Let's Talk Tech
Well, if OnePlus is gonna dump the headphone jack, a decent pair of low cost USB-C headphones helps take some of the sting off, but it’s not ALL roses. Let’s take a listen!

The move from OnePlus 6 to 6T wasn’t as significant as previous OnePlus refreshes, save for one critical feature. Buying a 6T means we’re now living the dongle life. Let’s take a quick listen to this new audio hardware. The Good. The Bad. and the also Bad.

For $1000, the iPhone XS is too fragile to use outside naked, especially for how costly repairs can be. I’ve been a big fan of Zizo cases, but when their customer service fails to address a significant issue, it’s time to move on. Thankfully ZeroLemon was able to help a tech reviewer out…

MEE Audio has something special on their hands, but the ear buds themselves are only PART of the story… Continue reading “MEE Audio M6 Pro Review PART 1: Pro audio for the masses!”
