House of Marley Bag of Rhythm review

It’s 2012 and boomboxes have slowly been replaced by smaller, more portable, lightweight speakers. You truly don’t see people lugging around a box of sound on their shoulders anymore. Now it’s a Jambox or even iHome’s iDM11 cube spearker. But what if you want to take your party on the go? There’s still not much of solution for that, unless you take a look at the House of Marley’s Bag of Rhythm. — Our full review after the break!

Ableplanet Clear Harmony (NC1050) headphones review

Abelplanet is a name that’s slowly become synonymous with headphones in both the noise-canceling and design markets. They haven’t always had the prettiest designs especially when directly compared with other slick headsets like Bose or Sennheiser, but Ableplanet has been inching their way to bigger mainstream success with importance being set on the deliverance of audio quality and growing comfort. The Clear Harmony (model number NC1050) are a new line that compete with said companies above and do quite a great job at putting up a fight. — Our full review after the break!

digiZoid ZO2 Personal Subwoofer review

Headphone amplifiers: they’re standard in every audiophile’s portable audio rig. Most of the time they just provide the extra bit of power to supplement a weak music player so what does digiZoid mean when they call the ZO2 a “personal subwoofer”? Well. the ZO2 features SmartVektor, a technology that supposedly allows for a richer and more customized audio experience, in addition to improved bass performance. Is the ZO2 as magical as it sounds? — Our full review after the break! 

Thinksound ms01 earphones review

We know two things about Thinksound already; 1.) they make consistently great earphones, and 2.) they know how to package their products just about better than anyone out there. We were first introduced to their unique approach when we reviewed 2010’s offering in the ts02+ earphones. The Thinksound name isn’t as big as a brand like Beats or Bose, but what they lack in exposure they more than make it up in overall audio excellence. And the latest addition to their monitor series, the ms01’s, don’t stray away from the that high standard.  — Our full review after the break!

XePort 7010-9 in-ear headphones review

More often than not, a brand name is one of the main factors that compel a buyer to purchase a product. In order to have a well recognized brand name, a lot of marketing and endorsement are required. That extra cost for marketing then goes into the final price you pay for the product. Why am I saying all this? Today, we’ll be taking a look at headphones from a little known company called XePort (pronounced Z-Port). The 7010 headphones cost $20 but you might be surprised by our conclusions. — Our full review after the break!

Audioengine A5+ Premium bookshelf speakers review

It’s been about a year or so since we last took a look at Audioengine’s A2 desktop speakers, and just by a mere glance at these A5+’s there are a number of definite improvements. But before I go into what makes these speakers great or not you may be asking, “why would anyone shell out nearly $500 for a pair of speakers?” Well, we all love to listen to music, watch movies, or even play games. Sound is a must for just about anyone who owns a computer. Getting the best sounding speakers, undistorted, with enough volume are a pain, if not sheerly impossible to find in department stores. Not to mention some one of you have already paid over a grand buying a nifty looking Mac. So why not go the extra mile and buy a pair of premium speakers that will survive the test of time, and also give you better audio quality than anything a small-time consumer set of speakers would ever offer? And so here I introduce to you, Audioengine’s A5+ premium speakers. — Our full review after the break!

Incipio Forte f-38 headphones review

When you think of Incipio the first thing that comes to mind aren’t headphones, right? A respectable case maker for all things iPod, iPhone, or iPad, Incipio has decided to enter the personal audio market by designing and selling their very own pairs of Incipio branded headphones. And wouldn’t you know it, they actually don’t look half bad. Not only that, but for the price it’s hard to find a better looking set of cans. — Our full review after the break!
