Nothing Ear (1) : la petite bombe sonore
The first product of Nothing, the new company of Carl Pei, one of the founders of OnePlus, the Ear (1) surprises with its design. Using a clear plastic on part of the case and the ear cups works well. Its good resistance together with the IPX4 certification (which guarantees resistance to splashes and perspiration) allows its use during sports practice.
On the sound side, the in-ears (1) do not try to impress and offer an extremely balanced reproduction, with all frequency ranges well represented. Both spatialization and stereo reproduction are impeccable. But where the headphones are dazzling is at the level of active noise reduction that blows away everything that is made at this price level and turns out to be a nice gift at a reduced price. However, beware, the brand has announced an imminent price increase for its flagship headphones.
These headphones stand out for their unparalleled quality and features at this price, we say all the good things we think about them in our Nothing(1) ear test.

We are not going to lie to ourselves, a bit like the Goncourt of the year, the reading light is a navigational gift. Although that doesn’t mean it’s bad. For under 100 euros, the basic Kindle does a job that couldn’t be more honorable.
It is compact, light and solid. And if its 6-inch screen isn’t the most detailed we’ve tested, it’s readable in all circumstances. Even the night does not scare him thanks to its integrated lighting. Kindles’ other big strength is the Kindle Store, by far the largest platform in the e-book marketplace.

UE Wonderboom 3: the small speaker that sends heavy
This third version of the UE Wonderboom takes up its particularly nice compact and round design. Dressed in mesh fabric, this affordable Bluetooth speaker is designed above all for use on the go. Therefore, it is waterproof and is not afraid of dust and sand.
Among its other strong points, we highlight an autonomy that reaches 13 hours, but above all a surprising power reserve from the sonorous point of view. The rendering is clearly not meant to be audiophile, but it will be enough to add sound to most environments.
A very good little speaker that will delight both adventurers and those who prefer to stay by the fire. It’s also a nice gift at a low price that we were able to test.

Sennheiser 350 BT: comfortable and durable
Released in 2021, the Sennheiser 350 BT is already establishing itself as a benchmark for affordable headphones. In the ears, it does not disappoint. First, because it shows a beautiful, relatively well-balanced sound reproduction. On the other hand, we notice a somewhat messy sound at high volume.
The headphones are of the circumaural type, which means that the ear cups surround the ears. This naturally offers good passive isolation and also good comfort, as the headphones do not put pressure on the ears. Finally, the Sennheiser 350 BT benefits from a great advantage: its comfortable autonomy of about thirty hours. The Sennheiser 350 BT is almost flawless, it’s hard to ask for more at this price.

Lenovo Smart Clock connected alarm clock
The Lenovo Smart Clock is, as its name suggests, an intelligent alarm clock that integrates Google’s Smart Displays system. This alarm clock consists of a small 4-inch screen housed in a casing with a design largely -and voluntarily- similar to Google Home products with this fabric covering. Integrating Google Assistant, it offers the same possibilities as Google Home: set an alarm, check your calendar, etc.
This alarm clock has a speaker with acceptable performance that will allow you to play music or listen to the radio from the foot of your bed. The upper part of the product is a touch area to increase or decrease the sound or to doze the alarm clock by touching it. The screen adapts to the environment so as not to disturb the user in the middle of the night. For example, at night it will turn black and white so as not to hurt the eyes and not interfere with sleep.
Lenovo’s Smart Clock is a bit like the connected alarm clock we dreamed of 15 years ago and really like, as our Lenovo Smart Clock test shows.
