All the earphones I have reviewed fall into two design philosophies: dynamic speaker (looks very much like a tiny speaker) and armature (the same technology used in professional hearing aids).

We write a lot about keeping gadgets safe from damage. Cases, gear bags, screen protectors and the like are all subject to being damaged by something you may accidentally do. But what about preventing an unwanted transfer of technology (ie. theft)? We can’t all go around with safes and lockboxes strapped to everything, can we?

Copper River Bag Co. creates beautiful, hand-crafted, American-made leather gear bags. They have a couple of water-resistant iPhone pouches that can actually also serve as your wallet.

Remember those “multimedia” upgrades for PCs years ago that consisted of a sound card, speakers and a desktop microphone?
