Originally part of Make the Sound Better, I have attempted to rework this article to make it more relevant. It was originally the best budget earbuds for 2023, but who knows when it was originally written as it listed wired earbuds that are mostly no longer available. However, there is still a demand for wired earbuds,…
I was a little confused by the recent launch of the Anker Soundcore Liberty 4 NC. Based on the name and the claims of these being the best noise-cancelling earbuds Soundcore have; you’d think they would launch at a premium price, with the assumption that they are an upgraded version of the Soundcore Liberty 4….
Originally part of Make the Sound Better, this article has been reworked to be more relevant, and the recommendations list has been updated for current recommendations in 2023. In my opinion, when it comes to headphone stands, I feel that a lot of people do not really pay the attention that they require in the first place….
The Edifier W820NB Plus headphones were launched last month and are an incremental improvement to the existing W820NB headphones which were launched a couple of years ago. These headphones add LDAC, improve the battery, Bluetooth and ANC performance while retaining the overall design and drivers. These are excellent headphones for anyone looking for something affordable,…
You don’t have to be an audiophile to need a headphone amplifier, as they come with some great benefits that are sure to rock (or rap) your world. I had mine set up, and I’ll never go back to the ampless world, but I was initially stumped when I heard how much they cost. Well, you’ll be…

This article was originally published on Make the Sound Better. I have refreshed the content with product recommendations that are relevant for 2023. You’ve probably come across ASMR videos at some point, and we wouldn’t blame you if you were wondering where they were, and how they work. ASMR, which stands for an autonomous sensory meridian response, is…
If you rely on your phone and make dozens of calls every day, you probably know the value of a good Bluetooth headset. Whether you take calls while in a car, at your desk, or on the go, it can be a life saviour, there is one problem, though. There are thousands of these products on…
Creative has added to their family of Katana soundbars with the Katana SE. Unlike the existing Katana soundbars, this does not include a subwoofer. Instead, Creative has equipped this with much larger 109 mm (4.3”) mid-range drivers vs the 63 mm (2.5″) drivers on the other models. This should allow the soundbar to achieve excellent…
When it comes to watching movies or just regular TV programmes, there’s a surprising amount of people who underestimate the importance of good audio. TVs nowadays are designed to be as thin as possible, and this, therefore, limits how good the audio can be. Some of the more premium Sony TVs use a fancy technology…
I remember the mid-2000’s. Going outside without an MP3 player was like going outside naked. There was something about this device that made it so fantastic. While yesterday’s phones might have had an abundance of features, none were as well defined as today. If you wanted to listen to music, play a game, or view a video…
Let’s face it.Choosing a new headphones pair is not easy even if you’re not a first-time buyer. Should I pickup over ear headphones or over-ears? Earphones or earbuds?
