Teno Speaker Review- sound and light
A new way of experiencing sound and light
On its surface, Teno is a beautifully crafted bowl sculpture made from natural sand. When cracked open, it comes alive; revealing soft, warm light that you can adjust with a simple tap. When fully open, it's a powerful speaker, releasing a rich sound that you control through touch. Your music will never sound — or look — better.
A new aesthetic
Have you ever felt the urge to hide your portable speaker because it looks too tech-y? From the start, we designed Teno with an entirely different look and feel in mind: a celebration of the perfection in the imperfect. The world doesn’t need any more sleek plastic surfaces.
High-quality sound
Beauty only goes so far. We equipped Teno with a powerful 45mm full-range driver that delivers deep bass and crystal-clear treble… all from an unseen source, emanating almost magically with the soft glow of this unusual bowl sculpture.
Intuitive and unique design
Teno is designed to delight. You crack it open to switch it on. It comes alive with intuitive finger gestures. Piece it back together to turn it off.
Tactile and durable
The textured natural sand on the outside feels like you’re holding a piece of nature in your hands, while the hard inner shell provides the durability and precision that its technology requires.
Defies obsolescence
Teno is designed to be timeless. And unlike so many products marketed today, it develops the kind of patina that only makes it more beautiful over the years.
Portable
At 5” in diameter, Teno fits neatly in the palm of your hand. It’s small enough to be portable but substantial enough to feel solid.

Designed to connect
Far from being another distracting piece of technology, Teno is for connecting with yourself and with your environment. Hold it in your hands and its vibrations impart a meditative feel — we like to think of it as modern interpretation of a sound bowl. Its radiant light creates the kind of calming atmosphere we could all use a little more of.

The Electric Road Scooter | Taur Review
The Electric Road Scooter
Introducing TAUR – an evolution in electric scooter design.
Electric scooters have, until now, been based on a ‘kick-scooter’ design. An electric adaptation of a toy made for kids.
That’s why there was little consideration for withstanding potholes or powering up hills. They weren’t made to be ridden at night or for cruising alongside cars. Most other designs make you top heavy and needlessly close to the front wheel. Why? Because road-riding was never the goal.
In addition, most electric scooters take ages to charge, aren’t great to look at, can easily get stolen and require a PhD in engineering to change a tyre. With all this in mind and more, our co-founder, leading personal mobility engineer and all round legend, Carson Brown, put himself to the test of creating a better one.
The safest way to scope the road is facing forwards. TAUR’s foot platforms give you a dedicated standing space that’s 2.5x wider than a typical scooter deck.
The wider, lower, side-by-side ride position makes you incredibly stable and secure. With just a small shift in weight to either side, you get a flowing, effortless turn. It also allows you to turn your head easily in either direction for maximum traffic awareness.
The fold-down foot platforms are made of an aluminum alloy covered with a high-grip foot surface. Each one is big enough to hold a rider's foot comfortably (Size 12 Gang, we've got you) which creates a highly stable weight distribution either side of the frame. Shocks from uneven roads are no problem at all.
When you're done, just fold them up and you're good to go.
TAUR’s minimal design frees up space for bigger wheels – up to 3 times bigger than other brands. Because size matters.
Potholes are a thing of the past thanks to our 12.5” kevlar-reinforced, puncture-resistant Continental® tyres. Impressive for a car, let alone a scooter.
Like some kind of two wheeled tank or G-Wagon, TAUR's deep treads cut right through to the tarmac so you won't fail to find traction, even on wet and slippery roads.
Puncture? The Kevlar-reinforcement makes that very unlikely. But if you do get one, you can remove either wheel in under a minute and be back on the road in just a few more.
TAUR™ has a simple, elegant frame. Made from aircraft-grade aluminum alloy, it's incredibly robust, lightweight and fully recyclable. Yes, we care for the planet.
The automative-grade paint job is a matte powder-coat, giving TAUR™ a subtle but sophisticated look while still maintaining high levels of durability against marks and scratches.
Who said night riding is a write-off? TAUR™ comes packed with a 300 lumen Cree® LED headlight with a high-power directional beam, giving even Batman a run for his money. This means you’ll have great visibility and plenty of time to react, even in the darkest of nights.
