REVIEW – When tech goes tiny, the impossible becomes possible—and it’s true with audio, as well. Take the Edifier NeoBuds True Wireless Planar Magnetic Noise Canceling Earbuds as an example. This mouthful of an in-ear monitor (IEM) uses a speaker design more common in headphones than earphones. The result is a pair of earbuds (what Edifier calls them) that sound—well, like an expensive pair of planar headphones. Translation: You’ll love them.

REVIEW – There are large speakers and there are small speakers. Then, there are really small speakers like this—the Innogo PowerBeat Speaker. This petite circular speaker can do a lot for a speaker its size—and then some. ⬇︎ Jump to summary (pros/cons)Price: $36Where to buy: InnogoWhat is it?

REVIEW – Wow, I get to review perhaps the silliest-named earbuds yet—the Edifier LolliClip Open-ear True Wireless Earbuds. I can hear one of my friends ask: “Hey, what earphones are those?” Me: “They’re called LolliClips.” Friend: “Ooooohkaaaay (snickering)”. The laugh may be on them, because the LolliClips don’t sound as silly as their name. This is going to be fun. ⬇︎ Jump to summary (pros/cons)Price: $129.99Where to buy: AmazonWhat is it?

REVIEW – For years (like, forever), my go-to speakers for my computer set-up have been powered. Powered simply means that the speakers have a built-in amplifier (all speakers require a power source to produce audio). Passive—as opposed to power—speakers, have no power themselves but must be connected to a power source such as a separate amp or stereo receiver to produce audio. There are pros and cons to each speaker type, but most computer speakers are powered—it’s simpler and saves desktop space.

REVIEW – Have you ever heard the saying “You must go back to move forward”? Nah, me neither. However, that bit of sage advice might apply to the “new” Master & Dynamic ME05 wired earphones. These little gems hark back to the time when most wireless earphones were either too meh-sounding, too expensive, or both. Plus, wired earphonescould always be plugged into the headphone port on any smartphone or iPod—remember those? So here we are—returning to the M&D ME05 earphones but with some added tech.
