Wicked Audios Metallics

by Radiris Diaz on July 1st, 2010

Wicked Audio makes a lot of trendy, ‘hip’, audio products that add that extra umph some of us need while rocking out to our latest tunes. The latest and greated in Wicked’s collection are their Metallics – which as the name suggest are their cute earbuds in metallic colors. I received a pink pair to try out and I liked them from the moment my eyes caught a glimpse. I immediately started wondering how much ‘better’ earbuds will have to get before they’re considered bad for us.

I can’t lie, I love having earbuds on. The freedom of being able to listen to my own music and sounds that bring me pleasure is just liberating – I love it. I really enjoyed trying these headphones out, they are pink (my new fav. color despite me not considering myself to be girly). I use them at work, on my commute to work (plane) and to work out.

Review: Fauvette Faith, Hope and Love Chicbuds Earbuds

by Nina Pena on April 9th, 2010

I have yet to find Inner Earbuds that actually fit my freakishly small ear canals. I was skeptical when I got the Fauvette Faith, Hope and Love Inner Ear Retractable Earphones by chicBuds because I thought “Great more ear buds that won’t fit.” I loved the design though, on the retractable device it had the words Faith, Hope and Love…all things women should live by. (I have Faith the economy with get better, Hope that I get a day job soon and Love cutegeek . On the earbuds themselves they had I huge crystal covering the entire outside on each side. Who needs earrings when you have these little guys I asked myself!

Review: AKG’s K321 (the earbud saga continues)

by Nina Pena on November 12th, 2009

As I continued to miss my Roxy JBL earbuds (in a lovely shade of pink) I had the opportunity to test out the AKG K321 earbuds. Again I am not a fan of silicon ear pads but I had to give them a try just to make sure I was not judging based on one or two experiences. I received the sky blue color in the nice sleek black box and a cool black pouch (with no zippers…YAY!). I hate dealing with putting small devices in cases with zippers (I have shaky hands) so this was a nice bonus. Nice call AKG!

Review: My Journey with the AKG K340 Earbuds

by Nina Pena on November 5th, 2009

As you all know after my Roxy/ JBL earbuds saga I asked around for some new ones to test out. Within 1 day I had 2 new pairs AKG K340 and AKG K321 but they were both the silicon ear pads which I typically do not like. The first ones I tested out fully were the AKG K340. The box was a nice sleek black box and once I opened the box they were nicely laid out. The photos and specifications are listed below.

Frequency range (Hz-kHz)	11.5-23
Input impedance (ohms)	16
Sensitivity (dB SPL/V)	122
Color	Fudge or Liquorice
Headphones weight without cable (g)	3
Max. input power (mW)	20
99.99% oxygen-free cable (length in m)	1,0

New Ear Buds On the Way

by Nina Pena on October 22nd, 2009

One night I was up late practicing my hip hop dance skills with my Roxy/ JBL earbuds (more like a goofy attempt to recreate what my dance instructor showed me the day before) and all the sudden one side of the earbuds went out. At first I thought; “oh no after several years of listening to music on full blast (plus being in a mosh pit at some major concerts) I have blown one ear drum out.” EEK!

In a Zoolander attempt (the sound is IN the earbuds?!) I took them out and somewhat ”tapped” them a couple times to see if maybe my attempt would in fact make the earbuds work. I also did the classic reboot of my shuffle and worked with the cable to see if it was a “Nina” error. Continue Reading…

Review: iHarmonix’s Platinum ev-Series

by Cecilia Daclan on April 9th, 2009

Sixty-dollars for earphones? That was my first reaction when I checked out iharmonix’s Platinum ev-Series in-ear earphones. I mean, I’ve got tons of earphones sitting around at home and in the office. Don’t they come free with a purchase of an iPod or other MP3 player? Why would I pay that much for earphones?

Then I put them on. Ok…you’ve sold me iharmonix. These aren’t just regular earphones that you can get for free or pay less than $10 for. The first thing I noticed when I put them on is that they blocked out quite a bit of noise, even without the music going. Of course, it’s not a BOSE Noise Cancelling Headphone, but it offers a small amount of noise reduction and is much more convenient to carry around than one of those bulky noise cancelling headphones.
