Whether its the all gold on gold take, the classic black or deep cover camo, there’s no shortage of options.

Already the makers of some of our favorite options in various price ranges, we are getting a new wireless over-ear set as well some in-ears. While Audio-Technica does cater to just about everyone in terms of price, these new cans will certainly land in the more affordable range.

Nintendo Switch Indie Showcase: No More Heroes, Super Meat Boy Forever, more

As successful as Switch has been for Nintendo, it hasn’t been without criticism including warped consoles and a somewhat underwhelming launch lineup. Despite some fantastic titles already available on the platform like the near-perfect Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild, Arms and Splatoon 2, Nintendo is going to have to do more than bring the Rabbids to the Mushroom Kingdom to keep the hype going. Fortunately, today’s “Nindies” game showcase has brought a lot more to the table…

Western Digital unveils updated My Cloud Home NAS drives, available now

Western Digital’s My Cloud Network Attached Storage solutions are among some of the most consumer friendly options on the market. Many of the other cloud-enabled hard drives out there can be much more complicated and look like you have a server in your living room. WD has been a trusted name in consumer storage for years, so it doesn’t come as much surprise it would bring this tech to the masses. Personally, I think everyone should have some kind of NAS-like technology made available to them these days, so we were excited to hear about Western’s Digital’s next generation personal NAS drives…

While seemingly tailored specifically towards audio professionals and critical listeners, Beyerdynamic headphones are among our favorite out there regardless. I use a pair of DT 770 Pro over-ears on a regular basis in my home studio/office and as far as I am concerned they can’t be beat for sound quality and comfort in the price range. Certainly still on the pricey side, Beyer has dropped a few options that might be considered to be a little bit more appropriate for casual use on-the-go like the T51i among others. And now we are getting word of its latest set of high-end cans for portable use…
