JAMO E855 Reference Tower Speakers Review

Add as a preferred source on Google

Quote from the review at Future Looks:

“The JAMO E855′ present such depth, warmth, clarity, and detail to all sorts of music, even movies. They have really taken our high value, high performance Parasound HALO system to the next level, but without being out of the price range of what we had attached to it before. It puzzles me to see our Klipsch perform so poorly next to them. Perhaps JAMO knows something the Americans don’t? All I know is what my ears have told me, and they have told me that the JAMO E855s make all my music sound better, more real, and more enjoyable.

Overall, I can safely say that the JAMO E855s are some of the best sounding speakers in its price range. I’ve heard many offerings at or around this price point, and based on what I’m hearing and seeing from the E855s, they could easily be in a price bracket at least double what they are. They really do sound like a more expensive, more refined speaker. Until I hear something better at this price point, the JAMO E855 Reference Towers will wear the Futurelooks “Editor’s Choice Award” proudly.”

Samsung’s new clip-on earbuds are coming to the US, and they’re not cheap
You can listen to music without blocking out the world around you, but Samsung is charging a premium for the convenience.
Samsung Galaxy Buds On earbuds

Earlier this month, Samsung unveiled its first clip-on earbuds called the Galaxy Buds On. Initially, it announced pricing and availability details only for Korea, but now the brand has revealed them for the US market as well. As per Samsung, the Galaxy Buds On will cost $229 and will be available to buy in early November. Only one color option, Black, will be available initially.

That is quite a steep price, considering the flagship Galaxy Buds 4 Pro go for $250. The Buds On also has no active noise cancellation, weaker bass response, and lower dust and water resistance. All that said, the use case is fundamentally different. While you might choose the Buds 4 Pro as the best daily drivers for your Galaxy smartphone, the Buds On keep your ear canals open, letting you listen to music while staying aware of traffic, conversations, and everything else happening around you. I can see the appeal for people who find traditional earbuds uncomfortable, or those who regularly listen to music while running or commuting.

Instagram is making its way to yet another screen, and this time, Apple TV is getting a taste of the Reels rabbit hole. The company has launched a dedicated Instagram app for Apple TV, bringing Reels, longer videos, and live shows to the big screen. So, if watching one quick clip on a phone somehow turns into an hour of scrolling, there's now a much larger screen for that.
