Final Thoughts

The first thing you notice when you open the box is the carry case. It is very solid and will protect the headphones even if you drop it or knock it against something. Including a hard shell case is so much better than putting a carry pouch which seems to be fairly normal with headphones these days, and considering the low price of these headphones I was pleasantly surprised to see one included.

The headset itself is lightweight and folds up to make it easier to carry, and they lock into place when you are ready to use them. It has a battery compartment next to the audio cable port. The battery is used for the active noise cancelling (which I will come onto in a moment) and a pair of AAA batteries will last you around 20 hours, so more than enough for a long flight. If the batteries run out then all you lose is the active noise cancelling.

The headset is comfortable to wear, even for long periods of time with a fair amount of movement of the earpieces, and they look good too!

There is a selector switch that enables you to choose between OFF (which provides a passive mode without any amplification), ANC (which is active noise cancelling, which provides up to 15dB of noise cancelling) and Bass (which delivers increased bass performance). You can tell which setting you are on by the different colours that are displayed (as well as looking at the switch itself).

The active noise cancelling works by utilising four separate microphones which remove up to 95% of external noise, and I have to say they work very well, even in very loud environments.

The bass boost uses an integrated 5 watt amplifier to deliver an additional 10dB of bass if you like your music with that little bit extra bass. Personally I preferred to have ANC mode on all the time, after all, they are noise cancelling headphones, so why not use them for it? If you are in a quiet place then bass boost does work well.

The sound quality on these headphones is very good no matter which of the three modes you select with music and dialogue (if you are watching a movie) coming over very clear and crisp.

If you are looking for some very good active noise cancelling headphones that won’t break the bank you should really take a look, and a listen to these. They also come with a two year guarantee.

The Lindy CROMO NCX-100 headphones retail for £99.98.

Christmas Tech Ideas : Griffin PowerJolt SE Car Charger

On the run up to Christmas, we are going to highlight a few things you might want to consider for presents. Here is the Griffin PowerJolt SE Car Charger.

CDW Review - Griffin Power Jolt SE Car Charger - 1

A durable captive coiled cable, with Apple’s Lightning connector, easily reaches to 36 inches (a generous 91 cm). Plugs are shaped with a slight flare to make them easy to grip, yet still able to fit in even the most restrictive of ruggedized cases, including Griffin’s own Survivor cases.

Features

  • Coiled cable stretches to 36″ (91 cm)
  • For automotive accessory outlets: 12 – 16 V DC
  • Power provided to device: 12 W (5 V @ 2.4 A)
  • Enhanced strain relief for longer cable life
  • Engineered for max rate charging of your iPad, iPhone, or iPod

CDW Review - Griffin Power Jolt SE Car Charger -

If you travel by car and you have any Apple device such as an iPhone, iPod or iPad then you will most likely need some power. You could take a battery pack with you to charge up the device or you could get yourself the Griffin PowerJolt SE Car Charger. It plugs into your cars cigarette lighter (are they still called that) and then connects to your device. Charging is quick and easy and you shouldn’t be without power again.

And at around £15 this makes it a fairly inexpensive, but very useful Christmas present for someone, or even yourself.

Review: Turtle Beach Star Wars Battlefront X-Wing Pilot Gaming Headset

Turtle Beach have released the Star Wars Battlefront X-Wing Pilot Gaming Headset and here is our review:

SWBHS main

This is how Turtle Beach describe the Headset:

May the Force be with you!

SWBHS 2
SWBHS 3
SWBHS 4

Final Thoughts

Turtle Beach has released two Star Wars Battlefront gaming headsets to celebrate the release of the game and the build up to the release of Episode VII: The Force Awakens film. With every fan of Star Wars already hyped up for both, the visual styling of this headset is bound to bring smiles to any gamer who has dreamed of being a Rebel Pilot.

Like its sister , The Sandtrooper headset, it captures the look and feel of Star Wars brilliantly using the bright colours of an X-Wing Pilots uniform of orange and white and the ear cups have the X-Wing Squadron logo on the outside with more markings on the main band adding to the visual impact.

I found the headset to be very comfortable to wear for extended periods of game time with little heat build up, thanks to the lightweight design. The main and keeps a nice firm position of the headset without feeling too tight.

Sound quality is great for what is a mid range gaming headset, with the volume control on the cable allows quick access to lower or raise game volume and with a switch to mute the mic. Wearing it whilst enjoying Battlefront really brought the games audio to life with blaster fire and explosions bursting all around. It was impressive to use with the ‘Fighter Squadron’ game mode to hear the foils raise on my X-Wing to that iconic whine of a Tie Fighters engine. Every game I tested wearing the headset sounded great on both PS4 and Xbox One Consoles.

The mic boom is crisp and clear with friends commentating on that fact during party chat, team talk and even when used during various Twitch streaming sessions. It is flexible enough to be positioned how you like and can be easily removed if to use for just listening to music or other media types with the headset.

