Today I'll be taking a look at a mid-price range 2.1 speaker system from Wavemaster, a popular German audio company that seems to have big ambitions for the rest of Europe, including the UK. Priced at around €69 they're certainly priced well enough to attract a lot of general consumers. This is something that has caught the attention of the German markets where they are proving a popular choice on Amazon.de and today we hope to find out why they're proving so popular.

Sony can pride itself on being the inventor of portable audio devices, and it's still active in this segment. The NWZ-W273 is a Walkman designed for active people, and we tested it for a period while jogging. Not to get too much ahead of ourselves, but we're quite positive about Sony's latest compact and waterproof music player.

Whenever we hear the term Bluetooth wireless headsets the first thing that naturally comes to mind are the typical around the ear models we use with smartphones for hands free calls like the Voyager Legend by Plantronics or the MOTION by Jabra. However lately many people turn towards another less popular type which basically consists from two parts, a set of earphones and a Bluetooth receiver/transmitter. The overall size of the unit may not be as "portable" as the usual Bluetooth wireless headsets but it has three positives that we can't simply ignore. So first of all it offers stereo sound which means that not only can you answer/make calls and listen to the other person from both ears but you can also listen to music a lot better than with a single monophonic headset. The other plus is that since the Bluetooth receiver/transmitter is placed on the far end you can place it far away from your head and although so far there are no indications that Bluetooth connectivity can affect us in any way still this makes people feel safer and i can understand the why. Finally since the earphones have very little weight it can be used by people while jogging or exercising without falling off (or at least not as much). Antec mobile products chose to go with this solution and so today we will be taking a look at their ISO Noise-Canceling Bluetooth Headphones.

As most of you know now (if not all) while typing these lines CeBIT the largest electronics & PC hardware related exhibition in the EU is taking place in Hanover, Germany with countless products showcased by pretty much every manufacturer on the face of the planet. Unfortunately however that left us with two choices, either go there ourselves to cover everything happening at CeBIT up close and personal (not really that far compared to CES so it would be a lot easier to do so) or remain here, post news from CeBIT and at the same time continue our testing to keep our schedule. Well the decision was quite an obvious one (although i haven't been in CeBIT for a long time) and so for the past 6 days we've been spending quite a bit of time with the latest peripheral by Mad Catz, the F.R.E.Q.7 7.1 Virtual Surround PC Gaming Headset.

Aujourd'hui, nous sommes pris d'un doute... A priori, la mode est un éternel renouvellement, ce n'est pas la première fois que nous l'écrivons, et c'est aussi un fait certain. Et à voir nos derniers produits arrivés pour test, nous nous demandons si nous ne vivons pas là le retour de l'intra-auriculaire qui, pourtant, n'avait pas le vent en poupe ces dernières années. Pourtant, en quelques jours, nous en avons reçu plusieurs. Nous continuons avec l'Oxygen d'Ozone. A l'écrire, à se demander si la comparaison n'est pas le fait de recherches poussées en marketing... Nous le répétons, nous sommes dans une période de doute.

Wie das AKG C12, das Neumann U47 und das Telefunken ELA 251, so zählt auch das Neumann M49 zu den begehrtesten und besten Mikrofonen überhaupt. Das historische Vorbild, das Neumann M49, erschien 1959 als Nachfolger des U47 mit einigen Verbesserungen, wie z.B. die Richtcharakteristik-Umschaltung am Netzteil und den abgeschrägten Einsprechkorb, an dessen Design Neumann bis heute festhält. Die Form des Einsprechkorbes ist nicht nur kosmetischer Natur, sondern unterbindet Luftverwirbelungen an der Membran, was Popplaute minimiert. Ein weiterer großer Vorteil des M49 ist, wie bereits erwähnt, die Richtcharakteristikwahl am Netzteil, bei dieser man nicht nur zwischen Kugel und Niere, sondern zwischen Kugel, Niere und Acht mit etlichen Zwischenstufen wählen kann.

Earlier this year we took a look at RHA’s MA450i earphones and they proved to be a great valueand offered good performance. Today we are taking a look at RHA’s SA950i’s which unlike the MA450i’s they are an over-ear type of headphones. They are designed to be extremely light and easy to take with you but still provide professional quality audio. They also feature a detachable audio cable that has in-line volume controls and a microphone for taking calls. Will these be your next headset? Read on as we take a look...

Le casque, le meilleur ami de l'homme, du joueur et du couple. Il est absolument indispensable à côté de nos machines, déjà si peu silencieuses pour certaines !! Et comme vous devez le savoir, nous sommes relativement partisans du micro sur perche et d'un bon casque audio. Aujourd'hui, il est question du Focal Spirit One que nous avons reçu à la Ferme. Il est absolument inutile de présenter Focal, alors nous allons vite passer à ce qui nous intéresse. Le Spirit One n'est pas donné, mais les vaut-il, tous ces euros de poche ?

To get the most out of the CrossFade M-100 Headphones you will be wise to also invest in a headphone amplifier. The sound output from today’s smartphones might be enough to crap out your average best buy $10 headphones, but it just isn’t enough to get a truly satisfactory experience on a higher quality set of headphones let alone the CrossFade M100′s. A lot of attention has quite rightly been given to sound quality and performance with equal attention also given to build quality and style. Don’t get me wrong, the experience is not disappointing by any means, I just need to point out that the dual-diaphragm 50mm drivers inside the CrossFade M-100 Headphones are so much more capable than you may think.
