Monster and Adidas have paired up to bring you a pair of in-ear and over-ear sport headphones that are guaranteed to be the perfect summer workout buddy! 

Boasting a revolutionary system dubbed “Pure Monster Sound,” Monster is quickly proving that they’re more than just a pretty face that you’ve gotten used to for your non-mobile electronic needs around the house. The DNA Pro Headphones are a set that look to continue to change that stigma.  How do these sleek looking headphones stack up against modern music and poorly mastered classic rock?  Click on to find out.

Chances are, you spend some time with some device or another plugged into your ear. Some of us (me included) don’t pay much attention to what that is, just so long as we can hear stuff.  I got the chance to spend some time with a trio of gaming headsets by ASTRO that completely changed my opinion on that front.  I found out that, when done properly, especially for the serious multiplayer gamer, the right set of headphones can really add a level of depth and immersion I’ve been missing out on all this time.

    Deciding to buy a new TV has an objective and emotional component to the decision. New models of TVs are constantly being launched and they keep getting bigger and better usually at a lower cost, unless you are into the really elite technologies. Your emotional side can easily be “wowed” by the shiny new “bigger-screen” TVs that are full of great features like 3D or Smart. The objective side obviously has to consider whether there really is enough performance difference to justify spending some money. There is no right or wrong answer with this, but I will try to outline what I think are the most important factors to consider.

Heading off to college or university is an exciting time. And if you’re planning to live in a dorm room, it means stocking up on all of the gear you’ll need for the shared living space. When it comes to a display device, one wouldn’t even think of a tablet as being a full-on TV replacement. But when you consider that your home base will be such small living quarters, this becomes a real consideration. And there are advantages for each technology when it comes to both productivity and entertainment.

  I have always been a big fan of Denon electronics, having several Denon components in my home today. I find Denon to be great value with high quality equipment that is at a reasonable price. They are now launching a new product line, HEOS, which is a wireless multi-room speaker system that is poised to compete with the likes of Sonos and Bose Soundtouch. It is great to see Denon enter this market as they are a formidable competitor that will force everyone to continue improving their products. Here is the lowdown on their new HEOS line.

      If you are in the market for a new TV, you can kill a lot of brain cells trying to figure out all the available models.  It is perfectly acceptable to kill a few more afterward with a few celebratory libations, basking in the glory of a new HDTV. You will especially want to celebrate if you selected one of Samsung’s UNH6350 LED sets, as this new line has some of the best mid-range TVs on the market. If you want a great performing HDTV with an excellent Smart platform you will not go wrong with the H6350’s from Samsung.

  There have been so many spectacular moments during the FIFA World Cup games. From van Persie’s amazing header, to Suarez’s two goals (and bite) to Howard’s stunning blocks and manoeuvres, the excitement has been non stop. If you were watching the games on a pint-sized TV you probably missed some of the stunning details and colour of these historical matches.   Maybe it’s time to upgrade to one of the 4K Ultra HD TVs with their gloriously big screens offering the ultimate immersive viewing experience.
