Sennheiser Momentum

Sennheiser Momentum

The Sennheiser Momentum headphones may not have enough bass to satisfy every taste, but they are in every other way the best-sounding full-size audiophile headphones we've heard in a long time. Read the review.

Carbon for Android

Carbon for Android

Carbon for Android is beautiful and runs like a dream. But its developers still need to work on a few key features. Read the review.

Canon EOS 6D

Canon EOS 6D

The photo quality you get from the Canon EOS 6D makes it well worth the upgrade over a consumer APS-C model, but between this and comparable or higher-end models it's a less obvious choice. Read the review.

Winamp for Android

Winamp for Android

If its Wi-Fi sync feature were better designed and more reliable, Winamp for Android would be a worthwhile download. As it stands, it's just a good music player that is not particularly impressive. Read the review.

2013 Ford Taurus

2013 Ford Taurus

The 2013 Ford Taurus presents cabin technology rich in features, from navigation to automatic parallel parking, in an easy-driving large sedan package, but the sluggish touch-screen response can be aggravating. Read the review.

DoubleTwist for Android

DoubleTwist for Android

DoubleTwist for Android is the best music player we've seen on Android. And with the premium AirSync upgrade (highly recommended), it makes it a snap to sync and transfer music between your mobile device and your desktop. Read the review.

Microsoft Surface Pro

Microsoft Surface Pro

The Microsoft Surface Pro's gutsy design successfully reinvents the Windows 8 laptop by cramming an ultrabook experience into the body of a 10-inch tablet. Those wanting to go all-in on the tablet experience won't regret buying the Surface Pro, but we're holding out for a future, more polished generation of the device. Read the review.

Samsung Series 5 UltraTouch

Samsung Series 5 UltraTouch

Samsung's midprice Series 5 UltraTouch looks and feels like a more expensive machine, but keeps it simple by skipping the complex hybrid mechanics of so many new Windows 8 systems. Read the review.

Vizio SB4021M-A1

Vizio SB4021M-A1

The Vizio SB4021M-A1 hits a nice blend of features, design, and performance for its price, but better sound bars are coming in a few months. Read the review.

2013 BMW X1 xDrive28i

2013 BMW X1 xDrive28i

It's not a driver aid powerhouse, but the 2013 BMW X1 xDrive28i with the M Sport package is a driver's car with great handling and a spartan yet premium feel. Read the review.

Incipio f38

Incipio f38

While they may not be truly special for their modest price, the Incipio f38s are solid, good-sounding headphones for the money. Read the review.

Nokia Purity Pro by Monster

Nokia Purity Pro by Monster

For smartphone owners who crave both active noise canceling and Bluetooth wireless audio, the Nokia Purity Pro by Monster headphones are worth their steep price. Read the review.

Proximo Proximity Monitoring System

Proximo Proximity Monitoring System

The Proximo Proximity Monitoring System is reliable and very easy to use, but $60 is a high price to pay just to keep track of your belongings. Read the review.