Safety doesn't stop there either. Unlike other products, which have a narrow front light, we specifically designed ours to contain frosted side layers that make riders visible from 240 degrees. That's right. Flex at every angle.
We're only satisfied with rear lighting that's visible at a driver's eye level. So, in addition to our highly visible front light, there's also an 80 lumen brake light at the rear, as well as a separate 100 lumen rear-projection light that utilizes TAUR's forward facing riding position. Shining a light onto the rider's back. So all eyes are on you – no paps please.
Imagine that hill you hate to walk up. Now imagine yourself zooming up it with ease. Thanks to our 500W motor in action, you have a top speed of 24mph (39 kph) and a range of 22 miles (35km).
But it's not just the motor, it's the batteries too. We use high performance cells specifically chosen to give maximum torque from the motor.
TAUR™ comes with 3 power modes:
ECO MODE - Don't blast off the block, but you'll recharge less often.
ROAD MODE - Everyday travel with great speed and acceleration.
SPORT MODE - Because life’s is too short to not go fast!

Charge Up & Charge On
Nobody likes waiting for things to charge. Especially Carson Brown. TAUR™ comes with a 125W charger to power up our high performance batteries up to 3x faster than the average electric scooter.
Moreover, our smart battery management system (BMS) ensures that TAUR™ is aware of what's going on. The system takes readings several times per second, to make sure your battery is healthy and happy. It also means accurate range prediction, so you really know when you do/don't need a charge.
80% charge in 2 hours. Or by the time the game is over.
100% in under 3 hours. Extra time? Guess that’s extra power.
At The Flick of Your Thumb
Even while riding TAUR™, all of its functionality is accessible. Cruise control, sound the horn, change performance modes, turn the lights on and more.
Switch up your ride any time with a 5-way thumb-controlled joystick and cycle through modes on a display that doesn’t look like your 6th grade calculator.
The Fort Knox Of Scooters
Keep your enemies at bay. TAUR™ is secure and rideable only to people you grant permission. Simply tap your key fob, or use our app to unlock via bluetooth.
They’ll Need A Bigger Chainsaw
Park up anywhere stress-free by running a lock through the frame and front wheel (or both!). Oh, and you can set a security alarm too – anyone moving it for more than a few seconds will get a lot of unwanted attention (settings in app).
N.B. Lock not included.
Carry On
Don’t let the sleek lines fool you – folding TAUR™ only takes a few seconds. The kick-actuated handle unlocks the hinge which allows the steering column to clip safely into a reinforced steel support under the mudguard.
And despite packing a performance punch and incredible robustness, TAUR only weighs 15.5kg (34lbs).
Always TAUR, Sometimes Decor
Electric scooters can be a pain to store. So, we thought we'd try and make its footprint even smaller. TAUR™ stands vertically on the rear wheel and specially designed bullhorn handlebars. Alternatively, if you're old school, you can stand TAUR™ folded or unfolded on the centre stand, ready to go.
Come Rain or Shine
Don't let a bit of water stop you from that joyride. TAUR™ has an IP55 rating (pssssst, that means it works in the rain) which means you can Mary Poppins your way through town.
TAUR In Your Pocket
Keep it moving with charge check-ups and the latest updates through the TAUR™ app – for Android and iPhone.
Over-the-air updates – stay up to date with the latest functionality
Battery notifications – know if you get low
Remote immobilization – disable your product wherever you are
Alarm settings
Lighting settings
Speed limiting
TAUR™ is a hyper-connected machine with a lot of software potential. We plan to deliver some amazing functionality for backers in the short term, but we've got plenty more on the roadmap.

Milo Review Action Communicator Review
#Milo_Review Action Communicator Review | Speak with friends while you ski, ride or surf.
MILO - The Action Communicator Speak with friends while you ski, ride or surf. Hands-free, no Wi-Fi or cell signal needed. For adventures on slopes, trails and water.With sophisticated #wireless_networking, audio processing and hardware, carefully crafted design and a set of groundbreaking technologies, we'd like to introduce Milo - The Action Communicator. Milo lets you speak with your group naturally and hands-free so you can keep your eyes on your surroundings and your hands on the handlebars or ski poles. Milo makes it possible to truly share adventures with friends and family.
