Bowers & Wilkins is a renowned British audio brand known for its dedication to high-quality sound and style. The Pi5 S2 true wireless earphones with ANC are one of the latest examples of this and they can be purchased for as little as $250 from Amazon. A big thanks to B&W for sending us a pair for review.
Features
The Bowers & Wilkins Pi5 S2 has almost everything you’d expect from a premium pair of true wireless earbuds. It features Qualcomm’s aptX Adaptive Technology, a wireless charging case, active noise cancellation, and more.
The compact case holds the Pi5 S2 earbuds with a strong magnet and provides up to 16 hours of battery life in total. Music playback and calls can be controlled by the touch sensors on the buds, and while I’m not a huge fan of touch controls, everything seemed to work fine.
I only had one small annoyance where the wear sensor would begin playing music immediately when I put the buds in my ears. This could be seen as a feature, but if you swap music apps or genres as often as I do, then you may not want it picking up where you left off. Luckily, this feature can be disabled in the app.
The companion app from Bowers & Wilkins is a little sparse compared to the competition. It allows you to toggle ANC on or off,control the passthrough mode, check the battery level of the buds, enable or disable the wear sensor, and not much else.
It’s a far cry from other brands that allow you to adjust the ANC level, tweak the equalizer, view the battery level of the case, and customize the button controls. I’d love to see B&W make some improvements here to keep up with other audio brands.
Comfort
There are three different sized ear tips that come in the box with the Pi5 S2. At first, I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to find a good fit because of my smaller ear canals, but my fears were unwarranted. Using the smallest ear tips provided a great fit that was secure and felt comfortable.
Although, after a couple of hours I felt some slight discomfort from the earbud resting on the inside of my ear. Besides that, the Pi5 S2 feel great in my ears, just be aware that longer listening sessions might be less than ideal.
Sound quality
The Bowers & Wilkins Pi5 S2 uses Qualcomm’s aptX Adaptive Technology to stream music from your device over Bluetooth. This latest version of aptX offers 24bit quality audio at lower bit rates than aptX HD, however, it is capable of changing the bit rate dynamically on demand with no interruption in streaming which leads to lower latency. What this all means for you, is high-quality audio streaming with better battery life and no audio lag while watching videos or playing games.
As far as how the Pi5 S2 performs, I was extremely impressed with the sound quality. The Pi5 S2 has a warm open tuning that sounds sublime. The sound signature offers plenty of bass in the low end without being overwhelming, while the highs are more reserved but still offer clarity and separation without becoming piercing.
Overall, the Pi5 S2 has a fun sound that most music fans will love—including myself—while bass heads and those who prefer a more neutral sound may not be completely satisfied. Bowers & Wilkins could resolve this by adding an equalizer into their app, and I really wish they would. It’s one of my only complaints when using its products.
No matter how amazing its headphones sound out of the box, everyone has personal preferences when it comes to sound. An equalizer in the app would go a long way toward satisfying a wider range of music lovers.
ANC
Active noise cancellation worked extremely well with the Pi5 S2. Combined with the secure fit provided by the ear tips, the Pi5 S2 was capable of blocking out everyday annoyances and did a fantastic job of isolating me with my tunes.
Passthrough also worked as it should, allowing me to quickly let in outside noise for a conversation and then swap back to my music. I do wish there was a way to activate it with the touch controls though.
Battery
Similar to another pair of true wireless buds I recently reviewed, I was disappointed with the battery life of the B&W Pi5 S2. The earbuds are rated for four hours from a single charge with up to 16 hours total with the charging case. In my experience, that was accurate, but I wish the Pi5 S2 could last a little longer from a single charge.
At least you can get two hours of playback from a quick 15-minute charge and the case offers the convenience of wireless charging.
Final thoughts
Bowers & Wilkins has done a fantastic job at creating a pair of comfortable earbuds with superb audio quality with the Pi5 S2. My only criticisms are that the features in the app come up lacking when compared to the competition and the battery life could be better, especially at this price point.
