Sony MDRPQ4/BLK PIIQ Headphones Review

It's hard to determine in the vast earbud and headphone market today, which pairs have good sound quality and which pairs are just for looks. In fact I was surprised to learn that most earbuds and headphones sold anymore base their product on looks and lack in the sound category. With that said, I found a pair of earbuds that look good and sound good! They are very affordable and they come in a variety of cool modern designs, but the main selling point for me was the fact that they are PIIQ earbuds which are a brand of Sony. I have always loved the sound quality of Sony products, so I figured I would give them a try, even though I was a tad skeptical of the low price point, thinking that if they are under $20 then they couldn't have too great of a sound, but what I have found is that the sound is comparable to my Apple In-Ear Earbuds. 

Apple iPad 2 Camera Quality Test & Photo Booth App Review

There were always whispers concerning the fact that the first generation iPad did not include a camera, while other competing tablets boasted two cameras. With the announcement of the iPad 2, Apple silenced the whispers about the iPad's lack of hardware as opposed to the competition. The iPad 2 feature's a front facing VGA quality camera, and a rear facing High Definition camera. It has become apparent that the camera quality of the "HD" camera isn't as great as the quality of the iPhone 4's HD camera. Nevertheless, it is an HD camera of 'noteworthy' quality (video below). 

In addition to the two new cameras for the iPad 2, Apple also unveiled their popular Photo Booth app that would be included in iOS 4.3. Photo Booth has been available for Mac's with iSight camera's for the past few years. With the addition of Photo Booth for the iPad 2, Apple continues to make a majority of their Apps universal between their Mac's and iOS devices. 

In these two videos, I provide a quick look at the video and audio quality of the iPad 2's front and rear facing camera's. As well as a review of the Photo Booth App included in the iPad's iOS 4.3 software.

Review: Blue Snowball Microphone

In today's post I'm doing a quick review of the Blue Snowball Microphone. It's priced at $99 but if you'd like a cheaper way to go, go with Amazon. The Blue Snowball Microphone has a very unique form factor; a ball. It's actually pretty cool looking to me. It's also got a mount that helps keep it stable while use. The stand has three adjustable legs to create easy and hassle free transportation. Overall I'm very satisfied with my microphone. You can use it for podcasting, video blogging, music creation and more! Personally, I use it for my YouTube videos and my live webcasts on uStream.TV. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to take a look at my post.
