Neowin: Three headphones, three price brackets - Fosi i5, HiFiMAN HE1000se, Audeze LCD-5
It started with the Sennheiser HD650, a headphone that I owned for around twelve years. Throughout that ownership, I bought, returned and sold countless other headphones, yet I kept returning to the HD650. What I realised through this journey is that I became acclimated to a certain type of sound signature, and whilst technically better and more expensive headphones sounded fine, it wasn't /the/ sound that I had a preference for. The kicker here is that this preference can change over time as our musical tastes evolve, and our ears hear things differently as we age, too.

ThinkComputers: KLEVV CRAS V RGB DDR5-6000 32GB Memory Kit Review
Earlier this year I had the chance to take a look at my first product from KLEVV, which was their URBANE V RGB DDR5-7600 32GB Memory Kit. I liked that memory kit quite a lot so I was delighted when they offered to send over their CRAS V RGB DDR5 memory. Compared to the URBANE, the CRAS has a more industrial design which I actually prefer. The memory is available in white or black colorways and of course we have RGB. Today we are going to be taking a look at the KD5AGUA80-60B280G kit which is a 32GB (2x 16GB) kit that runs at 6000 MHz with timings of 28-36-36-76 at 1.4V. Let’s take a look and see what this memory is all about!

eTeknix: ASUS ROG STRIX B850-A GAMING WIFI Review
When ASUS launches a new ROG STRIX board, it's usually clear what they're aiming for: a blend of high-end performance, a distinct gamer design, and a strong feature set that sits just below their absolute top-tier Crosshair series. The new ASUS ROG STRIX B850-A Gaming WiFi looks to continue this tradition, but with the B850 chipset at its core, making it more affordable for consumers without sacrificing on features.
