Panasonic RP-HTX7: Modern Retro

Panasonic RP-HTX7: Modern Retro

The Panasonic RP-HTX7 are a play on the great retro look of classic stereo headphones, with the modern technology for great-sounding digital sound. Usually you can’t expect much from a sub-$40 pair of headphones, but Panasonic really did us all a solid with these. The first thing I noticed is the great bass range that these...

Kinivo BTH410 Wireless Headphones

Kinivo BTH410 Wireless Headphones

I’ve reviewed a couple things from Kinivo in the past: a car bluetooth setup and a bluetooth speaker. Both products were fairly good, and I use the car bluetooth basically every day now–I can’t imagine not having it in my car. Given the past success of my Kinivo experiences, I thought that I would try out the...

Pines Wheatgrass Smoothie

Pines Wheatgrass Smoothie

Up to this point, I have never ingested wheat grass (at least to my knowledge) in any form. If you don’t know about wheatgrass, it’s that grass you see at juice bars where the dude behind the counter starts cutting some, puts it in the blender, and then charges you $20. I’ve asked myself, “Why...
