Why do you need an external microphone for your iThing? Well, if you’re an average user, you probably don’t. But if you’re a journalist, researcher, musician, student or podcaster, the Mikey Digital might just be the gadget for you.

As the name of the website should make obvious, we do a lot of downloading here at Digitally Downloaded, and the Christmas period is the most busy of all. With the size of the games getting ever larger, space to store everything has become an increasing challenge.

This is moreso with the Wii U than any other console. The console only came with 32GB of space, meaning that a couple of Virtual Console games and, say, Deus Ex, will alone fill the internal hard drive. So when I grabbed the WD My Book, my immediate thought was to turn it into the Wii U's "real" storage drive.

Ouch. Over the course of the last week I’ve cycled up hills, climbed stairs and lifted weights. I’ve run for miles and walked for several more. I’ve even been to the gym. Who would have guessed that gadget testing could be so painful?

The cause of this anguish is the Scosche RHYTHM, an app-based heart-rate monitor for iOS and Android. It’s a little different to your average fitness gadget: here, a moisture-resistant pulse sensor is worn on the forearm and the analysis work is done via a Bluetooth connection to your phone or iPod. It’s a setup that’s less constricting than a traditional chest-strap, and it allows a few simple controls to be housed in the sensor itself. These don’t go much further than a status LED, an on/off switch and controls for your music player, but it’s a comfortable arrangement that makes everything accessible when you need it.

In the last couple of years "the Cloud" has gone from a marketing term for something that technology vendors have tried to sell to big corporations to something that everyone understands. Thanks to Sony offering players the ability to keep their game saves safe even if their console dies courtesy of the PSPlus Cloud, to handy tools such as Dropbox, and the likes of Microsoft and Google offering word processors and spreadsheets online via "Drives" people now understand what Clouds are and do.

But setting up your own Cloud? That's something a bit new, and it's exactly what Western Digital is offering with the My Cloud storage drives. In concept Network Attached Storage (NAS) at consumer prices is not something new, but a NAS drive that lets mums, dads, and goldfish to set up an manage a personal cloud is something that I haven't really come across before.

After plenty of build-up over the last half year, both the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One have finally released. We took a look at the PlayStation 4 last week, and you can see our review of it here. Now that we have had a chance to put the Xbox One through its paces, it is time to share those early impressions.

Do you own a Bluetooth speaker? If not, I confidently predict that you’ll have one by Christmas. They’re this year’s seasonal gadget of choice, and they vary from pocket-sized gizmos to full hi-fi replacements. The Divoom Onbeat-200 falls somewhere in the middle: it’s mid-price, mid-spec and mid-performance. But there’s one area in which it has few equals: for its size, this thing is LOUD.

Back when the Wii was the bee's knees, Wii Fit was a revelation. For a relatively small investment in a balance board consumers got access to a fun little package of fitness minigames that genuinely offered a basic fitness regime that could help people lose weight free of any sensation of embarrassment they might feel from the comfort of their homes.

Glorious, glorious plastic. If it can work for the iPhone then it can work for this, the latest in Mad Catz’ range of Pro Gaming keyboards. Previous models – the jaw-dropping STRIKE7, and the built-like-a-brick STRIKE5 – employed a hefty frame with a matte non-slip coating. The STRIKE3 laughs at such excess. Shiny plastic is all you need. Shiny plastic is the future.

The idea that headsets need to have dedicated purposes (enterprise work, listening to music, gaming), has always struck me as a little strange. Why not just release the one product that has a feature set that can appeal to everyone? Is it really that difficult to make a headset that can be used on mobile devices when out and about, on consoles, on PCs and for more serious work?

Apparently so, because it's taken until the Rig for me to find a product that actually works across all those functions. See, the Rig comes with a little hub thing that hooks up to consoles or their PC, and through that hub players have all kinds of options for the way they'd like to play.

Only the laziest of writers would quote from a press release in the first paragraph of their review. So, now that we know where we stand, here’s what SteelSeries have to say about their Flux In-Ear Pro headset:
