Google slashes Pixel 3 prices, and looks to pick up secret tech from Fossil for smartwatches. Microsoft eulogizes Windows Phone AGAIN. A judge rules that feds can’t use your face to unlock your phone.

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. Audeze approached this market with a little nuance, so our video needed a little nuance. Enjoy!
Apple sales woes continue to put pressure on the company. Will iPhone prices get slashed sooner than expected? Carriers have promised to stop selling subscriber data, but it’s still really easy to pay for a specific phone’s location. After lobbying against Net Neutrality and FOR the Trump tax cut, AT&T is laying off thousands of employees.
And in happier news, CES was last week! Let’s talk about what I saw on the show floor with Newegg!

I’ve seen a ton of debates and showdowns on different wireless audio solutions. Comparing AAC, APTX, and LDAC is kind of useless if all you can share is anecdotal listening experiences. Doubly so if people are listening on different headphones for their comparisons.
We need something we can measure! Sony and Qualcomm make some pretty steep claims about audio quality. More than just listening, let’s actual analyze some data!
