Headphones

REVIEW – Just about a year ago, I reviewed the Mojo 1 bone conduction headphones from Mojawa. It was my first experience with bone conduction headphones and I was impressed.  Mojawa released Mojo 2 – the next generation of their headset.  Let’s check out what’s changed and what hasn’t. What is it? The Mojawa Mojo […]

REVIEW – Given our modern environment, dealing with external noise while listening to content is a constant problem. New products fill the virtual shelves of retailers promising the best noise-canceling headphones. We have reviewed many here. I’m going to add another to the mix today, the Soundcore Space Q45 over-the-ear headphones. Are they the best?

REVIEW – Over the years I have purchased numerous headphones. I use them to monitor audio for videography, for meetings/conference calls, for my Podcast, and for one of my greatest pleasures and that is listening to music. I am to a great extent an Audiophile having spent years listening to and evaluating so of the

REVIEW – If you’ve done any professional audio mixing, been a DJ or consider yourself an audiophile, you probably know just how expensive a quality set of open back monitor headphones can be. A decent entry level pair will set you back around $150 to start, and as you turn towards the pro side, north

REVIEW – Have you ever been curious about “audiophile” headphones and what justifies their ~$1000 price tags? I know I have, but until now I’ve never had the spare cash or opportunity to use cans of that caliber. Thinksound has sent over their new OV21 headphones that they’re advertising as “giant-killers” at less than half

REVIEW – Listening to music can make exercising more tolerable. Witness the huge case market for sweat-resistant armbands, cases, and headphones. Listening to music when you’re outside running, biking, or otherwise being exposed to environmental hazards (i.e. cars, trucks, and other motorized vehicles) can be dangerous to your situational awareness. Aftershokz, a company that specializes

REVIEW – I’ve been searching for the perfect headphones or earbuds.  My overly-sensitive ears typically reject earbuds, although I’ve tested some “acceptable” ones.  I had the opportunity to test something different – bone conduction headphones.  I’ve never tried anything like this, so let’s give a listen and see if this is the holy grail of

REVIEW – In an engineering feat, the Creative SXFI TRIO Earbuds manages to pack an entire 7.1 surround sound system — or at least the impression of one — into a tiny package. What is it? The Creative SXFI TRIO are USB-C powered earbuds, featuring award-winning Super X-Fi headphone holography. They are imbued with a

REVIEW – No matter what mode I am in, whether it is editing videos, photos, designing websites, working on my podcast, or even immersed in my duties for my 9 to 5 job, I am almost always in front of a computer or two. Whenever I have some downtime, I am usually looking at movie

REVIEW – With rare exception, most headphones are made in China no matter where they might be designed. Erzetich is one of those rarities. It’s a headphone and amplifier company from Slovenia. If you’ve never heard of Slovenia, it used to be a part of Yugoslavia, a former Eastern Bloc country controlled by Russia. Thankfully,

REVIEW – The Gadgeteer is called that for a reason, we report on and review gadgets, which begs the question—what makes a gadget? When is a gadget not a gadget? I wondered about that when I received a new headphone stand to review—the Grovemade wood headphone stand. Is it technically a gadget, or not? What

REVIEW – In-ear headphones (earphones) generally fall into two camps: Dynamic or Armature. Dynamic speaker designs look like tiny versions of headphone speakers. Even tinier armature speakers come from the hearing aid industry and don’t even look like traditional speakers at all. Today, most earphones use either dynamic or armature designs—or a combination of both
