tests we didn’t notice significant lag between the audio and video, which can be a problem for Bluetooth-based systems.
These headphones delivered the most consistent, balanced sound in our recent tests, and they were also lighter and more comfortable than many competitors.
Photo: Sarah Kobos
Flaws but not dealbreakers: The main downside is that the Insignia system comes with only one pair of headphones, and you can’t add more. If you need multiple pairs of headphones, consider our also-great pick, the Power Acoustik HP-902RFT.
These comfortable, exciting-sounding planar-magnetic headphones are difficult to beat, especially at this price.
Buying Options
$155* from Amazon
*At the time of publishing, the price was $200.
Who these are for: This type of headphone is for music connoisseurs who want better performance than standard cans, but not something so expensive or delicate that you’re afraid to take them with you to work or school.
Why we like it: The Monolith by Monoprice M565C headphones have an exciting, detailed sound, beating out pairs that cost hundreds more. Suitable for any genre of music, the planar-magnetic drivers are housed in isolating closed-back earcups, so that you can block out distractions and focus on enjoying your playlist.
They have a sturdy, comfortable build and replaceable cable, and Monoprice’s five-year warranty is about the longest of any headphones we’ve seen.
Photo: Kyle Fitzgerald
Flaws but not dealbreakers: For people who prefer to keep a lower profile when listening, these headphones may not be ideal (their look clearly says “not now, I’m busy”). Because they don’t fold up, and their hard-sided storage case is one of the largest we tested, they are far from being easily portable.
As for sound, the M565C model doesn’t deliver quite as much presence in the mids as we’d like in the ideal headphones, and some of our panelists would have preferred a little extra sparkle on the highs. Plus, the cable is a bit noisy if you move around a lot or wear a scratchy sweater.
Lastly, unlike some other headphones in this category, the M565C set doesn’t come with a cable that has a remote and mic option for mobile use.
Weight: 13.7 ounces Warranty: five years
Best wired headphones under $100
Our pick
Sony MDR-7506
The Sony MDR-7506, a longtime favorite of audio professionals, offers more reliability, more comfort, and better sound than many headphones twice its price.
Who this is for: Audio fans, musicians, and podcasters alike will find this headphone style practical because it sounds great and never needs to be charged.
Why we like it: The Sony MDR-7506 has been a longtime studio and live-audio staple. Not only does it provide accurate-sounding bass, mids, and treble, but it also gives you a better sense of the depth and dynamics of your music than many models twice the price. Durable, comfortable, and reliable, this pair usually costs under $100.
Photo: Rozette Rago
Flaws but not dealbreakers: The long, coiled cable is great for musicians and studio artists who need to move around, but it’s cumbersome for listening to music from your phone.
Accessories: storage bag, ¼-inch plug adapter Warranty: 90 days
Best over- and on-ear headphones for kids
Photo: Michael Hession
Who this is for: Kids headphones are sized for smaller heads (roughly, ages 2 to 12), and the best ones include a volume-limiting feature to protect the hearing safety of kiddos who listen via headphones frequently.
Why we like it: We recently expanded our coverage of kids headphones to offer a variety of over- and on-ear recommendations for different uses. We like the Puro BT2200 pair for everyday music and video listening, the PuroQuiet set for travel (thanks to its good active noise cancellation), the JLab JBuddies Play headphones for online schooling and gaming (with a built-in, extendable boom mic), and for value the Onanoff BuddyPhones Explore+ (for toddlers) and JLab JBuddies Studio Wireless (for kindergartners to tweens).
Best budget wireless headphones around $100
Our pick
Jabra Elite 45h
This on-ear pair sounds, fits, and functions like it costs more than $100. There’s no option to use these with a cord, but the ultra-long battery life means you won’t need to charge frequently.
Who this is for: If you’re looking for traditional wireless Bluetooth headphones and want good sound for the least amount of money.
Why we like it: The Jabra Elite 45h headphones pack incredible performance into an affordable package. This on-ear pair sounds fantastic, is lightweight and comfortable to wear for hours, and has controls that are easy to learn and use.
The microphones deliver stellar clarity for phone calls and video chats, and you get over 50 hours of listening time per full charge. One of our expert panelists remarked that the 45h’s audio quality rivaled that of $250 pairs he’d tried, and I agree.
For folks who wear glasses, the 45h’s on-ear design may fit more comfortably than over-ear headphones.
Photo: Michael Murtaugh
Flaws but not dealbreakers: This set lacks active noise cancellation and the ability to connect via a cord when the battery runs out, and the on-ear design won’t appeal to everyone.
Protected against: light rain and dust Battery life: 50 hours Warranty: two years against light water and dust damage, one year manufacturing defects
Best budget noise-cancelling headphones around $100
Our pick
1More SonoFlow
This affordable pair of over-ear, noise-cancelling headphones sounds great, feels comfortable, and has a long battery life.
Who this is for: If you spend a lot of time in environments with low-frequency, steady sounds like motor hums or plane-engine noise and want the best noise cancelling you can get for around $100, this pair is for you.
Why we like it: If you want a solid pair of wireless noise-cancellation headphones for around $100, we recommend the 1More SonoFlow. The noise cancellation is effective, though not as superb as that of the Bose NC 700.
The sound quality is solid out of the box and adjustable to your taste, and the design is lightweight, with foam earcups that are soft and comfortable. The five microphones ensure that your voice sounds clear over calls and video chats, and the dual-device connectivity lets you swap between your phone and laptop audio without touching the Bluetooth settings.
The 50-hour battery life with ANC on (70 hours with it off) is impressive for wireless headphones at any price.
Photo: Connie Park
Flaws but not dealbreakers: The earpads are not replaceable. This pair comes with a cable, so you can use it in wired mode when necessary—but the ANC does not work in wired mode, so if you’re on a plane that requires a wired connection to the in-flight entertainment system, you’ll either have to go without ANC or pick up a Bluetooth transmitter.
Battery life: 50 hours Warranty: one year

