I am incredibly picky about my headphones. I hate anything that messes with the sound of my music and more often than not the wrong set of headphones will do just that. I tend to buy standard headphones with or without microphone attachments because that is usually what suits my needs. Earbuds aren’t normally purchased because I find, in most cases, the sound is not as dynamic. As if that isn’t bad enough, they aren’t always the most comfortable thing to wear, when they stay in at all.

The Coosh Earbuds were sent to me for review and I tried them out as soon as they arrived. The sound was rich and full bodied when compared to other earbuds in this price range, making them worthy of purchase. There were some issues with bass being weaker than I prefer, but that is usually the case with headphones like this.

The comfort level is also supposed to be high thanks to the addition of “arms”, which wrap around your ear to hold the buds securely into place. Both the arms and the earbuds are encased in a soft plastic, which should allow for comfortable wearing for an extended amount of time.

One of the things that I initially loved about these earbuds was the bent plugin jack. The bendable jack allows the earbuds to plug into things much easier without those things being awkwardly placed. Considering most people are going to use these headphones on the go this is a major plus. It’s also something that allows the Coosh brand to stand out.

When it came to wearing these, I was not in love with them. I am not a huge fan of earbuds anyway, but these continually wanted to slip out even though they had been placed in securely. If they did stay in the whole feeling that they were pressing into my ear just got on my nerves. I could use them for an hour or two at a time, but then I just wanted them out.

When Sony approached me to test out the Sony Mylo Com-2 (the Mylo for short) I actually had never heard of it. I admit, thanks to a number of full-time blogs that some very cool electronics pass me by, unless they are thrown at me. The Mylo was one of those electronics that I was given the chance to review. The best way to describe the Mylo is as a personal communicator. Instead of focusing on telephone-based communication, the Mylo handles most things internet based, which makes it a handy dandy tool in this day and age.

Using Wi-fi you can hook up just about anywhere. I believe the website states that you can enjoy free Wi-fi at more than 9,000 restaurants and public establishments. If you’re running a router in your house, you should also be able to hook up there, as well. This is not entirely necessary, but if you’re watching a movie or doing something else and do not want to be bothered with a computer, it is nice to have the option of using your Mylo.

Look/Appearance:
The Mylo is a sleek rectangular device with rounded edges that comes in either black or white. The black one was sent to me and I have to admit, I am a sucker for black electronics. A qwerty keyboard is used to handle typing. The keyboard is tucked under the device and can be slid out when you are ready to type. The Mylo comes with a case that is black with white edges. The Mylo label is etched into the center of the case on one side and on the other side there is a mesh holder where you can keep your headphones and stylus.

I had been talking about getting a laptop for quite some time. Having a laptop when you’re a fulltime blogger certainly has its perks. You aren’t confined to one area like you would be with a desktop, and if the system is right you could end up with something as good in a laptop. Currently, the majority of my blogging is done on my main system, which is a Dell XPS. So, when Dell began sporting the new Studio line of laptops, which are comparable in many of the specs to the XPS, with a cheaper price tag, I took notice.

I had a gift card left over that Dell gave me as a promotion when I purchased my XPS (you can read more about that at my personal blog), so when the Studios went on sale I decided to purchase the 1735. The main difference between the 17s and 15s are the screen size. The price was not that different, which convinced me to go for the bigger screen. Unfortunately, things with the Studio did not work out so well. In fact, as it sits here preparing to be sent back to Dell, the nicest thing I can say is that the color was pretty. Of course, even the pretty color comes with a few flaws, including an easily scuffable cover and the ability to attract fingerprints and dust like nobody’s business.

Look/Appearance:
Dell offers you the option of choosing a number of colors or artist designs for the Studio laptops. You can choose from such colors as Black, Midnight Blue, Spring Green, Orange, Purple, Pink and a number of other colors. Depending on the package that you get, the cost for colors for a Studio laptop will either be free or $25. I opted to get the Midnight Blue. The color is more noticeable in the light and though it is blue, I wouldn’t say that it’s midnight blue. The color wasn’t exactly like the one on the website, but it was acceptable.

The keyboard was probably the nicest part of the system. Thanks to the bigger screen the keys on the keyboard offer a roomier feel to them and the inclusion of a number pad makes the keyboard feel more like a standard keyboard, which I prefer to the smaller, laptop style. Above the keyboard are a set of media buttons. These buttons work with a slight touch and control your volume (on, off, high, low, and mute), eject your optical drive, and play or pause movies that you might be watching. I found these buttons to be a little sensitive. All it took was a slight brush of the finger when I was getting acquainted with the system and my volume was going up, down, muting, and coming back on in no time. As these buttons are black, only lighting up when they are touched, they can be hard to see unless you know what you are looking for, too.

I have to admit that I am somewhat of a watch fanatic. There is something about jewelry that I find absolutely addictive. Maybe it’s just the fact that I like to spend money. Whatever it is, I own more watches than I need to own. I received my last watch at Christmas as a present from someone. This is the last new watch in my collection because I have been trying to limit myself. However, when Casio contacted me about reviewing the new Baby-G MSG300 watch, I couldn’t resist.

The Baby G was a real treat to receive for a number of reasons. First, every reviewer loves receiving high quality, attractive items to review. Second, we have been planning to add more fashion and electronics reviews, so this made a nice set of opening reviews. You can see a review for one of the new Casio Pathfinders which Dominick reviewed and the Exilim digital camera, also by Casio. I haven’t owned a Casio watch for quite some time, but it’s nice to have a watch that I am compelled to continue wearing without even considering purchasing a new one while doing so.

