Over the past few months, my assortment of headphone reviews has grown to a point where you can find reviews of gaming, music, and everyday headphones. What I have come to learn after all this is that to construct audio equipment it takes time, precision, and a knowledge of the audio market. When it comes to our headphones, we expect them to last for years and never miss a beat. We also expect a modern style that continues to stay popular and unique.

Take a quick glance at your computer desk lamp and ask yourself how long have you had that lamp? Does it follow the old fashion desk lamp design? Could it be time for an upgrade? How much money have you spent in buying new bulbs? As you read my title, you may start to ask yourself “who would be interested in a desk lamp review?” Well, reviews are always useful for the person interested in the subject. It’s better to know and understand the product you’re buying rather than just taking a shot in the dark on an impulse buy.…
Whenever I post an article or review that deals with computer data recovery, I tend to think of the aphorism “if your data is important to you, keep it safe!” Creating backups, using high quality computer components, and using safe internet browsing techniques are just a few ways of keeping your data safe from deletion, corruption, and/or theft.

You should also confirm that your computer is built using high quality components, as low quality…

As 2014 comes to a slow end, and 2015 bringing us new technology, Microsoft is hard at work on their newest operating system, Windows 9; or at least that’s what we’re calling it for now. It may be safe to say that the days of clever naming schemes of XP and Vista are gone. Over the previous week, two German based websites leaked a large assortment of screenshots showing off new features of Windows 9. Hitting towards a Windows 7 desktop style, but carrying over the Windows 8 metro applications, Microsoft appears to be reaching out to both the PC…
“Our brand is sponsored by a famous singer!” “Check out our brand, we have 7.1 audio in a headset!” We see these statements all the time when researching headphones. Businesses in the audio market use these particular statements to attain two goals. Goal number one being to increase popularity. The product doesn’t have to be built to the best standards, or sound the best, but as long as popular iconic faces recommend the product people will buy it; it’s all about the sales numbers. Number two, is usage of false statements when selling the product. 7.1 audio surround sound capabilities…
Whether its rock and roll, blues, country, pop, rap, or instrumental, we all enjoy some type of music genre.

It didn’t matter if you were going on a long car ride or taking a walk down the streets of New York City. You can still buy CD…

Do a Google search for “portable speakers” and you will find thousands of different shapes, colors, styles, designs, and features. So which one is right for you?

Hard drives play an important role in our computers. They provide you with a safe, efficient, and effective way to store your important electronic data. However, at times, these drives can fail leaving you with corrupt data or vanishing partitions. If this does happen to you, there are many free data recovery programs to help assist you in saving your data. At certain times, one or more partitions may not appear when you click on Start > Computer, but they will appear in Disk Management. This situation arises when Windows is either reinstalled or an external drive is disconnected incorrectly.…
Headsets in general allow people to enter into their own virtual world. Whether that be listening to the climax of a movie or the foot steps behind you in a computer game. As I have said in the past, your computer peripherals are really what makes your experience come to life. Having reviewed many different types of audio equipment lately, I have gained a respectable sense of what makes a good audio device.
