I was never one for the term “in-ear speakers”. To me it just sounded like marketing gimmick, similar to “Retina Display”. Something that just makes a product sounds a whole lot better than it is, a way to justify a price tag. Then I found the Monster Turbine Pros. With a $212 price tag on amazon, they are a hard pill to swallow, but with just one listen I am sure you will be willing to lay down the cash.

Plenty of opportunities for Spotify to rejoice over the past month. One of the bearers of good news comes from a fortnight in which over 1.4 million users in America signed up, including 175,000 paying for the premium service.

Needless to say, this is also good news for the music industry, because MOG, Rdio and other streaming services of this nature have been really struggling to sustain momentum this year.

Small businesses have fallen between the cracks of free video services and massive enterprise video solutions,” said Dae Mellencamp, Vimeo’s General Manager. “Vimeo PRO resolves the contradiction that best-of-breed video quality and hosting can also be easy and affordable.”

A camera strap is not a high tech piece of equipment that is always in the spotlight. Yet, people keep using the extremely cheap ones that come with there camera and don’t ever think to upgrade.
The stock straps snag, twist, and just get in the way. The Lens Loop uses recycled seatbelt webbing to make a comfortable, compact, and snag free strap. The standard camera adapter means that it will fit anything with a tripod mount and since there is no shoulder pad it won’t get caught on your shoulder when you reach for your camera. Read more »
