The Marshall Kilburn III is built for portability, comfort, and style

Available June 10

When I was younger, owning a chunky Marshall speaker was a dream that fitted well with my penchant for hard rock at the time. For a while now, Marshall has gone beyond niche and is offering something for everyone. If you had the same dreams as I did, the brand has just announced the Kilburn III, a portable wireless speaker tailored for your budget.

Compared to gigantic Woburn series, the Kilburn III is built for portability. Users can take it with them to any party or road trip. It doesn’t need to be a clean and dry party, either. With IP54 dust and water resistance, the speaker can withstand the occasional splash or spill.

The speaker’s battery is touted with over 50 hours of playtime on a single charge, which stands over more than double the longevity of its predecessor. Additionally, it can also act as a portable battery; users can charge their devices just by connecting it to the Kilburn III.

For audio quality, the Kilburn III boasts true stereophonic sound. Users can hear everything that the speaker can offer, regardless of where they’re standing from the speaker. The speaker has tactile controls for dynamic loudness, allowing users to adjust every element of the sound without compromising quality.

Finally, the Kilburn III comes with a carrying strap lined with velvet. Besides portability, the speaker maximizes comfort and style while being carried around.

Until June 9, users can preorder the speaker through Marshall’s store on Lazada. Preordering customers will get a free pair of Marshall Major IV. After the preorder period, customers can grab the speaker from Digital Walker, Beyond the Box, and open_source.

The Kilburn III is available in Black & Brass, with a Cream option coming soon. It costs PhP 21,990.

This gaming mouse made me fall in love with working from home again

The Razer Basilisk Mobile may be built for play, but it excels at work!

Published

Razer Basilisk Mobile

After months of living out of a suitcase, I found myself home again. You’d think staying in one place would feel easier, but I realized how restless I’d become.

I’ve built a life around movement. I like feeling in control. Maybe that’s why when I started setting up my workspace again, the Razer Basilisk Mobile immediately felt like the right fit.

It’s called “mobile,” but it found its purpose in my quietude.

Small things that carry weight

The Razer Basilisk Mobile isn’t intimidating like most gaming gear. It doesn’t scream for attention with flashing lights or aggressive angles.

It’s compact enough to sit quietly beside my laptop, yet sturdy in the hand, like it knows what it’s capable of.

Razer took its fan-favorite ergonomic design and scaled it down for people who need comfort without clutter.

It fits perfectly under my palm during long writing sessions and when I’m deep in photo edits. It’s light enough to move effortlessly.

And because it’s wireless, my desk finally looks clean and ready for whatever kind of workday I’m about to have.

Razer Basilisk Mobile

A mouse that adapts to how you think

The Basilisk Mobile has 10 customizable controls, which, on paper, sound like overkill for a writer and creative director.

But after a week of using it, I started wondering how I ever worked without them.

Razer designed these buttons for gamers who need split-second reactions. I use them for something more… domestic.

Copy-paste shortcuts, switching tabs, launching Photoshop, or even triggering my AI note app with a single click.

It’s called the AI Prompt Master, but in my world, it’s a creativity launcher.

Razer Basilisk Mobile

It feels like this mouse understands the kind of multitasking life I lead. That I can go from reviewing layouts to color-grading photos and videos, and somehow still keep my hand relaxed and my workflow seamless.

Maybe, that’s what I love most about it? It’s built for play, but it excels at work.

Endurance I can count on

I’ve always believed endurance is a love language. Maybe because I’ve built my own around it.

I’ve raced through obstacle courses and weathered deadlines, and still managed to show up again at work the next day.

Razer Basilisk Mobile

That’s probably why I respect gadgets that stay the course. The Razer Basilisk Mobile runs up to 105 hours on HyperSpeed Wireless and 180 hours on Bluetooth.

For context, that’s weeks of work without charging and when it does need a quick top-up, 10 minutes gives you 7 hours of power.

Precision that feels personal

There’s a state of flow when every click and scroll just feels right. The Basilisk Mobile understands that beat certainly.

Its 18K DPI optical sensor keeps everything precise, whether I’m fine-tuning an image in Lightroom or browsing through hundreds of thumbnails. It moves exactly how I want it to.

