High quality, well-designed wireless gaming controller
This nifty controller from Steelseries successfully bridges the gap between the PC and Android (3.1 or greater) with the Stratus XL Wireless Gaming Controller that does have similar shades of design to the Xbox One controller. For users of Steam, gamers will be pleased to know that the controller compatible with this platform. So whether you’re playing PC games or tackling Android titles, the Stratus XL Wireless Gaming Controller does it all and more importantly gives you everything you need to get your game on. Installing the controller on a PC is quite simplistic provided you have Bluetooth connectivity and you also need to install the SteelSeries engine software. This software will power the Stratus XL on your Windows 7, 8 or 10 system. Setting up the Stratus XL on Android devices is far easier as you just pair both devices via Bluetooth. Other highlights include LED’s to inform the user of how much charge is left in the two AA batteries to informing the user when a connection has been made to either a PC or Android system. The controller even has a mouse mode system which allows you to use the right analog stick as a mouse with the shoulder buttons as clicks. Buttons are also easy to push without too much force and the shoulder buttons give you additional control for playing. The analog sticks are accurate and responsive as is the D-pad. I also liked the textured rubber tops of the analog sticks that gives the user some additional accuracy and control. In terms of power and as mentioned, the Stratus XL requires two AA batteries (included) and gives the user around 40 hours of gaming which of course is dependent on certain games. So whether playing a first person shooter, racer or MMO, I had no issues with this controller whatsoever and it did prove to be quite responsive. On the Android, the experience was just as flawless, particularly controlling VR games on the Samsung Gear VR headset.

Solid set and well worth the price
I think the Bluedio T3’s are a fantastic looking set of headphones. The entire frame is made of zinc alloy and it feels solid and durable. I’m not worried about the headphones breaking. The hinges allow the headphones to fold up, making it easy to transport them. Each earcup is made of memory foam covered in a soft leather-like material. They’re incredibly comfortable even after several hours. Noise isolation was also very good. The headband features the same soft touch leather like material, cushioning your head from the solid band. The pairing process is pretty straightforward. You’re actually able to pair two devices with the Bluedio T3 and it’ll automatically cut over to the correct device when it plays music. It was nice to get notifications from both of my phones without having to change the pairing all the time. The integrated controls work well, with volume, play/pause and a call button. Various click patterns will do things such as redial the last number called or skip tracks. They can be a little challenging to find when wearing the headphones due to the lack of separate buttons, but as long as you work from the central button, it’s not too difficult. Another great feature is the line-in support, that allows you to use the Bluedio T3’s as normal headphones if you want to use them with a device that doesn’t have Bluetooth or their in-built battery is flat. This is particularly useful if you’ve forgotten to charge it’s batteries. However, the in-built music controls don’t work over the 3.5mm connection which is disappointing but not surprising. In terms of audio quality, I wasn’t able to hear any difference between the Bluetooth and 3.5mm connections, with both sound quality and volume seemingly uninfluenced by the connection type. Another unique feature is the line out function. If you’re connected via Bluetooth, you can share your music with a friend by directly connecting headphones directly into the Bluedio T3. I can see it being handy if you wanted to share music with your friends but I didn’t really use it. Also, whilst it worked fine with standard headphones, those sporting a TRRS jack (like the Apple Earbuds) won’t work. Battery life was fairly good, achieving around 20 hours of music playback offer the course of two weeks. Micro USB charging makes it easy to top up when your not at home. The Bluedio T3 headphones are a solid set and well worth the price of admission based on the overall quality of the unit and impressive array of features. Build quality is amazing, with great details that make the device feel far more expensive than it actually is whilst being incredibly comfortable. Sound quality was also good, though too bassy for my liking, but fans of bass-heavy music will love them.
