I had a chance to see Kingston at PAXPrime 2014, and this company known for storage devices like thumb drives had other terrific products out like the HyperX Cloud Pro Gaming Headset. I am assuming that they are called Pro Gaming Headset because pro-gamers (and they do exist) would love to use them. It has a solid aluminum build with 53mm drivers. I'm using them right … [Read more...] about HyperX Cloud Gaming Headset from Kingston

Star Wars First Edition STREET by 50 On-Ear Headphones
Okay, this is one of the times in reviewing a product where the headline really kind of says it all. I have stated many times that reviewing headphones is difficult because how am I going to describe an audio experience in my written medium? Personally, I wanted it because it has Star Wars on it, and Star Wars stuff just sells because it is Star Wars. All right, so how … [Read more...] about Star Wars First Edition STREET by 50 On-Ear Headphones
BioSports Earbuds, a Fitness Tracker that needs no batteries
SMS Audio recently partnered with Intel in order to create the BioSport In-Ear headphones. Why Intel inside? Because these headphones can do what a fitness band can do, but without charging. Somehow these headphones can track the user's heart rate. It can also take this information and pass it through the audio jack and pass it through a smartphone to be used on an app … [Read more...] about BioSports Earbuds, a Fitness Tracker that needs no batteries

SOUNDSIGHT Headphones bring a new kind of “sight and sound” market
The SOUNDSIGHT (which apparently is always spelled in all capitals) is a very unique gadget that I have not seen its like before. SOUNDSIGHT is a pair of headphones that have a small camera attached to them. Why would we need this? Come on, haven't you ever been walking down the street, listening to headphones, and you just had to film what you see? Clearly, you are not … [Read more...] about SOUNDSIGHT Headphones bring a new kind of “sight and sound” market
Audio-Technica ATH-ANC70 QuietPoint headphones
I'm always thrilled to review Audio-Technica's products, such as the ATH-WS77 Solid Bass Headphones. I had a chance to review another one of their over-the-ear headphones, the ATH-ANC70 QuietPoint Active Noise-Cancelling headphones. I definitely think these are one of the most advanced headphones that I have tried as far as the Active Noise-cancelling part is concerned. … [Read more...] about Audio-Technica ATH-ANC70 QuietPoint headphones
Tonino Lamborghini Quantum EL-01 Headphones
Ah, yes, another headphone review! And how can I possibly give a bad rating to any phone that has "Lamborghini" in its title. The answer is that I can't, because I always thought those flat cars are the best. It is more than just the name that makes the Quantum EL-01 headphone rock. It has a 10-mm driver for the enhanced bass response, and it really does have powerful … [Read more...] about Tonino Lamborghini Quantum EL-01 Headphones
Inspire Vivid Sport Earphones from yurbuds
I always like reviewing any yurbuds products, as I reviewed the Signature Series Sport Earbuds last year. If you are not familiar with them, then you should know their unique style. The yurbuds has this twist lock technology that allows them to be tight in your ear and yet not hurt at all. This is because they are "developed by Athletes", and the company has many … [Read more...] about Inspire Vivid Sport Earphones from yurbuds
The HiFiMAN HM-700 Portable Player and RE-600 Songbird In-ear Monitor
I had a chance to try out some of HiFiMAN's products over the weekend, and I'm going to have to say that I have tried them before. I'll go ahead and start with the HM-700, a portable media player that seems out of place in a world not made for portable media players anymore. In fact, the HM-700 reminds me of the days when the iPod Classic was in bloom. I mean, the … [Read more...] about The HiFiMAN HM-700 Portable Player and RE-600 Songbird In-ear Monitor

T-Tech by Tumi Performance Driver Series Earset
For some reason, whenever I think "iPod", I can't help but "earbuds". I have no idea if Apple invented the earbud, but I just associate their iPod with it. These particular earbuds from T-Tech by Tumi are definitely made for Apple products. It even has an Apple certified in-line controller and microphone which is made so you can use play, pause, answer calls, track … [Read more...] about T-Tech by Tumi Performance Driver Series Earset
The Zimri Z-T210 Touch Control Headphones and Z-11 Portable Bluetooth Speaker
If you are not familiar with Zimri's product line, then you should really get to know them as soon as you can. I'm going to review two Bluetooth products from them, the Z-T210 and Z-11. I'll go ahead and start with the Z-11. It is a small speaker that I will admit that I have seen before, but I enjoy the small size of products like these. This one produces some pretty … [Read more...] about The Zimri Z-T210 Touch Control Headphones and Z-11 Portable Bluetooth Speaker
Plantronics RIG Headset and Mixer
I'm not certain if Plantronics' RIG should always be capitalized, but right now, it is speaking in all capitals on my ears. Seriously, this pair of headphones has some serious bass that is rocking me with 40 mm speaker drivers. The RIG is designed for the PC, Xbox, or PS3, but it is also made for the mobile in mind. You can see in the illustration here this circular thing … [Read more...] about Plantronics RIG Headset and Mixer

I'm not certain why they chose black as their color, but hey, it is pretty … [Read more...] about Mionix NASH 20 Gaming Headphones
The T 51 i Headphones from Beyerdynamic
I'm always pleased to review Beyerdynamic products, and I recently had a chance to check out the T 51 p. I was very pleased to review the T 51 i. I honestly believe that the only difference between the T 51 p and the T 51 i is that the T 51 i is licensed to work on the iPod, iPhone, and iPad. I believe that it is made to work with the three-button remote and microphone, … [Read more...] about The T 51 i Headphones from Beyerdynamic
