REVIEW – I seem to spend as lot of time with earbuds in – from running, riding bikes, walking the dog, and of course, meetings at work.  For all but cycling and flying, I prefer open-air earbuds which let you hear ambient sounds.  But I’ve been frustrated with most sets – they are either very

Edifier LolliClip 3

REVIEW – Wow, I get to review perhaps the silliest-named earbuds yet—the Edifier LolliClip Open-ear True Wireless Earbuds.
