Some of the best-sounding wireless earbuds shipping this year cost less than a dinner for two, and a few cost less than a single concert ticket. The shift didn’t happen overnight. Chinese audio […]

ARTICLE – Open ear earbuds are having a moment, but the design language still hasn’t caught up. Too many models still look like gym kit, and that’s a tough sell if you’re trying to wear them on a random Tuesday. Price: $229.99 Where to buy: Sony Sony’s LinkBuds Clip is the company’s attempt to make

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

These in-ear pods deliver outstanding sound quality with a whopping 56+ hours of play on a single trip to your nearest power source! They’ve got workout quality water resistance, active noise

REVIEW – Wow, I get to review perhaps the silliest-named earbuds yet—the Edifier LolliClip Open-ear True Wireless Earbuds. I can hear one of my friends ask: “Hey, what earphones are those?” Me: “They’re called LolliClips.” Friend: “Ooooohkaaaay (snickering)”. The laugh may be on them, because the LolliClips don’t sound as silly as their name. This

REVIEW – Recently I had the opportunity to review SoundPeats PearlClip Pro earbuds and I was pleasantly surprised by the open air format and design. I hadn’t tried them before and initially thought they looked a bit odd. Oddity aside, trying new gadgets is always fun, so I gave them a shot and was pleasantly

REVIEW – Have you ever heard the saying “You must go back to move forward”? Nah, me neither. However, that bit of sage advice might apply to the “new” Master & Dynamic ME05 wired earphones. These little gems hark back to the time when most wireless earphones were either too meh-sounding, too expensive, or both.
Master & Dynamic ME05 Earphones review – Back to the Future Read More
REVIEW – I’ve reviewed a lot of earphones and earbuds (still can’t tell the difference), but I’ve only recently discovered earbuds that don’t go in the ear. This newer open-ear approach lets the earbud sit just outside the ear. It’s like a cross between a true earphone and an older Walkman-type foam headphone, like the
REVIEW – I wear earbuds several times a day for different activities. I’ve typically gravitated toward the in-ear style that closes off your ear canal. Those sound great and can have noise-canceling technology, but they block out environmental sounds and can get uncomfortable afterward. I’ve been looking for an open-style earbud to overcome these issues
REVIEW – One thing I love about reviewing gadgets is trying something that looks new or unique and seeing how it holds up. One that came up recently was the SoundPeats PearlClip Pro earbuds, which use a different mechanism to stay in your ear than any other earbud I’ve tried before. Essentially, it’s a ring

REVIEW – Way back in 2019, I reviewed the new (at the time) Liberty 2 Pro earbuds from Soundcore (an Anker company) and was surprised by how much I liked them. Fast forward to 2021—Soundcore released the Liberty 3 Pro earbuds with active noise canceling (ANC) and other enhancements. While they were a big improvement,
REVIEW – I have a Bluetooth earbud in one of my ears probably 8 hours a day most days. I’ve reviewed and used many different types of earbuds over the last 20+ years. My favorite types are in a category now called “true wireless stereo”, meaning there are two earbuds and they can work together
REVIEW – I love listening to music while I’m busy in the kitchen. However I still need to hear if the dog is barking or the kid needs something so I can’t wear any type of noise canceling audio devices. I had previously tried bone conduction and I didn’t like the sound quality so when
