Better than Beats (Audio)

You've heard about Beats by Dr. Dre, and Bose headphones, and maybe you think they're pretty good. Well those famous brands had better watch their backs, according to Consumer Reports Magazine, because headphones by Grado Labs out of Brooklyn NY are better than both of them.

Named the top-rated headphone model, the $300 Grado 325 was deemed superior to any of the models made by Beats or Bose. At any price. In June, Grado released an update to the model, called the 325e, which delivers even more bang for your buck.

These are headphones for serious listening, not for commuting.
The 325e model is said to have "Less bling, more zing", a comment Consumer Reports found to be right on target. Like our Portable Bluetooth Speaker.

"I don't especially care what my headphones look like" the reviewer says. "I can't see them while I'm wearing them, and I'm not counting on headphones to enhance my admittedly low social status. But I do want them to sound good, and in this area the 325 headphones excel, providing excellent overall sound, with a neutral to cool character".


There's plenty more technical information on the Grado Labs website. 

Music Streamers - Make you Choice

Well, we know there are a few Apps out there for music streaming for our phone. I've tried some of them. I just pair my phone with Bluetooth enabled media device using my portable Bluetooth speaker and so far, they all have work just great, I totally love them. 

This time I wanted make a fair comparison between those apps and others I haven't tried yet to help you decide, what's the best for you. 

Here's a table with a column for each one: 

I think that whether Google Play Music is a great app and it is already installed on the phone, Spotify has more years on the market and more experience on what the USER wants and needs. Haven't tried Beats yet, but it kind of looks limited.

Please comment and let me know what you think.
