Alienware AW720H review

Alienware has a reputation for making sleek, flashy gaming computers, but not much of a reputation when it comes to audio. The Alienware AW720H wireless gaming headset is its newest entry into the audio space, the first in almost a year. This company doesn’t flood the market with new headsets like other brands, which means […]

Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II review

Whenever anyone thinks about true wireless earphones, a handful of brands come to mind—and Bose is looking to make a bigger name for itself against the likes of Apple and Sony.

JBL Tune 500 review

The JBL Tune 500 is laser-focused on being a budget pick. It’s a wired pair of on-ear headphones with an inline microphone. At just $29.99 USD it’s undercutting almost every other pair of headphones on the market. Usually a product this cheap comes with serious flaws, and the JBL Tune 500 has many, but are […]

JBL Tune 125TWS Review

The inexpensive JBL Tune 125TWS sits in a crowded JBL lineup. It’s a simple music-oriented pair of earbuds with not much in the way of added luxuries, but let’s see how it sounds and feels. We tested the JBL Tune 125TWS for nine days to assess how well it works, how it differs from other […]

JBL Live 660NC review

Look, JBL puts out a lot of products. The company could be the most prolific manufacturer in the audio space, covering a pretty wide spread in terms of quality and price. The JBL Live 660NC lands pretty much smack dab in the middle of the price spectrum, offering active noise cancelling, software features, and built-in […]

Sennheiser HD 600 review

One of my favorite parts of high-end audio is that good tools generally don’t go out of style, even decades later. Audio has come far enough that you don’t really need to worry about how well your headphones perform past a certain point, and going farther means chasing diminishing returns. The Sennheiser HD 600 is […]

Sennheiser HD 560S review

Sennheiser is a household name among audiophiles, and lately it’s been on a tear with updates to its higher-end headphones and in-ears.

Skullcandy Indy Evo review

The Skullcandy Indy Evo is an update to the older Skullcandy Indy, but this time it’s smaller, it sounds better, and it costs more. It seems promising with IP55 water and dust resistance, Tile integration, and more features in the Skullcandy app, but every product has its caveats. We want to see how the Skullcandy […]
