February 2013 was supposed to be a very important month for me and the rest of the staff since during this month not one but two very special game titles were scheduled for release, first the Dragonborn DLC add-on for The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim and the long awaited Aliens Colonial Marines which as the title suggests was made after one of the best sci-fi/thriller movies of all time, Aliens. Unfortunately although the Dragonborn DLC proved to be worthy of our enthusiasm i can't really say the same about Aliens Colonial Marines since after having played with it for almost 6 hours straight it left us with a bitter taste (mostly due to gameplay and graphics). Had Sega released the game 3 years ago there's a good chance that we would all be astonished by it and sucked into the storyline, however this is 2013 and releasing a game with 2010 graphics is simply not the way to go, especially when you are releasing a sci-fi game with plenty of visual effects (although we did enjoy the Weyland-Yutani Corporation twist). Still both the Dragonborn DLC and the Aliens Colonial Marines came at just the right moment in time since almost 10 days ago we started testing of the latest F.R.E.Q.5 Red stereo headset by Mad Catz.

Up for review today I have the ID America new Spark in-ear headphones and these feature an all aluminum construction with a great design making them aesthetically pleasing. The headphones have 8mm dynamic drivers in them that offer very good bass and decent highs for a nice rounded sound from them. The new Spark headphone’s also have an in-line multifunction remote and microphone so you can not only control your music but you make and receive call as well while wearing the headphones. So read on…

The Christmas holidays are just around the corner and the lucky ones who will actually leave the big city to spend them with their loved ones somewhere far away are probably right now out in the market looking for ways to improve on that experience either by checking all the latest camcorder and digital camera models. I on the other hand am continuing my never ending quest to find the best earphone set to accompany me pretty much whenever I’m not at home including these holidays (which i intend to spend on the mountain with friends and family). Unfortunately due to the size and technology used with earphones most of the times you have to choose between one with very crisp and accurate mids/highs or one with good bass levels. There are certainly some special earphone sets in the market that offer both but because of their "hefty" price tags it's a good bet that most people will never get their hands on those. It seems however that Jabra wants to bring the best of both worlds in the market with their latest VOX Dolby-Digital in-ear earphones which we've been using for slightly over a month now with impressive results.

Il y a peu, nous avons testé du casque et du 2.1 de Wavemaster. Le rapport qualité-prix était particulièrement bon et n’appelait pas de critiques acerbes de notre part. Vous le savez, nous n’avons pas la langue dans notre poche. Du coup, quand Wavemaster nous a annoncé un kit nommé TWO à 250 euros, en simple 2.0, nous avons été légèrement circonspects. Il nous fallait lever ou pas notre circonspection par rapport à ce kit. Ni une, ni deux, réponse au CP, demande de test et la réactivité de Julien a fait l’affaire. Voilà donc le test des TWO. C’est cher ou pas alors

Comme vous devez le savoir, si vous nous suivez régulièrement, nous avons trouvé dans l’un de nos derniers article un intra de rêve alors que nous sommes, en général, peu portés sur les intra en raison d’une restitution sonore qui n’est pas toujours à la hauteur de nos attentes. Donc, si les HL-01 nous ont vraiment séduits, il n’en reste pas moins qu’ils ne sont pas donnés et que la compatibilité n’est complète qu’avec les iPommes. De fait, Tonino propose donc un casque un peu moins haut de gamme et surtout compatible cette fois-ci avec Android : le Quantum EL-01. Nous restons donc avec une appellation en 01. Reste à voir quelle sera le résultat de ce test pour un intra de Lamborghini moitié moins cher mais aussi moitié moins technique.

Antec, qu’on ne présente plus, a décidé de se lancer dans la course au son. Les spéculations sur les matières premières, blé, orge, son, l’ont décidé qu’il y avait certainement un marché, ou tout du moins, une part du marché à prendre. Ah pardon, mon approche altermondialiste m’a perturbé et Antec me fait dire qu’il s’agit non pas du son que l’on peut mettre dans le pain, mais du Son que l’on peut se mettre dans les oreilles. Celui qui permet de se vider la tête soit en écoutant un morceau d’anthologie de Mireille Mathieu soit de réaliser un retour en enfance avec un bon vieux Bernard Minet. Et normalement, suite à cette écoute musicale très personnelle, il est de bon ton de faire une partie de COD7 afin de compenser ou de décompenser au choix. Le Rockus 3D est donc un kit 2.1, il doit permettre de réaliser ces choses cités ci-dessus. D’ailleurs, Antec a choisi de nommer sa branche son, SoundScience, la science du son, allons donc vérifier si la science est maîtrisée.

The a.m.p. iso is the flagship of Antec’s mobile headset line, with a full featured headphone amp with active noise cancellation, top tier headphones with dBs1 technology and full featured call functionality. The Antec gain Bluetooth Headphone Amp retains the call functionality, but comes with a 3.5mm jack for using the headset of your choice, meaning that your favorite headset can now be used in a Bluetooth capacity and on calls. Both the gain and the iso use Bluetooth HD for enhanced clarity, while adhering to Handsfree 1.5 and Headset 1.1 profiles to make them compatible with almost any device.

No one missed the launch of the iPhones, iPads, and iPods last year, but Apple also updated a small but very important part of their product line: their standard in-ear headphones. The standard earbuds that you receive with Apple's products have been overhauled. Better late than never, as the original earbuds were never really popular, and the new EarPods sound a lot better.
