Creative Sound Blaster Roar (SR20A)
MRP: Rs 16,000

Creative has been in the home audio scene since quite some time. For those of you who have had PCs around a couple of decades back, Creative was the only quality option for a multimedia pack consisting of a CD-ROM drive, SoundBlaster sound card, and 2.0 stereo desktop speakers. The company has come a long way since then but it still produces some of the best audio equipment. Changing with the times, the company has got a series of portable Bluetooth speakers to cater to the mobile consumer. The Sound Blaster Roar was released earlier this year, representing the pinnacle of this series and is the de facto flagship in this category. Like all flagships, this one also comes at its premium pricing. Whether or not it’s worth the buy has been covered in this review, so read on.

Review: Brother DCP-T500W

Brother DCP-T500W

MRP: Rs 12,150

It seems like every printer manufacturer is on the “separate ink tanks” bandwagon, and Brother is no exception.

The DCP-T500W also targets SoHo consumers, but it has features such as a considerably affordable pricing, wireless connectivity, and photo printing that should also entice home users. I had a chance to review the unit. So let’s find out how well it fares.
