Spelling Bee

Spelling Bee will offer a raft of audio editing tools designed to maximise your power and build an effect library. It all sounds pretty impressive for a PC and seems to offer the same basic options found on the HiQuarter.

If you’re new to coding, then the app’s whole interface is rather basic, and not in a good way. But if you’ve got a hard time remembering what you need to do, the C1 can do just that. You can choose one of 10 customiseable presets to help with other key tasks and effects, including tweaking the audio and effects of selected sound effects.

The interface is divided into sections that offer a number of button-counts, including various input presets, keyframing, all audio-only and convertor, a power saving mode, multi-track project, and full manual control.

There’s also an ‘Y’ button that enables you to select and reorder individual presets and effects, the ability to customise its appearance and preferences, and more.

The interface is simple and intuitive, with a minimalist design, a glossy color scheme and plenty of features. This includes everything you need to configure your project, including control over sound, controls, image parameters, and video and video aspects.

You can also make adjustments to key sound effects and effects by choosing a preset, such as Cinematic Mode, which is available in both Mac and Windows. However, it's worth noting that this feature has no effect on audio and video, so you'll have to wait for your input before you can use it.

Perhaps the most noteworthy feature of the YNR920 is its support for Dolby Atmos, a format that’s now been adopted by the likes of Netflix and Dolby Vision, meaning it’s available in any format, not just Dolby Vision – but also HDR10, HDR10+, and HLG formats.

As you'd expect, the YNR920 supports Atmos, which means it can get virtual Atmos sound, with positioning of objects around you on-screen at different times of the day, or the ability to create an Atmos object as you fall down a mountain. In addition, Dolby Vision also works with a wide range of soundbars, including some LG and Samsung models.

While we're on the topic of audio, there’s another feature worth mentioning: its noise cancellation. This is designed to be easy to set up – you just need to be close to your device, and a simple little button press will cancel the noise.

If you’re looking for a cheap, entry-level noise cancelling headphones that doesn’t feel as good as your average headphones, we think these are an ideal choice.

The YNR920 comes with a wired connection to the Sony WH-1000XM3, but the wireless headphones are even more capable at up to 70 hours of battery life on a single charge – we found they worked best with the included USB-C cable in the box.

We have to agree, though, that most customers won't be able to tell which headphones to buy at this price.

The two main specs you’ll find in the YNR920 are its battery life and quality of life.

Interface: Bluetooth 5.1 | Wireless connection: USB-C | Battery Life: 6 hours **6 hours **5 hours**

Like its competitors, the Sony WH-1000XM3 headphones are designed with noise-cancelling in mind. This means they can be used in the office, in the road, or while travelling – and they can be placed inside your ear or on a table.

You're getting a decent battery life here, with up to 70 hours of playback. The headphones also offer an ambient mode, so you don't disturb anyone, or you can adjust the volume in the app.

In terms of audio quality, the Sony WH-1000XM3 headphones offer clear audio performance, but it's not enough to take advantage of your voice.

Sony has also equipped the headphones with a 3D soundscape software, which makes it possible to make use of a 3D soundscape function, and it can be set to turn the headphones on or off automatically.

So, how does it do? Well, it offers three different modes. The default is the ambient mode, which offers a sound that is tuned to the outside world (you know, when you're listening to people you don't want to hear) and when you're using it, it will sound even better with just the ambient noise setting turned off.

You're also getting Bluetooth 5.0 (but not the aptX HD codec found on the Sony WH-1000XM3), and Sony's latest battery-powered smart assistant, Shengblad.
