The IQBuds Boost are NOT cheap, but they aim to correct EXACTLY the situation I’m in. They’re not hearing aids, but hearing “assistants”. Do they get the job done? Let’s take a listen!

CCA C16 Earbuds Review: 8 Drivers PER EAR are CRAZY!
We’re in a headphone driver arms race. Consumer dual drivers were novel. Triple drivers were exotic. Then four and five driver earbuds blew out minds. But eight. Eight is getting a bit crazy.

It’s a Pixel, but it’s cheaper! We’re a bit starved for good mid-range competition here in the United States, but at $400 (and OFTEN found for cheaper) the Pixel 3a offers a photography price / performance ratio which absolutely SHAMES more expensive premium smartphones.

Coolpad Legacy on Metro by T-Mobile: Android at $180?
Coolpad Legacy smartphone review! I want to spend more time with mid-range and entry level phones. It’s easy to get spoiled by premium handsets.

The Wireless Lavs to Beat! Comica CVM-WS60 Review!
The Comica WS60 might not be as techie cool as some of the competition, and it’s significantly larger than other options I’ve played with, it offers a single key spec that completely tips the price / performance ratio. I’m on a quest to improve the content we can produce out in the field. Cameras have gotten really good. There’s no shortage of cool stands, mounts, gimbals, and lighting solutions. Audio has been lagging behind, but we’re now getting better solutions in the vlogging “prosumer” space.
