At 4.5” wide, 2” deep, and 3” tall, Snooze doesn’t take up a significant amount of space.

Apart from that IPX5 certification, ATH-CKP500 has two other advantages relative to most inexpensive earphones: in-ear stability and sound quality. On the first front, Audio-Technica ships these earphones with one of the largest collections of silicone inserts we’ve seen with a low-end earphone model, including three different sets of hook-shaped […] Read the original post…

At its core, CandyShell Card is almost identical to a standard CandyShell, except it’s a bit thicker due to the card holder. It uses the same rubber inside, plastic outside design, including extending the rubber out to the corners, buttons, and front edge. The bottom is the same too, with […] Read the original post…

Whereas CandyShell’s edges are slightly convex, SmartFlex Shine’s are flat, and perpendicular to the back of the case. This design allows the case to stand just a little bit shorter and narrower, but it maintains roughly the same thickness. There’s still a rubber lip around the screen, but instead of […] Read the original post…

Thanks to this change, CH50 is now compatible with a wide range of iPhone 5 cases, as well as with bare devices. Otherwise, though, it’s an identical solution. Features preserved from the prior model include the black plastic base, tripod-compatible steel mount, and three-axis ball-and-socket system for significant iPhone positional […] Read the original post…

While it’s not uncommon for USB-powered stereo speakers to resemble Macs, a subwoofer is almost never part of the equation. But that’s exactly what you get with UltraLink’s UCubeTrio 2.1 Multimedia Speaker System ($350). Along with a pair of 3” square speakers, a 5” square USub subwoofer brings the bass.
