Title: OutCast - The Ultimate Outdoor Wireless Speaker @ TestFreaks.com

Review Link: http://www.testfreaks.com/blog/review/outcast-the-ultimate-outdoor-wireless-speaker/

Review Snipit:
“Today I’ve got an unusual product for review it’s a speaker, but not in the traditional way, this thing can be set on fire and even run through a carwash and still work great. The product is the OutCast from SoundCast Systems and it’s a wireless portable speaker system that comes with a transmitter called the iCast with a built in iPod dock. One nice thing though is that is can accept most any audio source, at the transmitter or at the OutCast unit itself. It is a bit on the large side, in both price and weight, but overall it’s a very unique product that works perfectly, sounds excellent and is just really cool… “

Title: Gears of War 2 Special Edition Zune 120GB Reviewed @ TestFreaks.com

Review Link: http://www.testfreaks.com/blog/review/gears-of-war-special-edition-zune-120gb/

Review Snipit:
“The Gears of War Edition Zune has a 120gb capacity, which should be more than enough for anyone really, and it of course comes packed with all kinds of things pertaining to Gears of War 2, including videos, stills, concept art, backgrounds, the full soundtrack and quite a bit more “

Title: Radius Atomic Bass Aluminum Earphones (black) @ TestFreaks.com

Review Link: http://www.testfreaks.com/blog/review/radius-atomic-bass-aluminum-earphones-black/

Review Snipit:
“Once such company is Radius, they’re based out of the United States and selling quality, affordable, Japanese designed Earphones. I’ve got the Radius Bass Aluminum Earphones for review today an the first thing I noticed about these was their odd shape, the second thing I noticed was that they seemed very well made, the third thing I noticed was the price, coming in at about $40 they can truly fit into anyone’s budget. Are they any good? Read on to learn my impressions of these earphones… “

So Fedex came this morning and dropped off a nice little package from the folks at Microsoft, a special edition Gears of War 2 120gb Zune! So I thought I’d do an unboxing, it’s done in 1080i Resolution so it should look decent at full screen.. so check it out, and in about a week I’ll have the full review for you.

Title: Apple iPod Nano 4th Gen 8gb Product Red Color @ TestFreaks.com

Review Link: http://www.testfreaks.com/blog/review/apple-ipod-nano-4th-gen-8gb-product-red-color/

Review Snipit:
” Today I’ve got the 4th Generation  Apple iPod nano, the 8gb version, in the limited edition color Product Red. The iPod has taken over the mp3 player market leaving many companies struggling to compete with it, it was basically an instant success with the launch of the first version, and since then it has all been uphill for Apple and the iPod line of products. The new nano offers a large LCD viewing area, an accelerometer for games and navigation, along with of course being very portable and well made.”

Title: EWOO eFizz Travel Review @ DragonSteelMods

Review Link: http://www.dragonsteelmods.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=10049&Itemid=1

Review Snipit:
“This portable stereo speaker system is the little brother of the eFizz iPod Stereo speaker.  It is designed to be portable and rechargeable, thus allowing maximum listening freedom.  Since it incorporates the speaker skills of Cabasse, this mobile system is designed to compete with the high models from companies such as Bose and Klipsch. “

Title: Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Speakers for iPod Reviewed @ TheTechLounge Quote: “B&W has turned high-fidelity audio into an art over the last 40 years, creating what many regard as the best speakers money can buy. Abbey Road Studios, one of the most famous audio production venues in the world, has used 800-series B&W speakers as monitors in all of their control rooms since early on in the 80’s. Some of the greatest music artists in the world have mixed their albums through these speakers. With the Zeppelin, B&W has made its first foray into iPod territory. Its pedigree alone should raise some enthusiastic eyebrows, but we’re going to take a look – and a listen – to see if the Zeppelin lives up to the expectations laid before it.” Article URL: http://www.thetechlounge.com/article/584/Bowers-Wilkins-Zeppelin-Speakers-for-iPod/

