Mar 29th, 2013 at 8:00AM: This past holiday season we reviewed two pairs of earphones from a U.K. company called RHA, giving them high marks for excellent sound quality at an affordable price. We were quite impressed with how well both products performed as they presented listeners with clear, crisp audio that was on par with earbuds from the competition that cost considerably more. After testing their in-ear options I ...

Nov 12th, 2012 at 8:00AM: Traveling with our smartphones, mp3 players and tablets has made life so much more enjoyable. Those devices bring a host of entertainment options in compact packages, allowing us to listen to music, watch movies and television shows, play games, chat with friends and a whole lot more.

Nov 14th, 2011 at 8:00AM: Modern technology has obviously had a dramatic impact on how we travel.

But one of the key elements for enjoying our music and videos is a good pair of headphones, preferably headphones that are comfortable ...

May 2nd, 2010 at 4:30PM: Until recently, I'd always silently scoffed at the travelers who boarded planes with a pair of those obnoxious noise-canceling headphones pulled over their ears or wrapped around their necks.

Jan 22nd, 2010 at 1:30PM: I have been blessed with the gift of being able to sleep on virtually any moving vehicle. I've slept in large airplanes, small propeller planes, trucks on unsealed roads, cars, trains and boats. I sleep without the help of drugs, herbal supplements or any other gimmicks.
