Review: Wave T5 wireless lavalier microphone
The Maono Wave T5 wireless lavalier microphone is a compact and versatile audio solution tailored for content creators, vloggers, and mobile journalists.
With a feature-rich design and competitive pricing, although missing some of the true high-end options, it offers a compelling alternative to higher-priced competitors.
The microphone delivers 48 kHz/24-bit resolution with an 80dB signal-to-noise ratio and a maximum SPL of 120dB, which I found offered clear and detailed recordings suitable in as many environments asI could test it.
It's equipped with AI-powered noise cancellation featuring 14 adjustable levels across three modes (weak, moderate and strong), allowing you to tailor the audio capture to their surroundings. You also have four sound coloration presets to choose from - vocal, magnetic, warm, and bright - and customize vocal tone and presence.
Battery life is where the T5 really shines, each transmitter provides up to nine hours of use, with the included charging case extending total usage time to around 30 hours.
Wireless range is also pretty impressive, using 2.4GHz digital frequency hopping technology to maintain a stable connection up to 300 meters (in the line of sight).
Review: Wave T5 wireless lavalier microphone
The T5 includes three receiver types - USB-C, Lightning, and 3.5mm TRS - which makes it compatible with a wide range of devices, including smartphones, tablets, laptops, and cameras. Functions like 'click to mute' and 'hold to shoot' can be activated via the Maono Link app for real-time monitoring and adjustments.
There's a lot to like about the T5 and you get a comprehensive accessory bundle included lanyards, carrying pouch and hard-shell case, but there are a couple of shortcomings. There is no onboard storage for standalone recording, while it lacks advanced features like safety track recording found in some rivals.
However, the T5 stands out as a cost-effective and feature-rich wireless lavalier microphone system. Its combination of high-quality audio, extensive compatibility, and user-friendly design makes it a worthy choice for creators seeking professional results without too hefty a price tag.
Maono Wave T5 wireless lavalier microphone is currently available via Amazon for £99 (£20 off).
What users say
"The Maono Wave T5 Wireless Lavalier Microphone stands out as a versatile and high-performing audio solution tailored for content creators, videographers, podcasters, and professionals seeking studio-quality sound in a compact form factor."
"I like that the recorders are also fairly small and non-invasive. They stay on okay and don't fall off easily when knocked. Good that it works with both Samsung and Apple as the majority I have reviewed before only work on iPhone. Feels solid quality. Only comment is it's a bit pricy for a recorder, but high quality overall."