It's easy: clip on your Milo and you’re ready to go - simply talk and hear everyone in your group, like being near each other even when apart. Milo gives you voice notifications about battery level, successful grouping confirmation, when someone goes out of range or re-joins your group, and more. Traditional walkie-talkies suffer from severe limitations: you have to push-to-talk, only one person at a time can talk (half-duplex), poor audio quality, no wind noise suppression and they are often hard to use. Not to mention, most are bulky and heavy and conversations are not private. For Free Guest posting - https://www.latesttechnicalreviews.com/ Milo integrates six high-performance digital microphones and a powerful speaker so you can be heard clearly and hear everyone in your group, even in noisy outdoor environments: sophisticated audio signal processing algorithms suppress wind and other background noise. More Reviews - https://ltrmagazine.latesttechnicalreviews.com/ In addition to Milo's integrated microphones and speaker, you can optionally pair Milo with a Bluetooth headset or plug in a wired headset. Milo provides an open voice connection to your group but with a single click you can mute your microphone while still hearing the conversation. Your conversations are encrypted, private and secure and can only be heard by people in your group. The Milos in your group create a secure mesh #radio_network and you don’t need Wi-Fi or cell signal. At the core of Milo is the MiloNet protocol. It provides proactive routing to quickly adapt the network topology to moving Milo nodes and changing conditions, tolerance to high packet loss and quick convergence to correct routing. Here's a demo of the MiloNet protocol, illustrating quick route formation and route stability. The grouping process is very simple - bring your Milos close, press a button and wait for the audible notification. You're connected! The Milo clip uses magnets to snap in your Milo, triggering a secure mechanical lock. The clip can be attached to a bag strap, armband or bike handlebars and will not detach even if you fall or ride over bumps. Milo will not fall off, even if knocked or pulled. Milo is waterproof and dust proof with an IP67 rating and can be fully submerged in water. It will work in the freezing cold or in direct sun, so you can safely bring Milo along on a dusty road bike, ski or surf adventure. Thank You

Bebebark Handmade Bag Review- Designed for Women
Bebebark - Designed for Women. Made for Life.
A day-to-night bag fused with Parisian charm and made from nature. Adaptable to your life & your style.
The bebebark is a compact, eco-friendly, day-to-night bag by LaFlore, designed by Natacha Seroussi. Made from premium, sustainable cork bark, bebebark combines timeless Parisian elegance and a classic square proportion with the everyday functionality required for modern women.
Its removable and adjustable straps allow you to wear it as a backpack, a shoulder bag or crossbody bag, or a clutch. The brass clasp opens 180 degrees for a wide, clear view into the bag. Interior pockets and dividers in the bag were designed to organize your essentials and an exterior hidden zipper at the side provides easy access to your phone.
Designed to be a day-to-night bag, bebebark can be worn as a mini backpack, a shoulder bag or crossbody bag, or clutch - carried in the hand. The new convertible system makes it fast and easy to go from one to the other.
bebebark fits any lifestyle, any woman, and any occasion - designed to match the shape of a woman’s body and highlight any outfit. On the go or at the office, bebebark will be there to elevate your style.
Each pocket was designed for your everyday essentials - from your phone and tablet to your makeup, book, sunglasses, charger, and hand sanitizer.
In total, there are 11 pockets and compartments that will keep your items organized and easily accessible. The brass clasp opens 180 degrees for a wide and clear view into the bag, and the bright orange lining helps you locate your treasures with just a glance. A zippered section divides the main compartment.
All of our bags are handmade with love. Our sustainable cork material always comes from Portugal and our lining is made from eco-friendly recycled cotton. Our global team of artisans and workshops have been pioneering innovations in eco-friendly and sustainable craftsmanship.
The design process for the bag starts in our Parisian atelier, where we envision and sketch the bag and then develop a sample. Conceptualizing and creating the initial design can take 6 months to a year, and sometimes even more. During this process, we are in close communication with our team of artisans who have vast experience creating high-end handbags for over 30 years. Samples are scrutinized and tested until the design and quality is absolutely perfect.
