Let's Talk Tech
No seriously.
This is one of the silliest product names for a pair of headphones I think I’ve ever reviewed, but there’s NO joking about this earbud performance.
1More continues to impress with excellent audio quality, surprising noise cancellation, and the best ear fit I’ve ever encountered out of the box.

Let’s be frank. If I hadn’t put “Apple” in the post title, would you have clicked on it?
The reason this article is going to focus on Apple, they are the highest profile company pushing these kinds of manufacturing decisions. If you’re a fan of Apple hardware, I’m sure there will be an inclination towards defending your brand.
Other companies should be criticized too.
Though, we should acknowledge that many of these companies wouldn’t be following this path without Apple. AirPods show how profitable it is to make expensive headphones as disposable as possible.

We should “punch up” with our criticisms. Apple is currently the king of this e-waste hill. We’ll start with them. Continue reading “Apple: Premium e-Waste and Normalizing Disposability”
Consumers are being pushed to Bluetooth audio, as phones ditch the headphone jack. The popular trend is true wireless. It’s kind of futuristic to cut the cord, but is it really better?

If true wireless has a weakness, it’s battery life. Creative’s Outlier Air were an incredible bang for buck option with (double) marathon battery life. How do we make those earbuds even better? ADD MOAR BATTERY!
Oh, and how about some fancy software modeling to create a 3D effect when listening to music? That could be fun too… Continue reading “Creative Outlier Gold Earbuds Review: The GOLD Standard for True Wireless”
True wireless earbuds are all the rage, but we shouldn’t discount the practicality of a good neckband. LG refreshes their Tone lineup, with Meridian tuning and excellent support for your phone’s voice assistant. A cleaner design, and refined build. Can LG make a little noise with some new headphones? Continue reading “LG Tone Flex Bluetooth Earbuds Review: Return of the NeckBand?”
True wireless earbuds are getting really good. Beyond simple convenience, now we’re finally starting to hear different premium solutions. Different features, and different tuning to better fit consumers with different tastes. Audio kit should never be a simple “good” or “bad” review. A healthy ecosystem of products depends on having a variety of solutions.

I try not to gush, but there are few companies I’ve worked with in my professional career as long as Sennheiser. A huge reputation for high quality recording solutions, so it’s exciting seeing them not only take gaming more seriously, but delivering some killer wireless tech for fans of high quality audio. The GSP 670 aren’t cheap, but they should go the distance! Continue reading “Sennheiser GSP 670 Wireless Gaming Headset Review: PREMIUM Audio! Fast and Sturdy! NO Cable!”
