Amazon still sells counterfeit goods despite efforts to clean up

Image
  Amazon still sells plenty of counterfeit goods even though it’s tried to crack down on fake sellers for years, according to The Guardian . By ordering goods that were listed as legitimate on Amazon, the report uncovered a number of fake items sold by third-party sellers, including a pair of knockoff AirPods that were supposed to be from Apple, used iPhone chargers that were sold as new, counterfeit Kylie Jenner lip gloss, and a fake Supreme x Louis Vuitton iPhone case. In some cases, Amazon even helped ship counterfeit goods directly to customers, through the Fulfilled by Amazon service. The fake AirPods, for example, were shipped to Amazon and sold with Amazon Prime delivery and drivers. The imitation goods were sold through Amazon’s Marketplace, which accounted for nearly 20 percent of the company’s total revenue in Q1 this year, according to earnings results released last week. After The Guard...

Air by Crazybaby True Wireless Earbuds review

Image
Our Verdict The Crazybaby Air are simply too buggy to recommend. The poor Bluetooth connection, terrible battery life, and usability quirks make the Air a truly frustrating true wireless headphone to use. We loved the design and comfort ... but they’re not enough to make up for an under baked product. For Creative design Comfortable Against Poor connection for right earbud Terrible battery life Sound is too soft and bass heavy Bad call quality It’s increasingly difficult to stand out in a sea of truly wireless headphones . Just about every audio manufacturer has gotten into the true wireless headphone game, which is only making it harder and harder for consumers to choose. So how do you stand out in a crowded market? For Crazybaby, the answer is design.  The Air look like truly wireless earphones that Apple could have made. Their design is creative, and polished with an aluminium pill-shaped charging case and smooth white ...

Huawei Watch 2 review

Image
Our Verdict Huawei tries to cover all use cases with the Watch 2, and while it hits most of them, it doesn't do it in a way which is overly user-friendly. If anything, it strengthens the case for specialized smartwatches, rather than a one-device-fits-all approach. For Built-in GPS and NFC Optional 4G model Feature-packed smartwatch Against Screen a little too small Performance can be sluggish Design less premium than predecessor Huawei Watch 2 deals Compare Deals Amazon Deals eBay Deals $220 View $228 View $264.98 View $509 View We check over 130 million products every day for the best prices View All Deals powered by Update: Android Wear has now been renamed Wear OS and if you pick up a Huawei Watch 2 you'll find the new branding is all over the watch when you turn it on.  Smartwatches need more ...

Hitachi 75HL16T64U review

Image
Our Verdict There are no words for how much we wanted to love the 75HL16T64U. After all, being able to get a truly home cinema-sized TV for just £1,300 sounds like a dream come true. Unfortunately, though, as with so many budget home cinema dreams, the 75HL16T64U is ultimately undone by the challenges posed by high dynamic range technology. For Incredible price Very sharp 4K pictures Passable smart features Its screen is huge Against Doesn’t really do HDR Unimpressive black levels Rather basic design Backlight clouding The first thing to say is that Hitachi isn’t strictly speaking Hitachi anymore. For while it’s possible Hitachi engineers have had some sort of say in the 75HL16T64U, it’s clear from its onscreen menus and remote control that it’s really emerged from the factories of Turkish manufacturer Vestel. That, in many ways, acts as a preface for this review: When it comes to TVs, deals that seem too good to be true usually a...

Categories: Comparisons Tags: GoPro HERO (2018) , GoPro HERO5 Black Last updated about 3 days ago // Originally published about 4 days ago GoPro has now released a new camera called the HERO, bringing the current lineup to five cameras and continuing a confusing naming system. Because this isn’t the first time there’s been a GoPro HERO. There was an earlier one released in 2014. And well before that, there was the HD HERO and another HERO that’s now usually referred to as the Standard Def. HERO. And let’s not forget the HERO+ and the HERO+ LCD. With all of those HEROs, you’ll often see the newest version called the HERO (2018) to make it clear which version is being referred to, and that’s the model I’m focusing on here.
