Phonak Audéo PFE 232 Earphones Review

Audeo PFE 232 1

I’m torn about the PFE 232 Earphones from Phonak Audeo. They are about the best sounding universal-fit earphones I’ve yet heard. They are well made, extremely comfortable, customizable (more on that later), and have replaceable cables. But wow, are they expensive. There is no getting around that. It’s an elephant in the room you can’t […]

Gavio TOAST! Docking Speaker for iPhone

gavio toast speaker dock

This cute speaker from Gavio looks like a retro-styled toaster.  It would look really cute in my retro kitchen with my Formica dining table.  The TOAST dock has  50mm speakers with 3W total RMS, and they reproduce 150-18,000Hz with an 80dB signal-to-noise ratio.  It’s powered with a 1000mAh lithium-ion battery.  No price has been released
