Last Updated: November 7, 2019

1More make some of our favorite headphones and earbuds of all time. Naturally, we were quite excited when we found out they were releasing their first Bluetooth speaker.

Review: Brainwavz B400

Last Updated: July 4, 2018

Every so often, companies will send us multiple bits of gear to review. We love this – it plays merry hell with our review schedule, but it gives us a chance to compare and contrast, and really get an insight into their strengths and weaknesses...

Alex Rosson: What the AUDEZE co-founder did next

Last Updated: August 29, 2019

It’s very rare that something in the headphone world truly surprises us. We like to think we have a good handle on what’s out there, and what’s coming...

Review: Amazon Echo Dot (3rd Gen)

Last Updated: October 25, 2018

Amazon’s Echo series has been a trailblazer for smart speakers. The company was among the first to make virtual assistants available to the world, and with their budget Echo Dot line, they’ve made it even easier to get a smart speaker in your life.

Review: SVS Prime Elevation

Last Updated: December 13, 2016

The problem with most modern living spaces is that they’re just not geared up for home theater.  When most people live in an apartment, or a moderately sized house, there’s no such thing as a dedicated media room...

Audioengine HD3 Review

Last Updated: October 9, 2023

It’s hard not to be enamoured with Audioengine. They make some of the most enjoyable speakers available, from the superlative A5+ powered speakers to the thundering S8 subwoofer. And they've really turned heads with the HD3.

Sennheiser GSP 370 Review

Last Updated: February 19, 2020

The Sennheiser GSP 370 has a reputation as a beast. We’ve never tested a pair of Sennheiser headphones we didn’t like; however, we wanted to put these through the nine circles of headset Hell.

Review: Solis SO-8000

Last Updated: May 18, 2018

Did you know that you can still buy actual hi-fi systems? As in, two speakers and a dedicated CD/tape-deck/AM-FM tower - the kind of thing you used to see in dorm rooms in the 1990s. On that note: meet the SO8000.

Focal Sib Evo 5.1.2 Review

Last Updated: October 5, 2023

When they’re not producing the world’s best headphones, French audio wizards Focal spend their time producing some rather good speaker systems. We recently spent a month with one of these, the Focal Sib Evo 5.1.2.

Review: Beats by Dre BeatsX

Last Updated: August 24, 2018

The BeatsX wireless earbuds have become stupidly popular. Despite the upsurge in true wireless headphones - in other words, ones without any cable at all - they've managed to sell extremely well.

Review: AudioQuest NightHawk Carbon

Last Updated: July 4, 2018

It’s always a bit of a gamble, calling something cool. Cool is such an ephemeral term. After all, Limp Bizkit were once cool. So were Capri pants, ironic T-shirts, Blackberries. The Audioquest NightHawk Carbons are cool, and always will be.

TAVES 2017 - Day 1

Last Updated: October 13, 2017

We admit: we may have gotten a little carried away. But can you blame us? If you deposit any writer from this website into a hall filled with high-end speakers, amps and headphones, we're going to run around like the kids in a chocolate factory.

Klipsch The Three Review

Last Updated: March 16, 2020

Here at The Master Switch, we've tested an astronomical amount of wireless speakers. From portable to stationary, waterproof to pressurized and potential explosive hazard; we've seen them all.

Kanto TUK Review

Last Updated: October 9, 2023

We have a soft spot for Kanto, and not just because they come from Coquitlam - a town no more than a few miles away from our offices in Vancouver, BC. We have a soft spot for them because they make genuinely fantastic wireless speakers.

Review: Sony TA-ZH1ES

Last Updated: July 5, 2018

Dear Sony marketing department: can we talk? Can we be real for a sec? Thank you. We’re just trying to understand, you see. We want to figure out how your minds work. How do you name something the TA-ZH1ES with a straight face?
