That’s why, in this guide, we’re going to show you how you can replace the faulty battery on your Beats headphones yourself....

In a digital and virtual world, communication is something you would want to get right at all costs. How many times have you lost a game because of faulty communication? How many times have you had to say “excuse me, could you say that again” during a business meeting? These simple gaps in communication audio may not look that serious. Yet, as they pile up things can get really — really — frustrating....
They say one is better than none. But when it comes to your AirPods, that’s simply unacceptable. Trying to relax and immerse yourself in good music or a movie is virtually impossible with only one Airpod. Plus, AirPods don’t exactly come cheap, so you deserve the full stereo sound quality they can offer. We hear your frustration, so we’ve put together this handy guide that tackles all the possible reasons why one of your AirPods isn’t working....
There is a smorgasbord of budget CHI-FI IEMs named “Zero”. Storied brands such as BGVP, Tanchjim, and Truthear all have budget IEMs christened “Zero.” Thankfully, not all are ranked ZERO in reviewer scores, with some having quite decent levels of acclaim, despite their namesake. Anyway, why the name “Zero”? Apparently, 7Hz named this pair Zero, as they envisioned a vast eternity without boundaries and did not want to be confined by the limits of human imagination....
As a programmer, I spent long hours in front of the computer. I found that wearing headphones helps me focus better. My standard mode for music listening is the standard Apple issued EarPods. I thought that was good enough. Until I got my BOSE QuietComfort 35 (QC35). Prior to the purchase, I have seen other colleagues wearing the QC25, the wired version of QC35. With the headphones on, they seem to go into a zen-like mode, unperturbed by the environment....
This slideshow requires JavaScript. I’ve seen the look in their eyes. Fearless, hungry, full of fire, staring directly at the sun and challenging all comers. Those in the shade can only admire the ferocity, audacity and borderline insanity. Like a raging bull charging to the fore, FiiO are marching towards immortality, bent on world conqueration, celebration and inebriation (in that order). Sorta like the movie 300, only on Xerxes’ winning side....

A long time ago in a neighborhood far far away, my best friend and I sat under the stars and contemplated life. We were teenage idealists, and attempted to describe what made the world a better place, in one word. “Stability”, I said at once, feeling proud. My pal replied, “compactness”, and I’ve never looked more confused. “So everything is smaller and easier to carry, you know? Get more things done....
Where to Buy The Sony WF-1000XM3 is available on: Introduction The Sony WF-1000XM3’s predecessor, the WF-1000X, did not receive good reviews when it launched in 2017. Rightfully so. The WF-1000X was Sony’s first foray into the true wireless (TWS) market and it has issues that are common to first-gen products – unstable connection, average battery life, and a less than stellar noise cancellation capability. Sony’s answer was to take in all the feedback, improve upon them, and gave the product an even clumsier naming convention....
You may be familiar with Thieaudio. The company is the house brand of Chinese portable audio retail giant Linsoul and has made waves with a variety of very successful IEMs. From affordable options such as the Legacy 3 to higher-end offerings like the Monarch, one aspect has been quite consistent within their lineup: the integration of multiple driver types into semi-custom shaped resin shells. Well, that is, until now. The Elixir are a new approach for Thieaudio....
First Impressions This is my first encounter with a TRN product. The VX Pro, in Midnight blue, is TRN’s newest hybrid flagship monitor, retailing for sub-USD$100, and the culmination of more than 2 years of development. The excellent fit and finish is immediately noticeable, with smooth rounded features on every surface. Regarding sound quality, I find them highly sensitive to ear tip selection. Thankfully, many good choices are included, including foam tips, which serve me best....
But when it finally arrived, I ripped off the packaging to reveal an IEM that looks exactly like the product picture. This has to be hands down the most beautiful IEM that you can get at this price range. Anyone who saw this VJJB V1s was convinced that it is way more expensive than it was retailing for. So, the VJJB V1s is winning big in the visual department but does it pass our test as a quality budget IEM?...
Do you like to watch TV late at night but often have to listen to your favorite movies at 30% volume so you don’t bother others trying to sleep? Perhaps you want to block out the noise of your surroundings while catching up on Stranger Things, then a pair of wireless TV headphones could be just what you need. This way, you get to enjoy your TV at a comfortable volume without waking the neighbors or disturbing the person sleeping next to you....
Apple officially announced the launching of AirPods Pro 2, during the September 7 Apple Event. These redesigned AirPods Pro 2 claim to boast better sound, upgraded noise cancellation, and touch controls. The Pros 2 came three years after the original AirPods Pro (launched in 2019), which quickly garnered praise and made their way onto many “best wireless earbuds” lists. So, it’s not surprising that there’s much anticipation over the new things the AirPods Pro 2 have to offer....
With the rise of mobile gaming in recent years, it seems only wise to keep up with the changing times. That’s why it’s only a matter of time for the well-known gaming peripheral brand, HyperX, to release its own gaming earbuds — the HyperX Cloud Earbuds. But while they show promise in portability, many are still hesitant to make the switch from over-ear headsets to gaming earbuds. With HyperX’s eminence in sound quality, are the Cloud Earbuds the stepping stone we’ve been looking for?...
No other brand of headphone has such an active community of DIY tweakers, modifiers, designers and custom part manufacturers. The abundance of alternative parts and methodologies can, unfortunately, be quite overwhelming for the novice just getting started. You can modify for comfort, appearance, weight, etc, but today we’re going to primarily focus on changing (and hopefully improving) the sound of your Grados. From my experience, the modifications that result in the greatest transformations in sound can be listed (in order from most impact to least) as: I’m purposely overlooking cables as they fall outside the purview of this article and all testing was done with standardized high-quality copper Mogami cables....
The world of Chi-Fi IEMs is an extremely volatile market. Those that follow the headphone trends see more brightly (but briefly) burning super-stars come and go than basically in any other tech market. Seldom do even high-performers remain in the spotlight, and all too quickly, the enthusiasts promptly move on to pursue ‘the next best thing.’ Although, you’ve likely heard of (and remember) some of the classics. Those models that stood out as best in class, offering the best value for your money and the most performance at their price point....
I have been an avid headphone user for many years now. I think it’s fair to say that I’ve got to the point where I would always prefer to listen to music through headphones than loudspeakers. In all fairness, perhaps one of the main reasons for this is because I don’t live alone and my family really don’t share my taste in music. Also, I do like to listen to my music fairly loud – far louder than I would through speakers....
Effect Audio is a company constantly turning convention on its side, tinkering with rare metals, geometry, braiding, and insulation to achieve their desired sound. Founded in 2009 by Suyang, they shot to fame with the original Leonidas, a hybrid cable of pure silver and gold-plated silver. Until today it has many fans, and now they’re hungry for a sequel of Terminator 2 (not Speed 2) proportions. Burden of the Sequel Enter the mighty Leonidas II....
