Joby Wavo Pro Microphone
I’ve been looking for a good recording microphone to use with musical auditions for a while now. The Joby Wavo Pro has definitely met that criteria! The Joby Wavo Pro microphone is an on-camera shotgun microphone designed to clean up and remove unwanted structural noise as you record. It has a built-in camera mount that you can tighten down so that there are no mishaps in the middle of recording. You can either connect via Bluetooth or via a TRS to TRS audio cable directly to a camera. You can also connect a secondary microphone to the Wavo Pro for situations where you are performing an interview or need an additional audio input. Battery life looks fantastic, with up to 50 hours of life off a full charge and 8 hours off just a 30 minute charge. This charges via USB-C and has an included USB-A to USB-C cable for charging. In my opinion, USB-C charging is always a fantastic option because who needs one more specialized charging cable to lose. There is also a fuzzy windjammer covering for windy outdoors situations.
We put this microphone through its paces in recording a vocal arrangement, some spoken word, and a musical instrument. I also recorded the same audio with a separate smartphone microphone and the difference was quite telling. In all the smartphone recordings, there was a lot of environmental noise such as bumps and scrapes that weren’t filtered out. The recordings captured with the Joby Wavo Pro were MUCH clearer and a lot of the extraneous noise was filtered out. I was very impressed with the quality. I definitely recommend this microphone for content creators and those looking to up the audio quality on their productions. I think it would make a great gift for the upcoming holiday season.

TOZO HT2 Hybrid Active Noise Canceling Wireless Headphones
We’ve reviewed a few TOZO headphones already including their Golden X1 earbuds and their Open Buds which I both really like. I use the Open Buds for working out and the Golden X1s are great for flights but the small 55mAh batteries just weren’t able to last on 4+ hour flights when using noise canceling. Enter the TOZO HT2 hybrid active noise canceling wireless headphones to save the day. The large 500mAh battery will last 40 hours with max noise canceling on. They’ll completely charge in 2 hours but you can also charge them via USB-C while using them unlike the Golden X1s.
They are super comfortable and along with great sound output due to their 40mm dynamic drivers they have 3 mics for crystal clear calls. The active noise canceling worked great on my flight to cut down on engine and people noise. They came with a 3.5mm analog audio cable so I could watch movies on the plane with them and I was able to switch to transparency mode with one press so I could request a snack and drink from the steward without taking them off. The app is easy to use and you can select between 16 EQ modes and 6 types of noise cancellation modes. With a huge Black Friday discount going on these would make a perfect gift for the jetsetter this Holiday season.

AirPulse AU4 – A Bluetooth speaker with retro vibes!
The Christmas season is nearly upon us, and it’s time to start thinking about gifts for our family and friends. One gift idea is a Bluetooth speaker. AirPulse, a company known for stereo and bookshelf speakers, has recently released its first Bluetooth speaker, the AU4. This is a smallish gadget — it’s roughly 7 inches on all sides and only weighs 6 pounds — that has a guitar amplifier look to it; in fact, you could use line input and connect a guitar to it. The controls on the top are fabulously analog and look like they came from the interior of a Huey helicopter from the Vietnam War. The flip switches control play/pause, the input mode, and power on/off, and the knobs adjust the bass, treble, and volume. The synthetic leather exterior gives it a warm feeling that will be at home in a workshop, man cave, or bonus room over the garage. There’s a single 4-inch speaker with 35 watts of power that will fill a medium to large room with sound. The AU4 has both line and aux inputs, but most people will connect to it using their smartphone via its Bluetooth 5.1 technology. With the cool handles and wireless connectivity, this speaker can easily be moved around; it doesn’t, however, have an internal battery, so it will need a home with power. The AirPulse AU4 is a great gift for anyone looking for great sound in a vintage package.
