Yamaha NX-U10 USB Speaker Video [0.23] by clint,January 07, 2007 20:00

The Yamaha NX-U10 USB speaker is a multi-faced speaker that can be powered in almost any way imaginable... except for fuel cell or solar. OK, so it takes USB power, batteries and even AC - but it's still a cool option for getting sound that bests the often underwhelming sound quality of most laptops. With its lightweight styling and surprisingly loud output levels, the NX-U10 will make for a portable speaker solution that won't take up much room and fits nicely into your laptop case.

Speaker Face-Off III: High End Bookshelves [0.23] by Gene,May 31, 2005 20:00

You may be puzzled when you look at this Loudspeaker Face Off Review and notice that there are brands and models of Loudspeakers ranging drastically in price and size. There are reasons to our madness as to why we choose such a diverse range of Loudspeakers to review: 1) These were the speakers available to us for the review. 2) Most importantly, price and size don't always dictate quality. So on with the Face Off we say, and bring on the music!

If you haven't checked out the latest portable GPS offerings, you are missing out. In the last couple of years, the technology has really reached a saturation point that has brought in-car navigation to the masses, and the prices continue to fall while features and quality rise. TomTom is one of the leaders in portable GPS units, and I was thrilled at the chance to review one of their latest offerings, the GO 720.

The Power of the Placebo Effect in Audio & Beyond [0.23] by Gene,November 23, 2010 11:00

I never thought I could fall victim to the placebo effect being the skeptic that I am in nature. Last weekend's trip to the mall proved me wrong when I was stopped by an attractive booth babe trying to sell me a magical power bracelet to restore my balance and increase strength. This experience caused me to re-evaluate the influence of the power of suggestion and just how important it is to do controlled double blind testing in such instances. I wonder how long it will be before some exotic cable vendor starts slapping these power bands onto their speaker cables, or a company manufacturing sexual enhancement products adopts them for the bedroom touting it as safe and natural alternative to Viagra. Trust me it's coming.

Klipsch Image Earphones Review [0.23] by jclarke,February 26, 2008 00:45

The Klipsch Image earphones are proported to be the "world's smallest high performance earphones," and there is no doubt that they are unlike anything I have seen. I remember seeing them at CEDIA last year and thinking that they would probably be yet another overpriced, mediocre sounding earbud for the iPod. Recently Klipsch sent me a pair and I have been using the Image earphones for a couple of months now, and I am pleased to tell you that I had it all wrong.