Regardless, if sound quality is your priority, then you’ll be perfectly happy with the range and tuning provided by the Pi5 S2. They are currently available for purchase from Amazon or Bowers & Wilkins in Storm Grey, Cloud Grey, Sage Green, and Spring Lilac for $300 or less.

For most people, spam appears to be an unpleasant but unavoidable part of everyday life. Even if you have the latest Android model, it’s unlikely to be long before you start to receive unsolicited marketing messages in the form of text, email, phone calls or pop-up ads. These can be mildly annoying at best and downright detrimental to your mental health at worst.
Fortunately, you don’t have to suffer in silence. While we can’t guarantee that you’ll never receive another spam message again, following a few simple tips and tricks can help to greatly reduce the number of unwanted missives you see. Here are a handful of the most effective ways to stop spam on your Android device.
Do not engage
The first rule of thumb when it comes to dealing with spam messages is not to respond to them whatsoever. Even replying with a “STOP” response (or something similar) is highly inadvisable, since it will only serve to alert the sender that your phone number is indeed active. That will encourage them to send you more unwanted spam in the future and potentially share it with others within their network, multiplying the number of messages you receive many times over.
Be careful with your personal data
Haven’t you heard? Data is the new gold. Any time you subscribe to a new site, service or otherwise part with your personal information, there’s a good chance it will be mined and sold to the highest bidder. As such, you should take care when agreeing to privacy policies and data collection agreements. If possible, invent a decoy email address and phone number to avoid your data being compromised.
Opt out from data brokers
It’s all well and good practicing caution with your personal information going forwards, but what about all your private information that is already in the hands of data brokers? Try Googling your name and see how many results come up! Fortunately, it is possible to take back control of this information by contacting data brokers (those who buy and sell your data) to ask them to remove it from their database. Here you can find a list of data broker opt out guides which describe the opt out procedure for most major data brokers in the US.
Use your email filter
Whichever email service provider you favor, they’ll undoubtedly offer a filter feature on your inbox. This will automatically detect messages from suspicious senders and direct them to your Junk folder. What’s more, you can aid the technology in upping its game by flagging spam messages that it misses (or correcting legitimate ones that it has mistaken for spam) within the inbox itself. This will inform the AI behind the filter and ensure it improves its performance going forward.
Block and report text messages
If you continue to receive unwanted missives from a particular number, you can simply block it from reaching you in the future. To do so, navigate to the message and click on the three dots in the top right corner, then select “Block”. There may also be a “Report” option here, depending on the device you own. You should take care not to click on any links in the message itself, however, as this can download malware or spyware to your phone, tablet or laptop.
Tweak your privacy settings
Depending on which apps you have downloaded to your phone, you may unwittingly have allowed them to spy on you as you surf the web, make calls or even just go about your daily business. If an app asks for permission to record your voice, use your camera or track your location – and it has no obvious reason for doing so – it’s likely that its developers plan to sell the information to a data broker. As such, you should deny these permissions as often as is feasible.
Delete problematic apps
As well as adjusting your privacy settings, you can also delete troublesome apps altogether to enhance the security of your data. You can do this manually, or else by enlisting the help of an ad network detector. Although these detectors will not actually delete problematic apps, they will point you in the direction of those causing the problem so that you can make a decision on what to do with them. Be careful when downloading such a detector, however, since some spam generators pose as detectors to hoodwink you into parting with more data even as you try to do the opposite.
Spam has become a far too commonplace part of modern life, far too easily. It’s time to take a stand against annoying adverts, relentless robocalls and unwanted text messages. Though these tips can’t guarantee you an ad-free existence, they can significantly reduce your exposure to undesirable texts, calls, emails and pop-ups in the future.

The massive number of players turning towards online gambling has created an endless pool of online casinos — half of which you shouldn’t even visit, let alone deposit money with.
To help you find casino sites that’ll treat you fairly, we’ve created a thorough guide to the best online casinos.
As you will soon discover, we have put Ignition at the top of our list of best online gambling sites. However, you will also find several other operators that gave it a good run for its money.
