Aurvana In-Ear 3 Plus Headphones – Review
Creative’s Aurvana In-Ear 3 Plus Headphones produce sound so luminous and detailed that the experience left me feeling as though I was sitting in front of two high-end speakers precisely spaced in a room with fine acoustics. It was hard to believe this concert filling my ears was coming from earphone speakers smaller than a dime.

BlueAnt continues to show how headphones should be done, and as far as I can see, they have done it again with the Pump Soul headphones. Designed to be worn while the user is active or working out, sweat proof and utilizing antimicrobial materials, the Bluetooth headphones give the user an on-the-ear experience rather than an in-ear experience.

Creative’s new Muvo 2c is a colorful Bluetooth speaker with a water-resistant, rubberized exterior. You can lounge near a pool and not worry about kids splashing water on it.

MyMac Podcast 633: Airport Alternative Black Friday Christmas Trees
A long title for a short(ish) show. Apple may stop making routers, Jony Ive make a forest in a hotel, crappy Apple deals, and Frankenstein loves Christmas! How can two men make a show out of such diverse topics? They really don’t know either, and one of them seems lacking in brains. Or claims that anyway

Corel AfterShot Pro 3 – Review
Photographers who manage and edit their photos on the Mac have fewer options than they used to. Apple’s Photos app, while great for tossing general family and daily photos into, isn’t adequate for serious landscape or portrait photos. Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop are expensive and are pushing people towards subscriptions. Pixelmator and similar native Mac apps hold promise but fall short of meeting the needs of pure photographers.

Geekiest Show Ever 237 – Black Friday
This week we are taking a different approach to the show. In the US, it is the week of Thanksgiving, which can only mean one thing: Black Friday is once again upon us. We decided to take an early look at the ads “leaked” on BFADS.net and see what kind of goodies we want. From Kevin with one of his well-known weaknesses, a 256GB flash drive, to Elisa’s quilting needs with a super cool sewing machine, and Mike rounds it out with his trip into virtual reality from Sony. Then everything else in between.

Audience The ONE Speakers – Review
The Audience ClairAudient “The ONE” speakers are a refreshing rebuke of my overly simple rules for speaker acquisition. Priced at $995, these definitely go against one of my reasons for buying vintage—thriftiness—but these are definitely worth every dollar.
