Oladance OWS Pro Earphones review – I’m not sure what they are, but they sure sound good

By / / Reviews / / 2 Comments
Oladance OWS Pro 10

REVIEW – This review needs to begin with an apology to Oladance. When I first saw their OWS Pro earphones, I thought they were bone conduction technology—something I’ve never liked. I could not have been more wrong. The OWS Pro earphones are something you need to hear to appreciate. Nothing else works or sounds like […]

REVIEW – For some reason lately, I’ve been receiving (more than usual) audio speakers and headphones/earphones to review. I love it. Audio is my first love and playing with new gear is always fun. I’ve been having triple-fun—so to speak—with some Linsoul Audio Kiwi Ears in-ear monitors (IEMs). They wanted me to review the hybrid

REVIEW – Let’s talk ergonomics. Since working from home full-time for three years, I’ve acquired a Flexispot Odin standing desk and an X-Chair office chair—both made to improve my posture and help me lead a healthier life. Yet, something was missing. I discovered that my main monitor—The Huion 4K Kamvas pen display—sat on the desktop

Edifier TWS1 Pro 15

REVIEW – Of all the Edifier products I’ve reviewed, the TWS1 Pro 2 In-ear Headphones are the first I’ve used that are stemless. Many in-ear headphones (earphones) now come with stems as popularized by Apple’s original AirPods—such as Edifier’s award-winning NeoBuds line. These look and fit much like earphones that go inside the ear. So,

New Soundboks 4 Speaker – Loud, proud and “Turn that d**n thing down!”

Soundboks 4 2

NEWS – 2 years ago, I reviewed the extremely loud SOUNDBOKS (Gen 3) speaker. In conclusion, I said, “. . . you can deliver 126 decibels of “Turn that down or I’m calling the cops”. It was—and still is—one bada*s speaker. Of course, a company that would unashamedly make such a speaker is going to

REVIEW – It’s said that there are some things in life that you don’t go cheap on. Shoes, mattresses, and things you use all the time can affect your enjoyment of life. I would put office chairs in that category—especially if you work from home (as I do). If you’re going to sit in a

REVIEW – In my multi-year career as an art director and children’s book designer, I’ve used quite a few graphics tablets. And over the past few years, I’ve reviewed many other graphics tablets, both with and without screens. Some I now use every day in my work—I like them that much. And while I may

Tribit FlyBuds C1 9

REVIEW – You gotta love a company like Tribit. Why? The reason is simple—Tribit makes products that perform exactly as advertised, are reasonably priced, and just plain work. I’ve reviewed 8 different Tribit audio products and my favorite is also the least expensive—the Tribit StormBox Micro2 speaker. This little wonder, as do most of Tribit’s

REVIEW – I’ve made it no secret how much I like and appreciate my Apple AirPods Pro earphones. What they may lack in sound quality (they do sound great) is more than made up by their convenience. I like them so much, that I talked a friend into buying them. Let’s just say he did

REVIEW – If you are looking for a power station today, the choices available can quickly become overwhelming. It seems like everyone and their uncle is selling these things.

REVIEW – Not only have I come to appreciate the broad selection of Huion pen tablets and pen displays, but I also depend on them in my daily work. My desktop contains two 24 in. Huion pen displays—the Huion Kamvas 24 Plus and now, the Huion Kamvas Pro 24 (4K). The 24 Plus has proven

REVIEW – Last October, my brother (the real woodworker) and I reviewed the Atezr P20 Plus laser engraving machine. Despite a few quirks—addressed in this review—we quite liked the engraver. In fact, my brother still uses it to make great gifts and a few money-making side projects. This review is a follow-up to the P20

REVIEW – In case you haven’t noticed, the stormy season is here as summer is upon us—at least in Florida. And with storms come power outages. We’ve had a couple of power failures already, along with some necessary roof repairs, but I digress. If you live in a place that gets (sometimes violent) storms, you

Master Dynamic MH40 2

REVIEW – In late 2019, I reviewed the 1st generation of Master & Dynamic’s MH40 Wireless Over-Ear Headphones. Except for the wireless part, they were visually identical to the original wired MH40 headphone—an iconic design if there ever was one. It’s mid-2023, and M&D has decided to not mess with a good thing and is

REVIEW – A few years ago, a friend gave me a FoodSaver vacuum sealer she never used. I barely knew what one was, but accepted it anyway because it is a . . . gadget. I am glad I did. If you aren’t familiar with what a sealer can do, it literally sucks the air

Charcoal Desk 14

  REVIEW – If you are thinking of purchasing a sitting/standing desk and have perused many websites to gather information, you may have noticed that most—if not all—desks are hydraulic frames with a laminate/solid wood top attached. And while that’s a great combination, someone has come up with what they say is a better idea.

REVIEW – If you are an artist who uses drawing tablets, you may not have heard of Ugee. You may have heard of XP Pen or Xencelabs—but did you know both are owned by Ugee? What’s interesting is that Xencelabes is the new premium name in tablets; XP Pen is the mid-range while Ugee (the

Edifier QD35 1

REVIEW – Face it, most Bluetooth speakers today sound decent enough to enjoy, and some even sound darn good. So, assuming all Bluetooth speakers sound good, what distinguishes one from another? Currently, it’s usually the design that is the deciding factor. How “cool” is it? It can be overly designed for the “In” crowd like
