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 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.