Each of these casinos offers something unique and special — and is ultimately the “best” in a certain category. That said, let’s check out all the top online casinos we found and help you find the perfect one.
Ignition has been one of the most popular online casinos ever since it opened its virtual doors in 2016.
One of the reasons so many people flock to this online casino site is that it offers more than just a massive collection of casino games. You can claim an awesome welcome bonus and participate in numerous ongoing promotions. You can also count on fast withdrawals and join poker tournaments.
Game Selection 4.5/5
Ignition’s impressive collection of games ensures that you will never become bored. They offer hundreds of games from top software developers, including RTG and Rival Gaming.
On top of having over 100 slots and video poker games to choose from, we were particularly happy with the range of table games. We aren’t just talking about the standard blackjack, roulette, and baccarat variants.
You can play many other popular table games like Craps, Teen Patti, and loads of online casino poker titles, including Pai Gow, Caribbean Stud, and Casino Hold ‘Em.
If you want to try something different, you can enter online poker tournaments, bet on virtual sports, or try your luck at Keno and bingo. The only thing missing is sports betting. Perhaps a few more slots as well.
Bonuses and Promotions 4.7/5
New customers have their choice of two attractive welcome bonus offers. Those who fund their account using cryptocurrency can claim a 150% deposit match bonus of up to $3,000. Those who prefer using fiat currency will receive a 100% deposit match up to $2,000.
It’s worth noting that both welcome offers are evenly split between Ignition’s poker platform and casino section. The casino bonus arrives with fairly low 25x wagering requirements, making it really easy to earn back with a few lucky spins.
Furthermore, Ignition’s ongoing promotions ensure that existing customers can always cash in on more bonuses.
Banking 4.6/5
It pays off to use cryptocurrencies to play at Ignition. As such, you can use Bitcoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, and Tether to deposit and withdraw. However, they also support a few fiat options, including major credit/debit cards and prepaid vouchers.
Another plus is that members get one free withdrawal every three days. The limits are more than reasonable, too. You can cash out up to $9,500 at a time, depending on which method you choose.
Crypto withdrawals are processed within an hour, while fiat withdrawals usually take 3 to 5 days.
Miscellaneous 4.5/5
While Ignition does not feature a sportsbook, they do have a busy poker room where you can join cash games and poker tournaments. Some of these tournaments feature GTDs well over $100k, so it’s worth taking a shot if you’re an experienced poker player.

3. Slots of Vegas — Online Casino with Lowest Wagering Requirements
Pros:
Up to $3,000 welcome bonus
No wagering requirements
24/7 customers service includes telephone support
Established brand
Cons:
Cannot access all games in instant play mode
Limited banking options
Slots of Vegas has been in business since 2004. The site features about 150 games from Real Time Gaming, and you can either download the software or use instant play mode to start playing online casino games, although the latter does not give you access to every game.
But what caught our attention the most here was the welcome offer. It has no wagering requirements!
Game Selection 4.2/5
Slots of Vegas is regularly adding new titles to its already decent selection of slots and progressive jackpots. Doragon’s Gems and Nine Realms are among the most recently added. The site also boasts over a dozen video poker games such as Deuces Wild, Aces & Eights, and Bonus Poker.
While you won’t see them until you have opened an account and logged in, Slots of Vegas has plenty of table games and specialty games.
Aside from blackjack, roulette, and baccarat, you can play games like casino poker, craps, and several others.
Bonuses and Rewards 4.9/5
If you are looking for a generous welcome bonus with even more generous wagering requirements, then Slots of Vegas has a deal for you. When you make a minimum deposit of $30 and enter the code NEW300, you’ll get a 300% match bonus up to $3,000 with no rollover and no max cash-out. The only rule? You can’t withdraw the bonus itself — only the winnings.
On top of this, Slots of Vegas has plenty of great offers for existing customers, including bonus funds, free spins, and cashback.
Make sure to agree to accept promotional offers via email and SMS. This way, you will be able to take advantage of many other exclusive offers that you may not find advertised in the promotions section.