Our bag artisans pay close attention to every detail to guarantee each and every bag is of the highest possible quality.
Our bag is handmade from a premium cork skin which is harvested in Portugal and polished until the texture is as soft and supple as leather.
Cork is as resistant and durable as leather but 3 times lighter. It is completely organic & ethical. Collecting and harvesting the bark from the cork tree takes place every 7 to 9 years, and does not harm the trees. In fact, this harvesting method helps the trees grow and release more oxygen.
LaFlore is a family story, between a father and his daughter. Elie, the father, is the founder of one of the leading fashion houses in Paris, CECILE & JEANNE. Elie has worked in fashion for over 30 years. Natacha is a young designer born and raised in Paris surrounded by craftsmanship and the finest handbag workshops.
They share a passion for design and fashion, as well as a mutual concern for our environment’s future. Together they created the brand LaFlore, which stands for luxury and sustainability, so women never again have to choose between style and ethics.
A year of research and dozens of prototypes later, bobobark was born. Now, LaFlore is excited to welcome bebebark to the family, continuing the tradition of creating backpacks for women that merge ethics & aesthetics. You can be confident that a handbag from LaFlore is versatile, comfortable, eco-friendly, and completes any outfit with classic elegance.
Thanks to the success of our first campaign, we renovated our Parisian boutique. It’s located in the heart of le Marais and it’s now LaFlore’s flagship store. We invite you to come and meet us so we can show you the bebebark prototype in person. We also make great coffee!

Hooke Lav: A Sleek Wireless Mic With Pro-Grade Sound
Hooke Lav is a wireless microphone that captures pro-grade sound with no wires, no dropouts and no hassle. The Bluetooth lav has 8GB of internal storage and connects to any device with the click of a button. This slick, minimalist microphone maximizes your freedom to record with no setup necessary!
#Hooke_Lav: A Sleek #WirelessMic With Pro-Grade Sound
A wearable microphone with studio-quality sound that captures dropout-free audio with one click
It’s the first truly wireless device to send high quality audio over Bluetooth at low latency. The stylish, clip-on gives you professional quality audio recording in the studio, on the go and out in the wild. It eliminates wind noise, cuts the cord and, thanks to its internal storage, picks up every second of audio even if Bluetooth cuts out.
Smartphone cameras have been upgraded year after year, but their mics still don’t measure up, leaving you with subpar sound on crystal-clear videos. The same goes for mics on DSLR cameras and laptops—the quality isn’t there!
The only way to improve sound quality is upgrading to a better microphone, but that often requires sizable funds, technical know-how and a learning curve. And on top of that, most “quality” lavalier microphones on the market have messy cords or bulky design.
With Hooke Lav, you can skip the confusion and opt for an affordable pro-quality mic that operates with one click!
Hooke Audio is no stranger to success in the sound engineering world. In 2014, founder Anthony Mattana had a wildly successful Kickstarter launch of Hooke Verse that raised $163,166 with 1,385 backers.
Hooke Verse headphones were flawlessly delivered to backers in 2017, and since then, Hooke Audio hasn’t stopped revolutionizing the world of mobile Bluetooth sound
Before Hooke Audio, creators sacrificed sound quality for utility with Bluetooth speakers and headphones that were limited to sending mono audio (3kHz – 5kHz). The only way to upgrade to stereo audio (20Hz – 20kHz) was using a more cumbersome setup with added weight and wires. Hooke saw this problem and built a custom codec that allows dual-channel streaming of high-quality audio to both Android and iOS at incredibly low latency.
Android and iOS are not (yet) natively set up to receive our proprietary Bluetooth recording codec, so we use our mobile app to make the handshake with our recording codec. The result is a fully stacked mobile app designed to change the way you record the world!
Hooke Lav has just one button that’s used for powering on/off, beginning/ending recording and pairing. Plus, it automatically turns off after 10 minutes of non-use to conserve battery life.