12 best Father's Day gifts on Amazon for the dad who has everything
Being faced with a ton of brands can actually make finding the best Father's Day gift overwhelming. This is what makes Amazon so helpful when you're in a dilemma: The retailer has a varied lineup of ideas for Father's Day gifts, including ones across categories like tech, small kitchen appliances, apparel and much more, many of which are on sale and eligible for expedited shipping with a Prime membership. Plus, Amazon sells products from top brands like Apple, Anker, Lego and other NBC Select favorites. The holiday falls on June 15 this year, and Amazon also has a disclaimer confirming if your gift will arrive before Father's Day. Below, we rounded up the best Father's Day gifts on Amazon to consider this year. The best Amazon Father's Day gift ideas in 2025 Below, I've rounded up the best Father's Day gift ideas on Amazon for each and every type of father, including products we've reviewed in the past along with some NBC Select staff favorites. Be sure to check shipping times to confirm that your gift will arrive on time and avoid showing up to the celebrations empty handed. Gifts under $50 There are a lot of true crime fans on our team at NBC Select, so I can say with authority that if your dad is an armchair detective himself (or just loves a good puzzle), he'll love this puzzle book from Murdle. It has 100 original murder mystery puzzles to help your dad get his detective fix without having to leave home. The puzzles include maps, codes, drawings and more — everything your dad needs to crack the code and solve the crime. If your dad is always on the move, consider getting him a portable charger to keep his devices fully charged while he's on the go. This powerbank from Anker (one of our favorite tech brands) is the go-to personal charger of NBC Select reporter Harry Rabinowitz, who says it saves him from stressing about his phone or earbud battery levels. Commerce editor Cory Fernandez also has this power bank and loves how quickly it charges his phone and Airpods and still has more battery left. It has a built-in USB-C cable (so no need to pack an extra charging cord), and is wallet-sized for easy transport. It can deliver up to two full charges for most smartphones, according to the brand. There's nothing my dad and brothers love more than a cozy pair of sweats, and this Father's Day you can give your dad his new favorite pair. These joggers from Hanes are made from a mid-weight fleece that's great for year-round wear, especially around the house, and have side-seam pockets along with a back pocket to help hold all of his essentials, according to the brand. They're also machine-washable on a cold cycle. MTEN Pickleball Set Nowadays, it feels like every tennis court has a space for pickleball, and now you can help your dad get in on the fun. This set comes with two USA Pickleball Association-approved paddles, made from a lightweight fiberglass and polypropylene material that helps to reduce vibrations and give your dad a stable strike on the court, according to the brand. The paddles also have ergonomic, sweat-absorbing handles, and come with four outdoor pickle balls, two grip tapes, and a carry bag to store everything in. Gifts under $100 Apple Airtag The Apple Airtag is our pick for the best iOS Bluetooth tracker for our NBC Select Travel Awards because of how easy to use and versatile it is. Rabinowitz says he uses his Airtags for every kind of travel, including short commutes and longer vacations. It pairs easily with Apple's FindMy app, which can help pinpoint the precise location of your tag within 30 feet, or the general location if it's outside of that range, according to the brand. Plus, Fernandez puts an Airtag in his wallet (with a holder) to prevent losing it when traveling abroad. This portable blender has a powerful motor that'll help to keep your father's mixtures smooth and consistent, and was also recommended to us by kitchen experts. It has a tumbler that fits two cups of ingredients, and includes two cups and lids to help store his smoothies, according to the brand. The blender's pieces are also top-rack dishwasher-safe. Everyone on our team knows by now how much I love my Lego sets, and if your dad is a Star Wars fan, he'll love this one too. It's a collectible model of the Millennium Falcon spaceship, including building instructions and 921 pieces of Lego bricks, according to the brand. While taking photos on your phone is quick and easy, this photo printer can help to make those memories last in a physical form as well. The printer connects to devices via Bluetooth, and includes a charging cable and a pack of Kodak photo paper, which is made using embedded dye crystals that remove the need for any expensive ink cartridges, according to the brand. Gifts $100 and up Amazon Kindle Paperwhite This is our pick for best overall e-reader because of its user-friendly design, and how easy and enjoyable it made reading — 'Using a Kindle single-handedly changed the way I read,' says NBC Select commerce editor Lindsay Schneider. The screen's brightness can be adjusted to your dad's preferred color settings, and the e-reader can also hold audiobooks (just in case your dad prefers to listen to his books instead). It's lightweight, compact and has no glare, making it the ideal pick for your favorite book-loving dad. This bird feeder is great for both bird watching experts and amateurs. It has a built-in battery and a camera with 1080P resolution, so your dad can view birds 24/7, according to the brand. It uses Wi-Fi connectivity that allows it to be installed without any outlets, and connects to the Birdfy app, which includes feeder footage and more. Aura Digital Picture Frame Digital photo frames are a great way to display memories, and this Aura frame is one of the very best. It's easy to set up using Wi-Fi, and your dad can easily add photos and videos from his phone to the frame using the Aura app, according to the brand. It has an HD display and unlimited storage, and your dad can also invite others to share photos to the frame as well. You can even pre-load the frame with your favorite family photos as a fun surprise for him to unwrap. Not only are these one of Sony's best over-ear headphones, they're also an NBC Select Wellness Awards winner. They're lightweight and comfortable with a great sound quality, and can last for up to 30 hours with a fully-charged battery, according to the brand. The headphones also have a very powerful active noise cancellation setting. Why trust NBC Select? I'm an associate SEO reporter at NBC Select who has given dozens of gift ideas for a variety of holidays and occasions, including the best zodiac gifts, aesthetic gifts, and fun-size gifts. For this article, I researched products across shopping categories on Amazon like tech, wellness, kitchen, outdoors and more, including previously-covered NBC Select staff favorites, and compiled the best gifts for dads to consider this year.

By addressing past user concerns and introducing innovative features, Samsung aims to solidify its leadership in the foldable technology space. Watch this video on YouTube. Rebranding and Strategic Teasers Samsung's marketing campaign for its next foldable device has sparked considerable speculation about potential rebranding. The phrase 'next chapter of Ultra' prominently featured in teasers hints at a strategic alignment of the foldable series with the broader Galaxy Ultra lineup. This move could streamline branding while reinforcing the premium identity of the device. Although the exact name of the device remains uncertain, the teaser campaign emphasizes innovation and refinement. By aligning the foldable series with its flagship Ultra branding, Samsung is setting high expectations for the Galaxy Z Fold 7 Ultra.

Refined Design and Enhanced Usability The Galaxy Z Fold 7 Ultra is anticipated to feature a more polished and streamlined design, addressing key areas of improvement identified in earlier models.

Another significant upgrade is the enhanced S Pen functionality, which is likely to cater to professionals, creatives, and productivity-focused users. With improved precision and responsiveness, the S Pen will complement the device's larger, more immersive display. These refinements aim to position the Fold 7 Ultra as a versatile tool for both work and entertainment, bridging the gap between a smartphone and a productivity device. Performance: Power Meets Efficiency At the core of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 Ultra lies the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor, also referred to as Snapdragon 8 Elate.

These options cater to a diverse range of users, from those requiring ample space for multimedia and applications to professionals focused on productivity. In addition to storage options, the device is expected to be available in a selection of refined colors, including black, silver, and blue shadow. For users seeking a more personalized touch, Samsung may also offer bespoke customization options, allowing individuals to tailor the device to their unique preferences. This focus on personalization underscores Samsung's commitment to delivering a premium and user-centric experience. Launch Timeline and Market Strategy The Galaxy Z Fold 7 Ultra is slated to debut at Samsung's highly anticipated Unpacked event, scheduled for early July 2024. While New York City is the most likely venue, earlier rumors suggested Paris as a potential alternative. Regardless of the location, the event is expected to be a pivotal moment for Samsung as it continues to push the boundaries of foldable smartphone technology. By incorporating user feedback and introducing meaningful upgrades, Samsung is positioning the Fold 7 Ultra as more than just an incremental update. The device is designed to appeal to both loyal foldable users and those considering their first foldable purchase. With a focus on innovation, performance, and premium design, the Fold 7 Ultra aims to set new benchmarks in the foldable smartphone market.
