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.

REVIEW – Have you ever felt like you don’t drink enough water? You’re not alone – dehydration can make us feel hungry, tired, and worse.
