When we first started seeing true wireless earbuds, there were two kinds — buds like the Jabra Elite Sport built for fitness tracking and buds like the Apple AirPods made for everyday use. We might now be seeing a third — buds that use microphones and advanced audio processing to augment your natural hearing. In the medical field, […]
Who needs cables? The last couple years have seen loads of true wireless earbuds hit the market, starting with a handful of crowdfunded projects before the Apple AirPods made everyone aware! These little Bluetooth wireless buds don’t even have a cable to connect them, making them super sleek and lightweight. If you’re an Apple user, […]

If we can take one thing away from 2017, it’s that not enough people are buying a smartwatch to make a fashion statement. This year, we’ve seen smartwatch makers get out of the game altogether (Motorola) or turn from the runway to the track (Huawei). Even the new Apple Watch is rumored to be more […]
Usually, a refreshed device that simply tacks on a little battery life and nothing else wouldn’t be all that exciting, but it’s just that little tweak that has taken the Jabra Elite Sport true wireless earbuds from a great product to a potential must-have for runners. I reviewed the first generation Jabra Elite Sport buds […]
Ever since the likes of Bragi and Earin introduced us to true wireless earbuds, we’ve seen a deluge of competition from giants like Apple, Samsung, and Jabra to crowdfunded efforts like Skybuds. We’ve gotten to try a handful of them over the past year or so, but none of the products on the market have satisfactorily […]

Overall, I haven’t been big on true wireless earbuds. Connectivity problems have marred all but a few, and virtually all of them have had too-short battery lives. In other words, classic tech — the first generation is always the worst. Well, the second generation of Jabra’s Elite Sport true wireless earbuds are coming, and from the […]

Two things we’ve been hearing a lot of lately are true wireless earbuds and live translation. Skype’s the major player in the latter, adding a translation feature a couple years back that allows two people speaking different languages to call each other — it doesn’t always work, but it’s improving. It’s a relatively new field, and […]
In short order, we’ve been hit with a huge number of true wireless earbuds — wireless earbuds that lack even a cord to connect the two buds. Generally, true wireless earbuds are one of two types. The first are purely for audio, and tend to be smaller and and more stylish (Earin, Skybuds, and the Sol […]

In 2015, a new company called Ashley Chloe took to Kickstarter to fund Helix, a pair of Bluetooth in-ear headphones stored in bracelets. Their crowdfunding campaign was a success, and it’s helped them create something even more in need of storage — true wireless earbuds. True wireless earbuds — think AirPods, Skybuds, Earin, Samsung IconX, Sol Republic Amps […]

The LG Tone has been a really niche product for a while now. The Bluetooth neckband has retractable earbuds at the tips, allowing you to listen to music by yanking out the buds — hey, they won’t get lost, right? At CES 2017, the company is demonstrating two new models, and they’re just as clever as […]
Now that Apple’s AirPods are finally out, a lot of people are wondering what alternatives are there? Maybe you’re looking for a pair of buds that are actually in-ear or something more compatible with your devices. Sol Republic, a brand known for their bold designs and high quality headphones, has released their very own pair […]
2016 has been a big year for true wireless earbuds. Bragi and Earin got the ball rolling in 2014, crowdfunding competing earbuds that cut all cords — both the one between headphones and device and the one between the two buds. Both Bragi and Earin shipped this year, alongside products from bigger names like Jabra, Samsung, […]
This is the year of the truly wireless earbuds — we’ve had Bluetooth in-ear headphones for a while, but never anything that cut even the cord between the two earpieces. We’ve seen these from Jabra, Earin, Apple, and a few others so far, but one of the first to hit the market was the Samsung Gear […]
There’s only a few companies right now giving new meaning to the term “wireless headphones”. Earin was announced in mid-2014 with a Kickstarter for “The Worlds Smallest Wireless Earbuds”. It’s been a year since the first deliveries went out and now Earin is selling an updated version on their site. We got ourselves a pair […]
