It has been close to 3 years since the first review/article was posted on this site, and it has really been an amazing journey working with a wide variety of brands and testing out many different products. Here at Tech Jio, we aim to provide in-depth look at product so that you can have a better impression of what it is like before you make that purchase decision.
Of course, we aren’t able to get every product that we want to test. So, it is always good to refer to other reviewers to get an alternative opinion. Below are sites/channels which are recommended:
Audio
For all things audio – true wireless earbuds, speakers, headphones, etc.
Music Photo Life
Music Photo Life is run by Chester Tan, and he actually does produce music. So, if you need someone who is able to explain the technicalities of how the earbuds or speaker sound, he is probably the best guy for the job. He is very well established in the tech blogging scene in Singapore as seen with multiple collaborations by large brands such as Sennheiser, Bose, and Sony, to name a few. His articulation of the audio experience of the product is highly accurate and easy to understand.

Scarbir
Scarbir‘s website is very niche in the sense that the test earbuds costs less than $150. If you are looking for budget true wireless earbuds or want to find a gem in the sea of earbuds, Scarbir is the place to go. He also features a leaderboard so it is really useful if you like to compare one against another. His reviews are very well structured as well so it is easy to follow and read.

Picky Audio
Picky Audio is run by James Dimento, and he covers main true wireless earbuds that are not commonly covered in Singapore. The level of detail that James goes into for each earbud is very respectable, so much so that you almost have a good sense of what the earbuds will sound like. If you like detailed reviews, Picky Audio is one of the rare few YouTubers who does such videos.

Gaming
Gears such as headphones, mice, mousepad, monitors, and more.
The Techne
Techne does a wide variety of tech coverage, such as audio, but seems to have more on gaming products. His videos are on the longer side of things, but that is for good reason. This is because he takes his time to go in-depth and tries to communicate all the factors that will affect the user experience of the product.

Boardzy
Boardzy mainly review gaming mice and mousepads. As he has tested many many gaming mice, he is able to provide a comparative opinion when he tests a new mice/mousepad. So, when he talks about mouse clicks for example, he can give comparisons against other mice. Also, he is brutally honest and is rather entertaining to watch as well.

Optimum Tech

His testing on PC parts and gaming gear are in-depth and he also does many comparisons to better provide context on how one fares against another.

Mechanical Keyboards
New hype but there is a lot to learn than just putting parts together to form a keyboard.
Keybored
Keybored is a YouTube channel run by Scott, and the channel name suggests, he posts all things mechanical keyboard. If you’re new to the hobby, his channel is a great place to start learning details on switches, stabilizers, and get exposed to the different boards available in the market. Keybored‘s videos are entertaining to watch and he puts in a lot of effort in testing especially when it comes to switches. He is also rather adept at modding, and was probably the first person who brought out the ‘force-break’ mod for the Keychron Q1 to reduce the pinging noise.

Shoobs
Videos of Shoobs are entertaining to watch as well, and he does explore a wide variety of boards and test out switches as well. If you’re new to the hobby, you can learn new terms and concepts such as plateless boards which can help you find your preference in a keyboard. He is quite good at articulating the feel of switches and how the board feels when typing.
