Canadian audio brand Kanto has launched the Obi3, a new belt-drive turntable designed to complement various Kanto Audio speakers. The Obi3 features a built-in phono preamp, Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity, and a minimalist design, marking a fresh direction for Kanto in Hi-Fi audio suitable for modern listeners.
Great Sound Coupled with Simplicity
The Obi3 promises smooth and balanced sound, blending traditional vinyl’s qualities with ease of use. It can connect wirelessly to powered speakers or through RCA outputs to existing systems, making it versatile for different settings. Brett Smalley, Kanto’s Marketing Director, highlights that Obi3 is the first in a new series of turntables aimed at celebrating analog joy and simplicity.
At its core, the Obi3 has a belt-drive system for precise playback, featuring a pre-installed Audio-Technica AT3600L cartridge for clear audio. The turntable includes a weighted aluminum platter and wood plinth for stability, along with an aluminum J-shaped tonearm for accuracy. It offers pitch control and plays at 33⅓ and 45 RPM speeds.
Analog Joy Meets Wireless Simplicity
“Obi3 is the first in a series of turntables that we will release,” said Brett Smalley, Marketing Director at Kanto Audio. “Obi3 represents a new design language for Kanto, one that celebrates the tactile joy of analog and the simplicity of our speaker range. Together they make a great system.”
With Bluetooth 5.3, users can easily connect to wireless speakers or headphones. For traditionalists, the integrated phono preamp and RCA output maintain the analog signal integrity, allowing it to work with classic hi-fi setups. The Obi3 comes in Black, White, and Green, designed to fit well into various home styles with its compact size.
Availability and Price
The Obi3 is priced at $199 / £179 and launches in November 2025. This launch is the first step in Kanto’s ambition to create a new turntable range. Smalley envisions the Obi3 as a foundation for appealing to a new generation that appreciates vinyl as a ritual.
NACON’s RIG audio brand has launched the R5 SPEAR PRO HS, a new gaming headset officially licensed for PS4 and PS5 consoles. It emphasizes “studio-grade” audio fidelity for competitive gamers, featuring 40mm graphene drivers that offer ultra-clear sound and precise in-game threat localization by minimizing distortion.
The headset also includes a proprietary SNAP+LOCK mod system for customizable ear-cups and cushions, along with a clear 6mm precision boom mic for team communication.
R5 SPEAR Series: High-Performance Audio for Gamers
The R5 SPEAR Series launch is meant to emphasize the brand’s focus on providing excellent audio for gamers. The R5 PRO HS is specifically designed for PlayStation 5 consoles, offering high-quality audio to enhance gaming performance. It features advanced audio technology and a new SNAP+LOCK mod system, making it a standout wired gaming headset.
The headset is custom-tuned for first-person shooter games, utilizing 40mm graphene drivers. These drivers are lightweight and strong with a graphene coating, which reduces audio distortion and delivers clear sound. This design allows gamers to accurately identify in-game threats. The R5 PRO HS boasts less than 0.5% total harmonic distortion and a wide frequency range, making it ideal for serious gamers wanting high-quality sound.
Customizable Comfort and Clear Communication Features
The SNAP+LOCK mod system allows users to customize their headsets with interchangeable earcup ‘Mod-Plates’ and cushions. Future accessories, including limited-edition designs, are also planned. The 6mm precision boom mic supports clear communication with a frequency range of 50Hz–15kHz, minimizing background noise and allowing easy muting.
“Our objective with the R5 was to create a headset specifically designed for competitive gamers, and graphene is central to that commitment,” stated RIG Head of Product, Michael Jessup. “With a total harmonic distortion of under 0.5% and a wide frequency range, the R5 PRO HS is engineered for gamers in pursuit of studio-quality audio for their gaming experience.”
Salient Features of RIG R5 PRO HS
The R5 PRO HS headphones offer high-fidelity audio with a wide frequency range of 20 Hz – 40kHz, providing accurate sound and low distortion. They are specially tuned for gaming to highlight essential sounds. The headphones feature graphene drivers for enhanced audio directionality and come with a clear, broadcast-grade microphone. Users can customize their headsets with interchangeable Mod-Plates.

The iGarden Swim Jet P Series arrives as a counter-current system designed to transform a backyard pool into a hub for lap swimming, aquatic workouts, and family play.
Rather than being positioned as a standalone device, it’s framed as part of iGarden’s larger ecosystem of “artful” and “intelligent” poolside products, alongside its robotic cleaners and smart pumps.
Let’s be clear, the target user here isn’t the Olympic hopeful training for competition, but homeowners and fitness-minded families looking to get more out of the pool they already own.
