I’m into a period of time that will see me on planes rather frequently, and while I’ve tried various noise canceling headphones over the years, I’ve never found a pair I loved to use. For example, I was impressed with the Sennhauser MM 450s when I reviewed them, but when I bought a pair on [...]

RHA MA450i Noise Isolating Aluminium Earphones with Remote and Microphone Review
Back in August, we took a look at $35 MA350 Noise Isolating Aluminium Earphones. I liked them, but I didn’t LOVE them. My conclusion read, What I Like: Good build-quality; Decent sounding; Fabric cord; Surprisingly low price for what they offer What Needs Improvement: Lacks in-line microphone and controls Recently the company was kind enough [...]
Phiaton MODERNA MS 200 Earphones Review
Back in July I put the Phiaton PS 20 BT Bluetooth Stereo Headset head to head with the Jabra Clipper Bluetooth Stereo Headset. (Read the pos, here.) I preferred the Phiaton PS 20 BTs to Jabra’s offering, and I have continued to use them on a fairly frequent basis since doing the review. Among the things [...]
iLuv’s Stylish ReF Line of Headphones Make Clear, Music Is Fashion
Headphones are fashion and are now music to your eyes, just as they are music to your ears. Recognizing this fact, iLuv has just introduced their ReF line of premium headphones. As Brian Kim, Global Product Marketing Manager of iLuv’s Premium Headphone Division notes Headphones are quickly becoming a part of the language of fashion, [...]
OrigAudio Designears Custom Noise-Reducing Headphones Review
Back in college, I had a part-time job at Best Buy. In addition to being awesome simply because I was a geek and it was an electronics store, they also offered a fantastic employee discount. I bought a pair of oversize noise-canceling headphones, and I used them until they fell to pieces. I had quite [...]
JBL Micro 2 Rechargeable Portable Speaker Review
Your iPhone’s speaker stinks, and so does your iPad’s; even the iPad mini’s stereo speakers, a first for an iOS device, are crappy. And your Android devices? They don’t really do much better. Yes, for a quick YouTube video or conversation the speaker on your mobile device is certainly adequate but it’s not going to [...]
Mobility, It Is All About the Ecosystem and #GiftsThatDo
Best Buy has launched a special Gifts That Do campaign and invited us to serve as one of their mobile technology and gadget experts for this Holiday Season. I put together an extensive list of gear we have reviewed on the site and/or Judie and I use on a daily basis. Then I set about [...]
SMS STREET by 50 DJ Over-the-Ear Headphones Review
Back in June we reviewed the SMS Audio Street by 50 Wired Headphones. (Read the review.) I was impressed by both the comfort and the sound. I summarized them with “What I Like: Well-made; Stay in the ear nicely; In-line controller; Flat, tangle-free cable; Sound great”. Since then SMS Audio has greatly expanded their offerings [...]
chicBuds ARTS Series Combines Functionality with Trendy New Prints!
My daughter is about as big of a girly-girl as you can imagine. Despite our efforts at gender-neutral parenting — giving her blocks and trucks and reading good progressive lit to her and encouraging her to watch “Kiki’s Delivery Service” rather than Disney princess movies, and so on — she loves pink and sparkly and [...]
OrigAudio Announces Designears
I know high-end earbuds are all the rage, but I am old school and prefer an over-the-ear headset. Besides comfort (and if you’re like me and prone to ear infections, safer on your ears), I find them more stylish. Designears is taking that style a step further with customizable noise canceling headphones that look pretty [...]
Monster Inspiration Active Noise-Canceling Headphones Review
What would it take to get you to spend $350 on a set of headphones? I’ve been asking myself that very question over the last two weeks, and I think I may finally have an answer. The question wouldn’t have even come up if I hadn’t been sent Monster’s newest Inspiration headphones, which — as [...]
New iPhone? It Deserves a Bodyguardz
If you got a new iPhone today you know it is Apple’s best iPhone ever. you also know you are going to take it with you everywhere you go. That means it needs, and deserves, good protection. One of our favorite ways to protect iPhone (and laptops. iPads and Kindles and… you get the idea) [...]
Digital Innovations Nest Earbud Protector Review
Unless you are a fan of stereo bluetooth headphones, you have earbuds. With the iPhone, Android Phones, Mp3 Players and other personal audio items usually shipping with a pair of these, we all end up with at least one favorite pair. They are the bane of our existence, and there have been many attempts at taming [...]
Monster and Viacom Announce Monster DNA Audio
As we have discussed numerous time recently, headphones have become fashion statements as much as they are audio. But that is the point- for headphones to stand out they need to have both the sound and the style. Too often it seems style becomes the focus and thee audio is almost an afterthought. That surely [...]
I-Mego Throne Gold Headphones Review
For anyone who reads any of my posts, you know I love me some headphones. Music and podcasts play a huge part in my life and I usually do not like to burden others with what I am listening to. I am probably not an audiophile, but I prefer my audio to be high quality. [...]
