Playbulb's LED String lights give you smart functionality via a Bluetooth connection; you can turn them on or off with your smartphone, adjust colour to dozens of different subtler hues, you can set timers, or use a handful of special effects, all automatically.

Nintendo Sound Clock Alarmo is a playful alarm clock with Mario, Zelda, and Pikmin sounds that makes getting up easier.

Any flat white surface can become a projector screen. The BenQ 1080p portable projector (GS50) is designed for indoor and outdoor use.

The Sony MDR-HW300K Wireless Headphone System transmits uncompressed audio between the base station (TMR-HW300) and the headphones (MDR-HW300). These are not bluetooth headphones, so putting them up to products in that category is not an apples-to-apples comparison.   A nice little package that sets up seamlessly and will get you enjoying wireless audio quickly. Although I wouldn’t recommend these headphones for critical listening applications, they could be just the ticket when you need that home theater punch without bothering the neighbours.

 If a router could be designated as a tank, the Linksys AC5400 might be it. While already large in physical stature, it’s the power under the hood that makes this unit as robust as it is, even if a good deal of what’s in there can’t be utilized by most devices yet. In many ways, this is a router that is built more for the next year or two than it is for the here and now, and if that appeals to you, the AC5400 is worth a look.

House of the Dead Remake is a remake of the 1996 arcade with modern graphics and controls. Available now on PS4, Xbox, Switch, Stadia and PC.
