When was the last time you were at a party that didn't involve someone busting out their iPhone and party-jacking the music? We can't say definitively, but it was probably before the iPhone existed. It's ok though, we've all been there and we're guilty of it too. After all, one man can only take so much Kenny G or ... continue reading

Thanks to the likes of Halo and Call of Duty, it's no longer a social faux-pas to be a gamer. If you're a gamer that's computer inclined, gaming on the go can be difficult. If you're not rich as balls (can afford Alienware), you're going to be stuck with whatever generic speakers shipped in your laptop. As you well ... continue reading
It’s some weird law that the handful of songs you like least on your iPhone will always pop up more frequently in shuffle than the songs you love. This makes it annoying when you’re docking your iPhone and you either have to go over and change it or use the cheap-o remote that came with the unit. Better option: ... continue reading
Think of all the money you’ve spent on dollar store twist-ties in an attempt to corral the wires from your electronics over the years.

Have you ever wanted one of your friends to hear some track you have on your iPhone or other cellular device only to realize the only way to accomplish it is for you to put one ear-bud in your ear and give the other to your friend? Yeah, there’s got to be a better way. Thanks to the Perch Mobile Wireless Speaker ... continue reading

Don’t call us oldbut sometimes music can be too loud. Yeah, we’re all for tracks with bass that rattles your rearview and amps pinned to 11, but sometimes you just want to chill. For those times, forget the big tech setup you’ve got, and drop your iPhone into the Koostik. The Koostik uses your iPhone’s ... continue reading
The iDock party has been going on since Apple's device arsenal was limited to iPods only. Leave it to Bang & Olufsen to arrive last and show everyone up when they do. The BeoSound 8 has propriety conical drivers, high-performance amplifierrs and the same sort of crazy engineering (it changes sound profile based ... continue reading
What has bluetooth, a cool name, fits in the palm of your hand, weighs less than a pound, and is the best new gadget on the market? Spoiler alert, it's not a new iPhone, but it can connect to it. The Jawbone Jambox is a bluetooth speaker - and speakerphone - that is slightly larger than 6" long and weighs less than ... continue reading
Even if we weren't in the midst of a vintage revival, we would still make no bones about our love of the classic audio experience.

The combination of metal and wood, the organic and geometric lines, something about it ... continue reading

Once ... continue reading
Back when MP3 players were relatively new, a wave of portable music systems came out capitalizing on the trend. These little plastic things ran off a couple of batteries, or perhaps just a big wound up rubber band, and could be toted to the beach, the tailgate, or anywhere that could benefit from some tunes. Unfortunately, ... continue reading
When it comes to gadgets, bells and whistles are all that matter. If they didn't, you would still be rocking a Startac instead of that app happy, death grip susceptible, toilet entertainment device known as the iPhone. The same goes for your dock. Why just have speakers and charging when you get everything else the ... continue reading