Best Over-Ear Headphones for 2023: Wired and Wireless Picks
While a lot of folks are gravitating toward compact true-wireless earbuds, full-size over-ear or “around-the-ear” headphones remain quite popular. Most of the over-ear headphones on this list are wireless Bluetooth headphones that feature active noise canceling (some but not all wireless headphones also come with a cable for wired listening), but I’ve also included a handful of wired-only over-ear headphones for the audio purists out there looking for great sound.
When selecting the best over-ear headphones for this list, I considered factors such as build quality, comfort and sound quality, as well as noise-canceling and voice-calling performance. This list is regularly updated as more over-ear headphones hit the market. Here’s what I added in my most recent update: the Sennheiser Momentum Wireless 4, Sennheiser 660S2, Sony CH-720N, 1More SonoFlow, Focal Bathys, Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2 and Master & Dynamic MW75.
What are the best over-ear headphones right now?
There’s a lot of debate around this question, and it’s hard to name one single model as the best overall over-ear headphone. But a few models do stand out a bit from the rest of the pack, including the Sony WH-1000XM5 and Apple’s AirPods Max (for iPhone users). For sound quality in a wireless over-ear headphone, the Focal Bathys are hard to beat, but they cost $799.

Best over-ear headphones of 2023
Is it ‘noise canceling’ or ‘noise cancelling’?
Short answer: both. Either spelling is correct, as “canceling” is more common in American English, while “cancelling” is more common in British English. CNET uses “noise canceling” since the company is based in the US, but the noise is canceled just the same, regardless of spelling. If you’re looking to see what different noise-impacting technology is out there for headphones, check out our article on noise-canceling versus noise-isolating headphones, which highlights differences in function (and not just a difference in spelling).

TOP 10 Best Big Headphones 2023
This ranking of large headphones includes interesting full-size headphones . Both large bluetooth headphones and good large wired headphones. These models are distinguished by wide and deep ear cushions, as well as a headband that is adjustable over a wide range. Headphones for big heads and ears. 😉
What is the correct name for the large headphones? Full size. Everything else – monitor, wraparound, big, huge headphones – these are not entirely accurate names. Overhead headphones, although they are large, are fundamentally different: they press their ears. And the ear cushions of full-size models cover the ears entirely and do not touch them.

