Just when I finished reviewing the huge Braven BRV-XXL, they released the smallest of the Braven family; the Braven 105 Active. The 105 is made for just that—an active lifestyle. While you could conceivably get more exercise jogging while carrying the 18 lb. BRV-XXL, it’s obviously not practical—and just plain weird. The Braven 105, however,

The notion of only having small earbuds in each ear, without cords of any kind, should make many activities where cord management and cord noise are problematic, such as running or exercising, more enjoyable and immersive. There are a few players in this relatively new field of gadget, notably: Bragi, Earin, Motorola, and BÖHM. Skybuds, manufactured by Alpha Audiotronics, Inc.,

Wait, don’t laugh and don’t hit the back button on your browser. I know the image of a whiteboard mounted in the shower looks goofy, but stop and think about the times that you’ve had a great idea while showering, only to forget the thought as soon as you finished washing your ears. Ideas can

In 2013, I reviewed the Meze 73 Classics headphones. I liked the sound and the use of wood for the ear cups. It helped project a warm and friendly audio quality that was easy to listen to for hours. All this holds true for the new 99 Classics headphone. Meze has trimmed their entire headphone

Every so often a product comes out that sounds in theory like a great idea but in practice it unfortunately falls short. Soundbars have been a staple ever since LCD TV’s replaced plasma TV’s. Why? The sound quality on LCD TV’s are terrible due to their ultra thin design. When I first read the details of the

What do you get when you cross a sleeping bag, a “puffy” style coat and a blanket? My best guess would be a Rumpl.