Design, Materials, and Build
iGarden leans hard into design as a differentiator. The Swim Jet P Series reflects the company’s guiding principle of Artful Living —balancing utility with form.
The iGarden Swim Jet P Series transforms a standard pool into a versatile training and recreation space, blending sleek design with powerful performance and backed by an unmatched three-year full replacement warranty.
Aesthetics and Form Factor
This is not a boxy machine bolted awkwardly to the pool wall. Instead, the Swim Jet adopts a sleek, modern look, blending into high-end outdoor spaces. The jet engine-inspired nozzle adds a touch of personality while underscoring its performance-driven role. In short, it’s engineered to look as good poolside as it feels in the water, which matters for buyers investing in the overall look of their backyard retreat.
Materials and Durability
At its core is a stainless steel motor with an IP68 rating, meaning it’s built to handle continuous submersion while resisting dust and corrosion. Considering the chemical cocktail of most pools, stainless steel was the obvious choice. The emphasis on durability and low maintenance signals a product meant for years of service, not just a couple of seasons.
User Interface
Operation happens through an integrated touchscreen panel built directly into the unit. That’s a clear step up from traditional button arrays or clunky remotes. It feels familiar to anyone used to smartphones, with controls for multiple wave modes presented in a straightforward, approachable way.
Core Technology and Features
Behind its polished exterior, the Swim Jet P Series runs on a system marketed as InverTurbo technology. That term wraps together a 1250W IE5 brushless motor, one of the most energy-efficient classes available, and an inverter drive for fine-tuned control. Pair that with iGarden’s patented flow channel, and you get a water stream that’s powerful but steady, designed to avoid the choppy feel often associated with jet-driven systems.
Control and Connectivity
Users can manage the system via the onboard panel, a Bluetooth remote, or the Wi-Fi-enabled iGarden app. Whether adjusting while mid-swim or tinkering with settings from the patio, the control flexibility fits the “smart backyard” branding.
Operational Modes
The Swim Jet P Series comes with five modes:
Free Mode (P0): Continuous current for steady lap swimming.
Training Modes (P1–P4): Structured Easy, Medium, Hard, and Endurance programs that vary current speed and duration.
Surf/Entertainment Mode (P5): Cycled high- and low-speed waves for play and family fun.
This flexibility means it’s not just a swimmer’s tool but it can also serve for aquatic therapy, casual exercise, or simply turning the pool into a wave machine for the kids.
Installation and Setup
iGarden designed the P Series to retrofit into existing pools, with mounting options for deck drilling or wall installation. A lighter overall build makes installation more manageable than some of the heavier industrial systems on the market. Still, iGarden recognizes that drilling into a pool deck can feel daunting, so it backs the product with free professional installation support. That reassurance lowers the barrier for homeowners and helps preserve its premium positioning.
For the sake of my review, I opted for a temporary setup which amounted to mounting it to an arm that was weighted down. My PR rep advised that I could take advantage of the free installation, but since I don’t own a pool myself, I resorted to using a friend’s.
It took maybe 10 minutes to unbox and understand what I was looking at, but I did need to download a PDF instruction book. Add in another 15 minutes or so as I was doing this myself, and it was up and running. A second person would have cut the time in half, and it would gone quicker if I was okay with getting into the pool to do it.
If you go this route, you’ll want about 40 pounds or so to hold the frame down. Think a bag of sand or salt and you’ll be good.
Come next year, I will probably end up mounting this at a family member’s pool. The cords and hoses are generously long so I am confident it will be no problem to install.
Pool Requirements
For proper use, pools must meet minimum conditions:
Dimensions: At least 3 × 5 meters (10 × 16 feet).
Depth: Minimum of 50 cm (20 inches), ideally between 100–250 cm (40–100 inches).
Infrastructure: Stable 110V or 220V power and Wi-Fi for app connectivity.
Performance
Performance is where this system earns its premium tag. The top model produces currents up to 4 m/s and moves roughly 1,100 gallons per minute. But more important than raw power is the quality of the current.
iGarden’s patented “fan-shaped” nozzle creates a swim area about twice as wide as competing jets. That means swimmers aren’t forced to stay perfectly centered in a narrow stream, making workouts more natural and less fatiguing. The wider current also makes it easier for multiple people to use at once, which is, of course, ideal for families.
Adding credibility, iGarden touts a partnership with USA Artistic Swimming, a nod that the system delivers a consistent current good enough for serious training, even if its main audience is homeowners rather than elite athletes.
