I’ve had my Jawbone Jambox for well over a year, and I’ve loved it. It is small, easy to use, and it packs a punch! More recently I had the opportunity to review the Braven 600. It is about the same size, but it has a built-in battery that will also charge your mobile device [...]
New Potato TuneLink Home Wireless Streamer Review
Back in the spring of 2011, we reviewed New Potato’s TuneLink Auto Direct Connect Audio Solution for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad (Read the review, here.) At the time it was the perfect solution for me since I didn’t have Bluetooth in my car; the TuneLink easily added streaming to it. I’ve since leased a [...]
iHome iDM5 Bluetooth Keyboard Speaker System Review
Mike is in the midst of an iPad challenge to see if the tablet can serve as his 99% computer. (Read it, here!) The speed of the iPad 3 combined with the depth and breadth of the apps now available in the iTunes App Store make it easier to get to that 99% than ever [...]
Plantronics Voyager Legend Bluetooth Headset Review
My first Bluetooth headset sounded rather lousy, and it required a Bluetooth dongle be plugged into the phone itself since it did not have integrated BT. The headset also had a long boom that reached toward my mouth. It looked… dumb. When headsets began to appear that were tiny, dropped the boom and, as a [...]
SuperTooth MELODY Bluetooth Stereo Headphones Review
SuperTooth isn’t a well-known company here in the US. They should be. In Europe the company is extremely popular and, based on the SuperTooth Disco Bluetooth speaker we reviewed last year, they make come great products. Most recently, we’ve had a chance to check out the new SuperTooth MELODY Bluetooth Stereo headphones. These on-ear headphones [...]
Jabra Solemate Lets Your Music Go where You Go
I love my JawBone JamBox and use it all the time; I also love the various Jabra products we have reviewed over the last few years. I’ve been waiting and waiting for Jabra to step into the same space occupied by the JamBox and release a small yet powerful Bluetooth speaker. After all, the Jabra [...]
Dexim ClickStik Review
We reviewed the Satechi BT MediaRemote back in July and were impressed with the functionality it brings to pretty much all iOS devices. Sure, it is good for controlling music from a distance but it really shines as a remote shutter control for the iPhone’s camera. Dexim has gone one better with their new ClickStik [...]
CROON Audio’s Original Sound System Looks Great, Promises to Sound Just as Good
I went into the office today after a few weeks of vacation. While returning email I decided to listen to some tunes. My set up at work looks like this- I have an excellent Altec Lansing Speaker that Judie gave me for Hanukkah a few years ago connected to an Airport Express which, in turn, [...]
Harman Kardon Bluetooth Wireless Over-Ear Headphones Review
Harman Kardon recently released their first line of headphones. The company has a long history of offering quality audio components and has now taken their experience and applied it to the burgeoning headphone market. As we recently brought word, their headphone line runs from in-ear to on-ear to over-ear styles. They were kind enough to [...]
Retro Bluetooth Headset for iPhone 4 / 4S, New from USBfever
I recently had an interesting discussion with my kids after they saw a person on TV talking on a phone with a cord. They were confused as to why it was connected to “that box”. Beyond feeling really old, I realized how different the world they grow up in is from the one I once [...]
Gear-vs-Gear, the Phiaton PS 20 BT vs the Jabra Clipper, Bluetooth Headset Head-to-Head
It is time for another Gear Diary “Gear vs Gear”. Today’s competitors are the Phiaton PS 20 BT Bluetooth Stereo Headset and the Jabra Clipper Bluetooth Stereo Headset. Both let you cut the cord. Both let you listen to music and make/take calls. Both let you clip the battery, microphone and controls to your shirt so [...]
Satechi BT MediaRemote Review
Let’s begin this review with a summary of it: Do you need this Bluetooth accessory? NO! Do you want this Bluetooth accessory? MAYBE! Do I recommend you purchase this Bluetooth accessory? ABSOLUTELY! When I first saw the Satechi Bluetooth MediaRemote I really didn’t understand why I would want to having something like this. After using [...]
iLuv iMM377 MobiAir Bluetooth Stereo Speaker Dock for Smartphones review
I would be hard-pressed to recommend purchasing a dock that includes an iPhone or iPod adapter right now. The reason is quite simple. The next generation of the iPhone is only four months away and all indications point toward it having a new dock connector to replace the ubiquitous 30 pin connection. With such a [...]
IPEVO Typi Folio Keyboard/Case for new iPad and iPad 2 review
We’ve reviewed numerous different iPad cases since the tablet was first released. Many of them have included a keyboard and, as a result, not only protected the iPad but also helped turn it into an even better productivity tool. The challenge with each of the combo cases has been the fact that both the keyboard [...]
Braven 600 Takes on the JawBone JamBox, and…
Back in December we did a post and video comparing the Spar Zephyr 300 and the JawBone JamBox. (Read the post.) The Spar speaker promised excellent audio and the ability to double as an external charger. Here’s the video: Unfortunately it didn’t deliver on the audio front. I returned it and let the company know [...]
