Treblab HD77 Outdoor Rugged Wireless Speaker review

THD7 01

REVIEW – Sometimes your phone or laptop audio doesn’t cut it. You don’t need anything massive; just something that sounds bigger. Headphones are great, but not very social.

Fugoo 2.0 portable Bluetooth speaker review – a less expensive improvement over the original

Fugoo 2.0 14

REVIEW – Way back in 2014, I was introduced to Fugoo, a new Bluetooth speaker maker named after a Japanese blowfish. The portable Bluetooth speaker market was smaller than it is today—and with a few exceptions, the audio quality was not as good. It’s now 2021 and boy, have things changed. Speakers have gotten cheaper,

REVIEW – I’ve owned and tried many different “truly wireless” earbuds over the past few years, but haven’t tried one yet that also included a speaker in the charging case.  Will these earbuds be another forgettable model aside from the extra speaker, or will they stand out from the crowded herd of options in this
