Brita Marella water filter system

  Drinking water is the easiest way to regulate the human body’s normal temperature, and is the easiest way to get rid of waste. However, due to weathering from the elements on water pipelines, most tap water has myriad elements that, when ingested in large amounts, can be harmful in the long run. The solution […]

HTC Sensation XL Hands-on

HTC Sensation XL Initial Impressions When HTC bought into Beats by Dr. Dre, they announced two smartphones that were integrated and bundled with Beats earphones. The first was the HTC Sensation XE and the second one was a bigger (and whiter) HTC Sensation XL which has a massive 4.7″ screen. We currently have a review […]

Audio-Technica PRO5MK2 Headphones Hands-on

ATH-PRO5MK2 Headphones Hands-on Audio-Technica Philippines sent us a review unit of the ATH-PRO5MK2 Monitor Headphones. When we opened to box we were happy to find that the model they sent us was the one with a camouflage finish (looks army’ish). This is actually the can that I was considering when I was in the market […]

Unboxing the AKG K3003 Reference Class 3-Way Earphones We currently have a review unit of the AKG K3003 Reference Class 3-Way Earphones courtesy of AKG Philippines. This is probably one of the best universal earphones ever made in the world. Like what we said in our previous post, what makes the AKG K3003 special are […]

2011 Nissan Teana 3.5XV Review

  It really wasn’t too long when our EIC tested Nissan’s premium executive car, the Teana 250XL. In that test, he describes the Teana as one of his “wish-list” cars. Perhaps I’ve been good the rest of the year because Nissan made sure that I get to experience that same rocking weekend with their new […]

2011 Mercedes-Benz GLK 280 Review

Bold, intelligent, and pricey. That’s the Mercedes-Benz GLK sport-utility vehicle. Sharing its platform with the C-Class, the GLK holds a distinct position of rugged-looking SUV that drives like a car and feels much like a tall station wagon. The GLK is for those who want to unleash their inner brutes; those who want to leave […]

2011 Lexus IS 300 Review

  Produced as a direct competitor to the luxury sport sedans of the leading European luxury marques, the Lexus IS 300 was designed with a greater performance emphasis typically seen on Japanese luxury vehicles. At first glance, it looks like a typical Euro-brand car like the Audi A4, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, and the 3 series of […]

2011 Nissan Sentra 200 CVT Review

It was in 2005 when I first bought my Nissan Sentra (B14 second-generation) at the Nissan Mantrade dealership in Makati. I was supposed to buy a Toyota Vios back then—because it was newly launched and something that I like—but due to my brother’s persistence in pushing me to try Nissan’s technology, the next thing I […]

Smart Netphone Review

Smart Netphone 701 Review I’ve been playing around with the Smart Netphone for the last week and I think I’ve spent enough time with it to come up with a balanced and comprehensive review. During the testing period I used the Smart Netphone as my primary phone. I loaded it up with prepaid credits and […]

2011 Suzuki APV II SGX REVIEW

I must admit that I was one of those who underestimated the Suzuki APV. I guess it was because of its weird boxy shape appearance—some say ugly. But those preoccupied with the looks department have little between their ears and are bound to make stupid car purchases later. The APV II has a spacious cabin that […]

2011 Hyundai Grand Starex Limousine Review

KOREAN carmaker Hyundai has finally reached being at the top as it continues to offer a wide range of automobiles that are well suited for every need. The Hyundai Grand Starex is one of them. But to add more sizzle to this variant, the boys from Asan, South Korea, further pushed the envelope on how […]

2011 Ford Fiesta Sport Review

Being practical doesn’t always imply a sense of weakness. Take the 2011 Ford Fiesta Sport for example as it offers value for money in a very reasonably package. Easily recognizable are the vehicle’s headlamps and the attention drawn complemented on the lower bumper flanks by round fog lamps. The Fiesta is accented by elements like […]