Banking 4.0/5
Even though Slots of Vegas accepts a wide range of cryptocurrencies, those who use fiat currency will be faced with limited options. In fact, you can only deposit fiat money using major credit/debit cards or eCheck.
We weren’t impressed with Slots of Vegas’ withdrawal times as well. While crypto withdrawals are typically processed within 24 hours, the pending periods for fiat withdrawals can last up to 7 days.
A lot of online casino players will find this unacceptable. However, if you don’t mind your withdrawals a tad slower — there’s nothing bad in joining Slots of Vegas.
Miscellaneous 4.7/5
We didn’t mention the unbelievably favorable wagering conditions when we told you about the welcome bonus because it deserves its own section.
Very few, if any, of the best online casinos can compete with Slots of Vegas’ No Playthrough bonus. That’s right! When you use the bonus to play keno and slots, you can keep what you win.
Bitstarz was established in 2014, and it’s recognized as one of the first operators to focus on cryptocurrency. Bitstarz is hands-down one of the best real money casinos in terms of game selection.
Partnerships with dozens of top providers allow the site to offer over 4,000 games. This online casino is known for offering ultra-fast payouts and one of the biggest crypto welcome bonuses in the business.
Game Selection 4.6/5
If you value having the largest collection of real money games to choose from, then Bitstarz has what you’re looking for. You can choose from over 2,000 online slots, including big progressive jackpot slot games such as Master of Starz and Diamond Wild.
Another thing that makes Bitstarz one of the best online casinos is its spectacular collection of table games. It blows most other top casino sites out of the water with more blackjack, roulette, and baccarat variants than almost anyone else.
Bitstarz also offers games like casino poker variants, craps, sic bo, and rocket dice. Crypto users can even try their luck at Crash. Of course, you can play live dealer games, too — but keep in mind that most countries are denied access to Bitstarz’s live section.
Bonuses and Rewards 4.2/5
Almost all top online casino sites have a welcome bonus, but very few are as eye-popping as the Bitstarz welcome bonus. Make a first minimum deposit of $20, and you’ll receive a 100% match bonus of up to 1 BTC. You’ll also get a whopping 180 free spins.
Your second deposit will earn you a 50% match bonus also up to 1 BTC, while your third deposit nets you a 50% match bonus up to 2 BTC. Make your fourth deposit to receive another 100% match up to 1 BTC. That adds up to a whopping welcome package worth up to 5 BTC and 180 free spins.
Banking 4.5/5
As a crypto online casino, Bitstarz accepts a variety of cryptocurrencies, including BTC, BCH, LTC, ETH, USDT, ADA, and more. Even if you do not own cryptocurrencies, you can purchase some directly on-site via MoonPay.
Bitstarz also accepts e-wallets and credit cards, but most players around the world will only be allowed to use crypto to play here.
The biggest advantage of using crypto here is that you’ll enjoy near-instant withdrawal times. We’re talking 8 minutes here. That being said, you get much greater value for your money when you deposit crypto at Bitstarz.
Miscellaneous 4.5/5
We rated Bitstarz as the best crypto casino for a few reasons. For starters, they accept so many different coins, and the crypto bonuses are much larger than the fiat bonuses. Also, Bitstarz offers a range of crypto games, including the ever-popular Crash. Bitstarz even facilitates the purchase of cryptocurrency.
5. Super Slots — Best Bonuses of all Online Casinos
Pros:
Lucrative welcome bonus and a variety of promotions
High deposit and withdrawal limits
Fast withdrawals
200+ games from top software providers
Huge selection of payment methods
Cons:
No telephone support
Does not accept eWallets or vouchers
Even though Super Slots launched in 2020, it has already made a splash and earned a reputation as one of the best online casinos around.
Super Slots serves up a feast of mobile games from providers such as Nucleus, Rival Gaming, and BetSoft. The site supports a wide range of secure payment options, 24/7 support, and a very sweet welcome bonus offer.
