REVIEW – Thanks to a virus (and shades of 2020) I lost a lot of my hearing on one side. Headphones and earbuds don’t provide much help for this condition – in order to get something akin to a stereo experience I have to crank the balance way over to the side and turn the […]

REVIEW – I have a confession to make: Although I have a nice gaming rig and a set of quality peripherals, I’m still using a Logitech H570e for my headset. While this $35 device might be fine in the office for making the occasional Slack call, it’s not exactly a high-quality gaming headset. It’s time

I’ve been lucky enough to review several gaming items recently, but one thing I have never upgraded since I purchased them years ago is my gaming headphones. Turtle Beach must have heard this, and quickly offered their Elite Pro Tournament Gaming Headset and Elite Pro Tactical Audio Controller. I was eager to try out what

A while back, I reviewed Aiaiai’s TMA-1 headphones, which I quite liked because they sounded really good, were very comfortable and were built to take abuse. After all, they were designed to be DJ headphones. But at $200, they were not cheap. Then came the $80 Tracks portable headphones. These were even more comfortable, but didn’t

For years I have been a Bluetooth headset evangelist. I have reviewed many Bluetooth headsets for The Gadgeteer (see related links for some of my reviews).
