EarFun Air Pro 3 Hybrid Noise Cancelling Earbuds review – What’s not to like?

Earfun Air Pro 3 9

REVIEW – I’ve said it before: There are now so many decent to really good earphones/earbuds/in-ear headphones/whatever, that if you can’t find a pair to like, the issue is on you. Not only that but price and features both weigh heavily in the consumer’s favor. EarFun is one of those earphone/portable Bluetooth speaker companies that

Shargeek Starship Seer 12

REVIEW – Who knew that in a short time, I would become knowledgeable in all things Shargeek—or Sharge—I can’t figure it out. This whimsical company releases practical, but fun-to-use power banks and chargers. I’ve reviewed both the Storm2 Slim power bank and the smaller Sharge Flow Power Bank. I liked them both and still use

Treblab HD-Force portable wireless speaker review – Sounds good alone, but great in stereo

Treblab HD Force 5

REVIEW – Recently, I was sent the Treblab HD-Force portable wireless speaker to review. Ordinarily, I might or might not show interest in “another Bluetooth speaker”, but this one sparked an interest. It looked a lot like the Tribit StormBox Pro speaker I reviewed (and liked a lot) two years ago—but a bit bigger. I

REVIEW – In today’s world where everything is portable, everything will always need charging. And sometimes, an electrical outlet is not available, so your only choice is another portable device—a power source. It can be as large as a power station or as tiny as a pocket-sized charger, such as the Shargeek Sharge Flow Power

Bowers & Wilkins Pi7 S2 review – How much better than the original?

By / / Reviews / / 1 Comment
Bowers Wilkins Pi7 S2 16

REVIEW – In audio (as in life), there exists what is called the law of diminishing returns. This law simply states that the more expensive products get, the difference in improvements of features and quality diminish. For instance, a $300 pair of earbuds will sound much better than a $100 pair. However, a $500 pair

KZ-ZNA wired earphones review – How do they do it?

KZ ZNA 9

REVIEW – Last September, I reviewed the KZ Acoustics AS16 Pro Earphones. I noted that they were a bit too bright-sounding for me, but were great for stage work where accuracy is more important than listening enjoyment. The biggest selling point for them was the price: $73 (at the time the review was posted). This

Maircle Vacuum 25

REVIEW – By now, I’ve reviewed enough vacuum cleaners to get a sense of what works (for our house) and what doesn’t. In that time, I’ve concluded a few things. We avoid robot vacuum cleaners. We have pets and—do I need to explain? We’ve also moved on from corded vacuums. Yes, the plug-in canister cleaners

Huion Inspiroy Dial 2 15

REVIEW – In previous graphics tablet reviews, I’ve noted that there are a lot of drawing tablets (both slate and display) available for what I always thought was a relativity small market. Maybe the market is much bigger than I think it is, because today, the number of tablets and companies offering them is growing,

REVIEW – 6 months ago, I packed up my wonderful Bowers & Wilkins 607 speakers I used for music and TV sound ( along with a subwoofer and two Audioengine speakers for surround) and replaced them with the Platin Monaco 5.1 wireless surround sound speaker system. The Monaco 5.1 is a complete surround sound system—in

Linner Nova 3

REVIEW – As I’ve gotten older, I’ve reached that stage in life where I notice my hearing is not what it used to be. While I can hear fine, It’s understanding I have issues with—especially in a crowded area with a lot of background noise. This past year, the FDA finalized a ruling that allows

Trettitre TreSound1 14

REVIEW – There’s an old saying from author Margaret Wolfe Hungerford in 1878, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” Nothing proves her quote more accurately than the Trettitre TreSound1 Bluetooth speaker. Love it or loathe it, it’s a sight to behold. What is it? The Trettitre TreSound1 is a cone-shaped table-top Bluetooth speaker

Drop Etymotic ERX 9

REVIEW – When I was sent the ERX earphones by Drop+Etymotic (built by Etymotic, tuned by Drop), my first thought was how much they would sound like just another pair of Etymotic earphones. Or would they have their own personality? Let me back up a bit. I’ve reviewed a few Etymotic earphones—and liked them for

REVIEW – Sometimes, you just have to have the very best of something, whether that something is a car, boat, speakers, or even a pair of headphones. As long as there are music-loving people who demand and can have the best, there will be others more than happy to fill that desire. British audio company

Ampace P600 11

REVIEW – If you’re in the market for a large battery power station, this is a great time to buy. The selection is impressive and prices keep decreasing as capacity and features increase. It seems like everybody now makes a power station. Ampace is a company with a single available power station (so far), but

Xencelabs Pen Tablet 23

REVIEW – For those digital artists who are looking to buy a pen display, it’s easy to overlook the pen tablets that started it all—those black slates with no built-in screen that lay flat on a desk. True, display tablets are wonderful—I use one every day, but I didn’t begin my career using one. That
