I’ve had poor experiences trying out “budget” truly wireless earbuds. $99 isn’t exactly “cheap”, but we’re in better territory to balance performance and compromises. 1More is a fantastic brand to tackle that challenge, and the “Stylish” truly wireless earbuds don’t disappoint. Are they the right fit for you? Let’s take a listen! Continue reading “1MORE Stylish True Wireless Earbuds: Changing my opinion on losing the cables…”
Ryan Schlieper from Creative Labs is one of my favorite PR folks to nerd out with. A dude who really knows his audio tech, and we’ve spent HOURS just chatting headphones and vinyl. The team at Newegg let us loose on Creative’s new Super X-Fi Headset, and cut down our MUCH longer conversation.
Even though they look ridiculous, and will make you go deaf sooner, it’s pretty likely that the AirPods2 will be one of the most popular wireless headphone solutions of the year.

LG Tone Platinum SE Review! LG is refreshing their Platinum line, adding some cool tech tricks like Google Assistant and Google Translate support. When compared against Pixel Buds and AirPods, we’ve got a solid daily driver audio competitor.
LG unveiled a pair of audio solutions at CES. The Tone Studio and Tone Free are fresh takes on LG’s “neck band” approach to Bluetooth audio. Tone Free deliver a truly wireless (and cable-less) pair of earbuds, while Tone Studio aims to create an audio cloud which surrounds your head. Let’s take a listen!
Good audio isn’t just for indoor conditions. Outdoor Tech is a California based company making rugged lifestyle gear. We got to take a look at the Rhino Headphones, durable water resistant cans designed for an active lifestyle.
