Soothfeel’s quick-drying Linerless shorts get you summer ready at a fraction of the price, 22 color options from $20

Linerless $20

Needless to say, brand name apparel and footwear fetches a premium just for the logo on the tag. We all know this, we all sort of hate this, but most of us pay the list price anyway. And that’s fine, sometimes the logo on the tag does come alongside a better quality product, that’s for sure, but sometimes it doesn’t. On top of that, simply due to the inherent nature of the product itself, it really doesn’t matter all that much and, in many cases, this is particualrly true in the apparel space. That’s where these Soothfeel Linerless Shorts come in.

If you have a couple of pets running around your home like I do, once you clean floors, it doesn’t take very long for hair and small messes to build back up.

Are Wireless earbuds any good for gaming? ASUS Cetra Speednova review [Video]

While wireless earbuds are increasingly popular because of their small size and affordable nature, the water gets murkier when it comes to gaming. Not only do they need to sound good and preferably be affordable, but they also need decent battery life and be comfortable for longer gaming sessions. For those reasons, I’ve only found a few wireless gaming earbuds that I’ve actually enjoyed using. I’ll mainly be talking about the recent ASUS ROG Cetra SpeedNova true wireless earbuds for this review, but I’ll also sprinkle in my experiences with other earbuds I’ve tried over years and what makes them stand out or, more often than not, what makes me put them back in the box. Be sure to hit the video below for all of the details.

Switch Online members can now play Zelda Four Swords, Metroid: Zero Mission, Perfect Dark, and more

Nintendo hosted what can only be described as a completely epic Direct showcase streaming event yesterday.

Review: JBL PartyBox Stage 320 Speaker – a 36-pound monster that blew me away

Buy Now!

I’ve had the pleasure of using quite a few Bluetooth speakers over the years, with some of my recent favorites being the Marshall Kilburn II and Tribit StormBox Micro. So when JBL offered to let me review its new PartyBox 320, I was interested, but not necessarily ecstatic. That started to change once I began digging into the specifications and realized just how monstrous and powerful this speaker could wind up being. My suspicions were confirmed when this 36-pound monster arrived in the mail.

While unboxing the JBL PartyBox Stage 320, I couldn’t help but smile. Looking back, I think it’s because I knew that the size and heft meant that this thing was going to pack a punch. Seeing the actual speaker helped seal the deal too, with loads of easy-to-access controls, plenty of inputs around back, and wheels along the base paired with a handle up top that make it easier to roll it from one place to another. I couldn’t wait to start trying it out, so keep on reading to hear about my experience unboxing, pairing, and using this powerful speaker.
