Still, there is a place for this “older” technology, and the Flare JET earphones show just how good wired headphones with a 3.5mm jack can be.

I was impressed by the true wireless IQbuds from NUHEARA I reviewed some time ago. But while they offered some unique features, they didn’t stand far enough in front of the pack to make them my daily driver.

I was lucky enough to get an early sample so let’s take a look.

For the longest time, there had been about only one name in the noise canceling headphone market. They provided a good product but at a high price. Enter ELEPAWL and the EP6 Active Noise Cancelling Wireless Bluetooth Headphones that offer the same technology but at a very reasonable price.
Over the past week, I began and finished my first custom PC build (look for my upcoming article detailing my experience and insights).

For example, the Rowkin Bit Charge earphones sound great but their 2-3 hour battery life is disappointing, and they can lose their stereo connection. I was curious if the Rowkin Surge Charge fixed these issue and I’m happy to report they do!