Market Position and Value
The Swim Jet P Series sells at an MSRP of $6,799, with early promotional pricing around $4,419. While some lower prices might appear online, these are likely for used units or mislisted products. At this tier, the value isn’t just about raw specs. It’s the total package you’ll need to consider, which is design, versatility, app control, installation support, and warranty.
Competitors
The most direct comparisons I can find are Endless Pools’ Fastlane Pro and Speck’s BaduJet Turbo Pro. Endless Pools’ propeller system is often praised for a smoother, more natural current, but it comes at a higher cost (~$11,000) and seems to be a more involved installation.
BaduJet systems also deliver strong currents but typically come with shorter warranties and fewer modern conveniences. Plus the price and installation could put it around $20,000 before it’s all done. iGarden’s fan-shaped jet flow and full replacement warranty give it a distinct edge for homeowners balancing performance with peace of mind.
Warranty and Support
Here’s where iGarden really separates itself: a three-year full replacement warranty. If something major goes wrong, you don’t send the unit in for repair, you get a new one. From what I can tell, that’s practically unheard of in this category, where competitors usually offer one- or two-year limited warranties.
Add in 24/7 customer support by phone and email, and the after-sales experience matches the premium positioning. For buyers nervous about investing thousands into a pool accessory, this policy is a strong confidence builder.
Pinnacle Selection represents our highest honor, one reserved for products that stand out in design, performance, and overall value.
Products earning this distinction exemplify excellence across the board, delivering an experience that truly rises above the rest.
When you see the badge, you’re looking at the best of what’s available in its category.
Final Take
The iGarden Swim Jet P Series is more than a simple backyard add-on or basic jet. It’s a versatile upgrade that makes a standard pool useful for serious training, light fitness, or just playtime with the kids. Its polished design, smart controls, and thoughtful engineering give it broad appeal, while the warranty sets a new bar for trust in this space.
For homeowners who want their pool to work harder without losing style, the Swim Jet P Series is an excellent fit. Competitive swimmers may still prefer propeller systems for a smoother current, but for most households, iGarden has found the sweet spot between performance, convenience, and long-term value.
Pit Viper, the Utah-based brand celebrated for its colorful personality and durable eyewear, has launched the BN5000 snow goggles, a high-performance pair engineered to help riders “see naked” on the mountain. The goggles combine advanced optics, quick-swap convenience, and fog-free clarity with the brand’s trademark flair for fun.
Engineered for Uncompromising Clarity
At the heart of the BN5000 is Pit Viper’s Worldwide Vision technology paired with its HDPV (High Definition Peripheral Vision) lens. The combination delivers enhanced contrast, sharp definition, and an expansive field of view designed to keep every bump, ridge, and turn in focus. The goggles feature dual-layer, anti-fog lenses and a Hyperventilator 360° frame system to maintain crystal-clear visibility in changing weather.
“Pit Viper is committed to constant innovation,” said Jonathan Uda, VP of Product. “With the BN5000, we’ve merged advanced design and premium features to give riders uncompromising clarity and comfort in every condition.”
Smart Features for Smoother Runs
The BN5000 isn’t just about optics. Its Magic Magnet system allows for lightning-fast lens swaps, ideal when mountain lighting flips from bluebird to whiteout. Each pair comes with a bonus low-light lens for adaptable performance across the day. A 50mm strap lined with custom snakeskin silicon ensures the goggles stay firmly in place during park laps, halfpipe sessions, or backcountry rides.
The Night RiderThe Miami NightsThe GenesisThe ExecThe Combustion
Additional design highlights include heat-formed foam for panoramic comfort, full UVA and UVB protection, and seamless helmet integration with Pit Viper’s own lids. It’s a blend of rugged engineering and playful energy that stays true to the brand’s “performance meets party” ethos.
A New Flagship for Pit Viper’s Snow Line
The BN5000 joins an expanding lineup that has recently welcomed the Flip-Off and Backslap goggles, as well as new colorways for fan favorites like the French Fry and Proform. On the moto side, Pit Viper has been just as busy, rolling out models like the Brapstrap and World Champion.
Available now for $250 USD ($350 CAD), the BN5000 comes in five expressive colorways: The Genesis, The Combustion, The Night Rider, The Exec, and The Miami Nights.

Let’s be honest, modern cars have come a long way with their infotainment systems, but for many, the built-in solutions still feel a bit… basic. You’ve got CarPlay or Android Auto, sure, but what if you want to stream Netflix, run a full suite of Android apps, or keep the kids entertained with movies on a rear screen, all without a spaghetti of cables?
