Samsung takes another shot at wireless earbuds with the Level U
In our review of the Samsung Gear Circle, our main issue was that the earbuds just wouldn’t stay put. Hopefully these pseudo-sequel in-ears will do a little better.
Beats and MLB team up for Limited Edition Studio Wireless
Beats headphones might be banned in the NFL, but that hasn’t stopped the company from pursuing other sports. These limited edition headphones come in five different variations based on teams from across the country.
Fluance announces the new Fi50 bluetooth speaker
The Fluance Fi30 sounds great for its sized and price, but the lack of controls was a slight disappointment. The bigger, better Fi50 packs the sound quality of its smaller brother, but also features onboard controls and a built-in display on the front.
