As a gamer for many years, I’ve always taken the console route. At 40, I’ve never owned my own PC! Shocking, I know! Gaming on a PC never even occurred to me until I started watching more people on YouTube and Twitch and even then, I felt safe and knowledgeable in my little console bubble….

Wireless Headphones: M4U 8
PSB M4U 8 The catchily named M4U 8’s are the newest noise-cancelling headphones from Canadian manufacturer PSB and follow the well-received M4U 1 and M4U 2 models. Unlike previous iterations, these are wireless, connecting to devices over standard Bluetooth or the new fangled aptX. The M4Us aren’t going win awards for visual appeal, but they…
Women in Tech – Battling the Bias
The ‘ick’ I’ve been running Girls ‘n Gadgets for over nine years now. I’ve always aimed to be a voice within women in tech and make tech fun and understandable. However, it never fails to amaze me how gender biased and narrow minded technology companies and their PR’s can be. Nine years ago, I guess…
How to find your android when your phone is off or out of power
So, I have spent the last 2 months searching frantically for my nearly new Honor 9. It was only a few months old and I had become *really* attached to it. The last I remembered, I had given it to my 6 year old son to ‘keep him quiet’ whilst I got on with chores,…

Focal Sphear Review
Earphones and headphones are an essential bit of tech these days. Most people will have a pair or two stashed in their bags, coats or pockets, but are people getting complacent over what they buy? There are so many on the market and sometimes it can be difficult to know where to start but we…
Snakehive – Luxury cases at affordable prices
I love a good leather case and when I was offered to review the Snakehive cases, I was really keen. I was completely spoilt for choice and in the end I settled on a beautiful ruby red wallet case. Wallet cases aren’t my usual choice, but I wanted to try something different, for a change. Now, it’s…
B&O Beoplay A1 Review – The little, BIG speaker!
We are very much a music loving household. I’ve had so many speakers in the past and have been quite underwhelmed, so hopefully I can be forgiven for not being as excited about the Beoplay A1 Speaker as I should have been. It comes in a simple, but attractive box. The speaker itself has a matt silver aluminium front…
