Lately, I’ve been kicking it late-90s style with The Prodigy. The band’s music transports me back to a wonderful time in my life when I first discovered Linux and was a proud member of a long-time acting rep company (Stage One).
You’ll have to pardon the reminiscing, but that’s some powerful music.

When I unboxed the EarFun Wave Life hybrid active noise-cancelling headphones
Quite good
When “Fat of the Land” is heard through even halfway decent equipment, it’s still a brilliant experience. So, it came as no surprise that I found myself dancing around my office like it was 1997 and I was attending a rave. All that was missing were glowsticks, my favorite cyberpunk attire, and shoulder-to-shoulder people getting their electric funk on.

Normally, with EarFun headphones and earbuds, I immediately connect them to the EarFun app to customize the EQ. I was surprised that I didn’t feel the pull to do just that with the Wave Life headphones. I listened to the entire “Fat of the Land” album with the default EQ curve, and it sounded quite good.

EarFun is one of those companies that most American consumers don’t know about, and yet they quietly and consistently produce some of the best low-end devices on the market. Buy a pair, throw on your favorite tunes, and dance the night away.