Cut the cord and slip on the smallest wearable mic that records wirelessly to any mobile device through Bluetooth 5.0. The stylish mic has 7 hours continuous recording battery life and takes less than an hour to fully charge. Whether you need to be in the scene or on the scene, Hooke Lav ensures you get ridiculously crisp audio in one click.
Hooke Lav is equipped with 8GB of internal storage, backing-up every capture in real time, so your audio is seamless even when Bluetooth is not.
When a recording begins, the audio is sent to the phone or device over Bluetooth in real time, while an identical file is being written to internal storage. When a recording ends, Hooke Lav merges both audio files together for a pristine, dropout free recording.
Hooke Lav uses digital, omnidirectional microphones to capture the highest-quality, noise-free sound in both the loudest and quietest environments. When you play it back, it sounds like the audio is happening right in front of you. With Hooke Lav, you don’t have to be a sound engineer to access high-quality audio equipment!
Hooke Audio app for iOS and Android is the only app on the market that lets a device stream rich, dual channel, high quality audio (20Hz – 20 kHz) over Bluetooth to Android and iOS with no latency.
The Hooke Audio app also doubles as a field recorder. Put your device in your pocket and record audio on the fly! Share your videos and sound recordings via email, social media and text message straight from the app. No special speakers or algorithms required.
Hooke Lav was created to capture audio to your mobile device, but we know sometimes things don’t go as planned. And that’s why we created Island Mode.
Island Mode lets you record hands-free, without connecting to a phone or camera. You can “unplug” from the world and still record your thoughts, songs and sounds with just a clip and a click! Hooke Lav stores the capture onboard until you’re able to connect and upload to a mobile device.
You don’t do everything on a mobile device. That’s why we created Receiver Mode, allowing one LAV to receive audio from the other and transmit it directly into the audio jack of any camera. Syncing your sound directly to picture.
Receiver Mode requires 2 lavs and allows you to override the internal microphone on your phone/camera/computer and record with Hooke Lav. Lav A connects wirelessly to Lav B and B pumps audio into the phone lightning port/Micro USB slot via a 3.5mm cable.
Use one LAV to record alone in Solo Mode or pair with a second for 2-channel input in Duet Mode.
Duet Mode is perfect for interviews, podcasts and more. Place Hooke Lav mics on two different interviewees and record their vocals respectively, and both recordings will transmit to the smartphone in real-time, mixed together with the video automatically
Whether you’re vlogging on a busy street, recording a podcast in your basement or meeting in Zoom, Hooke Lav gives you freedom to move and still be perfectly heard.
If a device is meant to be worn, it should look like it. Hooke Lav was designed with intention to be discreet, lightweight, and honestly, a little sexy. Brushed steel, secure clip, durable makeup...what’s not to LAV
In a world where content is king, your sound matters more than ever. Your creations should be more than “played back” or heard. They should be felt and experienced!
Hooke Lav gives you the power to capture vivid, studio-grade sound over Bluetooth without breaking the bank. No expensive wires and equipment to set up, just a clip-on mic and app download and you’re ready to record on your favorite devices.
Technological advances in photo and video have enabled us to record our lives vividly through filters and advances in image processing. But what about sound? Poor quality audio means that only half of the story is being told. It’s time to enable our smartphones to record audio like we actually hear it.
Hooke Audio was founded in 2014 by Anthony Mattana, who started his career in sound as a theatrical sound designer and composer. Cited by Live Design Magazine as “Young Designer to Watch,” Mattana is a professional at telling stories through sound in both large and small-scale productions. At the tender age of 25, determined to bring the professional audio tools he had access to in the theatre to smartphones, he invented Hooke Audio, a recording platform designed to change the way we record the world.
Our team is made up of designers, engineers and artists with 20+ years experience in sales, marketing, audio, software and hardware. Our Board of Advisors has 30+ years in music, sound, tech and investing, as well.
Hooke Audio's first product Hooke Verse has been referred to as ‘the GoPro for sound.’ Having presented at Midem, NAMM, SXSW, Northside, CES, Taiwan Beats, NYVR Expo and various VR meet-ups as the audio thought leaders in the VR and 3D audio space since 2014. Hooke Audio has been featured in Fast Company, Digital Trends, Wired, Tech Crunch, Recording Magazine, Pro Sound Magazine and Gizmodo.

