For value, versatility, and vitality, Sleek Audio’s SA6 stands out from the other upper bracket in ear headphones we’ve reviewed at MyMac, from Shure, Etymotic Research, and Ultimate Ears.

iPod Classic Case Roundup
Review
A Tuffwrap-encased iPod does not call attention to itself, which is a definite security feature. Cushioning is good, and port access is excellent, with (bravo!) a durable flap to cover an iPod’s dock port.
Sabre Femme and Homme iPod Speaker
Review

Review
