Posted: 22 Jul 2013 11:20 PM PDT Editor's Rating: User Rating: Good: Sony's MDR-7506 closed-back, full-size headphones click with all music genres and are comfortable to wear for hours at a time. They sound excellent sound for their relatively modest price point. Bad: With a coiled, pro-style cable and lack of an inline remote/microphone, some will find the 7506s less mobile-friendly than more modern headphones. Bottom Line: They've been around since 1991, but the Sony MDR-7506s are still great sounding -- and fitting -- headphones for less than $100. [Read more] |
Posted: 22 Jul 2013 11:09 PM PDT Editor's Rating: User Rating: Good: The T-Mobile Prism 2 clocked in consistent and fast 3G speeds, is reasonably priced, and its 3.2-megapixel camera takes decent pictures. Bad: The Prism 2 is slow, has a low-resolution screen and a low call volume, and its camera lacks a flash. Bottom Line: Get the T-Mobile Prism 2 if you want an inexpensive and dependable 3G phone, but skip it if you prioritize a speedy performance. [Read more] |
Posted: 22 Jul 2013 10:57 PM PDT Editor's Rating: User Rating: Good: The Samsung E5500 plasma TV offers a very attractive mix of features, performance, and design for the right price; black levels are very good for the money; Smart TV and a usable Web browser are unexpected bonuses; 51-inch version is relatively energy efficient. Bad: Picture quality deteriorates quickly in as room lighting brightens; relatively inaccurate color of red; poor sound quality. Bottom Line: The Samsung F5500 plasma offers great features and very good picture quality, but its performance suffers significantly under the lights. [Read more] |

Pandora Radio (Windows Phone 8) Posted: 22 Jul 2013 07:46 PM PDT Editor's Rating: User Rating: Good: Pandora for Windows Phone gives you quick access to high-quality music when you don't want to pick out a full playlist. No ads through the end of 2013 make it better than Pandora on iOS and Android. Bad: You can't see or edit your Pandora user profile from the app, or share your current song to Facebook. Bottom Line: Pandora's easy-to-use interface and massive music library make the app a must-download for music fans with Windows phones. [Read more] |
Posted: 22 Jul 2013 12:00 PM PDT Editor's Rating: User Rating: Good: The Leap Motion Controller is a Kinect-like input device for Macs and Windows PCs. It has impressive 3D spatial tracking and already has dozens of compatible apps. It costs under $80. Bad: It only works with compatible apps; not as intuitive or reliable as using a touch pad, touch screen, or mouse for everyday tasks; your arms will get tired when using it. Bottom Line: Leap Motion's Kinect-like PC motion controller has its moments of magic, but right now it's more toy than productivity tool. [Read more] |
