The Audio-Technica ATH-CKR10 are, as claimed by Audio-Technica, the first dual phase push-pull drivers. Push-pull dual drivers are a common used speaker configuration to achieve reduction in harmonic distortion. This reduction in distortion helps provide a more accurate, pure sound as the drivers are “self-correcting” each other. Prior to writing this review I was unaware of push-pull drivers and their intended effect, and now I agree that ATH-CKR10 do achieve this effect very well.

These moderately-priced over-ear headphones are large, comfortable, lightweight, and bizarre in appearance. Sound performance is good to very good, depending upon your listening settings and personal audio standards. They do not have the claimed extraordinary sound quality to satisfy the most discriminating listeners, despite the company’s statements. But keep reading; it gets better.

How to describe the sound of the Audioquest Nighthawk? The term liquid comes to mind, as a smoothness that’s like water on a plate. As I’ve been listening the past few days I thought “This is like listening to average solid-state amps for years, and then hearing a highly-regarded tube amp for the first time.” That’s an imperfect analogy, since I’m dealing with the complexities of sound, and audiophile sound at that.

The Biologic Bike Mount Weathercase allows you to safely carry and view your iPhone on your bike’s handlebars. If you already have your iPhone in a case, you’ll have to remove it. My iPhone 5S lives in an Otterbox case that is too large to fit into the zippered Biologic case.

Apples earbuds don’t stay securely in my ears. Many people have fitting problems with earbuds/earphones and many ears differ between left and right. Decibullz has a clever fitting solution mold your own. Custom-molding offers a big advantage over most in-ear phones. They absolutely, positively won’t fall out of your ears. Even at the gym or while running.

Zabius M is a great sounding pair of earphones. They are packaged in a black box with shooting flames, acetate windows, and a red scorpion logo. Inside, the earphones have flat black and red cables with chrome accents. They are contained in a black zippered case with a metallic red carabiner. All very racy, but why the style attitude?

Share Brands headphones are cushioned, comfortable, and stylish. Sound is decent, but quality drops off at the lower end of the spectrum. Adequate for non-audiophiles and listeners not fussy about superior bass and crisp highs, these headphones come with a 5.7 foot cable and standard 3.5mm plug. They can be used with any iOS device or desktop computer. Thereâ’s an inline control button on the cable that allows users to switch between music and phone calls when a call comes in.

My Panasonic digital television does not have a headphone port. Why have TV manufacturers removed headphone ports from our equipment? How are people supposed to use headphones now? Why are we suddenly not interested in using them?

In 2001, Earbuds were introduced with the iPod. They were not particularly good at the gym or when walking. Recently Apple developed improved EarPods, but even with a better fit, they disappoint when you are physically active. The biggest problem is the dangly cord that gets caught on clothing, and its weight can pull the Earbuds or EarPods out of your ears.

If I had to describe a quality headphone, it would be the V-Moda M-100. When I first received this product I was in awe of how well the packaging and headphone were put together, just as I was with the V-Moda LP2. I feel a sense of quality when I come in contact with V-Moda’s products.

The Xplorer Halfpack is a high quality backpack that can also be carried as a messenger bag or a briefcase. It’s spacious enough to be used by college students hauling books and electronic devices around, and stylishly casual enough to use for a daily commute to the office. I used it on two weekend trips and found it perfect for carrying a change of clothes, an iPad, an iPod, iPhone, toiletries, medicines, and magazines.

The Eskuche Control V2 Headphones are cushioned on-ear headphones. The headband is a strip of padded aluminum, easy to adjust and, like the headphones, comfortable to wear. The ear cups are rectangular and come in a variety of unconventional colors. The cable is soft woven material that resists tangles, and includes a 3-button microphone for use with in iPhone or iPad. But overall, these headphones are at best an entry level product with mediocre audio.
