Cool stuff

We’re into February now, the days are getting a little longer, and because of that we’ve all got a bit more time to get out there and enjoy the world. So this month, we’re bringing you a good selection of items to check out that’ll help make this lighter time of year even better.

Beats Fit Pro £199

CHOOSING a good pair of wireless headphones can be tricky these days, what with the variety of options out there. Beats has established itself as one of the biggest names in the business and its new Fit Pro set are designed to rival the likes of Apple Airpod Pro.

With active noise-cancelling they’re great for travel, while a snug fit means you can use them for exercise as well. They’ve got up to six hours of battery life and are fully compatible with Apple or Android devices, too.

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra From £1,149

THE smartphone race shows no sign of slowing down, with every new model bringing huge advances in functionality and features.

Samsung’s Galaxy S22 Ultra has just been released and is the tiptop version of the new S22 line-up.

One of the biggest additions is an integrated stylus – or ‘S Pen’ – while a new, larger battery and fast charging mean that you shouldn’t need to worry about being on one per cent too often.

Suunto 5 Peak GPS watch £250

THE smartwatch market is alive and kicking, with models coming from all manner of types of technology companies.

The 5 Peak GPS watch from Suunto is one of the latest and, at £250, is one of the best value-for-money options, too.

It packs up to 100 hours of battery life per charge and includes more than 80 sport modes, so that you’re able to track your achievements no matter what activity you’re doing.

In addition, it boasts in-built navigation with 3D turn-by-turn instructions.

ALTHOUGH things are starting to get a little brighter, we’re still having to endure reasonably chilly mornings and evenings.

It’s this colder weather that can play havoc with a car’s battery and give it a tough time with starting your car.

A jump starter pack can be a handy solution to a car that won’t start. It’s particularly good if you haven’t got another vehicle to jump yours off, too.

Charged at home, this Silverline jump pack delivers quite a punch for such a small thing and can be used to charge USB devices, too.
