Living in a small space can be challenging. Whether it’s a dorm room, a compact first-condo or a trendy container home, you need to use your space creatively while keeping in mind practicality.    Portable appliances that can be stored away and brought out when needed are a great way of dealing with a tight space. Rethinking closet space is another.      

If you are looking for new headphones, there is an unbelievable assortment to choose from. In figuring out which ones are best, you could research lab evaluations and critiques, or compare technical specifications but there are a few problems with doing this. First of all, technical superiority tends to mean “more expensive.” What you really want are the best ones in your price range. Technical specs often aren’t easy to decipher, and usually don’t point to a clear-cut winner, and they can’t account for personal preferences.  After all, there is a personal element to what type of sound people like. So rather than rely on the audiophile experts, who can recite frequency response and impedance statistics, why not rely on the toughest critics of all – other consumers?

Chances are you’re too young to remember this, but there was a time when car audio was limited to AM radio or even 8-track tapes.

Fortunately, Best Buy has an entire department dedicated to upgrading your ride with the latest in audio and other high tech gear, including emerging new platforms like Apple’s CarPlay. Whether you want a subwoofer powerful enough to rattle your entire block, Bluetooth handsfree capability, a navigation system, video playback or the ability to use Siri to find a favourite tune, Best Buy has you covered.

High Dynamic Range (HDR) photography has been one of the big photographic movements of recent times, and although the form has existed since the 1800s, it’s really taken on a life of it’s own since the Digital Boom.   Today I’m going to give you the ingredients and know-how you need to try some HDR for yourself.

There’s no need to sacrifice quality for size when it comes to your digital camera. The Sony RX100 III is a compact camera that rivals the larger (and heavier) DLSR cameras. It’s as light as a smartphone but takes far superior photos.   This is the next generation camera from Sony’s first version, the Sony Cybershot RX100, that was released in 2012.  The Sony RX100 III is a faster, smarter and improved version.   Here’s what you can expect from this powerhouse pocket camera.  

Enjoy your media content, the way you really want to. While kicking back on the couch. In order to navigate media from different devices (as there are so many to choose from), why not simplify and get one device that is easy to use.

I like the fact that Sony hasn’t simply followed the trend because the wedge design is not just aesthetically appealing, it also has a number of other functions that actually improve the TV.
