It’s what Echo fans have wanted for a long time: better sound quality. Rivals have achieved this without resorting to a separate subwoofer, but are larger and more expensive. For example, the Google Home Max sounds great, but costs £399 and takes up more desk or shelf space than an Echo. The Sub will go on sale 11 October but it’s available to pre-order the moment it (re)appears on the website....
What’s important to note is that this isn’t simply a Kindle with a colour LCD screen. We were surprised by how chunky and heavy the HD 6 was compared to the new 7th generation Kindle. Because of its large bezels, the tablet is larger than many smartphones with 6in screens (phablets, we like to call them). It’s also thick at 11mm, and seems unnecessarily heavy at almost 300g. The extra 100g of weight makes the HD 6 considerably less comfortable to hold in one hand when reading a book, and will make it a two-handed tablet for some people....
See also: Best budget tablets you can buy right now UPDATE: As of 2 June 2016, the Fire HD 10 is also available in a rather attractive silver aluminium casing (just on the back) which gives it a premium feel at the same price of £169.99. View it here. As usual, this is the base price, so you’ll have to put up with adverts on the lock screen unless you opt to pay an extra £10 when ordering....
Plump for a contract and the 32GB model is free if you pay a minimum of £28 per month, or £23 per month with a £40 up-front cost for the smartphone. If you want the 64GB model, the minimum price is £33 (with no up-front fee), or you can pay £90 for the phone and get a £23-per-month contract. Even at the lower prices, the Fire phone has some tough competition....

Apple has reportedly been awarded a patent for a new generation of AirPods featuring biometric sensors and the ability to wear them in either ear. The patent application was originally spotted by 9to5Mac and suggests a symmetric design that allows it to sit comfortably in either ear with sensors that are “configured to be pressed up against a portion of the tragus”. These sensors could help in health monitoring by measuring heart rate among other things, potentially combining with the rest of Apple’s health monitoring ecosystem....
When is the Apple Pay release date in Ireland? You can use Apple Pay in Ireland from 7 March 2017. The two supported banks are KBC and Ulster Bank, but others are likely to offer support soon. The launch comes three months after Android Pay in Ireland. You can use Apple Pay in thousands of shops around the country, plus in apps and on certain websites. Apple Pay launched in the UK on 14 July 2015, with support from major High Street banks and retailers such as Costa, Boots, Waitrose and the London Underground....
Not much thought went into naming Archos’ first activity tracker, but at least it says what it does. This £50 tracker is a cross between the Nike FuelBand and Fitbit One, and is almost what we wish the Fitbit Flex had been. It’s a lightweight rubber band which clips onto a plastic device that’s rather like the Fitbit One. In fact, the OLED display appears to be a blatant copy of Fitbit’s apart from a couple of details....
But the question for many parents is when is an appropriate time to hand them a phone? We’re primarily talking about smartphones of course, since they bring internet access – and its associated dangers – along with plain phone calls and text messages. What are the risks? We talk in depth about the dangers of the internet in our guide to keeping kids safe online, but with unfettered access to apps, there’s a chance your child could be groomed or see inappropriate material....

Until yesterday, that is, when in stepped Motorola with the even cheaper £89 Moto E, plus an upgraded £149 version of its Moto G with 4G and microSD support. Now with a £60 difference between the two, Motorola could well have just stolen its own budget smartphone crown. We compare the Motorola Moto G and Moto E spec for spec to see which is the best budget smartphone. Also see: Motorola Moto G review and Motorola Moto E hands-on review....
Also see: Best Camera Deals Budget camcorders There’s a myriad of low-cost camcorders to choose between. However, quality varies enormously. Don’t be fooled by specifications – just because a sticker boasts full-HD, it doesn’t mean images will be sharp and full of detail. These days, a smartphone’s camera is likely to rival (or better) the footage from a budget camcorder, so it may make sense to upgrade your handset before shelling out on a dedicated camcorder....
They are the simplest way to boost sound quality if you’re not planning on using headphones. There are countless on the market and while many cost hundreds, not everyone has that much to spend on a speaker. Luckily, there are loads out there that don’t cost the earth and still provide a decent amount of boom – and they’re not all unknown brands. We’ve featured Denon and Ultimate Ears (UE) here to name two....
We’re heading towards the final season now, but the show is just as popular as ever, and with word that HBO is working on a number of potential spin-off shows we suspect that people are going to be obsessed with Westeros for years to come. That’s not even mentioning the fact that the final few books are still yet to be released – even if the TV show will have spoiled the end by then anyway....

Admittedly, there is a way to use wireless headphones on the Nintendo Switch but it’s a risk – a future update could render them useless, though we can’t imagine Nintendo going that far to stop people from using wireless headsets. The safer option is to buy a wired headset and plug it into the console’s 3.5mm headphone jack. While it’s not as convenient as using a wireless headset, the upside is that Switch-dedicated headsets are generally fairly cheap – all the headsets in our chart are sub-£100/$100....
