My quest for good wireless earbuds below the US$50 price point continues with the 1MORE omthing AirFree. Since we are talking about a piece of hardware that can be purchased for as low as US$25, we need to see if the shortcuts used to achieve this price decreased the product's overall value too much.

The last one will be the first. With its display technology and powerful battery of an almost 600-mAh capacity, Mobvoi mainly wants to improve the weak battery life that is typical for WearOS – and it succeeds. The fact that the smartwatch uses "GPS" in its name, even though many wearables record routes at this point, is also justified: with GPS, BeiDou, GLONASS, Galileo, and QZSS the TicWatch Pro 3 GPS is positioned very well.

Although smartphones have replaced digital audio and media players for most people nowadays, there is still a market for such specialized devices. FiiO is one of the relevant brands in the field and the M3 Pro is a sub-US$100 digital audio player that has a few tricks up its sleeve, as we are going to see in this hands-on review.

A matter of opinion. Not fish, not meat - that was the conclusion of some testers on the Nubia alpha, which presented Nubia as a smartphone on the wrist. The successor Nubia Watch, on the other hand, clearly carries the species in its name. Optically it stands out clearly among many current Smartwatches. But Nubia does not get enough out of advantages like GPS and heart rate sensor and the phone interface did not pass the test.

Step by step. Five years of continuous development are making themselves felt: The affordable Xiaomi Mi Band 5 convinces in the test with many useful functions and a precise measurement of the steps taken. This is particularly surprising given the extremely low price of only 39 Euros (~$46).

Out into nature. The Honor Watch GS Pro is a clear commitment to sports and leisure activities in nature. Honor gives it a robust case and had it tested according to several military standards. Not only in this point does the wearable differ from other current smartwatches though, including the Watch GT 2 Pro of the parent company Huawei.

I turn the wheel. The rotating bezel is not the only thing that sets the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 apart from other smartwatches. Like no other, it presents WhatsApp messages clearly arranged and including pictures and emojis. Only the runtime is still a shortcoming.

Narrow-breasted. With the Tone-Free headphones, LG offers an exciting headset that features good runtimes, IPX4 certification and a charging case that is a real bacteria killer. Read the review to find out why it is not a TWS headset for everyone.

I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride my bike. Who expects something like that? The Honor Watch ES supports outdoor cycling only when connected to a smartphone from Honor or Huawei. We discovered even more curiosities - but also took a look at the new fitness workout that makes the two wearables something special throughout the company.

Gimbal or electronic stabilizer? The smartphone gimbal Zhiyun Smooth Xs promises wobble-free video recording and, despite its only 2-axis stabilization, is being promoted as a low-cost alternative to the 3-axis gimbal DJI OM 4. In our Hands-On we check the promise of smooth camera movements and test what the software behind it is capable of.

Enco In-Ears. The Oppo Enco Free True-Wireless headphones convince on the datasheet with a good overall package at a price of less than 80 Euros (~$94). Our test clarifies how big the differences to the more expensive Enco Free model are and whether it's worth spending more money.

Peeled from the egg. Huami has grown. Two years after the takeover of the multisport sensor company Zepp, the Group is establishing a new wearables brand under this name. The first product is a chic smartwatch. In our test, the Zepp E makes a good impression. But it does not justify its high price.
