TWS earbuds

REVIEW – When tech goes tiny, the impossible becomes possible—and it’s true with audio, as well. Take the Edifier NeoBuds True Wireless Planar Magnetic Noise Canceling Earbuds as an example. This mouthful of an in-ear monitor (IEM) uses a speaker design more common in headphones than earphones. The result is a pair of earbuds (what

REVIEW – Back in the Jurassic period of earphones, there was Plantronics—known for in-ear communication devices wirelessly (and wired) connecting to smartphones or corporate landlines. Created for the airline industry, these (usually) single-ear devices consisted of an earphone connected to a long wrap-around mic that sat near the user’s mouth. Over time, these were made

REVIEW – Of all the Edifier products I’ve reviewed, the TWS1 Pro 2 In-ear Headphones are the first I’ve used that are stemless. Many in-ear headphones (earphones) now come with stems as popularized by Apple’s original AirPods—such as Edifier’s award-winning NeoBuds line. These look and fit much like earphones that go inside the ear. So,

REVIEW – Ever since I bought a pair of Apple Air Pods Pro earbuds a few years ago, I haven’t felt the need or desire to buy or test any other earbuds. But now that I’ve been switching back and forth between an iPhone and the latest cool Android phone, I’ve been wanting a second

REVIEW – You gotta love a company like Tribit. Why? The reason is simple—Tribit makes products that perform exactly as advertised, are reasonably priced, and just plain work. I’ve reviewed 8 different Tribit audio products and my favorite is also the least expensive—the Tribit StormBox Micro2 speaker. This little wonder, as do most of Tribit’s

REVIEW – I’ve made it no secret how much I like and appreciate my Apple AirPods Pro earphones. What they may lack in sound quality (they do sound great) is more than made up by their convenience. I like them so much, that I talked a friend into buying them. Let’s just say he did

REVIEW – Many times, I’ve reviewed a new pair of earphones or headphones and thought to myself, “Yet one more earphone/headphone to review.” This time I’m reviewing an earphone called 1MORE, so it’s more than appropriate to say that now. The 1MORE Aero True Wireless Active Noise Cancelling Headphones (1MORE calls them earbuds, I call

REVIEW – Our aural environment is very important to us. How many times a day do you hear (no pun intended) someone say something like “It’s really loud in here.” Or “I can’t concentrate when music is playing.” Or “I hate that music <insert co-worker’s name> is playing right now.” Each of these scenarios could

REVIEW – I used to find myself with more portable power bank chargers than you can shake a stick at (thanks to my dad for that little euphemism).  I mean, I have them everywhere, in every shape and size, because you never know when you might need one, right?  I can now say that I

REVIEW – Like many of you, I have owned more earbuds over the years than I can count. I have tried every form factor out there… wireless, wired, over the ears, in the ears, behind the head, over the head, etc. I have enjoyed some of them, hated some of them, and put up with

REVIEW – If you listen to a lot of music or podcasts a good pair of headphones is crucial. How do you choose from the hundreds or thousands of available options out there? If you’re an iPhone user you can go the easy route and just get AirPods or AirPods Pro but what if you

REVIEW- I listen to music on an almost daily basis, usually with wired Over the Ear headphones or wired in-ear earbuds because of problems I’ve had in the past with Bluetooth versions. Being interested to see if current true wireless buds over Bluetooth could change my mind, I wanted to review the Beyerdynamic Free Byrd

  REVIEW – Workouts, running, cycling, walking… the Mifo S Wireless Earbuds are designed for doing the sporty things and the outdoorsey things with a rugged design and IPX7 water resistance. I beat these little guys around for a month to see how they hold up to the sweaty stuff. How do they do? To

   REVIEW – Like many, I love good audio and depend on my Bluetooth Earbuds. I use them frequently while working around the house and yard, but my ears are small so finding something comfortable is challenging. JBL’s Live Free 2 headphones are attractive, sound great, and the active noise canceling is wonderful! What is

REVIEW – In late 2020, I reviewed the Edifier TWS NB2 wireless earbuds. I said then that they looked as good as they sound. Well, it’s 2022 and Edifier has upped the game with the NeoBuds Pro true wireless stereo earbuds. Edifier wisely carried over the handsome looks of the TWS buds while upgrading almost

REVIEW – No matter how many earbuds and headphones I buy or get for review, I am always intrigued by new designs and the possibility of getting something that fits my needs better than I could imagine. Each day when I walk the mile between the railroad station and my job, I am concerned that

REVIEW – Drop has partnered with Axel Grell to create true wireless stereo (TWS) in-ear monitors (IEMs) that have fantastic sound characteristics. Like many TWS, these earbuds do much more than just reproduce sound, but how does it perform in these other areas? I have one to review. Read on to see what I think!
