Good: The Koss PRO DJ100s have a decent sound for a good price. The headphones have an analytical, though not harsh, sound that makes them suitable to budget audiophiles and recording musicians. The headphones seem well-constructed.
Bad: The headphones can make your ears sweaty and are uncomfortable to wear for hours at a time. The headphones aren't able to dig up very much bass and aren't suited to the Monster Beats crowd. The stereo/mono switch is a little bit gimmicky.
Bottom Line: While we can't see many DJs using them, the Koss PRO DJ100s are a decent set of headphones that will expose the detail in your music. [Read more]

Good: The Asus ET2700I is unique for its 27-inch display, a fast Core i7 GPU, and a discrete Nvidia graphics chip.
Bad: Like other 27-inch Windows all-in-ones, the Asus' 1080p resolution hurts its appeal next to the higher-resolution 27-inch iMac.
Bottom Line: The Asus ET2700I will meet the needs of anyone searching for a fast, large-screen all-in-one for mainstream home entertainment and general-purpose productivity. [Read more]

Good: The LG Optimus 3D Max has a speedy dual-core processor and a crisp display, and it's equipped with an NFC chip and tag stickers.
Bad: The LG Optimus 3D Max's display has a narrow viewing angle when in 3D mode, and the 3D software is still buggy. Also, until an upgrade comes you're stuck on Android Gingerbread.
Bottom Line: On its own, the 3D Max is a solid dual-core phone with some neat NFC-enabled features. But the hiccupping 3D feature, although cool, is a drag. [Read more]

Good: The Samsung Series 7 Gamer has a fantastic screen, plenty of ports, a blazing processor and graphics, and most of the features you'd be looking for in a gaming desktop replacement.
Bad: This clunky beast isn't a looker, and it's hardly priced to be relevant to most shoppers: at slightly under $2,000, this is a specialty item.
Bottom Line: The Samsung Series 7 Gamer is huge, expensive, and unattractive, but it's also one of the best gaming laptops that we've seen this year. If you don't mind its beefy 17-inch form, you won't be disappointed. [Read more]

Good: The Ion Air Pro is waterproof up to 30 meters and shock resistant. HD video is easy to capture with the record slider. Photos can be captured without stopping video capture. Wi-Fi Podz add-on allows syncing, remote viewing, and simple controls via an iOS app or Web browser.
Bad: The nonrotating lens makes orienting shots at odd angles tricky. No SD card is included in the box.
Bottom Line: The standard Ion Air Pro is a rugged sports camcorder that is easy to use with many thoughtful features, but the addition of Wi-Fi and app connectivity makes it a truly standout camera. [Read more]

Good: The Energizer 5W USB Wall Charger has a compact and portable design that prevents your cable from getting tangled. The charging light is a nice touch.
Bad: Even when the cable is wrapped, the 5W's USB and phone ports are exposed.
Bottom Line: With its convenient and portable package, the Energizer 5W Wall Charger offers some welcome improvements over the common cell phone charger. [Read more]

Good: The Buffalo AirStation AC1300 / N900 Gigabit Dual Band Wireless Router WZR-D1800H supports 802.11ac and all previous Wi-Fi standards. It's very fast on the 5GHz band and is comparatively affordable.
Bad: The router's 802.11ac speed, while very fast, isn't close to what the new standard is supposed to offer. Its 2.4GHz band Wireless-N performance could use some improvement, and the support for USB external hard drives is limited and buggy.
Bottom Line: The Buffalo AirStation AC1300 / N900 Gigabit Dual Band Wireless Router WZR-D1800H offers great value by adding support for 802.11ac on top of a high-end N900 router without increasing the price. However, the router doesn't have enough appeal for those who just need a simple, low-budget wireless home networking. [Read more]

Bad: The monitor pushes a bit too much green in images and has little ergonomic support.
Bottom Line: HP 2311xi's impressively wide viewing angle, useful connections, and low price make it an easy monitor to recommend. [Read more]

Good: Entertaining cooperative gameplay with Tails
Fun & quot;3D & quot; bonus levels

Bad: Tails isn't a distinct character
Boss battles are boring
Many levels lack a sense of speed

Bottom Line: Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II is a solid though unremarkable continuation of the long-running formula. [Read more]
