The Analogue Nt mini wants to be the last NES you'll ever buy

The Analogue Nt mini wants to be the last NES you’ll ever buy

Trying to play an NES cartridge on Nintendo’s original, 30-year-old hardware can be an exercise in frustration. The console’s ancient composite cables offer terrible image quality on modern televisions, and getting games to actually run is a ballet of reseating, jostling and, of course, blowing on game cartridges.

M&D’s wireless MW50 headphones aren’t perfect, but they sound great

Master & Dynamic has dabbled in wireless sound before, but big cans like the MW60s aren’t always the most convenient to lug around. People’s needs change when it’s time to pack up our gear and venture out into the world, and that’s why the company recently released a new set of wireless headphones: the on-ear MW50s.

Epson's new scanner resurrected my childhood memories

Epson’s new scanner resurrected my childhood memories

My mother likes to post old scanned photos of me on Facebook. Baby me in a clown costume. Toddler me looking grumpy, having just woken up from a nap. My brother and me looking like tiny British royals on Easter Sunday. These photos are embarrassing but not necessarily for obvious reasons. I don’t mind people knowing I was a child.

A 'Hi-Fi' Bluetooth adapter doesn't help Plantronics' new headphones

OnePlus' Icon earbuds are solid but overhyped

My commute to Engadget's New York office sucks. At around two hours on a good day, it's far worse than any of my colleagues' (Terrence's is pretty bad too, but it also involves post-work beers on a ferry, so he wins). My enthusiasm for headphones, th...
