Let's Talk Tech
A whole new generation of laptops pack formidable specs in sleek, premium form factors. Not only is the MateBook 13 a surprisingly snappy little machine, it’s also a surprisingly cost effective buy when weighed against a similarly priced MacBook…
Going hands on with a pair of earbuds while they’re still being crowdfunded is fun! The Origem HS-3 feature some fun hands-free tech tricks, and boast HDR audio capabilities. Exactly what is “HDR Audio”? Let’s take a listen!

It’s been a while since I took a look at a TRULY entry level handset. Coolpad sells a phone for $40, and that’s about as cheap as you can go in the USA. Has tech improved enough to push costs this low? How much phone can you REALLY get for two Jacksons?

Working with Newegg to shoot something a little different.
I spent some time breaking in the Audeze Mobius Wireless Gaming Headset, and we decided on a more casual conversation, instead of a punchy review. I like companies that show a grown up philosophy on accessories and peripherals. It’s all too easy to crank out disposable junk, and slap a “GAMERZ” label on the box.

FIVE BALANCED ARMS PER EAR! This is insane.
It’s a shame more phones are getting rid of traditional headphone jacks, as we get these kinds of low cost options for music fans. KZ has a solid reputation for “bang for buck” gear. The AS10 move the company into a higher price tier, but come with some crazy tech packed inside. Let’s take a listen!

I love seeing gamer gear grow up. Out of the nightmarish world of Mountain Dew fueled design, the GSP deliver a healthy crossover of faux militaristic “rugged” and broadcast headset style. Of course looks aren’t everything. Has the sound of this headset grown up as much as the design? Let’s take a look and a listen to the Sennheiser GSP 550!
