Fluance Signature Series HiFi Review

Last Updated: April 10, 2019

Review: Sengled Pulse

Last Updated: November 22, 2016

Back in the distant past (2014) The Master Switch existed as a general tech site. Sure, we had the best speakers and headphones and amps rounded up, but we also featured everything from laptops and printers to snowblowers and blenders.

Review: Grado SR325e

Last Updated: July 4, 2018

Grado's SR325e headphones might not be the newest model, but the company recently shared a little bit of their cachet with us at The Master Switch, and since these headphones are still very much available, we decided we’d give them a full review.

Review: Rotel RA-1572

Review: Modular Mod-1 Wireless

Last Updated: July 4, 2018

If you’ve never heard the name Modular, or Mod-1, we aren’t surprised. Until recently, we hadn’t either. But Modular has released a pair of wireless headphones that might just dethrone the uber-popular Beats by Dre Solo3 Wireless.

Review: UE Roll 2

Last Updated: June 24, 2016

The tech we review is often classy, usually sleek, occasionally drop dead gorgeous. But very rarely does it invoke a sense of glee, or surprise. The UE Roll 2 does both, in spectacular fashion.

Review: Beyerdynamic Aventho Wireless

Last Updated: July 4, 2018

Beyerdynamic make some of the best headphones on the planet. They’ve been doing it for quite a long time, so they know a thing or two about sound. But they have surprisingly few Bluetooth models...
