Review: Aurisonics ASG-1 (Rev 3)

Posted by at 2:00 pm

Aurisonics | In-Ear Monitors | $ 299.00
I rarely do product update reviews because they tend to be minor. Even with the previous update to the ASG-1, I only added an extension. Well, the third update to the 1 series is really a whole new product from Aurisonics. It offers a new shell that is more comfortable than its predecessor and updated sound. The new IEM is a welcome update to the old one that was already great.  (more…)

Harman Kardon | Over-Ear BlueTooth Headphones | $ 249.95
Harman Kardon may not be too well known in the headphone business, but its branches are: JBL, AKG, etc. They are legendary when it comes to speaker systems, but never really entered the headphone business too much themselves. Recently, they broke through offering a line of in-ears, over-ears, and an on-ear model. The BT, as the name could suggest, is their Bluetooth model that uses an over-ear design.  (more…)

Review: I-Mego Ztone

Posted by at 2:00 pm

I-Mego | In-Ear Monitors | $ 99.99
To be honest, I never saw I-Mego as a company that could appeal to the audiophile masses with neutral, accurate reproduction. That opinion has since changed as the Ztone proved to be able to deliver this type of sound, but also give the bass-heads exactly what they want with the swap of tips. The Ztone were designed to be a nice studio-style IEM that is very stylish.  (more…)

Review: Ferrari by Logic3 R300

Logic3 | Over-Ear Headphones | $ 349.00
Red, black, silver, and sporty. All of these are classical Ferrari coloring schemes. This scheme finds its way into the new Ferrari by Logic3 headphone. Matching the price of their other flagship, the T350, the R300 holds a slightly different signature, but offers the same exact package as the flagship brother, but in a more portable package.  (more…)

Review: Dunu Detonator (DN-22M)

Posted by at 2:15 pm

[IMG]
Dunu | In-Ear Monitor | $ 45.00

Dunu’s lower-tier offerings have always been some of my favorite. The previously reviewed DN-12, the Trident, is one of my biggest recommendations in the < 50 dollar price range. The DN-22 aims to offer the same type of value being in the same price range, but it also comes equipped with a remote and mic for smartphone use. Dunu’s able to capture the same value that was in the Trident in their new Detonators.  (more…)

Review: iFrogz Aura

Posted by at 12:00 pm

[IMG]iFrogz | Over-Ear Headphones | $129.99

iFrogz has traditionally been a company that strives to create the perfect mix of style and value, while maintaining respectable audio quality. The iFrogz Aura Headphones represent the company’s first true attempt at high quality audio. While iFrogz made many correct decisions in the design of these headphones, there are still some areas in which they can improve.  (more…)

Review: Braven BRV-1

Posted by at 12:00 pm

[IMG]Braven | Speaker | $ 179.99

Braven is a company that seems to have their focus in the bluetooth speaker market. In the dense world of audio, it seems that a new BT speaker pops up every day. Like the previous couple I’ve recently reviewed, this one is spec’d to be waterproof as well. The overall audio quality isn’t too bad either.  (more…)

Review: Atomic Floyd Powere Jax

Posted by at 4:00 pm

Atomic Floyd | In-Ear Monitor | $ 150.00

Atomic Floyd has become a company that I’ve learned to respect. Their design aspects are very unique and stand out of a crowd. They are very attractive, but don’t skimp when it comes to the sound that the headphones pump out. Their combination of these two makes the PowerJax a very great IEM in its price bracket.  (more…)

Review: OlloClip

OlloClip | Detachable Lens | $ 69.99

With each iteration of the iPhone, Apple has included minute upgrades to the camera. With the iPhone 5, a new lens was placed on it. Phone cameras have improved vastly in the past few years. Their flexability, however, has remained quite constant. They make great point ‘n shoots, and everyone knows that the best camera is the one on you. The OlloClip hopes to extend the power of the iPhone’s camera by supplying a lens.  (more…)

Review: SOL REPUBLIC Master Tracks

Posted by at 2:00 pm

SOL REPUBLIC | Over-Ear Headphones | $ 199.99

SOL REPUBLIC has really shown in the past that they can produce a pair of headphones that looks stylish and sounds great at the same time. Their Tracks Ultra were a testament to that. SOL REPUBLIC, however, has yet to expand to something larger than on-ear headphones. That is, until now, as they release the new Master Tracks Headphones.  (more…)