Razer Basilisk Mobile

The Razer HyperScroll wheel might be my favorite part. You can switch between two modes: Tactile for that satisfying, notched scroll that makes you feel in control, and Free-spin for when you want to breeze through pages or scripts in seconds.

It’s smooth and accurate. You don’t always notice it, but it’s what makes everything else work.

The kind of comfort that grows on you

Some gadgets take time to get used to. Others feel right from the start. The Basilisk Mobile belongs to the latter.

Its buttons have a crisp, responsive feel, thanks to Razer’s Gen-3 Optical Switches, rated for 90 million clicks.

That’s overkill, sure, but it means I’ll probably grow old with this mouse before it ever gives up.

The 100% PTFE feet glide effortlessly across my mousepad, making even small movements soundless.

It’s a small thing, but it adds to the peace of my workspace

Is the Razer Basilisk Mobile your GadgetMatch?

The longer I used it, the more I realized something. The Razer Basilisk Mobile might be built for gamers, but it found its home with people like me: those who live in the overlap of focus and fatigue.

It’s the kind of device that doesn’t care where you use it. You can edit a highlight reel or write a story. This mouse will be right there with you when you want to feel productive again at your own desk.

Razer Basilisk Mobile

Swipe right if you have the bucks to spare for a performance mouse that really works and makes your day-to-day easier.

Swipe left if you want your device to match a specific home office palette or prefer something simpler and more affordable. After all, the Razer Basilisk Mobile retails for PhP 5,995.

When I first unboxed it, I thought it would be the mouse I’d take with me when I travel. Turns out, it’s the one that made me stay productive while staying at home.

It taught me that performance isn’t always about speed or reaction time. Sometimes, it’s about stability. It’s about clicking through your day and creating something that feels like you.

And if that’s not gaming energy, I don’t know what is.

Samsung Sound Tower, Sound Sessions: When great sound meets great music

OPM takes the spotlight

Published

on

Samsung Sound Tower | Sound Sessions

I grew up surrounded by OPM. I spent years dreaming of being in a band and listening to songs I wish I wrote, which is why I appreciate it when brands highlight local talent instead of relying on specs alone. Samsung’s new Sound Towers arrive with that same approach—powerful audio paired with an even stronger push for Filipino music.

Instead of a standard tech launch, Samsung turned the debut of its latest Sound Towers into a celebration of OPM. Guests didn’t just hear product features; they heard live performances from Over October and The Itchyworms. For anyone (like me) who grew up with the latter, hearing their songs carried by deep, room-filling audio felt like the perfect match between familiarity and innovation.

Built for people who live through music

The ST50F and ST40F are made for moments when sound needs to fill a space and set the tone. The ST50F comes with a telescopic handle, built-in wheels, and up to 18 hours of battery life. You can bring it anywhere and still get the same bold, thumping sound. Its custom bass modes and adjustable party lights let you shape the atmosphere until it matches the playlist.

The ST40F leans into creativity. It has built-in DJ sound effects and samplers, plus ports for microphones and guitars for instant jam sessions. And when you want something bigger, Group Play links up to ten Sound Towers into a shared soundstage that feels like a small concert.

Both towers work with the Samsung Sound Tower App, so you can adjust settings, control the lights, or switch into Karaoke Mode straight from your phone.

Where hardware becomes a platform

Samsung followed the launch with Samsung Sound Sessions, an ongoing digital series that highlights top Filipino artists. The pilot features Over October, with more acts—including The Itchyworms—set to take the stage next.

The idea is simple: pair great music with great audio, then let the artists carry the experience. Instead of showing what the Sound Towers can do, Samsung lets you hear it through musicians you already connect with. For OPM fans, it turns the hardware into a platform that amplifies talent rather than eclipsing it.

Sound built to bring people together

Samsung’s new Sound Towers bring back the feeling of sharing music—whether it’s a weekend gathering or a living room turned into a stage. They can be loud and energetic or warm and intimate. They match the many moods and eras of Filipino music.

Razer unveils Esports Green Collection

Bold new color for Razer’s elite peripherals

Razer has officially unveiled the new Esports Green Collection, a bold new colorway across the brand’s elite competitive peripherals.

These products, which are favored by top esports athletes for titles like VALORANT, Counter-Strike 2, Call of Duty, Street Fighter, and more, are now available in Razer’s signature green.
