When it comes to products of ASUS, we can safely assume that it will be of top quality and that its technical capabilities will far exceed those of its competitors. That already became a standard for motherboards and video cards, but ASUS doesn’t lag behind in other areas and that’s the reason why we’ve seen great notebooks, displays, networking equipment… In the last few years the company’s name became a synonym for quality sound and next to these fantastic sound cards are also headphones of no less superior characteristics. After the exquisite Vulcan PRO, ASUS made a new mascot, Orion PRO, which also belongs to the ROG brand of products, specially made for gamers.

Jabra has definitely stirred up the hive at this year’s MWC (Mobile World Congress) by presenting three new headphone models. Jabra Vox are typical earphones, aiming to replace the headsets bundled with modern smartphones. The other two models, Revo and Revo Wireless, are similar in nature, with the Wireless version containing support for Bluetooth and NFC. We got the standard Revo model for testing, addressing those who prefer the good old cable connection, for either higher sound quality, lower price or reduced power consumption.

After their first venture into the gaming headset market last year, ASUS has lain low, with no other models in the pipeline. This was perceived as peculiar behaviour, as Vulcan was greeted very warmly by media on the whole, but it seems that there was simply no need to reinvent the wheel and better to simply keep the existing one in stock. Vulcan was the first headset to bring active noise cancelling into the gaming market, which was sufficient to make this headset special, coupled with the high-quality drivers and microphone. Still, ASUS didn’t deem it right to rest on its laurels, presenting the PRO version of the same headset, packing a couple of new features.

Although projectors are hardly what ASUS is famed for, it seems that this Taiwanese company has managed to break into the said market with an excellent product. The latter, named P1, is an ultraportable projector with a sufficient number of features to stand out from the crowd, and it’s particularly noticeable for its extremely small dimensions and compactness. It’s the winner of this year’s gold iF award for design, which guarantees high quality in terms of finish, choice of materials, environmental impact, ergonomics, and of course, functionality, with just some of its features being mercury-free Eco-LED lighting and a resolution of 1280x800 (HD Ready).

The P1 projector has the so-called short-throw projection, which enables image display of 40” with a distance of just one metre, with the projector being fully functional merely five seconds after it’s been turned on. Read on to see how ASUS P1 played through our tests and in real-world conditions.

“Smart TV”, or in its popular spelling, SmartTV, is something that the leading LCD and plasma manufacturers seem to be emphasising pretty heavily lately, in parallel with the omnipresent 3D technology. Depending on the particular manufacturer, SmartTV entails (wireless) internet and LAN capabilities, playback of a large number of video and audio formats, as well as images, the presence of at least one USB port, and the capability of installing applications from the manufacturer’s online store/database.

Three-dimensional video content, although currently only available in the tiniest proportions, seems to have become a trend that pushes the video industry forward. Owing to it, tens of new Blu-ray player models with 3D capabilities have been released, and that’s set off the 3D TV receiver industry as well. Read on to find out what LG has come up with to compete.
