id America The New Metropolitan In-Ear Headphones Review

May 27, 2013/ Mike Palumbo

Our case-making friends over at id America are at it again with their newly released the new Metropolitan in-ear headphones, and we are very excited to give them a thorough review. What’s great about these headphones is they won’t burn a hole in your pocket. Coming in at under $30, they are just as affordable as the iPhone cases we all spend money on. We had our hands on some of id America's other offering, namely the company's Spark in-ear headphones which we found to be good enough to recommend. So naturally were hoping the low price point of the Metropolitan won’t come with lower build and sound quality. Let’s jump right into the review and give you all a break down of the features, build quality, and sound to see if id America has another winner on their hands.

Harman Kardon NC Headphones Review

April 25, 2013/ Nir Schneider

When Harman Kardon introduced its first line of consumer headphones last year we marveled their high-end, unparalleled aesthetics and appreciated the fine audio quality that came with it all. In many ways Harman Kardon's CL Classic headphones were and still are a trowback of modern sophistication. They've done their job at pleasing our ears, our tasteful appetite for good design and even our wallet. So how does it get any better than this? I'll tell you how, Harman Kardon's $300 flagship NC headphones might possibly one up their smaller counterpart with premium features like active noise-canceling and gargantuan cups that envelop your ears like some hungry hippo. But how well do they fare when put up against a $200 pair of active noise-canceling headphones? Let's find out!

NuForce NE-700M Sound-Isolating In-Ear Headphones Review

April 18, 2013/ Mike Palumbo

Oh boy! Our good friends over at NuForce are at it again with a fresh new line of in-ear headphones just in time for the warmer days ahead. It seems NuForce blesses us all with superior products this time a year and it usually brings a smile to our faces. I was fortunate enough to have Nuforce send me out a pair of their latest noise-isolating NE-700M in-ear headphones. Not to be confused with the NE-7M in-ears, but if the 700m are equivalent to the older versions, we are in for a very nice treat. Big sound in a small package is what I am expecting from the 2013 version sent my way for review. What’s fabulous about Nuforce is their price point for these types of in-ear headphones. Coming in at under $80 sounds like a great value to me, so lets get right into this review!

February 23, 2013/ Bobby Zhang

At CES 2013, Sol Republic unveiled the Master Tracks, their top-of-the line over-ear headphones that sets its sights on taking over what Dr. Dre and the Beats began. Designed with simplicity in mind, the Master Tracks don't scream for attention with its matte black finish. However, the same cannot be said about its sound experience. With celebrities such as Steve Aoki, Benny Benassi, and Lil Jon as Sol Republic's "Saviors of Sound," you can't help but wonder what all this hype is about, and neither could we. Head on past the break as we go ears-on to find out if the Master Tracks are worthy of our recommendation.

Should you be rocking a pair of UE 9000 in the name of wireless audio? Find out in our comprehensive review down below!

Just Mobile HeadStand Review

February 02, 2013/ Nir Schneider

Believe it or not, but headphone stands is a serious thing amongst audiophile. These platforms of headphone worship come in many shapes, sizes and materials as if headphones were smartphones in need of a flashy case. If you've got an expensive pair of cans lying around, you're just the type of person that would show a keen interest in such a stand. Like the premium look of aluminum? So do we, and we can't think of any other company that can make a headphone stand entirely out of aluminum none other than Just Mobile. These guys live, breath and some might even say snort this stuff 365. Just Mobile's HeadStand is a svelte aluminum stand designed to keep your headphones in the one designated spot they deserve. More after the break!