👂 What are the best big headphones to buy?
Want to buy large wireless headphones? Or wired? To better understand the range, let’s go over the basic concepts. We will analyze some of the nuances below – after the models.
Full size . This is what you need if you want to buy wraparound headphones. The ears fit completely into the ear pads, do not press on the sides, do not rest against the protection of the emitter (fabric, mesh). The largest headphones of this type will fit any ear. But sometimes they look cumbersome on the head.
Overhead . They are also often considered when they want to buy large headphones. But here the ears are pressed against the ear pads, it tires faster. But on the head they look smaller than full-size ones.
Monitor . It is not synonymous with full size (large) headphones. These are models for monitoring. Most often these are good big headphones with a smooth sound and a comfortable fit. More for work than leisure.
The more – the more expensive? No, prices do not depend on size. You can buy large headphones for $20, or you can buy small vacuum ones for $1000.

💪 How to choose good big headphones
Maybe others are better?
Putting the question point-blank: covering or overhead – the former win in most cases. It is among full-size headphones that you can find many models with high-quality sound. And they are much more comfortable for long listening.
In good full-size headphones, neither the ear pads nor the driver protection (padding, mesh, etc.) touch the ear. However, everything also depends on the size of the ears, so there are exceptions. Some models have narrow ear cushions, for example, which “prop up” the ears on the sides. But just on the sides.
If your ears hurt from the large headphones, most likely the model is equipped with just narrow ear cushions. For some wraparound headphones (especially expensive and high-quality ones), you can find ear cushions of different sizes on sale (thicker or thinner walls, different upholstery, different filling). But, if there is no such option, most likely, you will have to change the headphones. You can pay attention to the “gags” and liners. They will definitely not put pressure on the ear.
There is, of course, a “secret” option. Sew ear pads to order according to the specified parameters. After all, usually, even if full-size headphones press their ears, then only a little bit around the edges. Make the walls of the ear pads thinner – and the problem is solved.
Full size headphones available with open or closed acoustic design . In the first case, they “play” to the outside almost as loudly as to the ears, but create a wider scene and realistic images. Closed large headphones provide good noise isolation (better, by the way, than overhead ones) and a more energetic sound. The bass is stronger, the stage is narrower.
Ear pads are most often of two types : leather (or leatherette of different quality) and velor (fabric). The first ones give the best sound insulation, but the ears “heat up” faster in them. After all, there is almost no ventilation: the material is dense, and the design is most often closed. Velor ear pads are more comfortable “over long distances”. They provide better ventilation, but naturally reduce sound insulation. Often found in open models. But not only, of course.
💸 How much do large wireless and wired headphones cost – is there a price dependence on the design?
If you are wondering which headphones are more expensive than , large or small, full-size or in-ear, then it is better not to “worry” on this matter. There is no direct dependence of the price on the design. There are also earplugs for $3000 and earplugs for $15. And vice versa. Applies to both wired and wireless models.
Just one point worth mentioning : there are only 2 types of audiophile headphones: in-ear and full-size. Large headphones provide the best acoustic performance, and earplugs are the best among small headphones. That is, when you start thinking about a model with high sound quality (and price, unfortunately, too), the choice will narrow down to these two form factors.

Today people are used to good sound. And we are talking not only about music (although you can’t do without it) – sound is also important for lectures, audio books, business negotiations, calls for work. Listening to audio programs and business communication is not limited to apartments and offices, people listen and communicate while traveling in transport, walking – and anywhere.
Quality sound requires good equipment. Over-ear headphones are a very popular option. Their peculiarity lies in the fact that their ear pads – a removable part that is in direct contact with the ears – are superimposed on the ears, covering them completely or partially, and they are held on the head by a special arc.
As with any technique, on-ear headphones have their pros and cons. The pluses include high-quality sound, achieved due to the impressive frequency range and large speaker volumes. These headphones usually last a long time. They look stylish.
At the same time, you can’t put on-ear headphones in your pocket, they are uncomfortable to wear, they are heavier than usual ones. Also, such models are discharged faster, especially if you activate any functions, for example, the noise reduction system.
On-ear headphones are considered less hazardous to hearing than, for example, vacuum headphones. In particular, it is these that are recommended for children to buy. But in any case, you need to monitor the maximum volume. You also need to remember that listening to music in such headphones on the street should be done with the utmost care.

