I have looked into Able Planet before, and they use some Patented LINX Audio technology to produce some good sound. I recently had a chance to try out the True Fidelity IR310TM which is a wireless headphone that works with an infrared transmitter. The headphones don't take too long to set up. All that is required is to plug the IR transmitter into the wall, connect the IR … [Read more...] about Able Planet True Fidelity Wireless Infrared Headphone with Transmitter

Audio-Technica’s ATH-CP700 SonicSport Headphones
I love doing headphone reviews, because I am one of those audiophiles that don't know anything about the specs of headphones or earbuds. I have reviewed Audio-Technica products before, and I am pleased with the ATH-CP700, or SonicSport. One thing that I love about the SonicSport is how it goes on the back as a single cord and then loops over the ears for a comfortable fit. … [Read more...] about Audio-Technica’s ATH-CP700 SonicSport Headphones
Tribeca, Part 2: Wooden Earbuds and Headphones
I realize that it has been weeks since I first talked about Tribeca, with the Herringbone Hardshell for the iPhone 5 and the Artisan series for the iPhone 4. In addition to those quality cases, the company also puts out some interesting wooden products with these earbuds and headphones. What you are seeing here is some Maple earbuds, and these wooden chambers in the … [Read more...] about Tribeca, Part 2: Wooden Earbuds and Headphones
How about a pair of headphone implants?
The video that you are seeing here is Rich Lee, and he just had magnets implanted in his ears. The purpose is to create headphones that are essentially surgically implanted. Yes, the magnets work as speakers, but they require a coil necklace with an attached amplifier that hangs around the neck. Controlling the volume is apparently done by moving the coil and amplifier … [Read more...] about How about a pair of headphone implants?
Sky Go uses bone conduction on subway windows for advertising
You can see the video that a company called Sky Go that wants to advertise on subway windows using bone conduction. If you haven't heard of bone conduction, it is a way of listening to sound outside of traditional headphones. It works by sending out high-frequency oscillations transmitted into your brain, and interprets them as sound. Have you ever leaned on a window of … [Read more...] about Sky Go uses bone conduction on subway windows for advertising
Eagle Trilogy, Part 1: Foldable Bluetooth Headset
As you have noticed, this is one in a trilogy on products by Eagle. I have never heard of Eagle before I attended CTIA, and I was pretty pleased with what they have. Today's product is the Foldable Bluetooth headset, but I am not certain if it has a better name than that. If you want the full name, I believe it is ET-ARHP200BF-BO, but I'm guessing no one is doing a … [Read more...] about Eagle Trilogy, Part 1: Foldable Bluetooth Headset
Bang and Olufsen unveils the H3 and H6
I suppose that the company Bang & Olufsen, or B & O, are considered the gourmet of electronics. After all, their stuff is pretty expensive and of high quality. The company has just unveiled some new products with the H3 and the H6. The H3 are some in-ear headphones that have 10.8 mm drivers and a mini bass port with a 20Hz to 16kHz range with a unibody design. You can … [Read more...] about Bang and Olufsen unveils the H3 and H6
Jabra Revo Wireless Review
Of course, I like reviewing Bluetooth headsets as much as I like reviewing Jabra products, and this time, I got to do both. I'll start with the sound. The Revo Wireless has Dolby Digital Plus as well as the Sound App that I wrote about when I reviewed the Vox Earbuds. According to the main website, it "provides rich, full-spectrum sound that brings your device to life … [Read more...] about Jabra Revo Wireless Review
Jabra Vox Earbuds
I always like Jabra's products, and this company is usually known for its Bluetooth headsets. The Jabra Vox is a pair of wired earbuds, which might seem rather pedestrian and ordinary, but it is not. The Jabra Vox has, on its box, a subtitle of "Massive Sound". I generally don't try to blow my ears off with earbuds, but the company has worked with Dolby to bring some … [Read more...] about Jabra Vox Earbuds