Game Selection 4.5/5
When you arrive at Super Slots online casino, you have a choice of over 500 games. Mafia Family, Piggy Game, and Gold Bricks are among the dozen titles that were recently added.
The site offers everything from slot games and video poker to table games and specialty games like scratch cards, Keno, and arcade-style games.
Even though the name of the site would indicate that Super Slots specializes in online slots, they do an admirable job of offering a diverse selection of table games that transcends the traditional offerings.
Poker fans will be thrilled to find all sorts of casino poker titles like Oasis Poker, Triple Edge Poker, and Tri Card Poker. It gets even better in the live casino.
Then, you can use the bonus code SS100 when you make your next five deposits. This will trigger another 100% up to $1,000 bonus each time as long as you make a minimum deposit of $20.
To cash out your deposit bonus money, you need to wager the bonus plus the deposit amount 35 times within 30 days. After you have completed the welcome bonus, you can participate in loads of regular promotions to earn even more bonus cash and other fantastic perks.
Banking 4.5/5
It couldn’t be easier to deposit and withdraw at Super Slots. The site supports a huge selection of payment options, including cryptocurrencies, credit/debit cards, wire transfers, and even money orders. Deposits and withdrawals are free, and the limits are very high.
Cryptocurrency withdrawals are normally processed within an hour or two. Those who withdraw fiat currency can expect to receive their winnings in 3 to 5 days. The biggest drawback here is that fiat withdrawals can only be made using money orders, bank transfers, or checks by courier.
Miscellaneous 4.6/5
We rated Super Slots as the best online casino for regular promotions for a good reason. They have more ongoing offers than most other best online gambling sites. Exclusive crypto bonuses, free spins, and cashback are just a few examples of what you can expect.
You can also participate in daily tournaments to win your share of over $1,000,000 in monthly prizes.
6. Red Dog Casino — Best Online Casino For Fast Withdrawals
Pros:
Licensed in Curacao
Valuable 225% welcome bonus
Excellent mobile gaming interface
Fast withdrawal times
Unlimited reload bonuses
Cons:
Does not support eWallets
Red Dog launched its online casino in 2019. The game library is very diverse, the site is a pleasure to navigate, and you can claim unlimited reload bonuses.
Game Selection 4.6/5
At first glance, we were not impressed by Red Dog’s collection of games which currently stands at a little over 150.
However, we quickly noticed that the variety of games was very good. In addition to online slots and progressive jackpots, you’ll find an assortment of table games that goes beyond the typical blackjack and roulette offerings.
Even though you can’t see any live dealer games when you first open the site, Red Dog does in fact serve up plenty of live dealer titles. You just need to open an account and log in to see them. You’ll also find some exciting specialty games and plenty of video poker.
Bottom line is that Red Dog focuses on quality rather than serving you thousands of casino games. This means that whatever game you play, you can rest assured that the graphics are top-notch and that the RTP is above average.
Bonuses and Rewards 4.8/5
Red Dog gives new customers their choice of first deposit match bonus offers. If you enter the bonus code WAGGINGTAILS when you deposit for the first time, Red Dog will give you a 225% match bonus.
You can use this code 5 times on your first five deposits and potentially net a maximum of $12,250 in bonus funds. The wagering requirements are not too bad either at 35x.
After you’ve played through your welcome bonus, Red Dog has loads of regular promotions waiting for you. Perhaps the most popular of these promotional offers is Red Dog’s unlimited reload bonuses — you’ll get rewarded every time you fund your account.
Banking 4.5/5
It doesn’t matter if you want to play real money casino games using cryptocurrency or fiat currency — Red Dog has an easy and secure payment solution for you.
They accept Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether, and a variety of other altcoins. They also accept major credit/debit cards, bank transfers, and vouchers. Crypto withdrawals typically take about a day to reach you, while fiat withdrawals usually take 3 to 4 days.
Miscellaneous 4.5/5
We pointed out Red Dog’s excellent mobile interface in the pros and cons. As far as real money online casinos go, you will be challenged to find one with such a well-designed, sharp-looking, and intuitive layout. You don’t even need to download an app for full effect.
