Uncaged Ergonomics CHANGEdesk – Review

April 28, 2016March 4, 2025 Macintosh, Monitor, Review, Speakers 0

To stand or to sit, that is the question. Most office furniture allows you to do one or the other but not both. Uncaged Ergonomics thinks you have a choice so they’ve come up with the CHANGEdesk. Three metal shelves expand and contract like an accordion. If you’re tired of typing standing up, lift the lever on the rightÂ and push down on the desktop.

Puro BT5200 Bluetooth Stereo Headphone – Review

April 22, 2016March 16, 2025 Audio, Battery, Bluetooth, Headphones, Headset, iPad, iPhone, iPod, Macintosh, Music, Review, Speakers 1

Going right to the sound. In Bluetooth mode, the BT5200’s bass is not especially emphasized as are many popular headphones, but that bass goes ultra-deep with a strong weight, even to 16 Hz. The mids aren’t forward, and are slightly soft, as is the treble (slightly, with good detail).

HP Printer Found Innocent – Router is Guilty

April 21, 2016March 4, 2025 Macintosh, Opinion, printer 0

For nearly four years I’ve had an HP8600 all-in-one printer that worked fine. Until the day it it did not. Suddenly I found that once the printer entered Sleep Mode, it would no longer accept any print jobs.

The future has arrived. USB-C ports are here to stay. Acer’s impressive new H277HU Display for USB-C and HDMI solves several problems and leaves only one or two unanswered. Owners of Apple’s diminutive 12 inch MacBook can use this external display for accurate enlargement of their built in visual content.

ZealSound HDE-300 In-ear Headphones – User Report Review

April 12, 2016March 16, 2025 Audio, Earphones, Headset, iPad, iPhone, iPod, Macintosh, Music, Review, Speakers 0

ZealSound’s new HDE-300 In-ear Noise-isolating Genuine Wood Headphones with Microphone are the best value in-ear monitors you can purchase. Sound reproduction is exceptionally clear and accurate across the audio spectrum, including a smooth and powerful bass that supports both traditional fidelity and current ultra-bass recordings. Passive external noise isolation is impressive, without needing to jam these earbuds into your skull or crank up the volume to death-defying levels.

Serenak takes on Guy – iOS Desktop. Time for it to happen.

April 11, 2016March 16, 2025 Android, Apple, Dock, iOS, iPad, iPhone, iPod Mini, iTunes, Macintosh, Opinion, Review, Tablet 0

I have some thoughts of my own on the matter and so I decided I would put them down and see what you all make of them. I will point out that his original title is at the least missing the word to, and possibly a question mark.

Prosoft Engineering Data Rescue ONE – Review

April 7, 2016March 16, 2025 Apps, Hard Drive, Macintosh, Review, Security 0

We’ve all been there. You know you’ve made the mistake of accidentally deleting files that you desperately needed; and even though you were running Time Machine backup and an off-site backup solution, you still couldn’t recover the files you thought you lost.

Fantastical for Mac – Review

April 5, 2016March 16, 2025 Apps, Macintosh, Review 1

Why in the world would you want anything other than the Mac’s built in Calendar? It does a pretty great job, right? Hold on. Fantastical can shake your world up. At least that’s what Flexibits says they can do with Fantastical 2 for the Mac.

April 1, 2016March 16, 2025 Apps, Audio, Macintosh, Music, Review 1

Who would have thought in 2016 you have multiple turntable options – not just from multiple manufacturers but multiple options from just one manufacturer. Audio-Technica has a range from simple home use to pro level equipment. The AT-LP60-USB is their automatic USB turntable. This is a belt-drive turntable with a USB output that allows you to convert your vinyl to digital, or play records through what most likely is your digital audio system. It comes with a USB cable, two RCA to mini-plug cable (one male, one female), 45RPM adapter, and cartridge with stylus.

