After the recent look at the Fenix LD30 Flashlight, Fenix contacted me and asked if I wanted to follow-up with their TK22 V2.0. This is also a 1600 lumen light, but it features a larger (21700 5000mAh) battery and a tighter beam that can reach out to an impressive 405 meters. It features a removable tail-cap that can work with remote pressure switches and it offers a bit better performance thanks to its increased size. Keep on reading and see how this compares to the LD30 we looked at previously.
Fenix TK22 1600 Lumen Tactical Flashlight & 21700 Battery
Fenix LD30 Flashlight - 1600 Lumens
The Fenix LD30 arrived in the mail the other day. I was asked if I would be willing to look at this light and after using a bunch of lights from China, I thought it would be nice to see how a brand-name flashlight compares in use, build quality and overall output when compared to cheaper knock-offs and other less-expensive torches.
In Canada, Fenix lights are priced in the no-mans-land: around $80 - $140, depending on what model and options you go for. This makes them appeal to a smaller market segment. While that may limit the amount of sales, it does put them in a category, that puts them in a market segment where they stand almost alone. There are more expensive flashlights from other brands, and there are a host of cheap alternatives. Fenix, however, fills a gap and promises great features, value and quality at about half the price of the ****fire lights up north.
Sennheiser MOMENTUM Wireless (M3)
It's been a long while since I’ve taken up keyboard and mouse and posted a review, but when Sennheiser offered me a chance to look at their Momentum 3, I had to dust off the keyboard, wipe the screen clean and give it my best college try. I've tested both the original Momentum, Momentum on-ear and the Momentum 2 headphones, so I was very interested to see where they went and how they could improve upon the previous versions.
According to the product brief, these are better due to the Bluetooth 5 capabilities as well as some great active noise cancellation. In addition to hardware upgrades, they feature some nice party tricks including auto-pause (when removed from your head), auto shut-off (when folded) and more. While those are nice upgrades, if they come at the cost of product quality, clarity or comfort, they may not be upgrades at all.
With the advertised MSRP of these headphones at $529.95 CDN or $399.95 USD, they certainly aren't cheap, and they run a bit more expensive than the likes of the Bose QuietComfort 35 II smart headphones and Sony WH-1000XM3 wireless noise cancelling headphones. Are they worth the money? We'll find out!

TP-Link Archer C5400X Router Walkthrough
Product: TP-Link Archer C5400X
Provided By: TP-Link
Price: $399.99 CAD at time of publication
We have posted a quick (well, somewhat) video of the interface of the TP-Link Archer C5400X MU-MIMO AC5400 Tri-Band Gaming Router. This video is simply a walk-through of the interface features and setup and shows off just what you are getting for your hard-earned money. The simple fact is that the router is incredibly powerful, extremely robust, blisteringly fast and wonderfuly simple. That being said, take a look for yourself to see how it all shakes down and shapes up.
Many thanks to TP-Link for sending this product our way for a look!
