DT’s ‘Better Than Socks’ Holiday Giveaway: V-Moda Crossfade LP Custom Engraved Headphones

Vmoda giveaway headerThere comes a point in a pop-culture product’s life cycle when its ubiquity undermines its popularity. We see this happen all the time in the fashion biz (remember snap bracelets and jorts?), and the consumer electronics market is just as predisposed. Thank God.

Just as the extremely annoying omnipresence of the Nextel phone was its own undoing, it’s only a matter of time until the coolest headphones aren’t cool anymore (sorry, Dre!). When everyone sports the same thing, consumers run in the opposite direction.

The secret to being a trendsetter rather than a slave to fashion is to make your own mark. The trouble is, that tactic can be tough when it comes to our personal electronics. The solution: customization. And we’ve got just the thing.

V-Moda Crossfade LP headphones are comfortable, come with a slick case, an inline mic/control for smartphones, are available in a multitude of color combinations and, best of all, can be custom engraved with just about any logo or design you want. You want a set, don’t you? Good news: we’re going to give a pair away as part of our DT ‘Better Than Socks’ Holiday Giveaway.

To enter, just leave a comment telling us about the most embarrassingly out-of-style fashion trend you’ve ever fallen slave to. The contest closes on December 26, 2012, at which time we’ll announce the winner. And while you anxiously await our decision, you should probably pick out your color combo of choice, as well as what design you’d like engraved on your new headphones.

Don’t forget to check out the rest of DT’s “Better Than Socks” Holiday Giveaways all month long. Good luck!

Sonos Beam Gen 2 soundbar.

If you're shopping for a soundbar, you've probably stumbled upon Sonos. The company is responsible for many of the best soundbars of 2024, thanks to a combination of rich audio, time-tested reliability, and (fairly) reasonable prices. Sonos soundbars are great for home theaters, but they're just as capable of serving as a dedicated sound system for your favorite music, making them a hot commodity among all types of shoppers.

But which Sonos soundbar is the best? Many specs are shared across all devices in its lineup, which can make it difficult to figure out which is best for your needs. Should you opt for the expensive Sonos Arc? Or would you be better served by the affordable Sonos Ray? And what about the mid-range Beam – is it good enough to serve as the anchor of your home theater?

If you were to ask about the biggest trend in streaming video of late, chances are it’d be something called FAST. That’s short for free, ad-supported television. It’s everywhere. And if you’re looking to watch something without having to pay yet another monthly fee, it’s got you covered.

Sling TV has its own FAST service, called Sling Freestream. As the name implies, it’s free. In fact, you don’t even have to have a Sling TV account to watch.

Samsung S95D OLED first look: a reflection on excellence
Samsung S95D OLED

I recently traveled to New Jersey to visit Samsung for an up-close and personal look at the flagship TVs in its 2024 lineup, which includes Samsung’s 8K Neo-QLED and 4K Neo-QLEDs, and the reason we’re here today: the S95D.

The S95D is Samsung’s flagship OLED TV for 2024, and it has been the subject of some consternation for some TV enthusiasts because it has a new anti-glare or anti-reflective screen coating. Is there any merit to that concern? Has it overshadowed how good this TV could actually be thanks to a new 3rd generation QD-OLED panel? Is it any brighter? Should we be excited about this TV?
