REVIEW – We live in a hyper-connected world. Almost everyone we see on the street, for better or worse, is wearing a listening device on their ears. If you need to filter out background noise, having noise-cancellation in your listening devices greatly aids audio performance, and can allow you to listen at a much lower …

REVIEW – It’s all in the headband. Aiaiai is a headphone maker from Denmark with a minimal aesthetic. Their TMA series is famous for its modular way of “building” headphones.

REVIEW – Headphones are something that sit on your head for hours a day without you even realizing it, that is, unless they don’t fit well.

The MH40 headphones have a retro design reminiscent of the 1940s with modern touches added. In my review of the MH40 phones, I wrote, …

NEWS – Once again, Master & Dynamic are busy upgrading their existing line of earphones. The iconic MW07 True Wireless Earphone has gone silent—as in active noise canceling (ANC) silent—with the MW07 Plus. Yet, M&D didn’t stop there.

REVIEW – Over the years, I’ve got through dozens of headphones for various reasons, usually ones that come with my phone. Typically they don’t last long and with Apple’s decision to get rid of the headphone jack on their phones it has made Bluetooth headphones pretty much mandatory. As I have found that my new …

REVIEW – Over the past year and a half, I have reviewed several Bluetooth earbuds with a wide range of results and conclusions. All of those earbuds were similar in design and function. Several years ago, I owned some bone conduction headphones, and while I loved the sound they produced, they were made of very …
REVIEW – Over-the-ear headphones have grown on me over the past few years. I have preferred sport-centric earbuds due to their portability and ability to survive sweaty, nasty workouts.