RGKit Play ( Review) is a product of Argineering
RGKit Play is a product of Argineering. We’re an award-winning startup reimagining the way the creative industry connects with people. Our US patent-pending technology has been used globally by luxury brands and top creative agencies to create interactive experiences and displays, from Hermès, Selfridges, Jelmoli, Charles Tyrwhitt and more.
Now it’s time for us to branch out and offer our services to all individuals in the global community, it’s time to RGKit Play.
RGKit Play: Play with movement like a pro
A motion control kit that lets you add tons of movements to your design, camera and light, instantly.
We took RGKit Play to the studio to see what we can video shoot in an hour. Several hours and a bunch of videos later we came up with some pretty cool stuff we want to share with you. Check out our full series of videos in our updates.
The first-ever modular wireless kit of motors, light controller and sensors that lets you add tons of movements to your design, instantly. With a phone app that makes the whole process quick and smooth. Move your camera, animate your origami, automate your stop motion, or build your own interactive installation.
All you have to do is plug the modules to a power source and they will automatically sense each other and connect to your phone. That’s really it! You don’t have to worry about wiring or setting up complex electronics. On RGKit App, you can choose between two modes: Manual Mode & Auto Mode. In Manual Mode, you can control all the modules in real time, and in Auto Mode you can create a sequence of movements, and when you click play the sequence automatically starts. With RGKit Play App, you can start slow and go fast, stop suddenly or ease into a new movement. Play around with the parameters; speed, acceleration, duration, delay, and a lot more. All with zero lines of code!
You can orchestrate an entire sequence of movements and set it to the fraction of second, then take a video like this without the hassle. With all the complex electronics and coding out of the picture, all you will need is RGKit App’s drag-and-drop interface.
Picture this: everything on set moves in synchronization, then the only thing still would be you. Multiple motors for your light, subject and camera completely in sync and entirely controlled by you through RGKit Play App.
Move your camera in a perfect circle around your subject. That’s not all! Sync the camera movement with other subjects’ movement to shoot the perfect moment, with all its details.
With built-in motion stability features, RGKit Play produces the smoothest movement, so you could eliminate jitters, and shoot videos like a pro. And with RGKit App you will have high precision in distance, time and speed. The Camera Slider carries up to 5kg (11 lbs) and moves at a speed of 5 cm (2″)/second. But there is more to that! RGKit Play is modular with lots of accessories to choose from, the idea is you can play around with them and use their unique capabilities. So according to the type of movement you choose or accessories you use, you can move even more.
Stop motion just got quicker! Connect RGKit Play to your stop motion app and automize the whole process. While triggering the camera to take a shot, control your subject’'s or camera’s movement to automatically move and stop in the duration you decide.
It's very simple! Mount RGKit Play's modules and accessories to your design or camera. Drag and drop on RGKit App to customize your movements. Play with movement like a pro.
With the variety of options in RGKit Play's accessories you will get to create the movements you want and all of this with just one motor. Move back and forth or up and down, go in circles, pull, push, lift...you name it.

Go a step further and make your design interactive! With RGKit Play’s Touch sensor your design reacts to you and moves accordingly. You can place the sensor under surfaces like wood, glass, plastic and paper and it will detect your touch through the surface.
"I have always wanted to move the designs that I draw. I’d imagine my own Zada’s interactive village. Seriously, seeing them move now it feels like they’re alive. It’s a very cool experience."
Farah Zada, Illustrator/Artist
There is a moment that we live for in every project, the moment a project finally comes to life. We want you to experience that easily. We want every creative to be able to create movement in their projects instantly. Less time on the technicalities, more time for creative freedom. Time to RGKit Play.
"I played a bit with electronics and coding when I was in university and always wanted to learn more but I never had the time to enter this whole foreign world of coding again. RGKit made it so easy to take this step, the whole setting up of the electronics and figuring out how the software works took 10 minutes! Which gives me time to focus more on my ideas, I think it’s a great kit to help you prototype things super fast! And now I can turn my work into physical pieces that people can enjoy off screen too!"
