“Get the best gaming audio anywhere. As a smaller and lighter headset that delivers detailed audio with far superior noise isolation, Sound BlasterX P5 is the perfect headphone for gamers who want to enjoy gaming not only at their desk, but also on the go.”

With premium build quality, and two pro-tuned 7mm Titanium-Coated FullSpectrum drivers, this powerful headset is perfect for gaming on PlayStation, Xbox, PC, and mobile devices alike.

“Weighing at only 12 grams, the Sound BlasterX P5 is a tiny marvel that fits 7mm Neodymium magnets which deliver amazingly high sensitivity 114dB audio with brilliant clarity.

CREATIVE NUNO

Bluetooth speakers may not be anything new, but the Nuno is one of the best out there right now. Not only is it compact and portable, it’s also beautifully stylish, and will be a compliment to any room it’s placed in. Powered by powerful Creative speakers, it’s perfect for listening to the radio, to entertaining your guests with your favourite tunes at a BBQ.

“Clad in fabric, the Creative NUNO’s simple look draws inspiration from nuno, the Japanese word for cloth. It’s a portable, wireless speaker that builds on the classic principles of minimalism: simplicity and timelessness. Beneath the fabric, the NUNO gives you a great sound, thanks to the high-performance speaker drivers inside.”

“It is said that we can do more with less. The NUNO reflects our desire to restore simplicity and return to basics. Especially in a world that’s cluttered with countless options, we’re often distracted from the things that matter. This is the reason why we created the NUNO – a simple, piece of art you can take with you.”

Pair it with your phone, hook up your MP3 player via 3.5mm jack, use it for hands-free calls, or take it with you for entertainment at the beach. There’s a lot on offer from the Nuno and it’s a bit of a bargain too!

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