If you’re nodding your head, then the CARLUEX PRO+ 2.0 Multimedia AI Box might just be the upgrade you’ve been dreaming of. This compact, plug-and-play device promises to transform your vehicle’s infotainment system into a smart, connected multimedia hub, bringing the full Android 13 experience, 4K streaming, and true wireless phone mirroring right to your dashboard.
What Is It?
The CARLUEX PRO+ 2.0 is a multimedia AI box designed to supercharge your car’s existing infotainment system. It essentially runs a full Android 13 operating system, giving you access to the Google Play Store, seamless wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and 4K video streaming capabilities. It’s built to bypass the limitations of standard car systems, offering an all-in-one solution for advanced in-car entertainment and connectivity.
Design and Features
The design of the CARLUEX PRO+ 2.0 is refreshingly minimal. It’s a small, compact, and lightweight box that blends unobtrusively into your dashboard, making it hardly noticeable. Its sleek housing incorporates ventilation slots, which is a thoughtful touch to prevent overheating during extended use.
Under the hood, this AI box is a powerhouse. It’s driven by a Snapdragon 6125 octa-core processor with an Adreno GPU, running the latest Android 13 operating system. This means ultra-fast app launches, lag-free multitasking, and improved app compatibility. With 8GB of RAM and a substantial 128GB of built-in storage, expandable up to 512GB via a MicroSD card, you’ve got ample space for all your apps, movies, and music.
Connectivity is a strong suit, too. It supports true wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, finally letting you ditch those frustrating cables. For standalone use, it boasts built-in 4G LTE cellular support (with a SIM card slot for mobile data), dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4GHz and 5GHz), and integrated GPS navigation.
But where it truly stands out for entertainment is its 4K video streaming capability, running apps like YouTube, Netflix, Disney Plus, and Amazon Prime Video natively through Google Play Access. And for the audiophiles, the Qualcomm WCD9385 audio decoder delivers 24-bit/192kHz Hi-Res audio in perfect sync with visuals.
One of its most compelling features, especially for families, is the dual HDMI outputs, including a Micro HDMI port, which allows for simultaneous video playback on both front and rear screens. This should offer plenty of peace on long road trips! One issue I did run across is the microSD and SIM slot lack springs or orientation labels? I had a hard time not only getting them in and out of the inputs, but also if I was doing damage to the unit with them not properly aligned.
Performance
The CARLUEX PRO+ 2.0 truly shines in its real-world performance. The plug-and-play setup is genuinely simple; just connect it to your car’s USB port, and your dashboard is upgraded in minutes – no rewiring or professional installation needed. Boot-up times are swift, typically taking around 18–30 seconds, though this can vary slightly depending on your car model.
Once it’s running, the CARLUEX OS 2.0, built on Android 13, presents an attractive, vibrant, and highly customizable user interface. The reviewer noted it’s one of the best-looking layouts they’ve tested, with clear icons and a thoughtful design. Multitasking is a breeze with its split-screen mode, allowing you to run navigation and streaming apps side-by-side, which is incredibly useful.
Wireless Apple CarPlay connects quickly and appears full-screen, providing a seamless extension of your iPhone. Wireless Android Auto also connects quickly, though it was observed not to always utilize the full screen, sometimes displaying black bars on the sides.
Streaming performance for services like Netflix, YouTube, Disney Plus, and Amazon Prime Video is excellent, with crisp 4K video quality. The audio quality is generally good, though one reviewer did encounter an unexplained audio issue with a local TV app. While the device handles 4K video playback from its SD card at 24fps or 30fps smoothly, attempting 4K at 60fps did result in choppiness and dropped frames.
Overall system performance is smooth and largely lag-free, thanks to that Snapdragon chip. However, a minor quibble noted was occasionally needing multiple touches for a response and finding certain settings (like manual time zone adjustment) a bit tedious to navigate. The device can also get warm with prolonged use, though the ventilation helps. (excuse my old Jeep’s dash condition)
A crucial safety reminder: While the device allows video playback while driving, exercising discipline is paramount. Drivers should never watch videos in motion; this feature is primarily intended for passengers or when the vehicle is safely parked.
The CARLUEX PRO+ 2.0 is compatible with over 800 CarPlay-enabled car models from 2016-2024, supporting iPhones 5 or higher and Android 6.0 or higher devices. It’s important to note, however, that it is not compatible with BMW wired CarPlay models.
Upgrade beyond standard infotainment with the CARLUEX PRO+ 2.0. This plug-and-play AI box delivers true wireless CarPlay/Android Auto, immersive 4K streaming, and a full Android 13 system, effortlessly transforming your vehicle into a next-level entertainment hub for the whole family.
