Britta O'Boyle

Britta O’Boyle is a technology journalist with over 15 years of experience writing across web and print. She's covered everything from speakers, smart home and beauty to phones, tablets and fitness devices. 

Before writing about consumer technology, she was deputy editor at a kitchens and bathrooms magazine, writing about everything from wall-hung toilets to speaker positioning in the home.

She has a First Class Honours degree in Fashion Journalism from the University of the Arts London and she spent 10 years as deputy editor of technology site Pocket-lint before becoming a freelance journalist.

As a freelance journalist, she co-founded her own site, The Disconnekt, and you'll find her byline on reviews, explainers, roundups and expert tips across technology and interiors within various publications from The Telegraph and British GQ, to the Metro and Good Housekeeping. 

She’s passionate about technology that makes people’s lives easier and better, and knows her way around the latest speakers just as well as smartwatches and hairdryers. 

She’s also been a guest on a number of radio stations, including BBC Radio, Siren FM and Academy FM, as well as podcasts including the Big Tech Show Podcast.

Inside her home, you'll find a Sonos speaker in every room, so if you want tips on using that multi-room audio system, she's the girl to ask, though she has experience across all the major brands, from Bose and JBL to Sony, Samsung and Sennheiser.
