JLab has launched its latest wireless work headset on the back of the impressive Go Work headset. The Go Work Pop is a more lightweight affair but still has the killer feature that made its bigger brother so good.
The on-ear headset boasts 50-plus hours of use on a single charge (five hours more than the original) and comes in a choice of three colours: black, teal and a rather funky lilac. They're comfortable to wear and the audio settings are focused on making voices clear, although you can always switch to music mode if you want some fun time. The noise-canceling microphone on the rotatable boom also means you can be heard clearly.
The headset has foam earcups and are controlled using convenient on-ear buttons. Bluetooth pairing is also super easy and the Pops come with multipoint tech which means you can effortlessly switch between two devices (say your computer and your phone). This a really useful feature that makes the JLab's stand out from the crowd. At £39.99, these are an affordable option if you want to up your home office game.
Trust Eco Friendly Bologna Laptop
Want to help save the world while looking stylish at the same time? The Trust Eco Friendly Bologna Laptop is made out of 11 recycled PET (polyethylene terephthalate) bottles so you can walk around without the emotional baggage!
That's all fair enough, but is the bag up the job? Happily, it is. It's a very tough, padded sleeve suitable for 16ins laptops and smaller It's top loading and comes with a zippered front pocket for extra storage. The removable and adjustable shoulder strap is comfortable enough, while the handle allows you to carry the bag in one hand. There's also a trolley strap.
You get a choice of four different colours: red, blue, black and green. Currently, the bag is on offer for £18.99. It's a nice-looking, slim case that's both rugged and professional - and the fact it's made out of plastic bottles will always be a good conversation starter.
GalaxySmartTag+
On the back of Tile's success, big tech companies are getting into the tracker game. Alongside Apple's AirTags, we now have the Samsung equivalent with its GalaxySmartTag+ devices. Essentially they are designed be attached to keys, bags or anything that tends to go missing.
Connected to your smartphone via Bluetooth you can then hunt them down without having to turn the house upside down. The Ring feature makes the tags let out a siren until you hit stop, while you can use the Search tool to know how strong the signal from the tag is. Thanks to being ultra-wideband they have an impressive range of 120m.
They are slightly bulkier than some of their competitors but they look fine on your keychain and are pretty rugged with an IP53 rating for water resistance.
They work well and are competitively priced at £38.99. The battery will last about a year - but is easily replaceable (this is very important). The only limitation is that you need one of the latest Samsung Galaxy phones running Android 11 or later to use them. But if you're investing in the Samsung ecosystem, they're an obvious choice.
