How NSG earns a recommendation.

We start with the technology, not the product. If we can't explain why a specification matters, we don't use it to judge gear.

We use repeatable, real-world testing wherever practical. When testing isn't possible, we say so and rely on cited sources.

Manufacturer-supplied samples are disclosed on the relevant page. A sample does not guarantee coverage or a positive outcome.

Some pages contain affiliate links. Affiliate compensation does not determine our editorial conclusions or recommendations.

When we're wrong, we correct the record promptly and note what changed.

Published work is updated as products, specifications, or our understanding changes. Update dates are shown.

Opinions are clearly distinguished from tested findings. We label them as such.
