You may be wondering why I am showing a picture of a Nike Dri-Fit baseball hat as my intro image for this review. I agree most hats are not very high tech or gadgety. But in this case, looks can be deceiving. While this review is in some minor part about the hat you see,

Flopping earbud cords can be a problem when you’re trying to listen to music as you walk, run, or workout. This clever little headphone keeper has a built-in groove that prevents the cord from moving around so much, and it prevents the earbuds from dropping to the ground when you remove them from your ears.

I work in an office environment in IT. I often have people come to my desk to ask questions and I talk to my co-workers next to me in my cube quad. Wearing in or over ear headphones isn’t an option for me for two reasons. One, I don’t like in-ear style earphones in the

There’s

MP3 players are a dime a dozen these days. MP3 playing functionality is practically built into every electronic device that we have – cell phones, handheld gaming systems, car stereo, computers, etc. But sometimes you just want a simple and small MP3 player, and that’s where The Kube2 by Ollo Technologies comes in.
The Retro Belt-Drive Turntable (PVTT2U) from Pyle reminds me of the old suitcase-style record players of the 1960s. Inside the suitcase is a 3-speed (45, 33-1/3, and 78), belt-driven turntable, a ceramic stereo cartridge, and speakers; you can playback your records with no other equipment. If you want to convert the music on those vinyl records

When I first saw the Colorsonik speakers, I was reminded of an old Steve Jobs quote: “They look so good, you’ll want to lick them.” These 60s plastic retro speakers are absolutely beautiful in all of their color versions and are sure to grab attention on any desktop.
