The JBL EasySing Mic Mini turns an ordinary portable speaker into a surprisingly capable karaoke machine, and makes a decent recording mic when nobody feels like singing. Karaoke is supposed to be spontaneous. In reality, it usually involves coordinating several people, booking a room and eventually discovering that nobody remembers the second verse. The JBL EasySing Mic Mini, priced at S$219 in Singapore, offers a simpler proposition: bring the microphone to wherever ...

The Anker AeroClip 2 makes a convincing case for earphones that deliberately refuse to shut the world out. Instead of plugging your ear canals like conventional earbuds, they clip around the outside of your ears, leaving you free to hear traffic, colleagues and, regrettably, anyone trying to get your attention.

Large batteries usually come with an equally large physical penalty, but the ...
