Mar 4th, 2013 at 8:00AM: Audiophiles are a tough group to please and traveling audiophiles even more so. They demand the absolute best sound out of their equipment and they seem to always be on a quest for better music quality. That's a challenging enough prospect when they're at home with a full-fledged stereo system at their disposal, but when on the road it can be nearly impossible. A good pair of headphones and a ...Gadling Gear Review: Phiaton Noise-Canceling Earphones

But the noise, oh, lord, the noise, ...

May 15th, 2012 at 9:00AM: There's no device I love to hate as much as I hate to love my iPhone. (You read that right.) Your mileage may vary; you may not feel like both a chump and a devotee while caressing your mobile whatever. Until I attain your Zen-like state, I feel annoyed whenever I find myself buying presents for my phone, even if they are practical and make using my phone a better experience. Here's the drill on ...Gadling gear review: V-Moda Crossfade M-80 headphones

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

Feb 28th, 2011 at 1:00PM: While some people enjoy falling asleep to the soothing sounds of music or the television, the noise can disturb others. Whether you're at home trying to sleep next to your spouse who prefers peace and quiet or on a plane where you want some background noise to drawn out the passengers around you but also don't want to disturb them, trying to sleep while also listening to music can be a challenge. ...Review - V-MODA Vibrato Remote noise isolating headphones

Jul 27th, 2010 at 1:30PM:
No longer content with hours of "are we there yet" and I Spy, kids have far more choices in entertainment than I had as a kid. Many minivans come with a full DVD entertainment system, and most kids can find there way around an iPhone or iPod without any help.

Mar 30th, 2010 at 4:37PM: Sick of hearing about a stranger's dysfunctional family or odd medical conditions? Avoid conversations all-together by doing a simple thing: wear headphones.
This works best if you also avoid eye contact (and it may be necessary to pretend that you don't hear you fellow passengers the first time they speak). Pull your headphones off when speaking to them and then put the headphones back on when ...11 tips for sleeping on planes
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.

Jan 9th, 2010 at 7:43AM: Headphones are an absolute "must-have" when traveling on an airplane, for several reasons --
On longer flights, it's common to show a movie, and you probably want to hear it well.
On other flights, the plane may have on-board games or on-demand music.
Of course, you may bring your own pre-recorded music to help get away.
The largest benefit, though, is simply to help cancel out "airplane ...CitySounds.fm: the sound of the world
Aug 13th, 2009 at 1:00PM: Travelers often think of destinations in terms of what they see: the Eiffel Tower lit up at night, the gaudy neon of the Las Vegas Strip or the fiery pink of a sunset in Tahiti. Yet it's our other senses - the smells, tastes and particularly for music fans, the sounds that can truly stick in our subconscious, evoking vivid memories of our journey. Those in search of some "sonic wanderlust" need ...Gadling gear review - Altec Lansing BackBeat PRO noise isolating headphones
