For those who know me, it is certainly no mystery that I spend a lot of time reviewing personal audio products. I've written before about how the market space has exploded over the last several years, and even more recently remarked that it is getting harder and harder to find bad headphones and bad speakers....

JABRA ELITE 65T TRUE WIRELESS EARBUDS
Because audio products are the most reviewed item on this site, it’s easy for me to get jaded about doing yet another review for yet another pair of headphones, or yet another set of earbuds that claim to be truly wireless, because deep down on the inside I know that I’m going to find some...

SONY WH-CH700N NOISE CANCELING HEADPHONES
It has been nearly 5 months since I've had the pleasure of reviewing some over-ear closed-back headphones. And I think it's about time. Much like any other product that I review a lot of, I find myself gravitating toward one or two products as my "daily driver" products, if you want to call them that. Most tech... Continue Reading →
SONY SRS-XB31 WIRELESS SPEAKER
I think that finding a perfect Bluetooth speaker is a bit of a white whale. And, even if I found my white whale, it may be entirely different from anyone else’s—which makes reviewing these things both difficult and sometimes frustrating. For instance, last June I got my hands on a speaker from a company,... Continue Reading →
APPLE HOMEPOD
The HomePod was announced in June 2017 in what many thought was a truly lackluster introduction. Apple’s usual promises of “this is going to be the greatest thing of all the things we’ve ever thing-ed” (not an exact quote, for sure) didn’t feel any different from their typical announcements; because Apple is often criticized as...

Sony WF-1000X True Wireless In-Ear Noise Canceling Headphones
While the audiophiles out there may scoff at the mere existence of a small, highly mobile, wireless ear bud that requires a special case just to charge it, there is no denying that truly wireless ear buds are becoming more and more popular with each passing month. No, Apple wasn’t the first to do it,... Continue Reading →
BANG & OLUFSEN BEOPLAY H4 WIRELESS OVER-EAR HEADPHONES
As you may have read on this site before—I have a relatively basic approach for categorizing headphones into one of three groups. If you missed it, check it out here, or here, or even here. Those categories are as follows: Basic ear buds with inline mic - for every day use, generally less expensive, comfortable... Continue Reading →
SAMSUNG HW-M5650 SOUND+ SOUNDBAR
For those of you familiar with my reviews, and specifically, my speaker reviews—you may already be aware of my rule of 3 when it comes to speakers: The Budget speaker, the Go-To speaker, and the Beast. And, while I’m not necessarily a proponent of spoilers, I may have just stumbled across my “Beast” replacement. But,... Continue Reading →
MASTER & DYNAMIC MH30 ON-EAR HEADPHONES
When I write-up any sort of documentation at work—perhaps some technical project documentation or a Powerpoint slide deck—I think often about my boss who insists on a “rule of 3” when it comes to lists. 3 is his go-to number when trying to come up with any sort of explanations or examples of something; a...
