Meze 99 Classics V2 Review!
Meze has a HUGE reputation for making beautiful headphones, which are incredibly comfortable, and sound great. I have to admit, I wasn't the biggest fan of the original 99 Classics.
Now refreshing the Classic line, Meze is claiming that the 99 V2 has a more neutral sound. Let's see if they can thread that needle. Can they make "mids junkies" like me happy, without alienating fans of the original 99's?

Aventho 100 Review!
Beyerdynamic is trying something a little different with these wireless headphones. They're smaller and rest ON the ear, but they still have a BIG driver making the sound. I took a listen, and these might be a GREAT fit for you! IF you have a smaller head...

Sony CRE-C20 OTC Hearing Aids!
I have mild hearing loss, and I spent a couple weeks using these hearing aids from Sony. No prescription needed! The experience was really interesting. Would these be the right fit for you?

Status Pro X long term test drive!
Spending a few weeks with the new triple driver earbuds from Status. This is a REALLY fun sound for consumer buds, with solid ANC, and decent battery life.
I like this vibe a LOT, but there's one small issue for our hearing health...
Saramonic Air review!
It’s LITTLE, so it’s ADORABLE!
Saramonic is delivering one of the most complete two channel wireless mic systems I’ve yet reviewed. Tons of accessories IN THE BOX! It has GREAT audio quality! It’s one of the smallest transmitters I’ve ever seen, and it can STILL use a wired lav. It’s really impressive!
So why aren’t I using them in my videos?

Spending a little time with a fun bang for buck audio option! Soundpeats has a treat for audio fans, offering a triple driver earbud at a VERY competitive price. But what are the compromises here?

Meze 105 Silva review!
Spending some quality time with a really pretty headphone. Meze makes some of the most comfortable audio gear I've ever used. The 105 Silva are a new variation on the Meze mid-range, and sport a really pretty wood finish.
Are they more than just a pretty face?

WH-1000XM6 Review PART 3!
ALRIGHT!
The XM6 are incredible travel ANC Bluetooth cans, but what if we SPENT MORE than what Sony was charging? Will we get more for our money moving up the food chain, or are we likely to get a COMPLETELY different kind of product?

I've eagerly been anticipating the release of the XM6, but my first impressions were a little disappointing.
This is still the best TRAVEL premium headphone on the market, but depending on your ears, they might need a little EQ help.
Here's what I did to change up the sound and LOVE these cans!

Samson Go Mic Mobile 2 Review!
This company helped kick off the wireless microphone revolution we enjoy today with the original Go Mic Mobile seven years ago, but a lot has changed since then. Samson is back with a refreshed wireless microphone kit. I'm glad to see them release an update, but are they prepared to compete in a REALLY competitive "pro-sumer" space?
Let's take a listen...

When you just have to cut the mic cable, but you still want good audio!
Boyamic tends to undercut brands like RODE and DJI. The refreshed Boyamic 2 arrive at a very attractive price, with a great set of features. It's solid pro-sumer hardware, but what's up with all this AI stuff?

NeoBuds Planar Review!
I'm a NUT for that planar punch! I'm still concerned about the longevity of EXPENSIVE true wireless earbuds, but if we're going to take TWS more seriously, we need to see more options in the premium space. Sound quality doesn't necessarily improve with a more expensive earbud, but we should see competition that delivers more specific tuning and presentation.
No one stumbles on Edifier by accident. This is something unique.

Playing with the Sony Bravia Theater U (a wireless neckband speaker) inspired a little trip down memory lane. Let's see how far this idea has evolved over eight years. If you want a premium portable speaker solution, Sony has a wild option to offer!

1More Sonoflow Mini review!
We can give our kids better options for listening, and help teach them better habits. It's not enough to just make a headphone smaller, we want to include good tools for kids and parents to control the experience. The Sonoflow Mini are a high recommendation on my list for parents.
Let me explain why...

Shokz OpenMeet UC review!
I love bone conduction headsets. They serve a unique role for folks who like keeping their ears open, cool, and uncovered. There's a general shape and build on these headsets, which we've seen refined over YEARS of using different products. It's exciting to see a wildly fresh take on a business headset from a brand known for making sport headphones.
The OpenMeet UC are unlike anything I've seen before...
BeBird Ear Cleaning cameras review!
Ears are kinda funky. Weird shapes, lots of "stuff" like wax, hard to care for, and REALLY sensitive. Adding a small ear camera to your family's medicine toolbox is a REALLY good idea. BeBird is hoping to make endoscopic cameras as common in homes as thermometers and scales.
Let's chat about some options for family health tech! Here's a look at the BeBird EarSIght Pro and Earsight Complete (and a look INSIDE my own ears)!
H2O Audio Review!
I'm a BIG fan of bone conduction headphones, but even these might be a bit above my pay grade! You've got to build audio to a different level to cater to folks competing in triathlons. For someone how takes casual hikes out in the hills, I'm definitely not working this headset as hard as it can go.
For the folks who NEED that kind of capability though, I think they're in for a treat...
KZ Zenith Review!
This brand helped introduce me to a whole world of cabled audio experiences. While I often hold them up as examples of the genre, I've kinda grown into preferring other solutions. The Zenith bring in some interesting new tech bits, and a four switch tuning feature, but most importantly, I think KZ is changing up how they tune their earbuds.
A little. I think...
