AirPods are easy to lose and often get stolen. This concern makes many people wonder if there’s a way they can block lost AirPods from being used by someone else. Even better, can you track your AirPods and potentially get them back? The sad truth is, there is not much you can do when your AirPods are stolen or lost. And this is obviously frustrating since you spend a lot of money on your AirPods and wouldn’t want other people just walking away with them....

Logitech and Corsair are two industry-leading gaming headphone manufacturers. Both aim to provide the highest quality standards, and the G Pro X and Void RGB Elite reflect this ambition. However, in this comparison, one headset is far superior in almost every aspect. But that doesn’t answer if the wired G Pro X can compete with the Void RGB Elite Bluetooth functionality. Is wireless the deciding factor in this contest? Which headset swept the board against their competitor?...

Brief History of Audeze Audeze, a California-based company, makes high-end audio accessories. They are extremely well-known for their planar driver technology in their headphones. It is said that the founders met an engineer who developed specialized circuit material for NASA in 2008. They were convinced that the material will be perfect to make planar drivers for headphones. With that, they went and created their first pair of planar headphones – LCD-1....

Not much is known about the elusive manufacturer of ultra budget IEMs, Geek Wold (no typo there; that is really the name of the company). Before the GK10, the subject of today’s review, Geek Wold released only one other product, the GK3, which were priced below USD$25. The GK3 were received without much fanfare. The opinion of most reviewers was that, while they weren’t the worst thing on the market, the tonal balance was pretty off, the treble and upper mids were shrill, and the overall product was about what you’d expect at around USD$25....

Earlier this year, Chinese headphone manufacturer GoldPlanar finally made the leap from “a company no one’s heard of” to “a company that most dedicated headphone nuts know about” (if perhaps begrudgingly) with their over-ear planar-magnetic headphones, the GL2000. The GL2000 earned their own degree of controversy, with many praising them as a valuable addition to the planar-magnetic headphone market, and others denigrating them as a poor value proposition at over USD$600....

Topping has had a bit of a roller-coaster ride over the last few years with headphone audiophiles. At their peak, Topping products were the darlings of the measurements-are-all crowd, and many felt they set the price-for-performance standard. But lately, it seems things have cooled off a bit, and the Topping hype is far quieter. Likely, part of the reason for this cooling off can be attributed to highly publicized issues with several of their models....

The audio frequency spectrum represents the range of frequencies that the human ear can interpret. Sound frequency is measured in Hertz (Hz) unit. This audible frequency range, in the average person at birth, is from 20Hz to 20000Hz, or 20 kHz. Due to age and other factors, including hearing damage, this range degrades over time, but for the average person, the 20 – 20000Hz range describes, and also represents what we hear in terms of frequency, or in terms of music, pitch....

When it comes to choosing headphones, some features can objectively tell you how well they’ll sound. For example, you can check its frequency response rate, which should ideally be at least 20 Hz – 20 kHz. You can also check what Bluetooth codecs it implements to know how accurately it compresses and transmits audio data. And, you can even check its signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), which should land in the 60-100 dB range for clearer sound quality....

Introduction Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the future. Sure, we’re missing actual robot butlers (don’t tell that to my Roomba – he’s a bit self-conscious), flying cars, and self-tying sneakers (turns out I’m wrong on this one), but we do have the ability to create something from seemingly nothing. 3D printers are becoming near ubiquitous, and although I’m a fairly late adopter, I’m jumping in with both feet. If you are unfamiliar with 3D printing, there are two main components....

So you’re ready to start the day right, eat breakfast, put on some tunes on your AirPods, and head to work. But for some reason, only one of your AirPods seems to work – and when you check, you see a flashing green light on the charging case. You have no idea why your AirPods start acting up except for the flashing green light– as if it’s a cryptic message from your AirPods to decode....

The Astro Gaming A10 is an impressive budget-friendly headset from Astro that comes in at half of the price of the Corsair Void RGB Elite Wireless. The price and the fact the Void Elite are wireless, are the two most significant differences between the gaming headsets. It will be tough for the A10s to compete with the Void Elite’s wireless functionality, however, that isn’t the most important aspect for a pair of gaming headphones....

That’s why gaming headphones manufacturers constantly push its competition to offer the best sound, comfort, and functionality with new lines of gaming headphones. Every year, a new standard is set, and old pairs of gaming headphones are dropping off. Despite this ongoing race, one company continually proves its headphones’ lasting performance — Razer, especially with its Razer Kraken Series....

Sennheiser are a well-known brand that speaks a big game. Their statement of having a “vision of shaping the audio world of tomorrow” comes with a lot of promise. Saying your products are “famous throughout the world” takes talking game to a whole new level. However, Sennheiser isn’t near the first brands that come to mind when I think of high-quality gaming headphones. This leads me to question if these claims are true for their gaming headsets as well....

To make things worse, you’ll also have to learn the various download limitations and how to get around them....

As true wireless earbuds, Galaxy Buds are also susceptible to suddenly popping out of user’s ears while on the move or simply getting lost because of their small build. And if you’re here, that means you’ve figured this out the hard way. Unfortunately, locating your lost Galaxy Buds isn’t straightforward, especially because of the different variables — such as the different companion apps available, model compatibility, and even the Buds’ current status (whether they’re connected or not)....

Have you ever used your headphones and noticed that one side is louder than the other? You’ve tried adjusting the audio jack, unplugging it or twisting it around with no such luck. This can be especially frustrating when one side delivers a full spectrum of quality melodies while the other is slightly muted or completely quiet. You might be thinking about ditching your headphones for a new pair, but don’t throw them out just yet....
