Sennheiser is definitely mocking Beats in its new ad campaign

“Would you really take sound advice from a basketball player?” That line sums up Sennheiser‘s ad campaign for its new Momentum 3 Wireless headphones.  The venerable audio company doesn’t usually do much in the way of commercials, but this one highlighted a particular pet peeve of mine in mainstream headphone commercials: the celebrities peddling them don’t know jack about audio (probably). дальше »

CHEAP: No dongle, no problem. Samsung’s Gear IconX wireless earbuds are $70 (64% off)

Welcome to CHEAP, our series about things that are good, but most of all, cheap. CHEAP! I’ve got a confession to make. I used to be one of those chumps hating on headphone jack-less phones, blaming manufacturers for forcing consumers into buying numerous useless dongles – or spewing extra cash for expensive wireless earbuds. дальше »

Samsung’s Galaxy Note 10 is here with beastly specs and no headphone jack

Right on cue, Samsung has officially revealed the Galaxy Note 10, and for the first time in the note series, an even larger ‘Plus’ model. Granted, ‘Revealed’ might be a bit of a strong word given how much we’d learned about the devices going into today’s Galaxy Unpacked event, but it’s nonetheless welcome to have some real confirmation. дальше »

Huawei Mate 20 Pro: A long-term review of 2018’s most ambitious phone

When I first laid my hands on Huawei’s Mate 20 Pro in October, I thought it was the most ambitious phone I’d seen in years. It checked off almost every feature you’d want in a 2018 phone: an in-display fingerprint reader, 3D facial identification, a triple-camera setup, a bezel-less screen, expandable storage, a gigantic battery, good design… the list goes on. дальше »

10 reasons I’m still not switching to Bluetooth headphones

I’m lucky enough to be able to try out all the latest audio gear, so sometimes friends and family are surprised to see I’m not donning Bluetooth headphones. Why would someone who reviews tech for a living not be living the wireless life? While I certainly have access to more Bluetooth headphones than I need, more often than not, I’m reaching for my wired cans. дальше »

Focal Elegia Review: Neutral hi-fi headphones you can actually commute with

The Focal Elegia is not your typical high-end headphone. After the highly successful Utopia and Clear, the Elegia is Focal Audio’s first contribution into the high-end closed market. Closed-back headphones have traditionally been something of a rarity in the high-end market, simply because physics makes it harder to reduce resonances and distortion on closed headphones, and limits the sense of space compared to open-back cans. дальше »

Pixel Slate Review: Gorgeous, flawed, and inexplicably priced

When I first tried the Pixel Slate back at Google’s October event, I left with a mixed first impression of the hardware. It was an undoubtedly gorgeous tablet, but why is it the same size as the Pixelbook? Why is there no headphone jack? Why does the keyboard cost $199 when the tablet starts at $ 599? After spending a week with a production version of the tablet, those questions have gone unanswered, coalescing with a few new frustrations. дальше »

A few years ago, a small Romanian headphone company called Meze Audio took audio communities by storm with a gorgeous pair of $309 headphones, the 99 Classics. Here was a headphone clad in wood and aluminum that didn’t make any claims or revolutionary technology, artist collaborations, or gimmicky features – just great design and sound. дальше »

Just a few weeks after releasing the its flagship $899 earbuds aimed at the enthusiast community, the company is today announcing its first pair of ‘true wireless’ earbuds. дальше »

Review: Monoprice’s M565 is a $200 gateway to planar magnetic headphones

Dissect a random pair of headphones and there’s a good chance you’ll see something like this: a cone-shaped diaphragm speaker placed in front of a metal coil magnet. This basic design has been the foundation for most speakers and headphones for roughly a century; you’ll find it in everything from everything to the cheapest earbuds to the most expensive hi-fi setup. дальше »