Title: Archos 5 Internet Media Tablet and DVR Station @ TestFreaks.com

Review Link: http://www.testfreaks.com/blog/review/archos-5-internet-media-tablet-and-dvr-station/

Review Snipit:
” Archos has been around for a while, and really they’ve come along way with the quality and functionality of their products, they’ve recently introduced the Archos 5 Internet Media Tablet which features a nice large 4.8? LCD screen that runs at a resolution of 800×480 pixels to produce a very nice big picture. That’s not the only feature of the Archos 5 though, it can do pretty much anything a laptop can, internet, email, movies, music, and even games. Archos sent me the Archos 5 Tablet for review along with a must-have accessory called the DVR Station which allows you to not only record TV like a DVR, but it allows you to hook up the Archos 5 to your TV for a really big screen view”

Title: Cygnett GrooveAtomic - High performance earphones reviewed @ TestFreaks.com

Review Link: http://www.testfreaks.com/blog/review/cygnett-grooveatomic-high-performance-earphones-reviewed/

Review Snipit:
“With all the types of portable devices out there today that use headphones we’ve got a plethora of choices when it comes to finding  decent set of headphones that won’t break our budgets. Today for review I’ve got a very inexpensive set of in ear headphones from Cygnett, called the GrooveAtomic. The first thing you’ll notice about these is the quality of them, they’re made very well, mostly metal in fact, and really considering the price they don’t sound too bad… “

Review Link: http://www.testfreaks.com/blog/review/headplay-personal-cinema-system/

Review Snipit:
“Not long ago I took a look at the Vuzix personal media system, and I found it to be decent but lacking a bit in some areas, today for review though I’ve got the HeadPlay Personal Cinema System and it picks up where the Vuzix leaves off in a couple areas. In my time with the HeadPlay I’ve found it is a much better system all around with some great added features as well. ”

It seems everyone has a video camera, a still camera and a portable media player, sometimes tow or more of all of the above, wouldn’t it be nice to have a decent, inexpensive product that that does it all for you?

Today for review I’ve got the Jazz Elite HD Video camera and not only does it film videos in HD, but it’s also a fully featured multimedia player as well so you can take videos, take stills, listen to music and even watch movies on it. In my time with it I’ve used it quite a bit, I’ve found it’s easy to use, takes good videos and it has a great battery life. Did I mention it’s inexpensive? So read on to check out the Jazz Elite HD Video camera from Geeks.com…

Title: Altec Lansing Orbit-Mp3 Portable Audio System Review @ TestFreaks.com

Review link HERE

Review Snipit:
” Today for review I’ve got an interesting product from Altec Lansing, it’s made specifically for portable audio players like iPods, and mp3 players or really just about anything that has a standard audio mini jack output. It’s called the Orbit-Mp3 Portable Audio System, and it is portable, it’s small and lightweight, the one thing interesting about it is that it is only one speaker, but that one speaker is supposed to provide a 360 degree sound field to project sound in all directions.”

The review is on the Sansa Fuze MP3 Player and the link to the review is:

The unique docking station features 5 speakers; including a 4 inch subwoofer, adjustable bass control, 360° sound distribution and unparalleled design elements.

Culver City, CA – August 13, 2008 – Speakal is pleased to announce the release of the iPig.  As the sole North American distributor, Speakal is thrilled to deliver the most advanced docking station to date.  The iPig combines quality, performance, compatibility and style into one compact iPod docking station.  Audio engineers were able to design the iPig with 5 speakers pumping out 25 watts of premium sound, in spite of its small footprint.   The acoustic design elements enable the iPig to disseminate 360° sound, insuring the entire room is filled with heart-pumping sound.

Title: Cyber Snipa Sonar 5.1 USB Headset Review on Technic3D

Link: http://www.technic3d.com/article-684,1-cyber-snipa-sonar-5.1-auf-positionssuche.htm

Quote: “The Cyber Snipa Sonar 5.1 USB-Headset arrived Technic3D. Technic3D will see as good they are with eight speakers against a Stereo Headset with two speakers.”