How to choose on-ear headphones
How to choose the best on-ear headphones in 2023, Komsomolskaya Pravda was told by Canyon Brand Development Director Dmitry Romanenko .
The parameters by which users choose on-ear headphones are always individual, it all depends on what the person needs. Most often, people look at their cost, sound quality, reliability, or convenient form factor.
Be sure to check the specifications before buying. Sensitivity, resistance – impedance, frequency range and other parameters help determine the purpose of the headphones. It is by studying these nuances that you can choose a model with surround sound for what you are looking for – games, office work, music, and so on.
Pay attention to the type of connection – wired or wireless. The first do not need constant charging. The second – do not limit you in movement. There are combined options. Do not forget the format of the model – classic overhead or clip-on earrings, which are separately applied to each ear using a special attachment. You need to choose the headphones that will be most comfortable for you.
Also remember about the frequency range, which directly affects the volume.
The cookie test results were almost perfectly uniform.
The AER6303MFS may lack advanced cooking features like convection or true convection but the oven, while basic, does succeed at the simple tasks of baking and roasting. The range excelled in all three of our oven tests.
First, we baked a batch of cookies using the standard bake setting. Compared to one another, the resulting cookies were almost perfectly uniform. We did notice that the bottoms were darker than the tops, but this is standard with conventional ovens and can be mitigated by using a light-colored cookie sheet when cooking delicate items.
In addition to the batch of cookies, we roasted a pork loin and baked a pizza using the oven. The pizza was cooked through, although the crust was lighter than expected, so it might be worth a minute or two more beyond your usual timings with this range. Finally, the pork, while slightly pink in places, was cooked relatively evenly.
Controls are simple and easy to read

The oven control panel has a simple but effective layout.
While the Amana AER6303MFS has a limited set of features, this doesn’t negatively affect its overall usability. In fact, the range has a few simple touches that make it a good option for anyone who values simplicity and ease of use.
The oven control panel itself has a simple and effective layout with large buttons that have easy-to-read fonts.
The range also has a set of Bake Assist Temps, a trio of controls that can set the oven at commonly used temperatures. It’s helpful, particularly, if you stick to a set of favored dishes or recipes.
What we don’t like
There’s no self-clean mode

Amana / Reviewed
You’ll have to constantly spot-clean this rangetop.
Any large appliance purchase involves a certain degree of compromise, and this is especially true in the case of budget appliances. While we weren’t expecting smart tech and air fryer modes in a sub-$900 range, we were disappointed at the AER6303MFS lack of self-cleaning mode. Its omission is particularly perplexing as it’s pretty much a standard feature in almost all similarly priced ranges.
While it may take awhile, a self-clean mode allows you to remove any encrusted dirt on the oven’s interior without lifting a finger. The Amana AER6303MFS lacks this basic feature, so keeping the range dirt-free requires either constant spot cleaning or a lot of elbow grease when it gets soiled.

Warranty
The Amana AER6303MFS has a limited one-year warranty, including parts and labor. This type of warranty is standard for a range.
What owners are saying
The Amana AER6303MFS has an average 4.4-star user rating out of 5 across three major retailers. Users like how easy it is to clean the glass rangetop and its simple aesthetic. The vast majority of reviews are positive, but the few negative reviews take issue with the lack of features and overall reliability of the burners.

Expect a standard, basic oven that can handle baking and roasting.
The Amana AER6303MFS is available for a low price, and the oven impresses with its even baking and effective roasting. However, the range lacks features that we consider absolutely essential, including a dedicated self-clean option, which means owners will spend more time maintaining or deep cleaning this range than necessary.
If you’re looking for an affordable electric range, the Samsung NE63A6511SS is a feature-packed range available at a similar price.
