Sennheiser isn’t known for releasing headphones that will attract the kind of attention celebrity-themed ones do these days, but the quality of the product and the trust the brand earns is why you should consider a good pair from them. The Momentum over-ear headphones are a stylish pair (by Sennheiser standards) that offer some of the most balanced sound you can find for the price.

Roots T2 Tuff cases main.jpg

 

The iPhone may be a robust piece of hardware, but it’s also delicate and fragile in a lot of ways, which is where the T2 Tuff cases from Roots come in. Rubberized, thick and rugged, the extra bulk these add is purely for protective purposes, ensuring that your phone doesn’t meet an unfortunate end by an act of clumsiness, accidental or otherwise.

That instant where you accidentally drop your phone is like one of those slow-motion scenes in the movies where something valuable might meet an unfortunate end. The immediate aftermath isn’t any better when you’re frantically looking to make sure the thing works, and that it didn’t suffer too much damage. Smartphones are pretty delicate for all the engineering that goes into them, and Otterbox’s Armor Series case for the iPhone is designed to withstand some serious punishment.

Review: Sony SmartWatch

by Blogger on ‎01-24-2013 06:19 PM

Smartwatch face.jpgAs timeless (no pun intended) and fashionable as watches have been for such a long time, smart watches have been a bit of a tougher sell.

Sony has been pushing this concept with its SmartWatch, a device that may have flown under the radar a little bit since it launched, but is worth a look if you like having it integrate with your compatible Android phone.

Supertooth is a company known for blending together audio products with Bluetooth functionality, and the Melody on-ear headphones are one of the newest products sticking to that combination. Lightweight, user-friendly and well thought out, the Melody headphones are a decent set, but not quite to the level that they should be.

Waterproof smartphone cases are a big trend at this year’s CES, and a couple of the standouts that I came across are from Otterbox and Griffin.
