Listening to music when you're not near your surround sound system should be easy. Your phone holds thousands of songs locally, has access to millions through your subscription service and can even beam music digitally [...]

You've got two options when rocking your Beats by Dre headphones: Look like every other person who happens to have the exact same pair or do what Lil Wayne did, and encrust them with a million [...]

There are a lot of things $1000 will buy you. A few hours at the "club." Rent or a good chunk of your mortgage payment. A down payment on a Rolex. It will also get [...]

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 [...]

No matter what form they take, cords are painfully detrimental to our lives. They add lengthy un-knotting times to the work around our home, they're unsightly when strewn about our desk, and in some cases they [...]

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 [...]
