Inexpensive but decently stylish SVEN HP 50 WD Headphones and their «twin brother» equipped with microphone, SVEN HM 50 WD Headset, had a fair impression on us. Combination of modern and retro elements in outward appearance and wooden ear-cups of classical shape variegates a lineup of standard plastic computer peripherals while decent sound performance makes the devices fit not only for Skype conferences, but also for music playback. Thanks to simple but comfortable design of the headphones you may have them on for a long time.

Like the more expensive model with digital indicators, SVEN AVR-1000 deserves our exceedingly high estimate. The AVR is made in a reliable metal case, and a good quality transformer allows any consumer to operate in a very wide input voltage range from 100 to 2800 V. The model can be bought for a bit more than $40, and it’s quite a good price for a 1000 VA device.

The system is an excellent modern solution for organizing a home theatre or a stereo system on the basis of a workstation or a laptop, needing minimum space and providing maximum quality. And the elegant subwoofer will add reality to the sound and won’t let you down at a critical moment.

An indispensible device for apartments with old wiring, summer houses, small laboratories for precise medical or technical research with high-precision measuring equipment used, for extending operation life of household appliances and electronics.

To sum it up, we can say that two out of three AVRs we have discussed today have made a very good impression. We liked SVEN AVR-1000 LCD due to the complex of factors. It’s an inexpensive, simple and reliable device. The model is produced in a metal case, the transformer windings change over practically instantly, and the output voltage remains normal even if the input characteristics range from 100 to 280 W. One should understand that very few voltage regulators can operate at such low input voltage, and here SVEN AVR-1000 LCD is beyond competition. An important fact is that in normal operating conditions no considerable heating is observed, and this is another plus to reliability and long operation life.
