Let's Talk Tech
KZ has been a regular manufacturer in my reviews. I believe we’re in a headphone renaissance right now, and numerous brands are duking it out, bringing ever incredible audio experiences to customers, at lower and lower prices.
KZ is back now with a refreshed Vader earbud, and it’s sporting some new tricks I don’t think I’ve heard before. Continue reading “KZ Vader Pro 3DD Earbuds Review: LUDICROUS These Only Cost $30…”
Your phone is a computer.
A computer is always more useful when you can expand on its functionality.
Either through better battery managements and repair, dedicated ports for data and audio, or the ability to increase a computer’s storage, these are all ways we can use a computer longer before it falls into obsolescence.
Unfortunately for phone “reviewers”, it’s more important to validate the bias of an audience, and make more money on content by keeping positive relationships with manufacturers, than to ever criticize the cynical money grabbing schemes of said manufacturers.

Your phone is a computer.
It’s a small computer that fits in your pocket. After years of refining, we should expect our pocket computers to be capable of accomplishing more work (and play) with every successive phone generation.
Sadly, we’ve seen a cottage industry of tech reviewing amplify a lazy refrain of “specs don’t matter”. It’s disappointing to see.

I’ve eagerly been anticipating the release of the XM6, but my first impressions were a little disappointing. This is still the best TRAVEL premium headphone on the market, but depending on your ears, they might need a little EQ help. Here’s what I did to change up the sound and LOVE these cans!
