All music audio tests were carried out using Spotify for mobile and desktop. Sound Quality As expected from the Momentum range the bass performance on the in-ear model is powerful. Out of the box it’s clear that balance and clarity took precedence...

Review By Anna Power The rough poetry of a no frills easyjet flight could not be in starker contrast to the tranquil, sumptuous streets of Paris’ Latin Quarter and the urban-chic boutique hotel La Lanterne, nestled neatly within its winding cobbled streets. Peppered with independent bookshops, art house cinemas and Parisian markets, it’s impossible not to be swept off your feet by the sheer romance of this most picturesque, effortlessly cool part of Paris. La Lanterne could almost be missed,...

Kyla Mandel Editor of Desmog UK has been investigating the hidden contriving between shady fossil fuel lobbyists, prominent climate deniers, secretive think tanks, false news propagandists and government figures to subvert the unprecedented global consensus to tackle climate change of the Paris Agreement signed last year to achieve a crucial reduction in global warming. Let’s face it, Donald Trump could pull out of the Paris climate deal any day now and the UK could soon be left without any European environmental regulation...

In Prevenge, Alice Lowe revisits the familiar grisly kill territory of Ben Wheatley’s brilliantly understated film Sightseers, which she co-wrote and starred in alongside Steve Oram. Directed, written and starring Lowe herself in the principle role, Prevenge is a hilarious black comedy charting the adventures of a heavily pregnant woman on a remorseless killing spree. Despite lacking the perfectionist skills of Laurie Rose’s exquisite cinematography, the film has a similar narrative tone to Sightseers and deals with similar themes of...