The Star Wars Battlefront X-Wing Pilot Gaming Headset is available for £34.99 and is superb value for money as a midrange headset that performs equally well on multiple platforms. Any Star Wars fan will love the visuals and decals but its performance is worthy of the purchase. Trust your feelings, the Force is strong with this one!

Review: Downtime DVD

One of the great aspects to being a Doctor Who fan, is being able to look back through over 50 years of the shows history and discover new experiences. This particular one comes the 1995 straight to video spin-off story ‘Downtime’ which actually serves as a sequel of sorts to earlier episodes ‘ The Abominable Snowmen’ and ‘The Web of Fear’ and features the iconic characters Sarah Jane Smith played by Elisabeth Sladen, Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart played by Nicholas Courtney. Directed by veteran Doctor Who director Christopher Barry, what makes this particular story so special is that it is an unofficial Doctor Who tale, which the BBC did not permit to use the character of The Doctor and was not even allowed to mention him during the story!

Downtime at its core is a Brigadier story but bridges other episodes and characters well known to Doctor Who. Former companion Victoria Water field, played by Deborah Wattling, is lured back to the Detsen Monastery in Tibet which was first visited in ‘The Abominable Snowmen’ in the hopes of finding her late father. But instead discovers The Great Intelligence still possessing the mind of Professor Travis last seen in ‘The Web of Fear’, who promises to give ‘The Light of Truth’ if Victoria helps to work with it to release him.

Fifteen years later and the story shows that Victoria has been very busy, setting up the New World Institution, a puniversity with the promise of spiritual guidance to the students. In reality the institution is the means by which The Great Intelligence plans to take over the world by infecting the world’s computer systems like a virus and controlling the minds of mankind. An artifact is needed to unlock its true power and believes it is in the hands of The Brigadier, now retired from U.N.I.T. and the institute hires Sarah Jane Smith to investigate and locate both The Brigadier and the artifact.

Downtime 2

This DVD release really is a great look at what could be considered ‘Classic Who’ even without The Doctor starring in the story. To see such iconic characters all feature in their own story is rather exciting as a long term fan of the show and to see so many episode storylines all tied together so elegantly is a great example of why the show has survived for over 50 years. Taking the Doctor out of the spotlight allows for a different kind of Doctor Who story to be told but it still retains all the attributes of not only what makes a great Doctor Who story but of the very different style of classic and modern Who.

Comparing the current high budget special effects and slick production of Doctor Who to twenty years ago serves to show just how far the show has come. From start to finish of Downtime I had a big smile on my face watching the performances of Elisabeth Sladen and Nicholas Courtney who both sadly passed away in 2011. It is rather charming to see how they both captured the screen when on camera, especially when in scenes with some rather cliché ham acting from the rest of the cast at times.

Of course after twenty years it does all look rather dated and at just over an hour long, manages to fit a staggering amount of storytelling in. The storyline of using the internet to take over the minds of people has been used since as the first adventure together of Matt Smith’s Doctor and Clara Oswald with once again The Great Intelligence in ‘The Bells of St Johns’ in 2013. You may also see the possible inspiration for Captain Jack’s military coat with the styling for the character Harrods. Downtime really is a look back at a very different era of Doctor Who but is a really fun and interesting watch.

Downtime 2

The highlight of this DVD really is the bonus disc with behind the scenes features  ‘Behind the Lens’ and a look at the post-production of Downtime. In what felt like a early precursor to ‘Doctor Who Confidential’, getting to see the actors as they prepared for scenes and to see the Director Christopher Barry at work was a real treat to watch. To see how filming was affected by snow conditions and how location shooting was done was interesting to see from a very different age of TV even though only twenty years ago. I had a real fanboy moment to disvover that a trusty Amiga was used to produce the onscreen computer visuals used in scenes. It would be great to compare it to a recent behind the scenes look at how Doctor Who is filmed today.

The post production feature is short but a great look at how visual effects were created before CGI was a natural part of the show. Despite it being an unofficial story and the restriction imposed by the BBC, was curious to see that it was still the BBC Effects team that worked on production as well as the final cut being made broadcast ready at the BBC.

Overall this is a great watch for any generation of Doctor Who fan. The nostalgia of seeing huge grey PC set ups and everyone using Walkmans was a nice throwback to the 90s and the bonus disc with the making of features rounds it off nicely. Of course as a Doctor Who fan, getting to see both Elisabeth Sladen and Nicholas Courtney in their iconic roles together on screen is a real joy. Seeing how different characters were brought together for this story shows how well Christopher Barry knew the Doctor Who universe. It continues into modern Who as the character of the Brigadier’s daughter Kate has returned to the current run of Doctor Who.

It certainly has a place in any Doctor Who collection and a superb look at a very different era. Downtime is available from Amazon UK for £9.99