Cellphones have become an integral part of our lives, almost everyone has one from the young to the old, and they can sometimes cause problems for people, specifically those driving while talking. Certain states have laws now that require a hands-free headset, with more following, soon talking while driving will be limited to hands-free only everywhere. Me personally I like the idea, I hate talking while I’m driving but sometimes I just have to, most of the time while driving I choose to let the call go to voicemail, but if I do answer it is through a hands-free device. I think these laws are great, I drive in morning rush-hour traffic everyday, I’ve had quite a few close encounters with drivers that are too busy talking on their phones and not paying attention, and it just irks me really that they feel so important, who are you talking to at 7am that is so important to risk the lives of my family for? I’ve watched women applying makeup and talking on the cellphone at the same time, I’m wondering where the third arm is that they’re using to steer their car with?! It just really annoys me to no end at times the people that use phones while driving, driving behind some moron who’s swerving all over the road, only to find out as I pass that he’s either dialing his phone or texting someone.. it’s amazing that people risk their lives and the lives of others over a phone call…

Today for review I’ve got the AX Micro Bluetooth Headset from Tritton, and it’s a very interesting headset, unlike any I’ve ever seen. The majority of BT Headsets out there today have a rubber loop that goes over your ear, I personally do not care for these types as I’ve found they can be uncomfortable for long periods of use, but the Tritton AX Micro uses no such system to secure the headset to your ear, it actually goes in your ear and has rubber ‘fingers’ that push against the inside of your outer ear to hold the AX Micro in place. At first I was skeptical of this system but in my time with the AX Micro I’ve found it works very well and it is very comfortable to wear for long periods of time. The battery life is very good as is the overall sound quality…

We have just posted up a review of the BlueAnt Supertooth 3 Bluetooth Handsfree kit.  This kit has a couple of metal visor clips and can be easily swapped from vehicle to vehicle.  It’s almost like taking your secretary with you on the road (but requires a lot less explaining) as the Supertooth 3 voice will tell you who is calling.  All you have to do is speak the magic words, and it will connect your call.  Take a look at our review for all the details.

We have just taken a look at the Crystal Air Jacket for the iPod Touch from PowerSupport that promises to take care of your tunes without adding weight or bulk.  This is basically a hard shell for the iPod Touch with a couple of screen protectors included in the package.  What impresses me the most is the rubber grommet that keeps dirt out of the dock connector.  Take a look at our review for all the details.

Title: DLO TransDock Deluxe Review
Link: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/591
Category: Reviews

Summary:
DLO Transdock Deluxe is a FM transmitter and charger for iPods. Does it work well? Is it a good product? Check it out!

Here is a snippet:
“If you have an older car or truck, you don’t have to envy the new car owners who have built-in iPod docks. You can have your music close at hand in your old vehicle with the new DLO TransDock Deluxe. The TransDock Deluxe is an in-car iPod dock and FM transmitter that plays your iPod through your car stereo, also charging its battery. It also allows you to play videos on bigger LCD screens (if you have them already installed on your car) and charge cell phones or any other device that can be charged thru a USB port. Let’s take a good look on DLO TransDock Deluxe.”

So youve picked up a fancy new iPhone have you? Youve spent at lease two hundred dollars on one of the hippest phones available. What should happen if you ever dropped your baby? Well it would be scratched and perhaps even broken. How are you supposed to start conversation with other Apple enthusiasts or the average Joe if your iPhone looks like a piece of crap? Simple. You fork over some cash for the OtterBox Armor Case.

Previously, OCModShop reviewed an Armor Series case for the Apple iPod. Having read that article, you will find that the iPod and iPhone cases are very similar. If you already have an OtterBox case for your iPod and you now own an iPhone as well, it should be a no brainer to you that this would be a good investment.
