Although the technology behind wireless headphones is still improving, that’s no reason to skip the current options if you know you want Bluetooth headphones. Some of them are pretty good. Last year Giz alum Adrian Covert tried a bunch of major Bluetooth headphones and liked the Phillipe Starck-designed Parrot Zik the best. From the review: More »

At $600, which is a common MSRP, they’re in direct competition with starter DSLRs, which remain the best kind of camera to buy if you’re seriously learning photography. But they’re also feeling pressure from the low end—sure, photos taken with APS-C sensors look great when they’re blown up, but for most web uses they end up being overkill. The fact remains, though, that the right mirrorless camera can produce slick images, and the Sony NEX-F3 does just that. Mario Aguilar reviewed it last June and found a lot to like: More »

The Boxee Box came out in November 2010, which is eons ago in gadget time. Since then, there has been a new Apple TV, two new flagship Rokus, and even a new Boxee. The king of the streamer world is now the $100 Roku 3. Still—this absurdly shaped open-source streamer has quite the following, and that’s because it’s the last major set top box to embrace a maximalist, open philosophy: wanna plug in a hard drive and play some Xvid files? Sure! Channels for MLB.tv, or Netflix or Youtube? Got ’em. Hey, want to catch some over-the-air television? You can do that with a $50 dongle. More »

Although Seiko was founded in the 19th century, it wasn’t until the 1960 that they started challenging Swiss watchmakers with mass-produced mechanical timepieces.
