BlueAnt Embrace Headphones Review

BlueAnt is one of my favorite Bluetooth headset manufacturers, and when I heard BlueAnt introduced a brand new pair of headphones I was really pumped to give them a try. BlueAnt's Embrace headphones aren't Bluetooth enabled, nor are they wireless. Until now BlueAnt has revolved solely based on Bluetooth connectivity with its outstanding headsets, but for odd reasons they decided to release their first ever headphones with a traditional wired connection. Whatever the case may be, I support that decision more than anything. Bluetooth headphones aren't quite ready to give us the same experience wired headphones can.

BlueAnt's Embrace headphones may be their first splurge into the headphone market, but at least we know they've got some kind of audio background nonetheless. How well do they stack up against a plethora of headphones currently invading the audio market? Prepare to brace yourselves, find out in the full review right after the cut!

Jaybird Freedom JF3 Wireless Bluetooth Headphones Review

The JayBird name is a staple when it comes to Bluetooth wireless audio accessories for those who have active lifestyles. The Freedom are the latest wireless Bluetooth headphones to come out from Jaybird, which has not long ago released an updated version of the Freedom, aka JF3, with new silicone ear stabilizing cushions and nothing more. There's nothing better than the freedom of wireless headphones, except for that butchered Bluetooth sound quality that is. We know why JayBird named their latest wireless headphones the Freedom, but that isn't enough for us, we want to fully test drive these to the ground. And so we have. Catch the full review right after that jump!

Aiaiai Swirl Earphones w/Mic Review

Aiaiai is a Danish headphones and earphones brand that creates creative and minimalistic products not only hipsters, but everyone can enjoy. The Aiaiai Swirl are in-ear earphones with the most simplistic design I have ever encountered when it comes to earphones. The Urbanears Plattan headphones come to mind when I think about minimalistic design. Besides the clean looks, the Swirl was built to last with the most durable materials made to withstand your heavy everyday music routine. I always appreciate it when portable accessories are developed with thought and a lot of attention to detail. The big questions is though, can the Swirl deliver a solid package? This and much more in the full review right after the cut!

Phiaton MS 400 Moderna Series Headphones Review

In a sea of headphones of all sorts and prices, the Phiaton MS 400 headphones while having been around for a while now, stand out from the crowd in more ways than one. I've had the pleasure to test quite a few headphones for a while now and when I first found out about Phiaton's MS 400 headphones I immediately got attracted. There's no denying the good looks these sport. Part of Phiaton's Moderna Series, the MS 400 headphones look like the pair of headphones you would get when you purchase a Ferrari. Distinctive red leather and real carbon fiber are mixed into making the MS 400 headphones and the result is one stunning pair of headphones. While the not so stunning price of $249 might seem too steep, yet it may actually be worth it this time. The full review is after the break. You won't want to miss it.

Denon AH-C 560R In-Ear Earphones Review

Denon is one of the world's leading companies in the audio industry with one of the most expensive and highly regarded headphones on the market. I'm not stranger to the Denon quality of headphones, but I am a newcomer when it comes to in-ears. Denon's portable line didn't really impress me all the much when I reviewed the Denon AH-D510R over-ear headphones. This time I've got my paws all over Denon's mobile in-ear offering, the AH-C 560R. These are going to run you exactly the same as the AH-D510R headphones at $99.99. While both have the same price, the two are worlds apart. Don't miss out the full review right after the break.

Future Sonics Atrio M5 Professional In-Ear Earphones

The Atrio M5 by Future Sonics may looks like a pair of in-ears straight from the future, at a time where earphones don't look as pretty and modern in some weird way, but the one thing these blue pair of curvy in-ears were designed for is sound. And boy oh boy do the Atrio M5 pack a punch of professional, studio quality sound.  Future Sonics may not be very known to most, but they are a brand that is well known in the musician and audiophile community. We've got the latest revision of the Atrios which have Future Sonics' very own proprietary MG7 10mm dynamic drivers. Don't miss the full review right after the break.
