Jabra Sport Pace Wireless Earbuds Review

February 05, 2016/ Nir Schneider

Working out with wired headphones should be outlawed. There's a good reason why companies like Jaybird and Beats have been making wireless in-ear headphones for years now that are designed for people who train to the tune of their favorite music. And if you're one of those people, you might be interested in one of the more recent wireless headphones to come out - the Sport Pace. Although technically not in-ear headphones, the Sport Pace are one of Jabra's newest additions to its wireless sports earbuds collection built to withstand military standards for sweat, rain, dust, and shock resistance. These wireless sport headphones aren't just for music listening, they'll motivate you and enhance your workouts. Be sure to catch our full review after the break!

Vifa Helsinki Portable Wireless Speaker Review

January 29, 2016/ Nir Schneider

Vifa might not be as big or as widely known as Bang & Olufsen, but it's easy to see why they're just as good when it comes to uncompromised audio. Vifa is a Danish company and like all good Danish brands, Vifa's Scandinavian design prowess is unquestionably embedded into every one of its beautifully crafted, one-of-a-kind products. The Helsinki is one of three wireless speakers under Vifa's umbrella, which were all named after Nordic city capitals – the $449 Helsinki, the $799 Copenhagen, and the $1,699 Stockholm wireless soundbar. Vifa's Helsinki is the most portable of them all, features a leather carry handle and a fashionable chic design with a total of six drivers under that petite Nordic body for authentic sound reproduction. So can this finally be the portable speaker to beat the JBL Xtreme, and is it really worth its price in sound? Catch out full review to find out!

Oppo PM-3 Over-Ear Headphones Review

November 19, 2015/ Nir Schneider

We've reviewed a bunch of headphones over the years, and what they all had in common were traditional, commonly used voice coil dynamic drivers as a means of producing sound. But very few headphones use a driver technology that's called "planar magnetic drivers", which are large thin diaphragms sandwiched between magnetic grids that use all of their surface to produce sound, don't have two moving parts like dynamic drivers, and have an ultra-fast transient response. You'll only see these being used on high-end, expensive headphones from companies like Audeze and HiFiMan. Another brand that prides itself in using planar magnetic drivers is Oppo, a company you may not immediately recognize or associate with audio at all. Oppo's PM-3 are the company's entry-level over-ear headphones which use planar magnetic drivers to produce high quality sound that's more accurate and has less distortion than other similarly priced headphones with typical dynamic drivers. So how does a $400 pair of planar magnetic headphones sound like? You can check out our full review down below to find out!

The Best iPad Pro Cases, Keyboards & Stands

November 13, 2015/ The Gadgetmac Team

The iPad Pro is one of the best content creation and content consumption devices on the market, for both creatives and novice users alike. And now that Apple introduced such a huge, and some might even say unwieldy tablet, it's even more important that you have some kind of stand feature for a comfortable hands-free user experience when you need it. And of course you probably want to add some protection to your $800+ slab of metal and glass. But Apple's decision to sell separate front and back protective accessories for the iPad Pro instead of an all-encompassing Smart Case option will undoubtedly leave users upset and left looking for third party alternatives.

In case you haven't noticed yet, even Apple's Smart Keyboard accessory for the iPad Pro is really a Smart Cover that doesn't offer any back or side protection. One way to avoid paying so much for a mere Smart Cover and still get the same hands-free functionality is to get a protective case with a built-in stand feature. Which is exactly the reason we've put together a an easy way for you to pick out a great case for your iPad Pro whether it's full on protection you're looking for, a standalone stand, a tempered glass screen protector, or a keyboard case that will actually offer folio-like 360-degree protection. Be sure to catch the full roundup of some of the best iPad Pro accessories you can get right now down below!
