It looks like that totally wireless future we all dreamed about is here. These minuscule earbuds connect to Kleer-compatible music players — there aren't many yet, but hopefully more folks will begin using the technology — and receive music wirelessly.

This thing is like a classic Mustang – all muscle. You can throw anything at it - you know, HD DVD players, game consoles, TiVos, Blu-ray - and expect phenomenal 7.1 surround sound. And we mean pristine. read more...
While there's no doubt Apple sold an insane amount of iPods this holiday season, I'm hoping consumers will be able to see past some of the hype and notice another very capable digital player: Microsoft's new Zune. read more...
The great thing about surround-sound headphones is that you can enjoy those loud, booming movies while not disturbing anyone else around. One of the best pairs of headphones in this category is are the Pioneer SE-DIR800C models. These deliver nice, clear sound, even in action movies, with no audible distortion to be heard.
