When we heard there was a collaboration between Diesel and Monster (you know the maker of those cables they always try to sell you when you buy a new TV) in the works, we immediately [...]

If you're quickly passing by this post because you see the $300+ price tag at the bottom, we urge you to wait! These headphones are actually cheap. Your eyes are wandering off again, aren't they? Now you [...]

Don't get us wrong, we're all for helping the planet and all, but there are too many eco-friendly products out there where the designer clearly thought "eco-friendly" meant "crappily made." What's the point of trying to [...]

We frankly don't understand how you could live in Paris. Yeah, we get that there's great food and beautiful women and all, but how do you not spend every waking minute in collette? If somehow we could [...]

When we first get a new pair of headphones we treat them with the same delicacy that we would a newborn—we'll place them down gently, carry them with care, and try our best not to [...]

Before Steve Jobs came along, we didn't even consider white as a color option for our gear. We drove cherry red muscle cars, had jet black audio equipment and—for a brief period in the 80's— [...]

Not since third grade and that bumper bowling party has it been cool to have things bouncing off the walls on the way to their intended destination. It's cool for racquetball or squash because, well, [...]

Any time we wear a pair of headphones that aren't wireless, we feel like one of those kids on a backpack leash you see at the mall. They get tangled, knotted and—with a quick turn of [...]

Bluetooth technology, in theory, is awesome. No cords to get tangled up when you're on the treadmill. No wires that you have to plug in to get your sweet jams from your phone to your [...]

As guys, we like to take our workouts seriously, it's how we balance out the empty beer bottles we accrue each weekend. This means we don't walk on a treadmill for 10 minutes while watching Judge [...]

How many different ways do you have to get your music off of your cell phone into your ears? How about out of your computer? Between the earbuds or headphones with all the hyperneodidium dynamamic-super-hyperactive [...]

Straight from the alien planet known as Moshi come the Moonrock Black Earbuds. Ok, so maybe that's not entirely. They're not really from outer space, and hell, the earbuds themselves are more red than they [...]

Nixon is a name that needs no introduction around these parts... but they don't just make the hugest collection of watches you want to own. Nixon makes headphones too. The latest entry in the Nixon [...]
