Geneva Sound markets the Geneva Sound System Model XS as “the world’s first portable audio system with true Hi-Fi sound”. That’s a pretty daring claim to make and one that can easily be dismissed as a good bit of hyperbole. Does this Bluetooth speaker whose design is inspired by the classic travel clock, truly sound [...]

Google Launches Spotify-like ‘Google Play Music All Access’
For a couple of years or more, there has been constant speculation about when we would see an ‘iRadio’ service from Apple, with some more reasonable speculation that by capitulating to streaming price demands they might have something by this June. Google has also been rumored to be working on a similar service, though more [...]
Eton Announces ZoneGuard Weather Radio
Unfortunately, natural disasters have become an unwelcome part of everyday life; from tornadoes to hurricanes to several feet of snow, there’s always something to keep an eye on out there. That’s where the Eton ZoneGuard Weather Radio aims to help. There are a few things that make this radio sound like an invaluable accessory: One, [...]
Eton FRX3 Hand Turbine AM/FM/Weather Alert Radio Lets You Be Prepared
When Superstorm Sandy hit last fall we, like so many in our region, were left without power. For Elana and me that meant no heat, no light and no water. (Yes, we live in New Jersey and have well rather than communal water.) The outage also meant we had no way to recharge batteries. Thankfully [...]
Etón Proves Nature Is Pretty Darn Good at Empowering Innovative Technology!
Hurricane Sandy knocked out power for much of New Jersey, and at our house we lost power for about a week. Unfortunately, it was the same week we were scheduled to move out, so we found ourselves doing all the last minute packing in the dark. Luckily we weren’t totally on our own, as my [...]
Sonos Goes iOS Direct
One of the things I most love about the Libratone Zipp is its ability to play music directly from my iOS and OS X devices. It is a small convenience but one that I have come to truly appreciate. Now Sonos has added some similar functionality. As an email this morning explains… The latest software [...]
Slacker App for Windows 8 Launched and Will Livestream ABC Election 2012 Coverage
For those individuals like me who have just started using the latest Microsoft OS incarnation that is Windows 8 on their PCs, Slacker announced the official launch of their music service supporting Windows 8. The free Slacker app is designed such that it takes advantage of the new tiling and UI aspects of Windows 8, [...]
Libratone Zipp Wireless AirPlay Speaker, First Look
Every now and then a product comes along that not only meets your expectations but actually exceeds them. That’s the case so far with the Libratone Zipp AirPlay Wireless Speaker. Sure, it has a cool, unique look. And sure, the fact that you can change the wool covers then, in seconds, have a speaker that looks [...]
Slacker Launches Personalized Lifestyle Stations with ABC Radio
Here at Gear Diary we have a bunch of Slacker Radio fans. For me, aside from listening to my massive iTunes collection, Slacker is my ‘go to’ spot as they offer on-demand streaming content as well as a great array of preset music stations. Recently they also introduced highly customizable ESPN radio stations, and now [...]
Eton Axis Self-Powered Radio Review
This past year Sarah and I have been very lucky. While our town did flood, it only necessitated the power being out for around 15 hours. Many of my coworkers and friends north of us had it much worse, with power outages lasting anywhere from 24 hours to 5 days! Unfortunately, the modern world isn’t [...]
Slacker Radio… It May be Their Name but That’s as Far as it Goes
I’m a big fan of Slacker radio and love the fact that they are continually adding features and stations. Last night I got one of my favorite emails from them. It began with “This is the first of our announcements this week.” That is music to my ears although this announcement has nothing to do [...]
Grace Digital Audio Debuts the Victoria Nostalgic Internet Radio; Retro Styling with a Modern Flair
I’ve long been a fan of retro-looking devices that accomplished modern purposes, and it doesn’t get much more retro than the new Grace Audio Victoria Nostalgic Internet Radio. Looking every bit like a countertop radio from the 40s or 50s (well, except for the LCD on the front!), the Victoria Nostalgic is retro form that’s [...]
Sonos PLAY:3 Review
We have had a fair bit of coverage of the Sonos Wireless Hi-Fi System over the past few weeks. As I noted in my initial review of the system, I only had the review units in my home for 23 hours before I went and ordered my own. I was impressed by the ease of [...]
Sonos Announces the Play:3 the Newest Addition to the Sonos Family
If you read the site regularly you know that I am a Sonos convert and am telling everyone I can about the wireless home audio system. I love it. In fact, I had the review system in my home for just a day before I went and bought my own system. This past weekend I [...]
Slacker Launches Slacker Premium Radio with On-Demand Access to Music Library
I’m a huge fan of Slacker Radio but I have to admit, it has been a little long in the tooth lately. I mean, they still haven’t got an iPad app which means you need to use the Slacker iPhone app at 2X resolution on your iPad. Ugly!! Moreover, services like RDIO have made selective [...]
