Smart #3 Brabus: A Stylish EV with Mercedes DNA
Thinking of buying a Smart electric vehicle? You’ve had that option for years with the iconic Smart ForTwo. But the Smart #3 takes a different path. This SUV coupé is designed for those who want a sporty electric ride with a bold, crossover look. We spent two weeks testing the Smart #3 Brabus, turning heads wherever we went. As the top model in the lineup, it packs surprising power for its size—but it’s not all smooth sailing, as we discovered some downsides along the way.

iPhone 16e Review: Worth the Price or Too Many Compromises?
The iPhone 16e is Apple’s latest attempt to offer iPhone 16 technology at a more affordable price. With the powerful A18 chip, an improved battery and Apple Intelligence, the device is aimed at anyone looking for a modern iPhone experience without having to pay the full price of the Pro models. But what exactly are the strengths and weaknesses of the iPhone 16e? Is it perhaps just a compromise that is better not to make? In this test, we take a detailed look at the new smallest iPhone.

We Tested the Ecovacs X8 Pro Omni—Here’s Where It Crushes Roborock
Ecovacs is stepping up its game with the Deebot X8 Pro Omni. Square designs are a thing of the past—this model is round and, like its predecessors, skips the bulky navigation tower. The real game-changer? Its new mopping function, which works much like a cordless vacuum cleaner. In this review, we put it to the test and reveal why Ecovacs is catching up to Roborock faster than ever.

Volvo EX40 Review: Comfortable Electric SUV With a Major Caveat
Are you ready for the all-electric Volvo EX40? This is an SUV that is as expressive as it is versatile. Although Volvo has come under the Chinese manufacturer Geely for several years now, the development of this electric car took place in Sweden. We put this electric car through its paces for two weeks in a comprehensive review and discovered many positive aspects. However, this whirlwind romance did not conclude on an entirely positive note. The reason behind it? The SUV made an uncharacteristic mistake on the highway.

Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 Review: The AirPods Pro Killer for Sports?
The Powerbeats Pro 2 comes across as highly recommended, especially for active people or athletes who like to listen to music while training. The ultra-secure fit combined with excellent sound quality and long battery life makes it the perfect training companion. Its Active Noise Cancellation performance is solid but not as good as cans that cover both ears, while the transparency mode could do with some fine-tuning. The built-in heart rate monitor is a real advantage–so if you’re looking for training and performance, this pair is the perfect fit for you. By the way, while the Powerbeats Pro 2 is primarily optimized for Apple devices, Android users won’t miss out. I’ll talk more about this below.

Redmi Buds 6 Pro Review: An Oddity from Xiaomi
The Redmi Buds 6 Pro do what Xiaomi does best: tick all the right boxes. LDAC codec? Check. Spatial audio with head tracking? Check. Very good Active Noise Cancellation? Check. For less than $80 a pop, we have technical specifications worthy of top-of-the-range headphones, which are normally sold for between $200 and $300. What about in real-life, everyday use? I will share all about it with you in this full Redmi Buds 6 Pro review.

OnePlus Buds Pro 3 Review: Surprisingly Good Audio Quality
It may not seem likely but OnePlus is one of the best manufacturers of (consumer-level) wireless headphones. The OnePlus Buds Pro 3 confirmed this. For $179.99 a pop, you get a pair of wireless earbuds with an ultra-premium design and leather finish, very good Hi-Res-certified audio quality with LHDC codec, and lots of features. In this OnePlus Buds Pro 3 review, you will see various reasons why anyone should be interested in OnePlus if they’re looking for a good pair of wireless earbuds with Active Noise Cancellation.
