The TrueCapsule true wireless earbuds from SoundPeats have touch controls, IPX5 water resistance and support Bluetooth 5.0. They have the same stem based design as the Anker Liberty Airs I reviewed recently, and Apple’s AirPods for that matter. Rather than the in-ear design of the SoundPeats TrueFree+’s I also took a look at a few weeks ago, or the Galaxy Buds.
I was quite impressed with the TrueFree+’s so was keen to see how SoundPeat’s latest earbuds fared at a similar budget price of around £35 or $40.

![Power bank with AC outlet review | Updated RAVPower PD Pioneer 20000mAh 80W Power House (RP-PB054)
The RAVPower PD Pioneer 20000mAh 80W Power House isn’t your standard USB power bank. As well as a 30W USB-C USB Power Delivery port and a Qualcomm Quick Charger 3.0 18W USB-A port, it also has a standard plug socket. This AC outlet is designed for charging your laptop, but so long as you stay within its limits it has lots of other uses too. From making your Sonos speaker portable, to running a giant gym fan!
This versatility comes at a price - it costs around £80 or $80. After discussing its features, I’ll put its claims to the test, charging a whole range of devices, to try and establish if it’s worth its asking price to you.

![Ikea Sonos Symfonisk review | Wireless speaker lamp | Sound test | Setup inc smart lighting
The Ikea Symfonisk table lamp has a WiFi speaker built in that fully integrates into the multi-room Sonos wireless HiFi system, Airplay 2 for direct WiFi streaming from Apple devices, and it’s a lamp.
It costs £150 or $179, so more pricey than the bookshelf speaker that I reviewed recently that is part of the same Symfonisk range. But it’s still competitively priced compared to other Sonos speakers.
I’ll be comparing it against the cheaper Ikea bookshelf speaker and the more expensive Sonos One and Play:3, to determine if it’s worth the money.
