Let's Talk Tech
I don’t spend a lot of time on budget BUDGET Bluetooth cans. Too often there are annoying compromises to make to reach the lowest possible price. Mixcder claims to have addressed many of my concerns on the E9 headphones. Can you really have it all for less? Let’s take a listen!
I loves me some GOOD earbuds! Breaking in a new pair of hybrid driver in-ear monitors. The Ikko OH1 balance good looks, with a pro focus on fidelity, at a great price. Let’s take a listen!

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!

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!
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!

Dark days for mobile audio fans.
More devices are walking away from the universal phono jack. Many phones keeping the jack deliver disappointing quality. There’s a reluctance to return to standalone media players. For the individual who owns nice headphones, what should they do?
Fiio might just have a solution with the BTR1K. Can we really combine the idea of a Bluetooth headphone adapter with a high quality DAC/AMP? Let’s take a listen!
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!
