Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 2
In partnership with Sennheiser
There is nothing better than clean, crisp audio in the palm of your hand, especially when it comes by way of audio legends Sennheiser. Firing on all fronts, the MOMENTUM True Wireless 2 earbuds deliver deep bass, natural mids and clear, detailed treble, thanks to the bespoke 7 mm dynamic drivers. Better yet, the Active Noise Cancellation feature lets you switch off your surroundings and dive into that song, podcast or work call with ease, with the passive noise isolation opening high-fidelity sound even in noisy environments.
For those who like to keep the party going, however, the buds have a 7-hour battery life that can be extended up to 28 hours with the charging case. Best of all, you can define your touch controls and adapt your sound experience through the Smart Control App. Tap into the dashboard and fine-tune your listening style using the equalizer presets and get tailor-made sound on demand. Want to change things up? Tap the touchpad to control volume, music and calls, while easily activating Google Assistant and Apple Siri. If you take your audio seriously, these earbuds are a no-brainer.
SteelSeries Apex Pro
In partnership with Steel Series
PC gaming has come a long way since the early WASD control days and the SteelSeries Apex Pro is living proof. The first-of-its-kind mechanical keyboard doesn’t just look out of this world, it lives up to the moniker. Designed with the modern gamer in mind, the Series 5000 Aircraft-grade aluminium frame houses 10-point adjustable omni-point switches for customisable per-key sensitivity. That means each key can be adjusted to meet your preferred sensitivity level, whether it’s for gaming, work, or anything else.
From there, players can enjoy eight-times faster response, five-times faster actuation and double the durability compared to conventional mechanical keyboards, something you check in on as you go, thanks to the integrated command centre. This OLED Smart Display showcases everything you need to adjust settings, change profiles, and cop on-the-fly updates. No more tabbing out, just let your keyboard show you the important details. As with all SteelSeries pieces, the Apex Pro Mechanical Keyboard is privy to some serious aftermarket upgrades. Customise your set-up with millions of colour options and reactive typing effects and get the most of gaming this Christmas.
