I recently got fed up with how much noise my headphone cable was making whenever it touched my collar. It’s such a small thing, really, but once you start to think about those kind of things, they only get more annoying by the second, like the sound of air whistling its way into your HVAC more »

A full quarter of my closet is dedicated strictly to Lebowski Fest t-shirts. I own four pairs of shoes, half of which are flip flops, and one pair of which is covered with genuine imitation Astroturf. My ride is a 2001 PT Cruiser covered in Pastafarian propaganda stickers and an eighth-inch layer of dirt. I more »

You guys may remember the custom Wookiee the Chew Crossfade LP headphones that V-Moda so kindly made for me at last year’s CES. To say that I loved them is an understatement, but I have to admit, they really didn’t work for most of the music in my collection. Throw something like Fatboy Slim or more »

Even my non-techy friends generally have a reasonable idea of what my job entails. I tell them I’m reviewing a new set of electrostatic speakers, and while they may not know what “electrostatic” means, they at least get the whole speaker concept.

Is an MHL cable worth your investment? The answer to that question, of course, depends on whether or not you have a smart phone with MHL output capabilities, and an input device capable of accepting such a connection. And I can’t answer either of those for you. But supposing you do have both an MHL-capable more »

As I said in my review of the BDP-93 a couple years back, OPPO doesn’t make Blu-ray players for everyone. The BDP-93 was a luxury device, with luxury features, and a relatively luxury price tag of $499. Add even more luxury features, not to mention ten digits to its model number, and—as you might imagine—the more »