Look/Appearance:
I had no clue what the Baby G was going to look like until it arrived. I visited the Casio website, but there are a number of models and the particular one I received (you can see the photo to the right) was not on the website when I went to check it out. My waiting paid off when I received a sleek, stylish watch with a pink face that offers spots for date, day, and seconds. The white ring encircling the face includes the Baby-G name and six silver studs to add to the fashion quality.

While I adore the color of the face, it is the unique look of the band that really caught my eye. The white resin composite band shares space with metal, which shows up alternatively for a look that is both different and trendy. This look works well for most any occasion, be it something sporty or something more casual in nature. The thing I like is the actual size and shape of the band. This tends to mimic the larger, male watches, rather than the more traditional female watches that are smaller and thinner. It is still comfortable enough for a female, but offers the look of a sportier watch in comparison to most other female watches.

I like wearing watches. If it weren’t for my new Pathfinder PAW1500-1V watch I might know what time it was depending on whether there was another clock in the room (or if I happened to be on the computer), but I wouldn’t be so certain about the day of the week or the particular date. Since I don’t work a 9-5, Monday-Friday job, I’ve found it is increasingly difficult to keep track of the date and day of the week. Days start to blur into one another and that’s how I am able to miss appointments. I no longer have that problem because my Pathfinder PAW1500-1V watch tells me exactly what time it is, what day it is and what the date is.

It’s actually quite convenient because all of this information is displayed on the initial watch screen. There is no need to press buttons to get the date. It’s all right there on the watch face, which is quite good looking if I do say so, myself. What the buttons are for is actually quite innovative. I like to say that you could take this watch on a scuba trip or yachting. Travel adventures are recommended when you own the Pathfinder PAW1500-1V watch. Too bad I don’t own a yacht!

Look/Appearance:
As I mentioned before this is one good looking watch. The spiffy design ensures I’m more than willing to wear this on my arm. The black color for the Pathfinder PAW1500-1V watch goes with nearly everything I own, making it the perfect accessory no matter the occasion. The professional yet casual look to the watch means I can wear it no matter what I’m doing each day. This could go nicely with a casual suit or when I’m out in track pants and a t-shirt. It really is a versatile watch. With a sporty look and a plethora of options you won’t want to go anywhere without the Pathfinder PAW1500-1V watch.

My watch came in an attractive black color with a gray watch face. The face has the ability to be lighted with a fluorescent (aqua) blue glow so the watch face can be seen in the dark. The watch has multiple buttons on the sides and the bottom. The right side buttons are textured and silver while the bottom buttons are black, blending in with the rest of the watch. The Pathfinder PAW1500-1V has a silver band with multiple, adjustable slots, allowing the watch to fit a wide variety of wrist sizes.

One of the greatest things about being a reviewer is the chance to get some really neat items to review. When I found out we had the chance to review products made by Casio I was ecstatic. Casio offers some of the best in electronics including cameras, keyboards and watches. Casio has a wide selection of products that appear to be of high quality. A leading electronics manufacturer in the United States, I was just waiting for the opportunity to review one of the many new products now available by the company.

My first review comes in the form of a review on a Casio camera. This summer, Casio has decided to release a line of slimline cameras including the Casio EXILIM Zoom EX-Z100 camera. Available in a selection of colors, this digital camera allows for easy transfer of photos and movies from the camera to a PC. Boasting superior picture quality, the Casio EXILIM Zoom EX-Z100 camera features many revolutionary functions and features.

Look/Appearance:
I received the Casio EXILIM Zoom EX-Z100PK camera, which is a pink/rose colored camera. I was slightly concerned about the appearance when I learned I would receive a pink camera, but this color is actually quite stylish. It’s more of a metallic rose than an actual pink. The Casio EXILIM Zoom EX-Z100 is also available in Blue, Brown, and Silver. This camera is relatively lightweight at close to 4 oz. The slim screen features a large (for the camera’s size) 2.7 inch LCD screen. There are some new features to this camera that other Casio products don’t offer. With a uniquely attractive appearance, this is one camera you won’t mind being seen using!

When I was a kid my best friend and my neighbor both had big screen televisions. Like every other kid, I thought they were so cool. There couldn’t have been anything in the world better than having a big screen television, right? I don’t know if the same theory holds true as an adult, but one thing I do know is that I always wanted at least one projection television in my house. Recently, we decided to pick onw up.

The biggest worry was that the screen quality would not be as superior as one of the smaller screens. In the older versions of bigger screen televisions there tended to be issues with light and dark contrast and overall quality. Obviously if you are going to pay a significant amount of money for something you want to make sure it’s going to be worth every penny. Based on the available models we opted for a Hitachi Advanced CRT Projection Television. With 51”of screen and build-in surround sound speakers; this is the closest thing to a movie theater you will get in your home for a reasonable price.

The Hitachi offers several key features that provide what we were looking for in a television like this. The beautiful picture quality and superb sound would have been enough to make this purchase worthwhile though the Hitachi 51F59 actually has many other worthwhile features that make the choice we made even better. After using this product for a few months prior to reviewing I can honestly say that this Hitachi was one of the best televisions to ever come into our home. The picture is as crisp as the day we received it and the sound is just as fantastic. We couldn’t have asked for a better television.
