Gear: House Of Marley Stir It Up Headphones Review


Last Month we showed you the House of Marley, Conquerer Mist Ear Buds, quite possibly the best ear buds I’ve ever listened to music with. Since then, I’ve been trying out the House of Marley “Stir It Up” over the ear headphones.

As I said in my last review, the House of Marley products aren’t just some licensing agreement with another company, they are designed, distributed, and marketed by Bob Marley’s family, spear headed by Marley’s son Rohan Marley.

Rohan Marley isn’t trying to make a quick buck off of his fathers name by plastering their family name on audio products. The House of Marley is actually a movement that brings attention to social causes around the world. The Marley family and the House of Marley volunteers use the proceeds from their audio lines to fund their outreach missions. You can also bet with the Marley’s musical background playing real instruments that the sound that comes out of the House of Marley line is exceptional.

He’s that much of an interesting interview so I couldn’t help it. He has been on the road and was able to take the time to inventory his gear along with sending a couple of photos…

What’s In Your Bag: Michael Neal

Michael Neal a photographer out of Maui, after seeing another What’s In Your Bag contacted us, and I’ve been in talks with him ever since and couldn’t wait for him to show us what was in his bag. After seeing some of the photos from his site I knew his gear was going to just be as crazy as his photos, and he didn’t disappoint.

I’m a freelance surf and nature photographer based on Maui,Hawaii. I have been shooting professionally for 7 years. My surf photos focus on the many talented surfer here on Maui, with an emphasize on the big waves of Peahi (Jaws). These images regularly appeared in magazines and websites in the USA, Europe, South Africa, and Brazil.

Maui is an awesome place and I love capturing the beauty of nature found here.

My print work in sold through many of the fine galleries on the island. Maui has some of the most endangered creatures on the planet, I work regularly with conservation groups here documenting their work.

These images are being used by the Nature Conservancy,Haleakala National Park, the Maui Ocean Center and others to promote the incredible work being done here.

Ultrabook Review: The Acer Aspire S3

For the past week, I’ve been using an Acer Aspire S3 that Acer sent me to review. I actually like it–mostly. Mind you, this isn’t a perfect laptop–well, Ultrabook–in any way, but it’s nice. The keys feel good while typing on them, and the boot up is fast thanks to the OS being on the SSD instead of the hard drive. The screen is bright and I haven’t had any issues with glare while using it outside. I also learned it could possibly pass the Brent Test after it accidentally fell out of my backpack. I wasn’t impressed with the battery life, the track pad, or the fact that you need a Louis and Clark expedition to find the arrows on the keyboard.

Nothing really jumped out at us until he mentioned he carries around Duct Tape which could be or could not deal with photography if you are in a certain mood…

Unboxing And Review Of The ClarityOne EB110 Earbuds From CES

ClarityOne_Earbuds_BoxWithTravelcase

 

While at CES, we were privileged to be invited to the ClarityOne press conference where we heard first hand of the clarity and the sounds of the audio of what they put into their speakers. Using what they’ve learned after 12 years of testing and tinkering they presented the EB110 Earbuds. At a price of $129.99 USD they are not the cheap headphones you pick up at Wal-Mart or Target, and you can tell. The minute you put these on and turn up the volume you can tell right away something is different. At a frequency range of 15Hz to 20kHz and a transducer at 7.5mm the sounds coming from these little earbuds are something that can’t be truly appropriated even with words. Currently
