What!? Neither Cult publication has ever reviewed Monster’s famed Turbine earphones, even though the IEMs have been hanging on Best Buy end caps for the last several years? Well, that’s an injustice we won’t let stand another day — after all, these are among the best recognized, and most iconic IEMs on the market.

The Turbine is the base model in Monster’s Turbine lineup; though with an MSRP of $180, “base model” seems like a relative term (the two higher models, the Pro Gold and the Pro Copper, are $300 and $400 respectively and are apparently better at reproducing a wider range than the plain-wrapper Turbines reviewed here).

Let me begin this review by admitting that seeing the words “electric” and “British” close together always seems to conjure up images of an MG or Triumph on fire, with flames pouring out of the engine compartment (apologies to British readers, co-workers, editors or friends I may have offended with this statement. Also my mom).

UK-based DBest’s tiny single, and stereo, Bluetooth speaker models — respectively named PS4001BT ($60) and PS4003BT ($70) — didn’t spark; in fact, apart from a lack of sophistication, the tiny dynamos were surprisingly powerful, packing a powerful audio punch into an almost unbelievably minuscule package — especially in the case of the single-speaker unit, the clear winner of the two models.

The Sony Tablet S does things different for Android tablets, but does it do them differently enough?

One of the first things you’ll notice about the Sony Tablet S is its design. It’s not flat, but a wedge that fits comfortably into the hand, like a magazine with its cover folded back. The Tablet S looks wholly unlike any other tablet on the market. It’s something original, something that instead of simply trying to be an iPad knock-off has its own distinct design language. And it’s without a doubt the best thing about the Sony Tablet S. It’s just a shame that this brave and wonderful sense of identity in a sea of iPad clones is only skin deep.

One of the first accessories purchased by mobile consumers happens to be a protective case. Consumers certainly have good reason to protect their investments and nothing’s quite as depressing as dropping a brand new $600+ naked device onto concrete (I should know). Now if we were your normal local brick and mortar mobile carrier or accessory store, we might suggest a “cheap” $20 silicon cover to protect your device. Since we’re anything of the sort, we’ve found you a case that will not only protect your device, but will Androidify it!

An update to the Google Play Store is being pushed out to users, bumping it up to version 3.5.15. You’ll find a few nice changes along with the usual bug fixes. You’ll now have an Installed and All tab for your apps. Like the web version, the All tab will show you all the apps you’ve ever downloaded, even if you’ve since removed them from your device. There’s even a handy dropdown menu for easily switching between your accounts should you have more than one.
