What is Noise Cancelling? (& Why Your Next Headphones Should Have It)

Noise-cancelling is one of the big differentiators on the new Apple Airpods Pro over the standard Airpods, and it’s a big selling point of some of the most popular headphones for travel on Amazon period. Headphones like the Airpods Pro, the new ever-popular Sony MX-1000M3, the Bose QC35’s (and newer Bose 700’s) are the ones you’ll generally see people using around town and especially on flights. At least a part of the reason for this,

Sony WH-XB900N

Sony XB900N Complete Walkthrough: Amazing Noise Cancellation for Less

I did a video not too long ago on the Sony WH-1000M3 noise-canceling headphones and, long story, short? I (and most reviewers I know, loved them). They were good looking, had great sound and noise cancellation, were comfortable, etc. The only thing that would stop you from buying them if you were in the market for over-the-ear noise canceling headphones, was maybe the price. They are $350. Well, it seems since the success of those

Marshall sent me their new Marshall Tufton outdoor, portable Bluetooth speaker so I figured I’d test it in the environment it was meant to be used for: I threw a BBQ.

Sony HT-Z9F Soundbar Complete Walkthrough: Closest to Theater Sound You Can Get for the Money

This video is way overdue. I’ve been slammed with travel and other content and the fact you can’t do a video on a soundbar without being in a house, doesn’t help. Regardless, I finally got some time with the Sony HT-Z9F Sound Bar and, well, I’m mad I didn’t get to it earlier. More on that later, though. Right now, let’s start this complete walkthrough with what precisely this HT-Z9F Sound Bar’s hardware consists of.

Sony 1000XM3 Complete Walkthrough: Sony’s Newest Noise Cancelling Headphones

Sony just released their new noise-canceling headphones the 1000XM3 (aka the 1000x Mark 3). Since they were kind enough to send me a pair to test out as well as explain some of the differences between the 1000XM2 and 1000XM3, I figured we should try and do a complete walkthrough on them as is the usual on this channel. If you aren’t familiar a complete walkthrough on my channel is where I try to go

VI Headset: First Ever Bluetooth Headset with AI Run Coaching (Video)

I’m not a runner. I wish I was, though. I live in a part of NYC that has a beautiful park along the river that is pretty much the perfect spot for running, but I’m just not good at running. Like at all. I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve gone for a run and the treadmill is basically my idea of torture. So when LifeBeam reached out and told me

LG Tone Studio: Awesome Surround Sound without All the Speakers

When I was in Barcelona this year at the LG booth, a rep for LG told me he had something he wanted me to see. We walked into a glass room with a racing game playing on a wall-mounted TV and a horseshoe-shaped gadget resting carefully underneath. He told me to put the device around my neck and handed me a controller. I un-paused the game and began to try to drive around in the game. He

MP3 CD Player

The MP3 Format Just Died

End of an era, people. The MP3, that revolutionary file format that basically made carrying more than 15 or so songs in your pocket (and started the death of the CD as well), has just been officially killed. The Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits, the German agency that invented the MP3 and licenses it out, has just ended its licensing program. In other words, there won’t be any new devices supporting the file format going forward. Essentially,