House of Marley – Rebel BT On-Ear Headphones EM-JH101-BK – Review

March 24, 2016March 4, 2025 Audio, Battery, Bluetooth, Earphones, Headphones, iPad, iPhone, iPod, Macintosh, Music, Review, Speakers 0

The Rebel Bluetooth Headphones allow you to listen to music from a mobile device wirelessly. The audio quality is not perfect but it is resonant and clear. My guess is that most consumers willÂ find the sound perfectly acceptable. The middle range and bass are warm and luxurious, a real treat in a $70 set of BT over the ear headphones.

March 21, 2016March 16, 2025 Apps, Hard Drive, Macintosh, Review, Security 0

Data Rescue is available in several versions: Free, Lite, Standard, and Pro, each supporting different levels of file recovery on Mac OS X 10.7.5 and later. I tested these on three MacBook Pro and Air models, with SSD and traditional magnetic hard drives.

iHome iB37 Color Changing Over Ear Headphones – Review

March 10, 2016March 16, 2025 Audio, Battery, Earphones, iPad, iPhone, iPod, Macintosh, Microphone, Music, Review, Speakers 0

I love iHome Audio. They have built themselves a nice brand. I admit I had a slightly negative bias against them as “budget” — always finding their stuff on clearance at Big Lots. But I have been pleasantly surprised in the recent past with their speaker and headphone offerings, such as the iHome iB37 over-ear headphones.

IOGEAR Charge and Sync Flip 3.3ft – Review

March 3, 2016March 16, 2025 Macintosh, Review 0

In the beginning there was USB. And it was good. Next came USB 1.1 then 2.0. All these had 2 things going for them: universality and compatibility.And then there is the down side: trying to plug the cable in the back or side port of your particular computer of choice

1More Crystal Piston In-Ear Headphone – 2 Pack Model EO301 – Review

February 29, 2016March 4, 2025 Audio, Earphones, Headphones, Headset, iPad, iPhone, iPod, Macintosh, Microphone, Review, Speakers 0

About a year ago I decided I was done with in-ear headphones. I’d tried at least 20 products in recent years and was never fully satisfied until I plugged a pair of these remarkable 1More headphones into my ears. I listened to pop, classical, ragtime. opera, folk. You name it, I added it to the mix. I was so impressed I found it hard to believe the company is selling them for $80 for two. It’s a great value.

February 22, 2016March 16, 2025 Android, Audio, Earphones, Headphones, Headset, iPad, iPhoto, iPod, iTunes, Macintosh, Microphone, Music, Review, Speakers 2

My first impressions of the sound of the 1More Over-Ear MK801 headphone (MK801 hereafter) are based on direct comparisons to other headphones, particularly those that resemble its design (portables mostly), but also to a few premium headphones for reference. I’ll describe how I relate to the MK801 (i.e., my personal tastes and how I use the headphone) after covering all of the objective issues.

February 19, 2016March 16, 2025 Audio, Earphones, Headphones, Headset, iPad, iPhone, iPod, Macintosh, Microphone, Music, Review, Speakers 0

Striking the perfect balance between sound, safety, and design, Puro Sound’s IEM500 delivers studio-grade sound and protects your hearing without ever compromising the listening experience. With the IEM500’s immaculate soundstage, I discovered parts of my favorite music I never knew existed. Listening to music hasn’t been the same since I discovered this terrific in-ear headphone.

DiskMaker X 5 – Review

February 9, 2016March 16, 2025 Apple, Apps, Mac, Mac OS X, Macintosh, Macs at Work, Review 2

I find myself lamenting the passing of the Mac OS install disk. It provided me with peace of mind knowing that I could boot from that disk if something went horribly wrong on my internal drive. I researched how to make a bootable USB thumb drive to replace the optical disks of yesteryear. Finding the instructions was easy enough, but upon reading through the procedure, I found that the amount of dealing the the built in UNIX terminal exceeded my comfort level. A little more digging turned up DiskMaker X.
