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!

SOL Republic Tracks headphones review

Let’s face it, headphones can be a pain to buy. Some headphones are surrounded by hype and celebrity sponsorships but are generally considered in the tech world to be way overpriced (and because of that, slightly overrated). And yet, there are other types of headphones that are fairly unknown but can be the best bang-for-your-buck-cans out there! Today we’ll be taking a look at the latter, the $99 Tracks headphones by a new company called SOL (Soundtrack of Life) Republic. How do they stack up against other headphones in the price range? — Our full review after the break!

SGP Linear EX Meteor Series Infinity White bumper case for iPhone 4 /4S review

The bumper case is a popular form factor for many iPhone 4 and 4S owners so of course we had to take a look at SGP’s very own offering. The company thoughtfully adds SGP Steinheil films for the front and back of the iPhone for extra protection and value. How does the SGP Linear EX Meteor Series perform? — Our full review after the break!

Photojojo Easy Macro Cell Lens Band review

The camera on the new iPhone 4S truly brings cellphone photography to new heights and as a result, many companies are manufacturing camera accessories for it.

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!