Price
The CARLUEX PRO+ 2.0 is generally priced at $269 USD, though it’s often available with promotional discounts, sometimes as low as $215 for the device or $244 for a full accessory bundle. You can purchase the CARLUEX PRO+ 2.0 directly from the Carluex website.
Final Thoughts
Awarded to products with an average rating of 3.75 stars or higher, the AndroidGuys Smart Pick recognizes a balance of quality, performance, and value.
Products with this distinction deserve to be on your short list of purchase candidates.
The CARLUEX PRO+ 2.0 Multimedia AI Box is far more than just another car accessory; it’s a genuine transformation for your car’s infotainment system. It delivers a modern, feature-rich Android experience that seamlessly integrates advanced entertainment and connectivity into a compact, user-friendly package. While there are minor kinks to iron out, like occasional UI responsiveness or 4K 60fps local playback, its overall performance, ease of use, and comprehensive feature set make it a highly recommended upgrade for anyone looking to truly future-proof their ride.
Whether you’re a tech enthusiast, a family on long road trips, or a ride-share driver looking to enhance the passenger experience, the PRO+ 2.0 offers next-level convenience and entertainment that makes every journey more enjoyable. It’s a niche market, but the PRO+2.0 adds real functionality that a small amount of users may be looking for in the car.
Mobile gaming has exploded in popularity over the last decade, becoming one of the most accessible and versatile forms of entertainment worldwide. While iOS devices boast a polished and unified gaming experience, Android offers a distinct ecosystem that stands apart in meaningful ways.
From device variety to customisation, Android gives players and developers opportunities to shape gaming on their own terms. Whether you are playing puzzles, quizzes or slots on some of the best online casino sites, the mobile gaming experience on Android can be truly unique.
A Vast Range of Devices
Unlike iOS, which is limited to Apple’s hardware lineup, Android gaming thrives on a massive ecosystem of devices spanning budget-friendly phones to high-performance gaming smartphones like the ASUS ROG Phone and Lenovo Legion series. This diversity makes gaming accessible to a broader audience, whether someone wants a casual puzzle game on an entry-level device or console-like graphics on a powerhouse handset.
Customisation and Flexibility
Android is known for its open ecosystem, and this translates directly into gaming. Players can tweak performance settings, overclock processors on certain devices, or install custom ROMs to optimise the gaming environment. Accessories like Bluetooth controllers, external cooling fans, and even VR headsets often work more seamlessly with Android due to its less restrictive framework.
Game Variety Beyond the Play Store
While the Google Play Store is the main hub for downloads, Android uniquely allows sideloading apps and accessing third-party marketplaces like the Samsung Galaxy Store or TapTap. This means players can try region-exclusive games, beta builds, or indie titles that may not be available on iOS. For developers, it provides a wider reach and fewer gatekeeping restrictions.
Hardware Innovations
Many Android manufacturers experiment with hardware features tailored to gamers. High-refresh-rate displays (120Hz and above), dedicated gaming triggers, larger batteries, and advanced cooling systems are common on Android gaming phones. These innovations often appear on Android devices years before becoming industry standards elsewhere, giving players an edge in responsiveness and immersion.
Diverse Price Points
Android democratizes gaming by offering devices at multiple price tiers. Unlike iOS, which requires a premium investment, Android users can enjoy mobile gaming on affordable phones, with free-to-play games optimised to run smoothly even on modest hardware. This inclusivity fuels Android’s dominance in emerging markets, where gaming is often the first step into digital entertainment.
Cloud Gaming Integration
Android has embraced cloud gaming services like Xbox Cloud Gaming, NVIDIA GeForce NOW, and Google’s own Stadia (before its shutdown). Because of the platform’s flexibility, Android devices often serve as the go-to for streaming console or PC-quality games on the go, blurring the line between mobile and traditional gaming.
Community and Modding Culture
Android gaming also thrives because of its strong community-driven spirit. Many players share mods, custom APKs, or performance tweaks that expand the possibilities of what a mobile game can do. This grassroots creativity gives Android gaming a unique culture that iOS, with its closed ecosystem, struggles to replicate.
Final Thoughts
The Android mobile gaming experience stands out for its diversity, accessibility, and freedom. From high-end gaming smartphones with cutting-edge features to budget-friendly devices bringing fun to millions, Android caters to every type of player. Its openness fosters creativity, innovation, and inclusivity, making mobile gaming on Android not just unique but also a central force in the evolution of gaming as a whole.
