Great speakers for a tad over a hundred pound? Sounds good to us
Tibo Electronics is a relatively new name, having been founded in 2010. However, despite the company's youth, it has so far developed some pretty impressive audio products.

Soundfreaq Sound Rise Wood
We wake up to modern connectivity and our own choice of music
Soundfreaq exactly a household name in the UK, but it is popular among audiophiles the world over, and for good reason, if the Sound Rise Wood is anything to by.
This is a modern spin on the radio alarm clock and one that offers Bluetooth connectivity, a USB port for charging your phone, and the usual features you'd expect.
XQISIT S20 Portable Bluetooth Speaker
XQISIT delivers a great combination of looks and performance
XQISIT is a new company to this reviewer and makes a vast range of phone and audio accessories, from Bluetooth headsets to car chargers.
Its website lists it as being based in Germany, though the hardware I received declares on the exterior that it was built in the P.R.C. (China), predictably.
Ricoh WG-M1 Action Camera
Ricoh demonstrates that action cameras don't need to cost the earth
Ricoh has a rich history of making desirable small cameras, but the WG-M1 is something of a departure even for them. It's an inexpensive GoPro competitor that is fully waterproof to 10m without needing an additional enclosure.
At first glance it looks rather like a miniature submersible probe, foregoing the typical camera layout for something much more interesting.
Samsung Portable SSD T3
Any similarities between the name of this product and a gadget mag are purely coincidental
Samsung is always looking for new ways to exploit its VNAND flash technology, and the T3 is the latest it's come up with.
Essentially a USB memory key on steroids, the T3 is a precision-made device that looks like something Q would hand James Bond before sending him into action.
Nvidia Shield TV 16GB
Could this be the king of the media streaming set-top boxes?
The Android set-top box war may have just been won with the Nvidia Shield TV. Where other Android entertainment units feature one element or another and usually fall down in several more, this rather wonderful box from Nvidia just keeps giving.
To start with, the Nvidia Shield is a surprisingly high powered device, with an impressive Nvidia Tegra X1 processor at its core, an Nvidia custom-made 256-core GPU driving some splendid visuals and 3GB of memory helping to tie everything up and keeping the experience as smooth as possible.
