Reviews
In our Fosi Audio Disc Nano vs. Merak review, we compare two portable CD players on sound quality, design, durability, portability, and features. The Disc Nano offers a sleeker design and lower price, while the Merak adds CD ripping and a more protective construction. Here's which CD player is worth buying.
The SIVGA SV021 Pro V2 doesn’t beat the Kiwi Ears Altruva or Sennheiser HD 560S at being an open-back headphone. It does something more practical: it gives me the balanced sound I want in a comfortable closed-back design I can actually use almost anywhere.
Three days in, Kerry preferred his Audien Atom Pro 2. Four weeks later, he says the ELEHEAR Beyond 2 Pro outperforms every hearing aid he owns. If we’d rushed this review, we would have gotten it completely wrong.
The Juzear Nimbus is the kind of IEM I wish more beginners started with. There are cheaper IEMs and plenty of more specialized ones, but that’s almost beside the point. If you’re staring at hundreds of IEMs wondering where the hell to start, the Nimbus gives you a genuinely good starting point without requiring you to become an audio expert first.
The Edifier MR4.5 goes up against the JBL 305P MkII, PreSonus Eris E5, and Kanto YU6 with surprisingly strong bass, clear sound, Bluetooth LDAC, and room correction. At $250, these desktop studio monitors offer one of the most complete combinations of sound quality and features in the comparison.
Insights
Leaving your dog home alone is never easy, especially when you can't stop wondering what they're getting up to. An indoor camera and a smartphone make it possible to check in from just about anywhere, and the market has split into two camps.
The AYN Odin 3 Portal is coming, and some fans dislike its familiar design. After using my Odin 2 Portal daily for most of this year, I think AYN is making the right call.
Grilling a great meal takes more than just turning up the heat. Whether you're smoking a brisket, cooking steaks for the family or preparing a backyard barbecue, keeping track of temperatures can make a big difference in how everything turns out.
None of these products is something every workspace needs, and that's okay. The best creator and maker gear is highly dependent on what you actually make. The TerraMaster D1 SSD Plus addresses large-file storage and transfer, while the CUKTECH 20 provides a way to keep higher-powered devices running away from an outlet. HOZO's NeoBlade and NeoRulerGO take more familiar workshop tasks—cutting and measuring—and apply technology in places where conventional tools can become cumbersome.
The best microSD card isn't the biggest or the fastest. It's the one that's big enough that you stop thinking about storage and reliable enough that you never have to think about the card itself.
I upgraded because my library finally outgrew my card, not because 1TB sounds cooler than 256GB. If you're not there yet, don't feel like you're missing out. Start with 256GB or 512GB and upgrade when it gets annoying. And if you catch a good Prime Day deal like I did, go for it.
Fosi Audio has launched the DAP Neo, a new portable digital audio player that brings back the familiar feel of a classic MP3 player while adding modern features like high-resolution audio support and Bluetooth connectivity.
