Good: The Cambridge Soundworks OontZ sounds good for a modestly priced mini Bluetooth speaker. It also offers good battery life, built-in speakerphone capabilities, and an attractive though somewhat generic design. A carrying pouch is included.
Bad: Some people won't like how bright the blue light is on the font of the unit; speaker has a Mini-USB port (for charging) instead of the now more common Micro-USB port.
Bottom Line: The Cambridge Soundworks Oontz may not look incredibly swanky, but it delivers good sound, features, and battery life for its modest price point. [Read more]

User Rating:
Good: Digg for iOS is a beautiful app with a unique blend of social news and RSS reader capabilities. If you're coming from Google Reader, importing your subscriptions is a snap.
Bad: There's no way to view Popular or Upcoming stories on Digg. The reader doesn't let you organize subscriptions. There are a number of bugs and missing features.
Bottom Line: Digg is a beautiful app that blends social news with RSS subscriptions, but bugs and missing features make it suitable only for the most committed Digg users. [Read more]

Olympus PEN E-P5 (with 17mm lens and viewfinder, silver)

User Rating:
Good: The Olympus PEN E-P5 renders extremely good photos for its class, and has a streamlined shooting design. Plus, it's fast.
Bad: The navigation button/dial is annoyingly awkward, and I wish the flash tilted.
Bottom Line: An excellent entry in the Micro Four Thirds universe, the Olympus PEN E-P5 should please a lot of folks, but it's also expensive given that it doesn't deliver best-in-class photo quality. [Read more]

Motorheadphones 33009 Motorizer

Posted: 27 Jun 2013 09:53 PM PDT

Editor's Rating:

User Rating:
Good: The Motorizers feature distinctive Motorhead branding and a very rock-friendly sound; lack of a bass bump also makes them suited to most styles of music; detachable cables.
Bad: Build quality is a little cheap-feeling; the presence boost can make the headphones a little tiring to listen to after a while; they don't fold flat and so are less portable than other DJ headphones; they're plasticky and the earcups attract lint. Would you buy a pair of headphones named after a group of hearing-impaired elderly men?
Bottom Line: The Motorheadphones Motorizers look and sound very rock-and-roll, but need a little more attention to the build quality. [Read more]
