REVIEW – It’s always fun when a smaller audio company comes from seemingly nowhere and begins besting the bigger boys in both price and audio quality. Case in point: Tribit. I‘ve reviewed some of their Bluetooth speakers and headphones and been impressed by both—the speakers more than the headphones. The Tribit line of speakers looks

REVIEW – Let’s get this out of the way right now. No soundbar—no matter how expensive or how great it sounds—will sound as good as two or more speakers paired with a subwoofer for watching movies on a large flat-screen TV. But before you write off the idea of a soundbar, there’s good news.

REVIEW – I am a sucker for 2.1 channel audio systems: A left and right speaker plus a subwoofer. As an admitted bass-head, I really wanted to try out the new Creative Labs Pebble Plus speaker. What is it? the Pebble Plus is a USB-powered 2.1 desktop speaker system with subwoofer. What’s in the box?

REVIEW – Over the years, I have purchased and listened to many soundbars. I still have my Yamaha SoundBar that I purchased for almost $2k, and that was over 10 years ago.

I’ve been fascinated with Porsche’s 911 sports car since I was old enough to even think about driving. I even owned a scale die cast model in midnight black. So when I saw that Porsche had designed a soundbar using parts from a 911 you can bet it piqued my interest. I never could afford that
