Seriously, someone forgot to tell us about Bluelounge and if you haven’t heard – boy you have no clue what you are missing. Here is a company that makes products we really need (if anyone has us for Secret Santa, hint hint). Almost everyone one of their products has to do with hiding and storing cables, to be clear – those are the ones we really could use, today we tackle the one that does not, Bluelounge’s Cool Feet. (We secretly wish we could be reviewing their StudioDesk, but we all have to start small)

Takings screenshots is something that we seem to do a more more then one would think would be necessary. Almost always we are taking pictures of something off the internet: funny picture, weird error, massive typo or possibly a picture of TheMacFeed’s latest redesign (seriously, we will stop now). Anyways, we used to always use the standard “command + shift + 4″ with the more advanced “command + shift + 4 + space” method, both built-into Apple’s operating system. While this method works fine for a quick snap to take a LOLCATZ picture for our best friend, when trying to capture something for say a review for TheMacFeed or a presentation, we prefer perfection. Realmac Software (of RapidWeaver fame) has brought a beautiful new application that surprised us in terms of function, LittleSnapper.

Tritton is known for their wide array of high-end multi-media products. Most of all they are known for their Gaming Headphones. When TheMacFeed received a chance to get our hands on the newly released Tritton AX 720 (sold exclusively at BestBuy) we couldn’t say yes faster. Our review of the Tritton AX 720 Gaming Headset is after the break. (more…)

Since buying the iPhone there is one thing I’ve been missing, that is a way to stream content directly from my NAS, specifically movies and TV shows (formatted for iPod/iPhone) and watch them anywhere in my house. It may sound as though I am insane for wanting such a feature but for me there are times when I’m sitting around thinking that it would be nice. (more…)

Earlier this week we had the wonderful opportunity of speaking with Matt Engstrom. Matt is the Category Manager of Monitoring Products for Shure. We have reviewed quite a few Shure products, and almost all of them Matt has overseen. Headphone lovers get ready, after the jump is a bit of history and truth.

We aren’t going to lie, our first thought was: We can’t wait to hear the 840s. What we are referring to is Shure’s SRH440, which we will review today and Shure’s SRH840, which we will review later. The latter is the flagship model of Shure’s new headphone line. We have previously reviewed Shure’s earphone line and a microphone; and after the SRH440, we at TheMacFeed are still not disappointed.

A disclaimer: This will be one of the most detailed reviews you see here and probably on any other website. There are numerous pages that detail every seam and zipper of TOM BINH’s creations, comparing them to some of the more popular options for each category. We find that we need to take the time to document the detail that is simply standard for the Seattle-based company and explaining why this will be the last bag you ever own. (If you would like to see our thoughts on Tom Bihn’s Brain Cell, click here.)
When you take this out of the box: You smell greatness, You see greatness, You feel greatness. If you were like us and ordered additional products (Freudian Slip, Brain Cell, etc…) besides your Smart Alec, the factory will place the items in the larger bag, which makes the unpacking a little more fun. Make no mistake, we don’t believe in perfection, but we do believe that when you pull this bag out of its box, you have bought the best.

We aren’t going to hide anything: this is the best “case” we have seen. Incase, Booq, ColcaSac, you name them – TOM BIHN beats them. The ingenious mixture of egg-crate cushioning and soft internal padding creates a unique pocket for our MacBook Pro to sit in safely. Pair it with one of Tom’s bags, and you went from winning the Kentucky Derby to getting the Triple Crown.

Usually when you buy a product the second time around, it’s because you were impressed the first time. That was not the case with Speck’s SeeThru Satin Soft-Touch on a Hard Shell Case. We bought this product, because Incase takes forever (literally forever) to update their case line. It’s been over eighteen months since we last had a Speck case on one of our Apple notebooks and we do think that they have improved the case, but definitely not enough.

Computer speakers to begin with are a mess. You are almost certainly overpaying no matter what product you buy and the chances of finding something remotely accurate is a rather large joke. Despite these problems, most users end up buying more speakers then they need at the expense of their wallets and sound quality. A flood of companies that have produced home theater equipment have made the transition into the market including the likes of Bose, Klipsch, Altec Lansing, Harman Kardon, Polk and JBL. It’s time to welcome one more: Swan. Chances are you have never heard of Swan; but, it’s time to take note, especially if you work for one of the aforementioned companies. (more…)

We have previously suggested that Shure is a company that made a reputation for itself by making microphones. We finally got review the flagship (when we say “flagship,” we don’t mean the top-of-the-line, rather the one that made the name) product that gave Shure the reputation that it has today. With the legendary Shure SM58 microphone we got to review Shure’s newest product, the Shure X2u XLR-to-USB adaptor. Once again Shure enters a market that is dominated by the “big boys” who have dominated the market for decades, however, Shure once again creates a product that continues the reputation that was created so long ago changing the way we listen to sound.

Created by Spud Pickles, Ghost Radar is an app that helps you become a ghost hunter. It has its very own unique UI that lets anyone track down paranormal creatures. But does it work? ”Ghost Radar employs a proprietary algorithm to analyze the quantum flux. The measurements are displayed graphically as blips on the radar along with numeric and textual readouts. Use your Ghost Radar to hunt for odd changes in the flux. Hunters of all types may find anomalous areas of their environment where readings simply can’t be explained. You be the judge. Are the results of your hunting evidence of paranormal activity?”

Logitech started by making mice and keyboards. That small little company has grown a tad, so much so that in addition to pointing and typing devices, the company makes: speakers, webcams, remotes, stands, headsets, earphones, iPod docks, bags, hubs and even controllers for gaming systems. But, Logitech never forgot where it came from and sometime in between 1981 and last December when it released its billionth mouse; they released the MX™ Revolution.

If someone told you that there are people that spend $300 on a backpack, you would call these people “crazy.” booq calls these (crazy) people, “customers;” that is problem number one. Problem number two is debatable, but the rest of the problems that I had with the booq Python Pro were only magnified by the pricing. But, it’s not all bad; there is a lot that is quite good and there is the eternal question of, is anythingelse really better?

As mentioned before Shure is for musicians, before Shure was making headphones they were making microphones. Oddly, it’s not Shure’s experience in microphones that makes the Shure MPA one of the must have accessories for anyone who wants to listen to music on their iPhone, rather it’s the fact that it’s simply without question the best. Many users who enjoy a nice set of headphones and the ability to use their iPhone for calls found that there was really not an option, but Shure quickly solved the problem and ended the discussion with its SE Line and Shure MPA.
