Cardo Wireless Scala-500 Headset Review

By Ian Bell Updated January 16, 2005

Quote from the review:

“The only aspect that is left to touchup on is the price. The Scala-500 is a flagship product from Cardo Systems and the manufacturer will surely make you realize that. This particular headset retails around $79.99, which makes it one of the most expensive in its category. Is the price justifiable? Most certainly! There are few products that truly deserve nothing but positive comments and recommendations regardless their price, and the Scala-500 happens to be one of those few. Clearly, the Scala-500 headset is not designed for everyone. It’s for those executives and users who must travel for one reason or another and need a comfortable headset with rechargeable capabilities.”

Does the Samsung Galaxy A54 have wireless charging?

The Samsung Galaxy A54 is Samsung's latest addition to its excellent midrange A-series smartphones. While we've yet to spend a good amount of time with it, we're optimistic this cut-price king is likely to be a great option if you want a smartphone for just $450. But what does the wireless charging situation look like?

A lower price often means some features end up on the cutting room floor, and wireless charging is often one of those features first on the cost-saving block. If you're a fan of the convenience of wireless charging, you'll want to make sure your new phone supports your favored charging method. So, does the Samsung Galaxy A54 have wireless charging?

Does the Samsung Galaxy S23 have wireless charging?

The Samsung Galaxy S23 series packs a slew of features. The phones offer bright AMOLED displays, cameras capable of a minimum of 30x zoom across the lineup, big batteries, and more. While the Galaxy S23 Ultra is the best from Samsung, the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23 Plus also pack top-notch features. But does the Galaxy S23 series have wireless charging?

It may seem like a no-brainer question, but it's an important one to ask. Some phones fully support wireless charging, while other phones — like the OnePlus 11 — don't have it at all.

I review phones for a living — here are the 10 apps I can’t live without

For most of my life, I think I’ve had a pretty unique career path among my family and friends. Ever since I got the original iPhone, I’ve turned my love for writing into writing about technology, specifically mobile phones. Though I’ve pretty much been iPhone-only for most of my career, since I started at Digital Trends, I’ve been opening up to the world of Android.

Now that I’m checking out both iPhone and Android phones, the world of apps for me has expanded quite a bit. But regardless of what device I’m using, there are some apps that I need before anything else. Here are the first apps that I install when I get a new phone.
