Earbuds are always my go-to when I’m listening to music because I don’t like over the ear cans as much. In the dozens of pairs I’ve owned or tested, however, I’ve never had one with a heartrate monitor until now. SMS Audio’s BioSport earbuds partner with the RunKeeper app to help you keep track of your workout pacing and heartrate. If you don’t care about that as much, the wireless Sync by 50 earbuds provide a rechargeable and fully wireless listening experience. Come take a look at both.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year for many a sports fan. The MLB pennant race is really starting to stir, the NHL pre-season is less than a month away, and in just a few short weeks, 32 NFL teams will kick off another long road to the Super Bowl. For many, this is the marker for the beginning of another season of exciting team sports action, and the “New Year” always begins with EA Sports’ Madden series. Time to pop the champagne and dig out the party favours, Madden 16 is finally here.   

Printers are inexpensive nowadays, and while you can get one for far less than a hockey ticket, you might want to look at getting a printer that does more than average. It’s possible to get a printer that also scans, faxes, copies documents and prints lab-quality photos, all in one solid package.

This ultra-wide gaming monitor from BenQ is fully loaded with lots of great tech and attention to detail. It really shines whether you’re watching a movie or playing a game and looking for the most immersive and comfortable experience possible. 

Almost all major guitar manufacturers now carry at least two brands of guitar under their umbrella. You have the one “name” brand that is the premiere flagship brand and then a less expensive brand that makes more affordable versions of the classics. Gibson Guitars has the Epiphone brand, ESP has LTD, and Fender has Squier. And while these guitars are more affordable than their famous brothers, that doesn’t mean that they don’t play and sound great, especially considering their price points. This blog will look at two Squier Stratocasters and discuss playability, sound, and value.

As technology advances it often makes the things we want to do easier, quicker, and more efficient. It can also make things significantly more confusing. As we continue to add peripheral devices in our music making lives, you may notice as I did, that similar looking cords and cables are not always created for the same tasks. TS vs. TRS or Balanced vs. Unbalanced are just two of the differences we encounter when we look to buy or upgrade our music related cables. In this blog I will do my best to try and explain, as I understand, some of these differences so that getting the connections you need is less of a chore than it need be and you can get it right the first time.

Smart lights are an easy way to add beauty, security and versatility to your home.  Whether it’s setting up timers, or adding colour both inside and out, smart lights are quickly moving from fun gadget, to home must-haves.  Find out why.

Sound or silence? You don’t usually have much control over how loud your world is going to be. Until I tried a pair of Bose QuietComfort 20 Acoustic Noise Cancelling in-ear headphones, I had no idea the value of blocking out background noise. Whether you’re on a train, plane, bus, studying in a library, or in my case, constantly in rooms full of small people, noise cancelling headphones will block everything but whatever you’re really trying to hear.
