Bluetooth headphones

  REVIEW – Earlier this year I said that the Tribit StormBox Micro Bluetooth speaker was the audio bargain of the year. Now I get to review a new headphone from Tribit, the affordable QuietPlus 50. Is this Bluetooth wireless headphone with active noise canceling another bargain of the year like the Stormbox Micro? Not

REVIEW – It’s always fun to discover that a product you’re reviewing works as well – or even better – at something that is not its intended use. Let me explain: Last year, Demant A/S, a large Danish hearing company, ended a business relationship with the even larger German Sennheiser Communications company—maker of countless audio

In late 2018, I was invited to the Shure headquarters for a demonstration of a new Bluetooth product (link here). Last month, Shure sent me the new Aonic 50 wireless to review. This headphone is geared for premium audio quality followed by the convenience—now almost requirement—of wireless along with active noise canceling (ANC). While not

REVIEW – As a gadget person, convenience is one of the capabilities I am always seeking. Also, since during the day I am usually connected to some device and need to be able to conduct phone calls and listen to music, I am always wearing some sort of headset or earbuds. Recently is have been

REVIEW – This was one of those products that I didn’t expect to love from my first impression. The fit was fine, sound was pretty good, but when I first put them on I thought they’d be uncomfortable over time. I was surprised when I realized several hours later that I hadn’t once taken them

REVIEW – As I continue to enjoy the opportunity to test and review headphones with similar features, I am still looking to find the perfect fit for my daily listening needs. As many of you would know from my reviews, I like to watch videos, listen to music, and attend webinars and Zoom meetings, etc.

REVIEW – Bluetooth headphones are a convenience. Not having to worry about wires getting in the way while you’re mowing the lawn, washing dishes, or whatever you like to do while listening to music, podcasts, or TV, is such a benefit. On the other hand, frequent dropouts, batteries dying, audio compression, and processing delays, all

REVIEW – Recently, I have been enjoying the opportunity to test and review several similar headphones to see what would work for my daily listening needs. I like to watch videos, listen to music, and attend webinars and Zoom meetings, etc. This time around, I get to test and review the Strauss & Wagner SW-ANCBT501

REVIEW – These days, it seems that everyone is making their own headphones and earphones. Companies you’ve never heard of are springing up with the best headphone you’ve ever heard, the quietest noise canceling, most comfort, blah, blah, blah. Which is where my head was at when I received the Know Calm headphone to review.

REVIEW – I spend a lot of time wearing headphones whether for AV editing or work or listening to music or watching videos/movies. I am always excited to test a new set of headphones and I am always very impartial irrespective of the cost until I test them. Let’s see if these TaoTronics SoundSurge 90

REVIEW – Over the years I have owned many headphones of all shapes and sizes.  Wireless.  Wired.  Over the head. Around your head.  Over the ear.  In your ear.  The list is endless.  And when I look back over the years up till today, I see very few that I still have and use, for

REVIEW – We live in a one-story house with an open floor plan.  We love the way our house centers around the combined living area of our kitchen, dining room, and living area.  There is, however, one unexpected consequence of this floor design:  Whenever someone is watching a movie or TV show and playing the

REVIEW – Good headphones used to cost a pretty penny, and you’ll have no problem finding many that do. Adding active Noise Cancellation (ANC) just raises that price even more. That’s no longer the case. There are many good headphones available, with and without ANC and at all price points. The new challenge is finding

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 – Did you know that other parts of the globe offer audio products that are not available in the U.S.? There’s a lot of cool stuff we in the states never get to experience. Sometimes though, a brand will skip the pond and show up on our shores—such as X by Kygo from Norway.

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. In 2015, I reviewed the (then new) TMA-2 Modular headphones. The sheer number of parts Aiaiai sent for that review was overwhelming. This time, I

REVIEW – I have reviewed many of Master & Dynamic’s headphones beginning with their first in early 2015—the iconic MH40. These headphones looked like no other then—or now for that matter. The MH40 headphones have a retro design reminiscent of the 1940s with modern touches added. In my review of the MH40 phones, I wrote,
